Heyward hurt is back

Wouldn't Bono be more suitable to leadoff? Am I way off base here?

[Braves1976]

He has hit best leadoff, esp. vs lefties as he's hitting over .400 against them. He is also 4-7 vs tonight's pitcher too.

So no that's not off base, it makes a lot of sense! But Fredi is still Fredi...

[Julio3000]

He hasn't had a hit in years.

He's focusing on third-world debt forgiveness now, anyway.

That sounds about right.

[Hulavol]

Calling Bono to get at least two RBIs tonight.....especially from his non-natural position in the eighth hole...

Did some research and you are correct. Also did not know he's was good friends with Fredi

You are on base as much as BJ is.

[Braves1976]

You are on base as much as BJ is.

Plus when BJ gets on he steals second only to pop up off the bag where they can tag him out.

crazy split, Stultz is 3-4 at home with a 4.50 ERA...and 0-9 on the road with ERA almost 6.

So if the Pads get a few runs off of Minor we'll probably lose.

God dammit you stole my joke.

[stpeteirish]

Giants DFA Uggla. SF doesn't screw around, perform or so long buddy.

[CJC]

How long until we find out if Bonafacio will play CF when Heyward comes back?

[stpeteirish]

Pitchers droppin like flies. Cliff Lee, Matt Cain likely done for season; Marlin's Alvarez DL with shoulder soreness. He beat the Nats, then went on the DL. Way to man up, Alvarez.

Well, they also aren't on the hook for 18.5 million dollars either, you can make a much quicker decision.

Have to be pictures involved for him to be this insane?

Lol

Papelbon K's Harper with 2 on and 1 out bottom 9. Full count pitch.

[CJC]

Cabrera up in his Nats debut with a chance for game tying or GWRBI
