I’m no FG fan, but he was right to wait to use Heyward against lefties….
Jason is maturing, I think, and the time was right recently. We’re seeing it some now.
Assuming we don’t blow this, great to put some distance on these guys behind us before the next losing streak.

Appreciated Glavine’s comments – a veteran pitcher KNOWS how to do it, it’s just a question of can his body accomplish it? Today – Sheets did. Standing O woulda been nice, but….he’ll get one in the clubhouse…he’ll appreciate that one too.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Tom Glavine, but does it always seem when he’s calling a game against the Mets, he sounds just a little biased in that direction? I mean I know he played with them for like 3 years, but he was a Brave a whole lot longer. If a long-term ex-Brave went on to play with another team and then came back as announcer, I would expect them to be more home-team friendly.
Maybe I’m just being a little too sensitive.

Meds seems like Glavine – one of those “bend but don’t break” kinda pitchers.
