They finally moved Maybin up in the order. Good for Fredi.

LOVE seeing that much speed in front of Freddie - I'd personally flip-flop Markakis and Gomes and Simmons and Callaspo, but still more than happy enough to see a good chance to manufacture a run without a hit early.

 

[MadduxFanII]

How much more rope does Callaspo get? A .211/.300/.263 line coming off a 66 OPS+ season doesn't inspire confidence. Is he gone when C. Johnson gets back?

With any luck.

 

[CyYoung31]

Chrystal Beth sighting.

 

[The Tariff King]

Hopefully the Braves mentally have convinced themselves we're playing the Fish again with Sardinas on the mound.

had our only RBI hit last night.

 

[cajunrevenge]

This is a series we need to win 3 or 4. Upcoming Dogers/Giants series will be tough.

 

[Garmel]

Julio was really good with his location that inning. I haven't seen that from him in awhile.

 

[chop2chip]

Glad to see 2014 Julio is back. At least for that inning anyway.

 

[Dalyn]

Can't believe what we're getting out of Maybin. He looks good.

 

[Dalyn]

Offensively, that is. He hasn't looked that great on defense.

And the baserunning as well. Looks awesome. Could be the long term CF.

Like him as a 4th OF a LOT. Some pop, speed, and some D.

 

[thethe]

Love me some Markakis.

Yeah, at the very least. You could live with him at hte corners as well since he produces at the plate.

 

[Dalyn]

Not sure how much longer Gomes should stick around.

 

[Garmel]

Moving Maybin to the 2nd slot has already paid dividends.

 

[chop2chip]

Not sure how much longer Gomes should stick around.

We haven't faced many lefty starters so it skews Gomes performance because Fredi has had to throw him in some games against righties. He has an OPS of 1.118 against lefties this year.
