CJ 2 hits and the Braves win. Nuff said.

If all CJ did was hit left handed pitching he would look great.

CJ raised that bad OPS up to .615 on the year! If his name was Jonny Gomes you'd be bashing him.

Nah I don't concern myself with Gomes. CJ is my dude though!

If he is even 95-96 his curveball will be an out pitch at the major league level. Unless it has changed in the last couple of years but Viz has a really nice 12-6.

It could get fun when Freeman gets back and if Viz is effective. All of a sudden the Braves have some effective arms in the pen.

If Viz keeps up his control (no walks so far in his return) I could certainly see re-visiting the La Stella for Vizcaino and international slot money trade giving it a win for us. La Stella has also been out most of this season for Chicago due to injury and had a set-back in his rehab so he's not close to returning yet. So it's not like they've got anything out of him so far. Viz will have a shot to make an impact for us around July 4th IIRC. And I could still see Viz turning into a very good closer in the future if he stays healthy.

PS: Hopefully Ryan Kelly works out good for us, then once we add Viz if both are effective it would make it easier to deal both JJ and Grilli before the trade deadline. Plus hopefully Moylan and others can help down the line too.
