Galvis SS

Hellickson P

That is a horrendous Philly lineup, but I can't really say Atlanta's is any better.

Joe also just said AJ is in a rut.... is that a season long rut, Joe?

Expecting a yuge game from Adonis Garcia.

I really like Ender.. but he pops out way too much.. someone needs to tell him to do push ups at home plate or something.

Hellickson was literally shaking of fear just now when facing Freddie.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

He needs to start hitting. I love his defense and baserunning but a .230 average with almost zero power is not going to cut it at the plate

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Better be productive and win today with Arrieta and Sale the next two nights.

I believe I read that the Braves will have played in 5 different parks in 7 days... which seems crazy

 

[WaitingFor2017]

AJ squared that one up? It was a little flair that was easily caught by the SS.

He has started hitting. .748 OPS over the last month. He's probably never going to be a much better hitter than that. But with his defense, that's fine.

Starting with this past Saturday until this upcoming Friday we'll have played at Turner Field, Fort Bragg Citizens Bank, Wrigley, and US Cellular. That has to be a record.

That is so cool, that my hair stood up on the inside of my leg causing an infection that will require me to miss both Thursday and Friday of work..

 

[msstate7]

I can't watch today. The results look good for Jenkins. How's he look out there?

 

[mossy]

NICE throw by Frenchy.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

WTF SNIT?

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

What the hell is this Snitker? Completely robbing the kid of a chance for his first major league win.

 

[mossy]

Shades of Fredi.

 

[yeezus]

he seriously took him out?

 

[WaitingFor2017]

I kinda hope the lefty gets a hit, so the decision backfires but I wouldn't want that for Jenkins' ERA

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Lol 1 pitch for that. Please hire outside of the organization.
