Dude had potential that he never reached when he was a Red.

His BABIP was in the high .300's, but the problem was he didn't put the ball in play very much.

At any rate, we have a lot of MLB experience at Gwinnet this year.

4 PM start for opening day on Monday. I might have to sneak out a little early.

Yup, I always liked the guy. Glad to have him.

I'm a bit surprised that Michael Bourn and Jhoulys Chacin were left off the roster, and the average age of our roster is surprisingly high.

Offense should be better this year (hard not to be). Starting pitchers and middle-relief are the two big areas of concern going in.

Go Braves!

 

[bamabear82]

Freeman with a tater! Tied at 1

 

[Demonjoe93]

Nice to see Freddie healthy.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Wait, what? How the fuck was that a DP?

 

[Golden Spur]

Big K there. Bottom of the 8th, 2 up.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Come on, score, guys.

 

[Golden Spur]

2 on, runner in SP.

 

[Golden Spur]

Loaded up!

 

[Golden Spur]

Lolol, that's got to be the worst at-bat for pitcher I've ever seen. 3-2!

 

[Demonjoe93]

Time to fire up the Grilli!

 

[Demonjoe93]

We are totally choking this game.

 

[Golden Spur]

Damn, if he could have caught that and ended the game,
