4/26/15 MLB GAME THREAD: Markakis still the MAN leading off

[keithlaw]

You had to think someone with that great hand eye coordination would put it together at some point.

Man if he can put up a 290/340/440 line he's a legit MVP candidate

The Braves are pounding the ball today. Really hard to believe we only have 3 runs.

 

[Tapate50]

Those were some nice breaking balls to Fredi Galvis until Galvis went down and got that one

He's got the stuff. If he could get his head right, he could be awesome. COULD.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Then that happens. Come on man, it's the Phillies. They're god-awful.

Those last two hits were just examples of great hitting , not that Cahill was pitching that poorly

Sadly, so are we.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I'm happy to see Freddie doing work today, though.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Great damage control. Way better than the last outing.

His defensive WAR is too high to be a MVP candidate

I thought about who we've played this year and realized we haven't faced one legit good pitcher yet...

 

[thethe]

Everything is on the ground with Cahil. He is going to be a really good pitcher. This is basically still Spring Training for him.

Yeah, the offense is going to struggle against good pitching. There just aren't many good hitters in the lineup.

 

[nsacpi]

Cahill has been impressive since the first inning.

lol

This team is designed to feast on good pitchers.

 

[thethe]

Why are we pinch hitting here? We need innings out of the starting pitcher. Stop that crap Freddi.

 

[thethe]

lol

Just remember this. Cahil will be solid middle of the rotation starter at the very least. His control is just erratic right now but he is still generating a ton of ground balls.

Okay. What about Cahill?

I think it's the right play to PH here, I just wish it wasn't Gosselin. We're trailing in the 7th. It's customary to PH to lead off the inning in that spot.
