BJ catches that one.
Terrible defense by Reed Johnson. Pastornicky can do better than that or even Constanza.

Oh no!
Leadoff triple!
Bad reaction from Reed, but Coazrt laced that ball. Minor looks bad early on. Let's see some magic Mike right now.
Our rotation has become an issue.
Reed cost us that run, that isn't on Minor. That was a terrible route by Reed.
Chris Davis is good. 36th homer.
Has nothing to do with where he hits in the order, it has to do with his approach at the plate. The reason he shouldn't hit leadoff right now is because he's not swinging the bat well, he tries to pull everything. If he starts hitting line drives and focuses on using the whole field I have no problem with him leading off for this team.
Perhaps an explanation for the "Wood to the MLB rotation comment"
Referring to Emk.

Might be a long day
This is getting ridiculous.
It's a double, I think!
The break is very much needed bu our guys right now
How many damn hits does Choo have against us.
Good thing that wasn't a HR. oh wait...the run scored anyway.
Minor needed to shut down this team today, I guess that's not going to happen.
It doesn't matter how good your team is. All you need in a lead off hitter is someone with a great OBP. The Braves have a guy capable of doing that in Jason Heyward. Having good speed and being a great baserunner is overrated in my opinion as a lead off hitter.
So you don't think his approach changes based on where he is in the lineup that causes him to hit much better when he's not in the lead off spot?
Sure looked like Minor was getting squeezed on those 1st 2 pitches to Choo - both looked pretty close to strikes to me
The ump wasn't giving Minor the inside corner that Choo AB. But that's no reason to throw it where he did. That run is on Minor certainly.
