5/23/15 Brewers @ Braves

I'll tell you what. Ole Jimmy Johns has truly delivered thus far in the season. I think a good chunk of us were ready to give up on him after his terrible start.

 

[nsacpi]

Jim Johnson has been a great reclamation project.

 

[chop2chip]

Jimmy John's with another good inning. He's been as close to automatic as they come since Toronto.

 

[Braves1976]

Hopefully Johnson will continue to do well where we can trade him for a good return at the deadline. I'd like to move Grilli too as I am afraid he'll decline next year if not this year. So hopefully he'll improve his stock enough to be traded too.

 

[Garmel]

That was some pathetic at-bats by the Braves in that inning.

 

[weso1]

Jimmy Johns is delivering a sinker sandwich right now that is just absolutely delightful.

It wasn't even a terrible start. He had four or five great appearances but he had 3 back to back to back that were atrocious. Since then I don't think he's allowed a run.

He allowed a run in a game vs Philly, but has been much better since then.

Simmons just got Markakis an assist with another bullet throw to first.

Simmons has been tough to watch hit the past two weeks, but man, his defense is every single day. That might have saved the game with Gomez due up.

Simba da gawd

 

[Runnin]

Andrelton picks off another guy after a clean single. My God this guy is some kinda special.

 

[Braves1976]

Simmons showing how he baited the runner and like a fisherman reeled him in.

Yea it certainly helped Grilli get out of a tough spot.

 

[jpx7]

Maybin might've had him without the bobble.

 

[Hawk]

Why Masset here?

 

[jpx7]

I'd have left Masset in, with this game already in extras, but .

 

[chop2chip]

Why Masset here?

Because Kimbrel is San Diego and Walden is in st Louis.

 

[Runnin]

Couldn't Alex Wood be available for an inning or two? He needs to throw.
