good job by Frenchy to get the runners in without trying to pull. I think he might really be a changed batter, 5-2

Where N8 at? Great, great AB by Frenchy. Took 2 pitches, missed on a fat change up in the zone, then went with the pitch for a single.

The other thing that’s good about this is that judging from the MLB gametracker the ump is giving Blanton a LOT of pitches off the plate.
Rob from SC

got to get Schafer going, nothing hit hard since his 2nd at bat in game 1
MiamiBrave

good AB schafe…even though its an out
after going 0-2 to 3-2 shows good plate discipline

I saw Blanton this spring. He looked great. Good thing he doesn’t have it today. He’s letting a rookie (Schafer) effect his tempo.
Rob from SC

I would DFA Anderson, and go with Brandon Jones and mostly Matt Diaz.

schafer just missed a double to right 3-2 pitch to schafer, schafer’s
bounce to utley on to howard. a 5 run inning how bout them braves without chip and g anderson

At-bat resulted in an out…but much better than the first time today for Schafer.

nice work there by the Braves, especially Frenchy & Diaz. Glad to see the first of the Francoeur boot lickers was able to comment, Smyrna Jim. Hope your little Franceour Apologist buddies William and James come on later to get on their knees to their hero.
