Good for Gosselin getting so much playing time. The farm just keeps churning out major league players. They don't all need to be stars but just to get contributors is huge.

[nsacpi]

Gosselin gives hints of posessing heretofore unsuspected talismanic powers.

[MadduxFanII]

Revere is having as bad a season as it is possible to have while hitting .303. So that's fun.

[The Chosen One]

BJ gets 2 hits and then gets benched...

[Hulavol]

Let's get this done. Come on boys!

[Ampere]

Gosselin should start at 3B against right handed pitchers, but he shouldn't start at 2B against lefties. La Stella has killed lefties (.321/.406/.446) - probably because he is so good at going the other way.

Good thing Gattis isn't starting... I mean, he's only 3 for 6 with 2 homers against Hamels

[MadduxFanII]

Howard might reach first base eventually.

[Braves1976]

Good thing Gattis isn't starting... I mean, he's only 3 for 6 with 2 homers against Hamels

Yea, given his success against Hamels you'd think they'd scheduled his off day better. Oh well.

Gattis hit the longest homer in MLB last year off Hamels. That was the game he just missed three homers off him too.

[Braves1976]

Good start by Heyward and Boni. Come on Freeman!

[Braves1976]

That terrible strike two call to Freeman led to that strikeout. Ump already burned us in a big spot.

Come on Justin!

[Braves1976]

Great job Heyward and Boni, double steal! Come on Justin!

[thewupk]

3 and 4 hitters fail

[USMA76]

This ump has seen Hamels' numbers against the Braves and obviously doesn't want to do anything to hurt those stats.

[Braves1976]

Terrible AB by Justin, chased a ball way high and outside. All we needed was a little contact to score too. Now up to CJ or we waste the effort of Heyward and Boni.

[Five]

And that's why this team sucks. First two runners on and 3 and 4 guys, best hitters in the lineup, FAIL.

[Braves1976]

This ump has seen Hamels' numbers against the Braves and obviously doesn't want to do anything to hurt those stats.

The ump did cost us the Freeman AB. Now CJ fails as usual lately so we get nothing.

Now Hamels will probably settle in and dominate.

[jsebe10]

Yup.

[Braves1976]

We even got a double steal that inning with less than two outs and still got nothing. That is hard to do.
