*OPENING DAY* 4/6/'15: Atlanta Braves (Teheran) @ Miami Marlins

[Dalyn]

No strikeouts.

 

[Russ2dollas]

Have to do a better job at splitting up the lefties. Just not sure how it can be done. Sadly, Freeman/Markakis/Peterson are the three best hitters on the team.

chris mother f'n johnson!!!!

 

[TURBO]

We are Dunn.

 

[jsebe10]

We are Dunn.

Son of a Dunn

Again, you had two righties on the bench. If Fredi is going to be committed to jumbling things around, he needs to remain fully committed late in games.

Who are you going to pinch hit for there?

 

[jpx7]

And be flipped for a good long term asset at the deadline.

I'm hoping about half the Braves' bullpen produces well enough to see this be the end-game—not just Johnson and Grilli, but someone like Avilan who should cost legitimate dollars come 2017.

I think that was an opportunity for Chris Johnson to lead off the inning and get on base. Even if I'd hate to take Jace out. That crap right there was hopeless. It's Mike Dunn, not Billy Wagner in his prime.

 

[Julio3000]

CJ for Jace, then move Callaspo to 2B and keep Johnson in at 3rd. Then you've got crappier defense. So, nevermind.

Without CK, I'd rather risk it and try my best to get an insurance run.

I just can't see a situation where it makes sense to PH there. I think the Braves are just effed right now against left handed specialists.

 

[Dalyn]

You definitely hit Johnson there, for sure.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

LOL at Dee Gordon!

Basically everyone but Julio/Freeman/Simmons(for now) is on the market in the right deal I think right now.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Lulz. Dee Gordon is destined to be an Atlanta Brave.

 

[Braves1976]

Gordon has fallen and cannot get up! Great bunt though.

 

[thethe]

If this sets up for a closing situation and Grilli blows it that would just be too perfect.

 

[Dalyn]

Or even Gomes. That's why they are on the team.

 

[FreemanFan]

It's nap time for Gordon.

AND YOU HAVE A GUY THAT SHREDS THEM ON THE BENCH.

It makes every bit of sense in the world, Fredi.
