GDT: 4/7/'15 - Atlanta Braves (Wood) @ Miami Marlins (Latos) 7:35PM EST

[zbhargrove]

Solid start. Latos had nothing. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with all the "so much more fun than the disaster last year!" posts. Don't turn this board into Chip and Joe

The unintelligibles, as Fredi might say.

 

[Prikichi]

Here's a good question. Will we hit a HR or give one up first?

Give up first

 

[cajunrevenge]

Who cares how good Latos was, they still have to hit the ball. Last year's team couldn't hit fastballs down the middle of the plate.

This @braves team was made for Martin Prado! He's a perfect fit for this club. Why was he traded again???

 

[mossy]

People love to talk about our attendance, but the entire upper deck at at Marlins park appears empty. Nobody will notice.

 

[Dalyn]

Bethancourt beats that out if he starts running right away.

 

[thethe]

Its crazy how much Chipper loves Prado.

Lady year maybe, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I love Chipper, but that makes me physically ill.

 

[thethe]

Really? Johnson couldn't beat that out?

Trade his ass.

I think Prado's one of those guys other guys like to have on their team. Just a guy who is always working.

 

[mossy]

Wow. Amazing play.

We didn't think it at the time but the guy we might end up missing most from that deal is Brandon Drury. He's turned himself into a hell of a prospect and sure would look nice at 3B this year

Great play. CJ slower than Harang's metabolism.

The Orioles are having ongoing trade discussions pertaining to relief pitchers Brian Matusz and Ryan Webb, reports Jon Morosi of FOX Sports (on Twitter).

I wonder if the O's might have any interest in Quentin and Jaime? If no one will give us salary relief (A's are signing Cody Ross so they're now out), then maybe just pay the difference and get a reliever back from a team that wants him.

Both would certainly be upgrades for us. Webb probably more likely since he's already been DFA'd and would come cheaper. I'd be a proponent of investing $500k or so of the James Russell slush fund on him. His GB rate is unreal.

 

[Dalyn]

Our outfield looks so shaky.

 

[Braves1976]

Really? Johnson couldn't beat that out?

Trade his ass.

Johnson is slower than some catchers, including our own.

 

[Dalyn]

We better get to see Martin today.

 

[thethe]

I'd take Wood out after six innings today. He seems to be laboring a bit.
