Where's Adonis, dammit?

 

[Julio3000]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind him taking a turn at 2B or LF vs the lefty.

 

[Braves1976]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind him taking a turn at 2B or LF vs the lefty.

Garcia has the best numbers vs lefties on the team and I don't think it's close. So I don't see how you can leave him out tonight. Well, unless you just care not about wins and losses that is.

Note, while I do not care about winning now and would rather lose for the better pick I'd still put out the best line-up. I mean you have to respect the game that way or shouldn't be involved, IMO.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Now taking bets on who leaves the game with injury first, Olivera or Banuelos.

 

[msstate7]

Gosselin today for dbacks...

2-3, 2 bb, hr, 2b, 4 rbi, cs

Started at 2b

 

[DaneHill]

Chris Johnson would have picked that.

 

[msstate7]

Banuelos looks like he'll fit right in

 

[Braves1976]

Swisher over Garcia for LF tonight starting off well, lol.

 

[Julio3000]

Ugh. DP kills the rally.

 

[Braves1976]

Chris Johnson would have picked that.

CJ says he couldn't hit into that DP better than Swisher did there.

 

[Garmel]

Chris Johnson would have picked that.

Olivera looked like a statue on that play.

 

[Braves1976]

Olivera looked like a statue on that play.

Yep, slow reaction time. I noted similar in the minors, hope it's just rust that comes off soon or we be screwed. Uribe and Garcia both make a play on that ball and Garcia isn't noted for his defense.

 

[CyYoung31]

I wonder how Olivera feels about a Castro playing next to him. Think he's looking for a raft?

 

[Braves1976]

Jace showed some good reaction time there, but he had to or else "Off with your head!"

 

[jsebe10]

Dam he's a big boy

 

[Julio3000]

Olivera gets a standing O from dozens of fans.

 

[CyYoung31]

Alex Wood could've hit the ball harder than that.

 

[Julio3000]

Alex Wood could've hit the ball harder than that.

But he would probably get a UCL tear doing it. Ticking time bomb.

 

[msstate7]

I don't think it would be a bad thing to sit jace vs lhp

 

[weso1]

Olivera can't making a diving play and can't get the ball out of the infield. Fellas... We're in trouble.
