Same ol story tonight .... the bull pen and Dansby. :L

Uh...

We got shit out. At Coors Field. By a pitcher making his season debut after having a nut removed after his testicular cancer returned.

Allowing 3 runs at Coors Field should be plenty good enough for the win. Last night was on the offense as a whole.

Only reason to watch right now is for the young guys.

I can see what the bullpen did in the box score, but what did Dansby do?
They had runners in scoring position and we were playing the infield in, so we could cut the runners down at the plate. The ball was hit to Dansby and it went under his glove and into left-center ... runs score.

Interesting post on the Atlanta Braves thread on OGBoards:

They just put up Markakis' numbers compared to JHey's over the last 3 years. Nick is beating him substantially in everything but homers where JHey has a small lead. Markakis had made almost 30 million less. I still don't understand that contract Heyward got.

It does deserved to be mentioned that Heyward has won 2 GG's during that time frame.

Dansby has been pretty good at the plate the past two series

Braves up 10-2 on the Rockies

I saw. Hence the :shocked: reaction when saw today's score

Yeah, this team is pretty frustrating. Don't know what to expect from a day-to-day basis.

Ozzie Albies also has two hits today. He's been struggling out there, so that is good to see.

Nice to see the offense took advantage of the Coors effect for one game.

Forgot today was a day game, but 5 solid innings from Sims who should get the win.

I like these jerseys. We wore them for like 2 straight weeks about 15 years ago. I wish we would make them a permanent addition.

Braves score 6 in bottom of 5th to take 8-0 lead.

Newcomb given up 5 hits and 5 walks in 5. Reds stranded bases loaded twice. Lucky he hasn't given up any runs
