Neck is Neck, man. He's going to do enough to show you that he's a big league hitter with an idea of what he's doing at the plate, and while that has value, he's just that and nothing else. He's a pro with a good head on his shoulders who's smart and proud enough to take what the pitchers give him, but he's far enough into his decline that he's not going to be any more than that. If we had a chance to move him, we probably should have jumped on it.

On the other hand, he can at least impersonate a major-league RF occasionally, which is more than Jeff can do at this point in his career. That dude has no business in RF.

Teheran looked great for those last two batters. 92-93 with good movement for 2 K's. Dialing it up to the "please trade me" fastball.

 

[thewupk]

If we can get a good haul for JT I would do it

Baltimore wanted him. Missed opportunity

 

[UNCBlue012]

It looks like Frenchy (Fredi) may cost us this one. Yay! Good job Julio

 

[Braves1976]

Great game by Teheran, he and Flowers work well together. If Inciarte was in RF tonight this would be either 1-1 or 1-0 Braves.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Both Markakis and Inciarte need to start hitting.

 

[Braves1976]

They asked about him a few times, we just wouldn't listen on him and still won't last I heard. If we do we'll probably overvalue him a la Aybar and and miss our shot completely due to decline.

 

[UNCBlue012]

If it's not windy, Freddie's hit is out

 

[Braves1976]

Both Markakis and Inciarte need to start hitting.

They need to be switched in the line-up.

 

[msstate7]

Inciarte 3-25 (.120) since coming back

 

[jsebe10]

Great game by Teheran, he and Flowers work well together. If Inciarte was in RF tonight this would be either 1-1 or 1-0 Braves.

Or if our 1-2-3 hitters weren't 0-12

 

[msstate7]

Jeez

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Hey look! Another error!

 

[UNCBlue012]

And the team again shows they don't care. That "double" was absolutely unacceptable.

 

[jsebe10]

If Markakis is in left that error doesn't happen huh?

 

[UNCBlue012]

And he just stole third. What a group of idiots. Seriously, they're actually stupid baseball players.

 

[Garmel]

Looks like Cervenka is going to give up his first run.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Now the ump won't give him obvious strike calls
