You know what the problem with this line-up is
The two biggest GIDP threats are batting consecutively in the line-up. You know who I’m talking about. Actually, your third biggest risk is batting right in front of them most nights, too.
Plus we have an instant out at the top and bottom of the lineup right now

Gotta keep it 2-0 here...
Esco, Heyward and McLouth up next.

it was a fine pitch, but the ump hasn’t been calling it

Jesse still out there… Ross in for Mac.
Chavez looks like Pedro
The birth of Jason Heyward was God’s punishment for the sins of the people in New York and Philly.
I'd vote for him.

2/3 of our game on point.
Just that one part that we need we are lacking. Apparently that’s the one that wins games. Freaking Offense.
I think I have a man crush on the 4H club. Heyward, Heap, Hanson, and Hudson. What a Brave New World.
Wow
Chavez is on.
The birth of Jason Heyward was God’s punishment for the sins of the people in New York and Philly.
Our bullpen is filthyyy

The decision to put Chavez on the roster
is looking really good at this admittedly early stage.

Chavez was just malingering all spring
Setting up every opposing batter. Now he breaks out the Fawesome.
At least
The Cubs cant bring a lefty in to face Heyward/Mclouth/Hinske assuming Yunel or someone gets on base
Na
Marmol will stay in there regardless.

Silver lining to a nonproductive game...
Chavez looks better than what he did two weeks ago in Spring Training.

Ihate that.
We only give up 4 hits, get 8, leave 10 on base, and lose 2-0. That’s just a failure to convert scoring opportunities.

Still win the series.
We just have to get those Giants. At least Heyward got some high pressure situation reps. It’s just the beginning of the season but our bullpen looked really good tonight. The Solos cost us but that’s cool. The bats no show but that happens. Let’s take it out on the Giants tomorrow.
I think I have a man crush on the 4H club. Heyward, Heap, Hanson, and Hudson. What a Brave New World.
We won the series,
and that is a good thing!
Sheridan " Braves look dangerous this season", I agree.
Enjoy tomorrow y'all...
I’ll miss the game as it’s played live. Will catch up later in the evening.
GO BRAVES!!!
