[bravesnumberone]

Great start.

 

[Julio3000]

Good rip to RC by Tron before the HR. AJ also smoked the ball.

 

[Dalyn]

Heh. I bet a lot of money on Freeman hitting a HR in the first.

 

[Garmel]

Miller's dealing.

 

[Braves1976]

Miller's dealing.

When Miller is on he often starts off great through three or four innings, it's the 5th, 6th and later that he has issues usually.

 

[chop2chip]

Simmons is almost a guaranteed DP.

I'm not sure he's our best bet for the two-hole. I'm also not so sure we have a best bet for the two hole.

 

[Dalyn]

Miller's dealing.

Looks like Grilli is ready for the ninth.

Some good things happening for GWI tonight. Peraza 3-3 with a 3B and 2 SB. Wisler through 4 scoreless with 5 Ks.

 

[Braves1976]

Simmons is almost a guaranteed DP.

I'm not sure he's our best bet for the two-hole. I'm also not so sure we have a best bet for the two hole.

Simmons is taking CJ's DP machine title, but CJ says just wait till I am back!

He leads the league in DP's

Miller through 4 with 31 pitches. Wow.

Yea, I am watching that game on MILB.tv right now. Good to see Wisler doing better so far tonight, still a lot of pitches though including a lot of 2-2 and 3-2 counts.

I know the Peraza arbitration clock crowd disagrees on principle, but Markakis/Peraza/Freeman seems like an improvement.

I think Nick will bat two when Peraza comes up later in the year.

 

[Dalyn]

Miller through 4 with 31 pitches. Wow.

It's like he's facing Heyward up there every at-bat.

 

[Dalyn]

I think Nick will bat two when Peraza comes up later in the year.

Peraza probably has more power.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Freaking love Miller.

 

[Braves1976]

The original DP champion/DP machine Chris Johnson is proud of him.
