Slam by Granderson makes it 4-0.
Consecutive hits by Adonis, AJP, and KJ pull back one run. Mallex doubles in another.
Kelly should've scored on that.
Good to see mallex bounce back after yesterday
How about Adonis AB to start that rally? He is back to impressing at the plate despite hitting into some bad luck at times. Looks to be waiting on his pitches more and not chasing as much. I like his bat and think he needs to be starting in LF where he can give us more value (Adonis DRS was actually a positive in LF last year in a small sample and he looked good in AAA there too). He hasn't looked good at third though.
Norris showing why I didn't like signing him and why I'd take someone like Chacin over him every day. But having AJP catching doesn't do him any favors anymore does it does for Teheran, etc.

He stung the ball the second time, too.
He gets the barrel to the ball. I've seen enough to know he's not doing with mirrors.
Serious question... Have we even gotten granderson out?
Granderson is making himself at home.
Casey Kelly, come on down!
Freddie Freeman sucks ass.
Freeman continues to be absolutely brutal at the plate.
Garcia looking great every AB tonight. Not chasing anything way outside, hard hit balls each time and two hits again.

Adonis has had 2-3 ugly at bats this year, but other than that, he's had really excellent at bats. Very, very impressive. It's probably not gonna work out for him as a full-time 3B, but he can be an asset for us for the next few years as a part-time player.

That was stupid, send slow Markakis on him? Don't they know who's in CF? Homie has a cannon.
What's the old joke--Markakis finished third in a 50 yard dash against a pregnant woman?
Gawd, Molasses thinks Neck is slow.
On the bright side, AJ could ring up hit #2000 tonight.
