Not sure why AJ is in against Dickey. Right handers usually hit better against the knuckleball.

[thethe]

975 OPS in 15 career AB's is the reason. Ok, I can deal with that.

[Oklahomabrave]

What the ****, play Peterson!

[thethe]

What the ****, play Peterson!

I really just don't know what to say at this point.

[Heyward]

I really just don't know what to say at this point.

[chop2chip]

Yeah. Can't say I agree to play KJ before Peterson. Especially after Peterson has been more productive the last couple games.

[keithlaw]

I really just don't know what to say at this point.

He learned it from Bobby

[CrimsonCowboy]

Take this for what you will, but Joe mentioned that everyone in the lineup has faced Dickey before.

[thethe]

I love that MLB has worked on speeding up these games. Baseball is more enjoyalbe to watch in general.

[thethe]

Should be a 3-0 count right now on Markakis.

[thethe]

Should have been a 4 pitch walk.

[thethe]

On base machine.

[thethe]

Need to capitalize here.

[Julio3000]

Johnson > Dickey

[thethe]

AJ has hit so many balls hard this year. Has been a pleasant surprise.

[thethe]

Johnson > Dickey

Where does Wood fit in that equation?

[atl717]

Bethancourt sitting again is a joke.

[thethe]

Bethancourt sitting again is a joke.

AJ has done well against Dickey and has been hot in general lately.

[thethe]

Good first inning. Hopefully we get into their bullpen by the 6th inning.
