Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

June 28th: Good News

Yes, this one was harder than most.  But it still pays to look at the good news:

-Francouer really went 3/6- he had a scorcher in the 11th  inning off of A-Rod's glove that was erroneously ruled an error.  He hit the ball very well all game and didn't strike out.  He's catching on fire- watch out for him this next serious with the troubled Orioles pitching staff.
-Chipper went 3/6 and appears to have recovered from his slump, going 7/14 on the series.  His average is back up to .288.
-McCann continues his good work, going 2/5 with an RBI.  It's really starting to look like he will keep up the .350 average all season.  Batting title, anyone?  If he can get enough at bats, at least.
-Smoltz was lights out, going 7 IP with 1 ER, 5K and only 2BB.
-Villarreal continues his good work out of the 'pen, pitching 2 hitless innings.  He appears to be settling in to the long/middle relief role, which suits him much better than as a situational reliever.

Nice work
Francoeur also had a sharply hit ball in the 12th that Jeter snagged.
Chipper is starting to come around.
McCann was about 50 at-bats behind when I checked a few days ago, I'm guessing end of July he'll pop up on the leaderboard.
Smoltz would have a 10-5 record this year, if not for the bullpen.
Like I've said before, Villarreal is one of those guys the Braves are real high on.
