Jansen's AB's are so frustrating to watch. It honestly seems like he hasn't worked on a thing to improve his hitting.

Tough break there.
Man Acuna is good. He made a typical single into an easy double.
Without breaking a sweat. Some speed.Quote:

Man what a play by Riley.
Great play to get out of bases loaded against Freeman.
We should be in a good spot here. Braves pen is bad.
Hmm both catchers hurt. Kirk out the game and D'arnaud also hurt atm.
D'arnaud is a piece of glass. Grichuk didn't even touch himQuote:

Great win.
That bases loaded strikeout to Freeman changed the game.
Kirk and Milone on the IL
Rough
I really hope Springer can stay healthy the entire season. Him batting lead-off and hitting the ball like he can complexly changes the outlook of this lineup.
Adams and Kay recalled.
Montoyo getting more comfortable (?)
He didn't look really good last season making some odd moves and then other times didn't seem sure of himself. Seems alot better this season, almost like he's letting his experience lead him in most of his calls; not trying to force things and being more natural from move to move.
I like his bullpen management.
His lineup management I still question every now and then.
Springer out of the game. argh!
If you listened to the Greg Zaun podcast interview he did, he says that Montoyo and many others are just puppets for the front office. Little to no decision making left to the manager.Quote:

Zaun is a goof. I take anything he says with a grain of salt.Quote:

I only caught bits and pieces of todays game but the fact that he was already on the IL with a quad injury, came back and then hurt it again - is NOT goodQuote:

He may be the "analyst" I respect the least. So happy when he was let go...Quote:

Fatigue is what they're saying.Quote:
