Opening day! April 4, 2016: Nationals (Scherzer) @ Braves (Teheran)

i guess that's the Pittsburgh rule due to their SS being taken out late in the season last year?

Reuben Tejada.

Chase Utley broke his fibula sliding into second

 

[jsebe10]

So I take Arodys will not be our closer this year?

Gotta maximize Grilli trade value

 

[Braves1976]

Just think, we got Garcia for a minor league deal and gave up a lot for Olivera, esp. in comparison including players traded and contract. Yet they're both the same age and look very comparable as players (both having their pluses and minuses). Garcia may even prove to be the better of the two in the long run as well as so far.

Never know. You know how when a dude takes a piss and tries to fart and a turd starts coming out and sometimes instead of stopping they just go ahead and take a **** while standing there? That's how I think Fredi manages.

Runners slide past 2nd all the time. As long as it's a clean slide, what's the problem?

An overreaction to an injury in the playoffs by a hard nosed baseball move.

 

[Braves1976]

Viz looked nasty on that strikeout, he's 96-99 mph on his fastball so far, averaging 98 mph with a high of 99 mph.

Haha!

Eventually I am sure he will be.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Viz just owned Murphy

 

[Braves1976]

Nice finish by Viz. He looks like our best closer to me.

 

[Orphan Black]

Didn't Fredi say something about not necessarily using the closer in the ninth inning this season?

 

[Julio3000]

That was sicker than the director's cut of the Chip Caray podcast.

 

[USMA76]

For as much as I question Fredi, I'm intrigued by using his best reliever against the toughest batters--even if it's not the ninth. We'll see how it plays out.

 

[Julio3000]

I'm pretty sure he just used the closer, whether he knows it or not.

 

[Dalyn]

[NinersSBChamps]

Frenchy!!!!

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Radio guys said fredi was using viz in 8 or 9. Such ever lineup is harder. He was in 8 to face heart of order

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Nice at bat Frenchy

 

[Julio3000]

Jeffrey draws a walk.
