4/17/15 GDT: Maybin getting more burn / Peterson batting 8th

[Garmel]

Great play by the Asshole!

AJ with the heads up play. Some real tough AB's we are having so far today.

[Julio3000]

Markakis with a 390 OBP so far. Not showing enough power but we can live with that if he is getting on base at that clip.

He's been OB like a fool the past few games. Dude needs to be leading off ;-)

[Dalyn]

Just like they practiced.

At the very least in the 2 spot. Problem is Freeman is really the only hitter that resembles a 3/4/5 hitter. But, that will come in time.

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah Crystal!

He really does, and he should've started the year there.

[thethe]

Hutchinson has no control.

[Dalyn]

Terrible job from Simmons there.

Rebuild time.

[thethe]

Shorten up here Jace. Just need a single.

[thethe]

Ouch..that was not a good AB from Jace. You can't take that pitch with 2 strikes.

(Insert Melvin smiley SAV needs to put up.)

[thethe]

Guess Julio didn't feel like showing up tongiht.

[bravesnumberone]

Nobody to blame but Teheran so far.

[Dalyn]

Brutal.

[Dalyn]

Wish we could've grabbed Donaldson. Great player.

Given our leadoff issues, I thought I'd point out that Mallex Smith is starting off great again tonight. Base hit, bunted to second, steals third and scores on a Rio Riuz groundout to the pitcher. I'm liking Mallex Smith so far, he was great in ST and is hitting .346 so far in Mississippi (SSS I know). Hopefully he'll solve our leadoff issues no later than 2016.
