This game is so big to the Braves. Especially when you have the lead to begin the game. They have to come back and get the win. Need a big hit from Yunel Escobar.

There’s a hit from Escobar. Braves73, I also like Gonzalez as a manager. I wonder if he’ll get consideration when Bobby Cox retires. I also give a large ammount of credit to the Marlins front office. They have turned over their roster any number of times and they always compete.

When Kelly was benched when Prado was made the starter, his average had fallen to .214. Since Kelly’s return from the DL, his average is up to .217.
That early hot streak has turned cold lately.

Want evidence that Atlanta needs a little speed? Three singles in a row and no run. That just kills me. A lot of teams get three hits in a row and they at least get one run. Atlanta does need more power but they have also got to get quicker.

Oh boy. Now we have Gorecki and probably Norton if BC has enough sense to take Lowe out which I doubt. Actually we may be better off if he keeps Lowe in just so Norton stays on the pines.

Dr. K, Gorecki has more home runs than Brandon Jones, is hitting eighty points higher than Gregor Blank-O and Jordan Schafer didn’t hit when he was up earlier this season and has been suffering from injured wrists.
