5/15/15 Braves @ Marlins

[nsacpi]

That's a really nice defensive lineup we have out there tonight.

 

[USMA76]

Peterson's getting worn out as a leadoff hitter...gotta give him some time in that role, I guess.

 

[Garmel]

Jace just looks confused at the plate.

 

[Julio3000]

That's a really nice defensive lineup we have out there tonight.

I about did a double-take when Cunningham ran down that ball in the gap in the 1st.

 

[USMA76]

Like Kelly Johnson, Martin Prado is a guy I wish we'd have kept as a Braves lifer.

 

[Garmel]

I think Gosselin is going to play third base again tomorrow.

 

[Braves1976]

He seems to be pitching our lefty hitters a lot tougher than our righties so far. He's nailing that inside corner on Jace Peterson and Freeman, esp. against Jace.

 

[Garmel]

We have squandered a lot of scoring chances in this game.

We have squandered a lot of scoring chances in this game.

Probably'd be 5-2 if this team could play small-ball.

Yeah, I'd like to see Cunningham get a look in CF. I suspect he'd perform better than Maybin.

 

[USMA76]

JT's pitch count is high (again) so no chance of him seeing the 7th inning and he may be lucky to get through the sixth.

Agreed. Maybin makes me hold my breath on balls hit to CF much like I held my breath every time a ball was hit to Jeff Blauser.

He isn't laboring. I'd try to get 115 pitches or so out of him.

 

[USMA76]

Maybe. He's got the bottom of the Marlins order in the bottom of the sixth so if can get through that on a low number of pitches...

 

[Runnin]

That was classic!

 

[Russ2dollas]

loved prado, but IMO we maximized him as an asset. Very good player for us and cheap. As soon as he was about to get expensive he was the major piece getting JUp.....that is what we all want from an organization.

EY needs to go. Cunningham may never do anything else for the braves but if he can SSS Young out, then that probably helps the organization.

 

[USMA76]

Good pitch. Don't know what Maybin was complaining about.

Bethancourt's updated slash line: 155 / 183 / 224.

 

[nsacpi]

Teheran's fastball showed good life tonight. A little surprised Fredi is taking him out now.

 

[USMA76]

Bethancourt's updated slash line: 155 / 183 / 224.

He's obviously overmatched offensively at this level but, no surprise, that was the biggest question mark he had as he came up through our system.
