Minter had a nice inning....

Acuna drops a pop fly Kelnic makes a helluva catch. The difference in will, the want and attitude is glaring. Short is another one who is willing to put everything out there trying to make the team. Nothing is guaranteed to either of those two, and they are giving what they have to give. I don...

[quote]Even bad teams pitchers are striking out Acunia and Olson with 90 MPH fastballs.[/quote] Agreed; I think it is worse than just fastballs. They couldn't hit Cleveland's soft throwing pitchers either. They can't hit shite right now, save for Ozuna/Ozzie. ...

[quote]Love the hustle from Kelenic to turn that into a double.[/quote] Turned out to be crucial to winning this game. ...

Ronald taking his fricking sweet arse time cost Ozzie a strike. ...

[quote]Gaddis is one of their few ‘throwers’. Let’s see how they do against him.[/quote] and that is how you lose to the Braves. They are built to hit the fastball.

It’s been a good game. ...

The Braves have made them pay for each mistake. Keep pouring it on!...
