Looks like the Braves finally found all the pods and re-replaced the pod-people with the real Braves. This is what should have happened last year.

Reds limiting the danger in the 4′th to a sac fly. Reds up 5-3, going to bottom of 5.
Meanwhile Mets leading Phills 2-1, top 5, no outs, no one on.
Beachy is getting ahead of the hitters all day. Pitching a beauty so far. Keep it up!

Bourn slides very hard. So even when the throw beats him, he often still gets to the bag before he gets tagged. Too many umpire follow the rule of “throw beating the runner” and no one get more penalized by the unwritten rule than Bourn.

Nats claw another one back. Another Curacao kid (Bernadina) goes first – home, on an Espinosa double. 5-4 Reds, top 6.

Jerry — The Lizard Baker is one of many managers who admitted Chipper puts the fear of God into them — and it affects the way the lineup is pitched to. Still apparent.

I don’t think Morgan made a bad play. Did you guys see how deep he was playing against McCann? I think it was great positioning because they knew Chipper would not score from first on anything other than a ball that got past the outfielders.

wonder what happened to Freeman between the end of spring training and the start of the season. it seemed like the baseball was grapefruit size/softball size and he was ripping it. Now FF is taking bad swings, has worsening plate discipline and is struggling. Is he pushing himself too hard now that the stats count? Better pitching? Hurt? Pull happy after his power display this spring?
Hopefully he will build off his good “out” last at bat with the hard liner to left
