4/18/15 GDT: Looks like a new starting CF / Peterson getting the LaStella treament

[thethe]

This offense is not bad if Freeman is who he is supposed to be.

[Tapate50]

I wonder if it's more irritating to hit a knuckle-ball or trying to catch it

Freddie Freeman says it ain't anything to be worried about hitting one, but Russell Martin is having a tough time back there

[AerchAngel]

This is what happens when Freeman does not get his hugs.

I wonder what the baseballs' family is going to do now with their lawsuit about him assaulting their baseballs?

[CrimsonCowboy]

Nick got lucky there. That was a strikeout.

I think Martin cost him a strike because he got fooled and caught that pitched in an awkward way.

[keithlaw]

No power

[thethe]

So you guys think that Markakis 460 OBP is helping so far this year?

[zbhargrove]

Freddie has a sweet homer swing

[CrimsonCowboy]

Freddie Freeman says it ain't anything to be worried about hitting one, but Russell Martin is having a tough time back there

Yep. Freddie just proved he can hit a knuckler while Martin cost Dickey a strike.

[thethe]

I think Martin cost him a strike because he got fooled and caught that pitched in an awkward way.

Oh yeah, that is what definitely happened. Which is a shame because it shows that umpires are using other factors aside from whether or not the ball crosses the plate in the 2 dimensional K-zone.

[Hawk]

Jace would've had that.

[Prikichi]

I don't understand all the Callaspo hate. Dude can hit. So why not go with the hot hand?

[thethe]

Not an easy play by any means but Callaspo has to field that.

[keithlaw]

I don't understand all the Callaspo hate. Dude can hit. So why not go with the hot hand?

Because Jace getting playing time is more important to the organization than Fat Albert getting a few singles.

[sturg33]

Love me some home runs

[keithlaw]

Love me some home runs

Can't wait for Mallex and Peraza so we can see a few of the in the park variety

[CrimsonCowboy]

Dang Jonny! That could've hurt

[Hawk]

I don't understand all the Callaspo hate. Dude can hit. So why not go with the hot hand?

I agree. Callaspo needs to be in the lineup right now, and until he stops hitting. Chris Johnson should be the odd man out. Braves are clearly trying to puff up his trade value.

[thethe]

Love me some home runs

And you thought the Braves would hit like 50 this year after all the moves.

[sturg33]

And you thought the Braves would hit like 50 this year after all the moves.

50 was obviously a joke but 100 would surprise me. I'd love to be wrong

[thethe]

What a sweet pick by Wood there!
