Mostly 88-89 on Jurrjens fastball tonight, down a tick from Boston where he was 89-91. That’s assuming the guns in both ballparks are accurate.

That was no good for Heyward. Two groundouts to the right side of the infield is reminiscent of the bad Heyward.

Time for Mac to step it up here. I hate seeing him struggle so, but this would be the perfect opportunity to end that slump.

Keep churning Heyward, and break out of this 4 AB slump.

missed the lineup posted earlier – didn’t realize that Uggla was dropped this far in the order.

Hit in the .230s and get dropped in the order – works for me

61 pitches through 3 innings for Bauer, who walked three and hit Uggla with a pitch in third but got out of inning relatively unscathed when Freeman flied out on 1-0 pitch to leave bases loaded.

Don’t normally do ingame, but an observation.
My wife and I are watching the game, and I say “He can’t do that”.
She says “what?” as McCann smacks the ball to the wall.
After Prado scores, I said “You can’t have a rookie out there shaking off signs from his catcher.”
Bauer shook off two signs before the pitch to Brian. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the outcome, but how can someone in their debut, ignore the advice of a seasoned ML catcher.

Never on my team would that happen.

Back to the game.
