Braves are averaging almost a run a game IN THE FIRST INNING.

 

[1phlapdown]

2B and two groundouts scores 1, and 2 more hits=Blach not fooling 'em.

 

[1phlapdown]

Hanson

 

[1phlapdown]

B McCarthy not fooling anyone...

 

[calsnowskier]

Hanson

He seems to have a head, but he certainly has a lot of talent to go along with it.

Will his boneheadedness overshadow his talent? Well, seeing as we picked him up as a minor league free agent at the age of 27, it looks like both the Bucs and White Sox think it will...

 

[calsnowskier]

Didn’t make a difference after Longo’s hit, but why didn’t Posey make a move home during Belt’s pickle?

 

[calsnowskier]

Dayum.

Looks like Hanson is taking advantage of this opportunity.

Hanson

Gotta run but just wanted to say OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT

 

[calsnowskier]

That was a mean hop...

Overrunning balls, getting picked off, missing signs?

Overrunning balls, getting picked off, missing signs?

That’s what it looks like to me, at least. And again, seeing as we got him as a minor league free agent, teams weren’t exactly kicking in his door to get access to his talent. There has to be a reason for that.

But if he can get the mental aspect of the game under wraps, he could have a nice long career.

 

[calsnowskier]

That infield looks muddy as hell.

 

[calsnowskier]

Wtf was that?

 

[calsnowskier]

The sheriff of Megaton is in the game...

 

[1phlapdown]

58 pitches after 4: nice.

edit only position player without a hit is Blanco.

 

[calsnowskier]

This offense needs some serious help. Where is Williamson?

 

[Stokes1931]

7-11 with RISP
