Giving Dansby a day off, so he doesn't have to face Scherzer's slider.

It's an odd start time
Also, Kelsey is back in action starting at 11:30
Folty needs all the framing help he can get. Perez lacks framing skills. Might turn out to be a "walk-a-ton game from the Braves.
Will Culberson Wally Pipp Swanson?
Here's to hoping that Ozzie and Tucker have good games. They probably won't face a better pitcher all year.
expecting a yuge game from Culberson

Chris Stewart DFA'ed to make room for Luke Jackson on the big club. Jackson is pretty "meh". You'd think there would be a better pen arm to bring up at this time.

8 of 1st 10 pitches out of zone by Folty, BBs to Harper
Very 1st pitch was just off plate inside and Perez wiffed on it. That was just after Chip said Perez was a "very good defensive " catcher.

On a day Folty needs to save the bullpen, he goes out and throws 21 pitches in the 1st inning.
As long as Zimmerman is behind Harper, I would pitch around him every time
Folty gets out of 1st unscathed leaving runners on 2nd/3rd with a K of Turner. 21 pitches, 9 strikes and a WP
