Jackson looks good when it doesn’t matter
I believe the cliche is "low leverage situation."

Ouch Kurt
Bad game to try to form an opinion on Allard. I don't expect another game to go particularly well, but I hope he gets a couple more chances.
Why?
I had to work in Alabama today, so Suntrust was on my way to go back to NC tomorrow. Thought I'd get to see Allard's debut. All I have seen is traffic, rain and lightning. Staying within walking distance of the park. Had I known for sure that the weather would be like this instead of what was forecast, I'd have gone home through Tennessee to avoid the ATL traffic. (At least 75 miles further, but no longer, time-wise because of the traffic).
Because he's a Braves prospect, because he was a first round pick, because he may actually recover from the back injury one day, because there may be a mechanical flaw that can be fixed, because he's gotten good results everywhere he has been, because its harsh to judge a guys career over on one game in the rain that probably should have been cancelled, because I just generally root for young players to make it.
I met a guy who works for AmericasMart (the company mine just merged with) and he offered me free tickets to Braves and Bulldogs’ games every time I’m in Atlanta for work. I still haven’t been to SunTrust Park and I am so stoked about this!!
Anyone else think the Braves threw those platoon reports out there just to light a fire under Ender?
