Test Ender for roids. He's already matched his home run total from last season.

First hit AND first home run at Suntrust Park.

BOOM

Sing that song, boy!!

Really glad Timothy Miller is still doing the 7th inning stretch for us. He has a set of pipes on him, and he's an Atlanta treasure.

BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN!

 

[Chewbaccer]

And we're ahead of the Phillies in the NL East standings now.

BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN! BRAVES WIN!

And Inciarte makes the last out lol.

Good looking win for our first ever game in the new ballpark. Julio looked good.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Bullpen has looked skrong the last couple of games too.

 

[gobigred]

Glad Julio finally got the win after great outtings before and getting no decision

Very skrong.

He struggled through this one. He earned it.

Has two brilliant outings and has nothing to show for it. Has a very shaky outing tonight and gets the W. Baseball is a funny game.

I never would have guessed that blonde's name was Julio.

And FWIW, we're 3 games better than we were at this point last season.

I'm not gonna be confident in any of Dickey's starts, but hopefully our offense can stay hot. We've scored 4 or more runs in 6 straight games now, scoring 5 in 3 of them.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And that is why I don't like the Dickey signing.

Back to back homers.

Tie game. Dansby and Markakis each with RBI single

I was at the home opener last night, a few of my observations:

- Parking was better, although I had to walk a little further compared to the Ted. But that's fine, I don't mind the walk
- Absolutely no traffic
- Monument garden was cool
- STP is a very close up, intimate ballpark
- STP feels like its going to be a hitters park, winds were blowing out much of the night
- Can't wait to explore more of the stadium
- Lighting is way better
- The waterfall feature is cool, but really hard to see

And to top it off, I got to meet Tom Glavine and Dale Murphy. And the Bravos won. Great game, great atmosphere. The Legends thing was cool to see as well

That Garcia HR was a shot! Opposite field over a 16' wall

 

[Chewbaccer]

THAT was an amazing double play.
