4/18/15 GDT: Looks like a new starting CF / Peterson getting the LaStella treament

[Prikichi]

AJ has hit 3 homeruns so far this season. He is producing a bit more than Callaspo.

And "fat albert" is currently outproducing Jace. so?

But not by enough of a margin to merit benching Peterson IMO.

Ump has no chance calling this Knuckleball.

Jace is also a much better base runner and defender than Fat Albert

Right up there with the worst umpiring I've ever seen. Very Eric Gregg like.

Markakis hasn't gotten out in this series... Wonder what the record is for consecutive Pas not recording an out. Nick's at 8... don't remember what he did in his last ABs in the last series

Joe: "Alberto VO5"

Chip: "I promise I won't work that in."

 

[Hawk]

Brilliant.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Four double plays

Chip: "I promise I won't work that in."

Leather, rinse, and repeat, pardner!

That DP by Tron was masterful. He has so much composure. That flip was really high but still catches it in stride like it was right at his glove.

If the Braves trade Andrelton Simmons I will end up in prison.
