The Braves need to trade Laird for Rob Johnson before this series is over. We're collecting Johnson's and are close to having the whole set.

Shades of Chipper. Much better inning from Paulie.

The Brave fans that complain about Simmons at the plate should watch Kozma a bit. He's one of the worst hitting shortstops among starters.

one play does not make an argument, but someone who is awful at 3B doesn't make that play.
He still is in the lower half of 3B, but he isn't hurting us at 3B. Simmons covers his range issues.

Dana, that's why that inside pitch you've been calling all night isn't a freaking strike.

I disagree. For example, I've seen Young make similar plays at third, but I'd still argue that he's very bad defensively overall.
Agreed. I'd never say he was even average. I just don't think he is the worst defensive player in the history of baseball which is how he is described around these parts.

We're making him throw pitches, but still can't score off of him.

I can't even look down for a second without Gattis swinging at a pitch. At what point is an adjustment going to be made?
I hope its not because he is unwilling to listen. I think he still has a future but he needs to drastically change his approach.
