Leaving Jace in leadoff against the lefty. Nice vote of confidence that the kid is getting it together.

Amazing lineup. Simmons and eight guys who were somewhere else last year.

Expecting a huge game from Swish

@KevinMcAlpin
Freeman will take BP w/the #Braves today at Turner Field before joining the @GwinnettBraves in Columbus. Expected to be activated Wed in SD

I know the lefty-righty matchup favors putting Gomes in the lineup but I'd personally rather see Bourn playing. He's been hitting the ball hard and, sooner or later, those line drives are going to turn into hits. Defensively, we're far better off with Bourn in left field not to mention the noticeable speed advantage Bourn brings.

Would rather have seen Bourn in lineup and ciriaco in for Peterson at 2b. Ciriaco been swinging well.

Peterson almost made me look stupid

So Corbin is on a strict pitch count, so we swing away. Work him guys and get in their pen

[USMA76]

Another quality AB by Swisher. Nothing iike having two pitchers in the lineup. Get well soon, Freddie!

On the bright side, Swisher is ideal to help us get that top 10 or even top 5 draft pick. :)

[msstate7]

Folty looking pretty good right now. Man, I'd love for him to live up to his potential

Somehow, I'm not terribly elated by that perspective.

[msstate7]

So much for Corbin's pitch count. He's gonna throw a complete game in 90 pitches. Great approach, fredi... Don't try to get to their bullpen

[Braves1976]

That terrible curveball had crush me written all over it.

[UNCBlue012]

Folty is really good for a bit, then throws just absolutely stupid pitches, then gets back on track. It's part of growing up, I know, but lord it's annoying.

Yeah, Nevermind

[msstate7]

What a crappy approach we have in this game. Hey fredi, Corbin is a good pitcher... Let's try to get him to his pitch count and go after the pen.

[msstate7]

Folty has a great arm, but I'll be surprised if he's a starter for us long term.

[buck75]

Folty has some bad luck &/or the Braves defensive players are positioned very well.

[msstate7]

Folty era now 5.49

Last year for Astros = 5.30

Edwin. Where's Edwin.
