I guess Heyward has "proven" he can't hit Bumgarner. I'd like to grab Doumit and move him to LF however. Doumit in that gigantic RF is going to cost us.

I know it sounds completely counter-intuitive given the teams current 2B situation, but I can't help but wonder if the Braves are showcasing Pastornicky.

Fredi on Doumit in RF: "I wanna see what he's got. My baseball prospectus said he is a horrible defender all the way around, I don't believe that, he has to be good at something. Maybe it's RF?"

 

[stpeteirish]

that's the way to start a game. Been a long time since we scored in the first inning.

Ya why not put JUP in RF? Especially considering he's played it many times before with the dbacks.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Crooked numbas!

 

[UNCBlue012]

Who would of thought that the team would hit a little more once the lineup was constructed more logically? Man. Good start boys!

 

[tomahawkchop10]

Man I turn the game on 5 mins late and I've already missed more runs than I saw the first whole week of may!! Lol

 

[UNCBlue012]

Upton took the K there, but his eye has been so much better. He's working 3-2 counts at least two times a game now it seems.

 

[thethe]

Need to play Pastor everyday.

 

[USMA76]

I'm not defending BJ as he's brought a lot of his troubles on himself but there have been at least three times in the past two games when he's been called out on third strike pitches that appeared to be distinctly outside.

 

[cajunrevenge]

I know Blanco wasn't liked much on scout but I wish we kept him. Good 4th outfielder.

 

[UNCBlue012]

2-2. Wow Julio. I did not see that coming at all.

 

[tomahawkchop10]

That walk really sucks now =/

 

[tomahawkchop10]

I agree with Chip and Joe, that high FB call has been KILLING us this year.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Julio is not locating at all right now, he's throwing them some crap. Good thing it's early; he'll be fine.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I agree with Chip and Joe, that high FB call has been KILLING us this year.

I understand what we are trying to do with it, but we haven't been successfully doing much of anything. lol

 

[UNCBlue012]

And he walks a very impatient hitter in Morse. Man, he needs to settle himself down.

 

[USMA76]

Over 20 pitches in the first inning, two runners on base and still only one out...ouch. Need a double play ball here.
