[WaitingFor2017]

I would've had Recker start tonight with Teheran for two reasons:

1. To give Newcomb all of the offensive help he can get vs. Kershaw

2. To better frame Newcomb vs. the lefty-loving Dodgers

Instead, it looks like the kid Newcomb will get Recker tomorrow unless Flowers decides he can go in a day game after a night game.

expecting a yuge game from Markakis

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Dodgers are trying to one-up Atlanta tonight. Atlanta had Zack Morris at one of their games last month. The Dodgers have AC Slater at their game tonight.

 

[Heyward]

Strikes in RH batters box now?

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Yeah....Tyler Flowers isn't going to last all 9 innings tonight.

 

[USMA76]

Can't wait to see if JT gets the same strike calls as Hill did in the top of the first. That said, he made Camargo and Freeman look silly with strike three swings that missed by a couple of feet.

 

[nsacpi]

hope Julion uses the change against some of the lefty hitters

 

[USMA76]

Somebody tell Julio he's not pitching at SunTrust tonight.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Teheran is so frustrating.

 

[Heyward]

Julio never pitches well in LA, smh

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Did Chip just basically state that the Dodgers are 66-0 when they lead in a game?

 

[USMA76]

So Forsythe gets a fourth strike in this at bat. Sheesh.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Did Chip just basically state that the Dodgers are 66-0 when they lead in a game?

In Chip fashion, he was wrong.

The Dodgers are 60-6 when they have a lead in a game.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Swanson going to stop striking out in big situations or nah? It's legit starting to piss me off

 

[USMA76]

Swanson going to stop striking out in big situations or nah? It's legit starting to piss me off

He's pretty much just Pedro Cerrano minus the power.

 

[thethe]

Swanson has been dreadful this year.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

He's pretty much just Pedro Cerrano minus the power.

 

[thethe]

All camargo has done so far is hit and play plus plus defense.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

All camargo has done so far is hit and play plus plus defense.

So basically what Swanson was expected to do?

Swanson a swing looks so slow right now
