Is there anything more pitiful than actually hearing 3 fans distinctly participating in the Chop? Doesn’t quite have the same feeling to it as when 45,000 people are doing together.
Reminds me of those 3 guys in the OF bleachers on Major League doing the 2-man “wave”.

Chris from the Rock — I’m hoping Vizciano was only scheduled to pitch one inning as part of his rehab. The fear, of course, is that he had a set back.

Both pitchers with fairly high pitch counts for 4 innings: Niese at 66, Minor at 71.
That could be a good thing for us……..

David Wright is now 3-for-45 vs. Braves this season. He has as many errors (3) as hits or RBI in his 13 games vs. ATL.

stall for time, and get someone else into the game. The kid has tired out. Has thrown a lot of pitches.

I take it you didn’t see the bullpen warming up after the second walk. They can’t just pull a guy in there cold you know.

Why can’t our starting pitchers not throw strikes all of a sudden???? Lowe couldn’t throw strikes the other day. JJ was having trouble throwing strikes. And now Minor is having trouble throwing strikes. It’s like we are walking everyone all of a sudden. Come on, guys. Tighten it up!!

Sucks the way that inning went down for Minor, but all in all you can’t really complain about a 5 inning 2 run outing. Well you could, but you shouldn’t.
