[bravesfanforlife88]

Surprised no one has a thread up yet. Blair gave up a hit in the first but got out of it just fine. Greinke got 2 quick outs

Markakis FR
Garcia LF
Freeman 1B
K.Johnson 2B
AJP C
Brignac 3B
Aybar SS
Blair P
Smith CF

Freddie continued his tear!

[USMA76]

Garcia displaying GG quality defense in LF. smh

[dak]

Aybar's defense has looked a lot better recently. He's bound to have a hot stretch with the bat sooner or later too. Meanwhile, Garcia's routes in LF have not been good.

[UNCBlue012]

Man. Garcia's defense is just so bad.

[USMA76]

Man. Garcia's defense is just so bad.

The word "brutal" comes to mind.

[UNCBlue012]

Great word. I can't wait until we'll have Mallex over there full-time.

[UNCBlue012]

That's just horrible. Poor Blair.

[Enscheff]

Are we done "seeing what we have" with Garcia? Can we agree he is bad and they need upgrades in LF and 3B?

[USMA76]

That run should be charged to Garcia, not Blair.

[Garmel]

That should be an unearned run but it's not.

[Braves1976]

There was a play at second if AJP could hold on to the ball. It's too bad young Blair has to throw to him tonight.

[dak]

Wow, play at the plate and Garcia's attempt to throw home ends up near mound. Feel bad for him. He's gotten his shot, but is just a man without a position.

[UNCBlue012]

Go ahead and ship Garcia off to an AL team.

You'd think a lot of teams in the AL would want him as a DH. Problem is that his stock is so low I wouldn't see us getting much in return

Sadly, he's Gattis - though he could sometimes catch well.

[Russ2dollas]

Prob is neither gattis nor Garcia are better than avg hitters. Only valuable while pre arb

I doubt many clubs are going to line up to trade for a DH with a .700 OPS. Pretty sure they would rather just rotate their position players through the DH slot to give them rest like they all pretty much do now.

There are 3 position players on the roster that have any place on a contending team: freeman, Inciarte and Markakis. Flowers, KJ and Castro are decent bench players. Everyone else need to go. Simple as that.

Sorry, Mallex is probably a decent option for a contender too

[Braves1976]

No one helping Blair so far.

The pickoff failed scores next pitch, lol.

I rather save super two status than watch Blair throw to AJP and get charged runs like this in MLB.
