It's pretty sweet to have two elite defenders on the field every night.

Harang, who pitches tonight in MIA, is 1st since Pedro Martinez in '97 to open season with 5 start starts of 6+ innings, with 1 or 0 runs
Neat stats. Braves are second to last in all of baseball in runs scored and have the 8th most strikeouts.

That's true. But I wonder if the conclusion of advance scouts is "make them hit the ball" and we are seeing the results of that. You still have to be careful with Freeman, J. Upton, and Heyward, but the rest of these guys are pretty easy to pitch to. Outside of the occasional whallop from Gattis and the three aforementioned guys, who is going to beat you in this line-up if you make them hit the ball?
The Braves' Feel Me Index (FMI) has absolutely plummeted to a season-low 2.27 over the past week.

True. If I'm an opposing pitcher, I pitch around Freeman and Upton and have no worries about the other guys at all. You may get the occasional homer from Gattis, but with Uggla, Gattis, BeeeJ, Simmons, CJ, there are far too many easy outs that don't even stress the opposing starter. And outside of Uggla, why would a pitcher even through a pitch in the strike zone vs. those guys?

My first contribution: Ramiro Pena has the same number of home runs as Dan Uggla, in 69 fewer at-bats.

I was curious about losing a no hitter with 2 outs in the 9th since it happened to Darvish last night for the 2nd time in his career and I wanted to know how many pitchers have had that happen to them more then once. 3 Pitchers in total have done that now.
8/4/1989—Dave Stieb, Toronto vs. New York Yankees
9/24/1988—Dave Stieb, Toronto at Cleveland
9/30/1988—Dave Stieb, Toronto vs. Baltimore
4/2/2013—Yu Darvish, Texas at Houston
4/2/2014—Yu Darvish, Texas vs. Boston
5/25/1908—Bill Burns, Washington vs. Detroit
7/31/1909—Bill Burns, Chicago White Sox at Washington
Poor Dave Stieb had it happen 3 times including back to back starts in 88.
