Arodys Vizcaino has been shut down in Myrtle Beach with elbow soreness but Kurt Kemp tells me doctors are saying he doesn’t need surgery, that he’ll start a rehab program in Orlando

DOWN ON THE FARM:
DSL-BRAVES drop one 4-1 to the ANGELS but retain lead in their division. SS RON LUNA has a multi-hiy game (2-4) and ups his BA slightly (.386). He’s having a good campaign so far.
GCL-BRAVES lose to the PHILLIES 6-12, and drop into second in the Gulf Coast North division. SS MATT LIPKA has a 1-3 outing, 2 BB, a double, and 2 RBI.
This game was pitched by committee. Five BRAVES hurlers take the mound starting with ZEKE SPRUILL who goes 1.0 IP and gives up 1 H, otherwise zeros. two others perform equally well, but layered between the three, two perform not so well. ERNESTO SILVA (0-1) pitching next takes the loss by having a horror show of an evening surrendering 11 H, 10 R, and a BB while striking out one and ending the evenings work with a 43.20 ERA (1.1 IP). Cumulative ERA at 15.43.
Clean-up hitter and 23rd round pick DH EVAN GATTIS fattens his BA considerably last game going 4-4 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI climbing to .455 in 22 AB’s. Its early, but several draftees are bolting from the gate in the rush to stardom. 6th rounder 3B JOE TERDOSLAVICH is 3-6 with 3 RBI and a run scored on the evening raising his BA to .323 (31 AB – 10 H). 4 others have two hit games, but it’s too early to get very excited about their prospects at this point.
10th rounder MATT LEWIS (2.08) pitches 3.0 innings of four hit, one run ball.
ROME pitching surrenders four, GREENSBORO three, and the R-BRAVES go down in flames. BRETT DeVALL starts, goes 5.0 IP with 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, and 7 SO, good enough to win, but STEVE FIGUEROA (2.0 IP) comes on in middle relief, gives up one and takes the collar dropping his record to 0-2. WILTON ESTAVEZ comes on throwing blanks, but the bugs are out of the jar, and the BRAVES hitters disappear in the brush rather than round up the Grasshoppers.
RIAAN SPANJER-FURSTENBURG has the only two hit game, half of the R-BRAVES offense actually, going 2-3 with a walk and raising his BA to .317.

Let’s get behind JAIR tonight team. He needs your support, and we must win this series. We can’t let ZIMMERMAN, WILLINGHAM, and GUZMAN come into our house and best our BRAVES. I’ve got to listen to DRIBBLE gloating if they do. DAMM, I hate that. So let’s go BRAVES.

There is just something wrong with a guy telling the fans to, basically, go _ _ _ _ themselves and being rewarded with a 199 million dollar contract. Gonna be hard to pull for Joe J. and the Hawks.

Glad JJ is back. His performance tonight could be just about anything. If he struggles. I’m sure the blog will be level-headed about it though. Nothing to worry about there.
Tonight’s pitcher for the Nats is a strike-thrower. He’s been dodging bullets apparently this season, but his defense hasn’t helped him so mich (8 unearned runs in 5 starts). I think his 3.03 ERA is misleading to be honest. We’ll see how it all plays out.
I think a good first inning for Jair is key. Go Braves.

Yeah, i’m not for the Hawks going all out for Joe Johnson in that way. They let the coach go but its just as much on those players not getting the job done in that series vs Orlando. To much money for a guy of his stature i’m afraid.

Bob Carpenter called that an easy play for Chipper. If Zimmerman had made that play, they would have said the phrase “gold glover” about 17 times. Funny.

I actually really like it. I’ve gotten used to being able to tell if the pitch is over the plate or not and whenever they use that other angle on PTV or other networks, it sort of annoys me.

Love to see the leadoff double from Prado. Honest question, not a rip on Bobby or anyone. With Melky hitting in the 2 spot, dont you bunt Prado to 3rd? Or, because its early and they are at home, they are going to swing away? Or something else entirely?

and they weren’t even tough pitches to bunt. Not a good at bat there for Melky at all. Maybe Chipper and Mac can pick him up.

Sorry Roman Gal, thanks for the update. Figured that reading the other posts. Have my son (just turned 3) and was helping him wash his hands for dinner and turned around to see the end of Melky’s at bat, just wondered why he was not bunting. Now I know.
