[yeezus]

Unfortunately BJ not creeping down.
wink wink

[stpeteirish]

sign of relief..was afraid Fredi was going to play Doumit in LF. Rockies might be turning those triples into inside the park HR's.

[gilesfan]

Is this a joke or is that the real lineup?

[jpack1]

If Doumit was in RF I would swear today must be Sunday.

[The Chosen One]

TLS creeping up because no Gattis or Justin. lol

[bravesnumberone]

Puke-inducing lineup. Going to wind up squandering what should have been a series win if Santana can't get his **** together today.

[jsebe10]

if everyone is healthy, this team is way better than their record now! Playing them scares me, which is why I was not at all surprised last night.

Is this your first time hearing about or watching a game in Coors Field? This venue makes an avg hitter look like Mickey Mantle. Look at these guys' splits on the road...You'll see the truth there. The prime example is Drew Stubbd...he's not come close to hitting .240 in 3 seasons and he's hitting .326

[jsebe10]

This....Tulo's splits were insane. He's batting something like .430 at home I believe?

Yup. And .248 on the road. Same with Blackmon. .331 in Coors with a .960 OPS... .248 with a .653 OPS on the road.

The Rockies aren't very good folks and neither is their pitching staff. It's time we all to the realizitation that the Braves aren't very good.

[UNCBlue012]

The Braves biggest issue is that Freeman is sucking right now. IF he's hitting, this team is fine more times than not.

[jsebe10]

Josh Rutledge is hitting .500 w/ 1.215 OPS at home.

.240 w/ .792 on the road.

[Jay212033]

Smh this team minus La Stella looks like they're ready to board the plane smh.

[Dalyn]

Smh this team minus La Stella looks like they're ready to board the plane smh.

At least we know it won't hit anything with them inside.

[UNCBlue012]

I can figure out who Santana is. He absolutely cruises and then gives up homers out of nowhere. I like him, but I don't trust him at all.

It's ****ing Colorado.

[UNCBlue012]

It's ****ing Colorado.

You know that I understand that. You act like this hasn't happened in Colorado alone. It's been this way the last 5+ starts or so.

[bravesnumberone]

It's ****ing Colorado.

Could have fooled me with our POS offense.

[jsebe10]

1-16 on the series and struggling mightily. The Rocks ploy a shift on you and you can't swallow your pride enough to put a bunt down.

[waraueagle]

'Absolute joke that we are getting ready to give this scrub his first win of the season after being basically shutdown by a middle of the road AAA pitcher who was struggling with his control before being called up. The numbers posted on our offense so far this year compared last year is very telling. Hey, Greg Walker! You have any ideas???

[waraueagle]

The numbers I'm referring to were posted during the first inning on the broadcast on SportSouth, btw.
