Yikes. Not a good time for Jason to be struggling as bad as he is. It’s been a bad 25+ games.

Definitely need to see more patience and pitch recognition from Heyward in 2013. Heyward making fewer outs is better for the entire team.

Really? Another errant pick off throw? That is about 3 or 4 in the past two weeks in addition to some throwing errors on comebackers to the mound.

The Braves are trying to do something here and Tommy just keeps holding us back. Hanson is flat out terrible – he’s got no confidence and his stuff had deteriorated to the point where he is practically a junk ball pitcher. Dumping him in the offseason should be one of Wren’s top priorities.

DOB…spotty performance? It is the same as has been since the AS break! He has no clue how to pitch or hold a runner on. He needs to work on arm strength and get the fastball back up in the low 90’s. Then he needs to challenge hitters. He is just being trotted out and doing nothing different other than sucking!
