Hope Gonzalez sticks with this lineup and doesn’t roll out the retail schedule tomorrow. He might break out in a rash, but this team needs to get rolling at home.

Hanson lost his effectiveness pretty quickly. On the bright side, it is best that Venters comes into the game without anyone on base.

Especially since McDowell just came out with a scouting report I’d assume. I’d hope they’d know that.

Only 90 pitches. If not for the homer ( and back to back hits), he could’ve gone deeper. Hanson was great tonight.

The Braves really need to decrease the number innings where they give up multiple runs. They really have had trouble preventing runs from scoring with two outs and trouble preventing the big inning.

Whenever Mike Zagurski comes in for Arizona, I can’t help but think of the John Goodman’s character from Monsters, Inc. – Mike Wazowski. The names and appearances are so similar.

Moylan will probably be better than most that come out of the Atlanta bullpen (except Kimbrel and Eric O). Regardless, he is better than anyone we could bring up from AAA.

BFChris27……”Venters just wanted closer save situation”

Looks like our middle pen pals have a plan–however, they always get exposed quickly; we just don’t have a ’shut down guy for that situation.

I no longer have that great of a feeling about this game. It is becoming too close for comfort and it would be really embarrassing to let a strong outing by Hanson and a 6-0 lead slip away.

JNick

If you look at the pitching splits, Braves pitching is actually doing worse against righties….so I’d take Moylan, crappy stats against lefties or not.
