Wish Hulavol was here so I could chat with him about Gattis playing a day game after a night game. This is the second time now.

Expecting an enormous game off the bench from Dan Uggla.

 

[yeezus]

It's the 11th.

Is this lineup correct? I'm seeing Gattis catching today...these are the usual days he runs Laird titts out there and wastes everyone's day at the ball park.

The choice was between Gattis getting today off or tomorrow off. I think the decision to play him today had a bit to do with Justin Upton being held out. Hopefully, tomorrow Justin comes back and Evan gets his day off.

Pastor in over Pena. Neither Pena or Dan can bunt worth a damn...

If Laird should ever catch, it should be when Harang pitches. (4.56 ERA vs 0.96)

 

[Hawk]

Damn, Mark Bowman ...

Someone must've made a joke about food.

Mark Bowman obviously enjoys a good, meaty Cuban.

We are here at the Ted. My whole family is here as my army ranger brother is the hometown hero. Goooo Braves.

That's awesome. Enjoy the game.

 

[Julio3000]

That's a Harang DP, right there.

 

[UNCBlue012]

GO BRAVES! Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there!

 

[stpeteirish]

our inability to lay off of fastballs out of the zone continues. You would think this would be addressed by now. Thats about the only way a guy like Jackson can beat anyone, with hitters faling away at bad pitches because he throws a lot of them.

 

[Julio3000]

We'll get this guy.

 

[nsacpi]

Nice throw by Gattis...bad knees and all

 

[Julio3000]

Now THAT was a prototypical Lord BABIP shot.
