Swanson might be struggling at the plate, but that boy can pick it at short. Great play.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

And that's how you hustle, Mr. Phillips. Watch Ol Nick get around those bases!

"Might be" my ass. Dude can't get on base to save his life.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Keep pickin on Braun in left field.

Took advantage of his noodle arm all night last night, and a competent outfielder probably catches both RBI hits tonight.

He'll turn it around. He's the shortstop, so as long as he's defending at an elite level, I can live with it until he starts putting some hits together. He hit very well aster he was called up last season, and there's no reason to believe he won't find his stroke again this season.

You're too negative, dude.

We had 28 losses before we ever got to 9 wins last season.

And that's when Fredi Gonzalez got fired.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Nice to see us taking advantage of mistakes by the other team for a change.

Pickoff attempt at second thrown into center field and then a wild pitch for a gift run. And thanks to the Brewers and their retarded shift, Freeman gets a gift single, and Kemp sends one over the right field wall for a two run shot.

Keep shifting on Freeman, He's 3-3 tonight with all 3 hits to the left side of the diamond.

 

[Chewbaccer]

God damn, Garcia just hits a damn wall in every start. Extremely fortunate to only give up one run that inning, and it was a wild pitch that brought it in.

I just don't sugar coat shit.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I just don't sugar coat shit.

I know, I'm just pleased with the team's progress and sometimes it irks me when others don't see it.

And Swanson just got a hit BTW.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Now this guy ... I'm a fan of .. Inciarte on base again.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

And Kemp.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

And Freeman and Markakis.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And Freeman and Markakis.

Hard not to be pleased with the offense as a whole.

I'm not too high on our starting pitching. Love Teheran, and really like Folty(though he's the definition of feast or famine. He can be dominant when he's on, but get shelled when he's off).

And I'll feel a lot better about our bullpen when Mauricio Cabrera gets back.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Garcia somehow gets through 6 only allowing two(he walked one in, and threw a wild pitch that got the other in). He's very fortunate the Brewers bats couldn't do anything with runners on. 4 walks, wild all night, but in the end, I guess it was effective.

 

[gobigred]

Kemp killing it tonight. Just hit 2nd Homerun


6-2 Braves

 

[Chewbaccer]
