One run still does not win this game. Got to have at least one, maybe two this inning.

May have to go w/ EOF with the lefties coming up in Bot 8th. Turn Swisher around. Look for Tex to pinch hit in the next 2 innings somewhere.

Didn’t a lot of you want to trade Prado during the offseason? Boy, that would have been a good deal.

Prado and Bourn are the best players on the team right now, most consistent for sure!

Logan in and I say bunt Martin over, get him in. Guy has been tough on us. Play baby ball, not “Bobby Ball” waiting for the homer

The Yankees just refuse to go away. You always feel like they have a shot, regardless of the score.

The Braves really need to add on at least 1 run here. Teen has set them up perfectly, so let’s see them play ABC ball and get him in.

Another one out of the park would be nice right about now. Probably would seal the deal.

Moves him over. Well done.

Up to FF. Fly ball will do it.

Murph – Can you NOW give Heyward his nickname back?
Based on his last three games, he is back to where he needs to be.

JHey is headed towards that 3 spot in the lineup, or should be.

Just when you think this team has it figured out they go on a lengthy losing streak, and just when you think they’re done they somehow pull it together. Weird team.

Heyward has earned some brownie points for at least a few days…so get off of his back!!!!!

What a series/game by Jason! I knew that Jason would be a force someday. So much talent—and he is still figuring it out/learning, so there is no telling what his upside is.

TaylorVol

Heyward will be very special as will Freeman. I like this lineup in 2013 if we can sign Bourn and find a LF to spell Prado when he moves permanently to 3rd base. Chipper will get his swing back and end the season around .290. Our pitching without Beachy is a huge question mark.
