Gotta love starting a GDT when we're already down 2-0
 
Chacin pitched better in that first than his line, Freeman error led to second run and first hit came on a good pitch. He really has a good mix of pitches, velo on his 4-seam has topped out at 91 mph, but his 88-90 sinker, slider, change, curve and has a cutter now that has helped him since losing velocity due to his shoulder issue. It seems along with getting healthy adding a good cutter has been key in his getting back to where he is now.

Garcia good AB again too last inning. Stubbs has some pitches to hit but took them, bad AB.
 
Matz is wearing out the inside corner to righties...and Markakis takes one off the hand that looks VERY painful. Welcome to 2016, Braves fans.
 
I am still wondering why Castro didn't score on Freeman's double, I know he was on first but it took a while to get to that ball. They sent slow Markakis last night when they shouldn't but I thought Castro could score tonight and he's held.
 
I have reason to believe Bowman is on to something. Did a quick search myself, and it looks like a couple of Blair's peeps have spilled the beans on Twitter about traveling to Atlanta tomorrow for his debut.

I think it's only the big Folty fans still holding out that it might be Folty the last few days.
