    I smell a cheap homer coming from Freeman tonight around the Pesky Pole. Oh yeah. Count it.

    I'm kind of feeling that, too. After we're we're down 8-0.

    Man, I miss part of the first and come back to see already losing 2-0.

    This just in: Norris still sucks.

    Good luck against knuckleballers, Chip? 5 of the guys in the lineup were under .240.

    I hate stats like that and batter vs pitcher because they're not really relevant to current day and status but Fredi seems to love them.

    Some fun numbers in the comments to that fangraphs article dogging the Braves offense.

    Our team isoPower is about on par with Ben Revere's career number.

    Our team wrc+ is worse than that of the Cubs' pitching staff.

    Both of those are really impressive. Remember. There was no way the 2015 team could be worse than the 2014 team. #strikeouts Just like 2016 will not be a repeat of 2015.

    This team is awful and you are really seeing the worst a MLB team can be. I get that we are rebuilding but I feel the FO vastly overestimated the amount of actual talent on the MLB club.

    I called that after Coppy's crazy comments about him, of course it was easy to see that he's been in decline if you watched him much last year. I did as I follow Houston and Texas a lot and they of course are in the Angels division.

    There is not much margin for error when you're facing good hitters.
