Heyward and Freeman are the future of the Braves. Both are only 22, and already have high expectations. Diaz will likely be gone in another year, but he’s a great PH off the bench. I am amazed at his stats. vs. lefties. I’d rather be wrong and win. The Diaz double was HUGE!

Prior to Minor’s last game, he said that they figured his troubles began with his reliance on throwing the changeup too much. In the last two games, he has thrown very few changes. Looks to be working. Great game.

Unlike you, I nevet root against a Btaves player.
Braca, you clearly have something against Jason Heyward. You wanted Jose Constanza to continue to get plate appearances in front of Jason and have never cared for him at all. This has been pretty clear by everyone who reads your comments. What I ask from you, is what Braves player do I target with hatred and vitriol as you do for Heyward? Matt Diaz? Don’t think I had a conversation with anyone about Matt Diaz. But you continue with your garbage.

“I love how the blog has gone from “OMG Fredi is an idiot for starting Matt Diaz” to “OMG Fredi is an idiot for taking Matt Diaz out!”
Yes, I’m certain that’s the same posters you’re speaking of. Is this despicable? I wouldn’t want VJ to accuse me of being despicable.

I hope Venterbumb does not mess this one up for Minor.
All he has to do is get two lousy outs, he cannot do that he needs to go.
Great work for Mike tonight, so far not so great for Venters.

who’s already hit a three run double off of him earlier, take another crack at him with the bases once again loaded
But he didn’t know the bases would be loaded 10 minutes earlier when put him in to play right field in the top of the inning…

You can beat Venters on most nights by making throw a first pitch called strike. He has not been able to throw more than a one called strike an inning on most nights. I think the league has figured this out. Here’s another one on Fredi. You don’t bring in Kimbrel. Brilliant!!!
