[nsacpi]

Expecting a huge game from Jonny Gomes against Greinke. Love the way Fredi goes with the gut rather than the platoon splits data.

[Hawk]

Glad to see Uribe hitting the ground running.

Glad to see Uribe hitting the ground running.

Well ... waddling at least.

[Hawk]

Well ... waddling at least.

Look! Uribe is doing wind-sprints in the outfield.

[Garmel]

Juan is going to be huge for us tonight.

[Orphan Black]

Markakis hits his first homer tonight.

[jpx7]

Markakis hits his first homer tonight.

I predict he gets close, total-base-wise: 4-4 with four singles, an RBI, and a run scored.

4-4 with four singles?

The famous Markakykle.

Markykle?

I am going to have a hard time rooting for Uribe.

To be fair, if Kelly Johnson were available Gomes wouldn't be in there tonight.

[UNCBlue012]

Hmm...

#GBraves Game 2 vs. LHV:
Peraza CF
Castro SS
Garcia 3B
Kazmar 2B
Nieves C
Kleinknecht 1B
Jones LF
Benson RF
Marimon SP

[Hawk]

About damn time.

[Garmel]

Not a bad idea to have Peraza play a little CF. If he comes up later in the year he can play CF and move Maybin to LF.

[Dunit24]

IDK why im happy we got Uribe. IDK why im glad to see Gomes in the lineup again. BTW would yall risk Petersons development to place Uribe at 2B if CJ comes back strong and we are winning?

My gut said no, but upon reflection I think I'd do it if it got Johnson traded quicker.

What makes y'all think Uribe can still play second base? He hasn't played it since 2011.

[NinersSBChamps]

The trade is pointless. Why have Uribe and Johnson on the roster. They are getting about 12 million this season combined and they won't play at the same time.

The Braves would love to trade Johnson if they could find a taker and they'll likely trade Uribe too at the deadline if he improves his stock enough. Though they might keep Uribe should they find a taker for CJ first, doubtful IMO. Further, I am expecting Uribe will start vs most righties and CJ vs most lefties.
