Blair already walks a guy. Jeez dude

 

[Julio3000]

Blair's a little reminiscent of the old Harangutang.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Even his good innings take 20 pitches.

 

[UNCBlue012]

That was maybe the worst pitch I've ever seen from Aaron.

 

[4maddux_cy's]

What a terrible route Nick took on that Bruce hit. Should have been a double.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Jesus Blair. This is embarrassing.

 

[4maddux_cy's]

Not thinking Blair is going to start Saturday.

Wow. Blair needs to be in AAA trying to iron this crap out. He's bad right now.

Wow. Blair needs to be in AAA trying to iron this crap out. He's bad right now.

Just trying to be perfect. Nibbles. Even when he is up 0-2 he can't put anyone away. He needs AAA for the rest of the first half.

 

[UNCBlue012]

It's in his head. This is horrible.

Not thinking Blair is going to start Saturday.

This needs to be the end of the line. For the sake of his development, he needs a reset at AAA. He hasn't been right for over a month.

 

[4maddux_cy's]

He should not have been recalled in the first place. Does no good for his confidence to keep yo-yoing him back and forth.

In a lost year they had no business bringing the kid back up after he was sent down the first time.

 

[4maddux_cy's]

Really liking this top of the order with Mallex and Ender. Mallex starting to adjust to the majors.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Will FF at least make a productive out.

 

[4maddux_cy's]

Nick is the latest version of Reggie Sanders for me. Can't stand watching him play.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Markakis is so horrible. It sucks because I really like the guy, but he's been embarrassing.

Completely different situation.
