    I'm surprised they're pulling Rodriguez here, given how effective he's looked the past few innings.

    Swanson's bad against non LHP and then after that you have the 4th time through.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    The ABs tonight compared to Philly were much better but...1-7 with RISP.

    I'm getting pretty tired of our announcers saying how great our RISP is when it seems like we've wasted a month's worth of those opportunities.

    Wow. Swanson is terrible. I guess that’s not really news because he has pretty much been bad with the bat his whole career.

    Yea, he's had solid PAs so far tonight, but that last one was not.

    Don't get me wrong, if Dansby can't at least be like Crawford, shortstop is extremely concerning if you don't think Albies can play the position.

    Ehhh, extremely concerning is probably extremely extreme. He's picking with the best of them defensively.

    It would be useful to have another infielder. Moose or Beltre.

    Makes you wonder if Swanson's wrist is well or not.

    I think his defense has been good enough that the Braves can afford to be a little more patient with the bat. Especially since—while I'm glad that Camargo is getting a shot at 3B—I personally don't think he's a viable long-term option at SS.

    Phillies coming back from five run deficit. May well be in second place at the end of the evening.

    Let's be honest, if Ronald and Dansby aren't going to play to their potential this offense isn't going to be good.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Could be the case. I'm a huge Swanson guy, but I really think last Friday would've been better served facing live pitching in AAA than serving hot dogs at suntrust
