    If "wives" is plural for "wife" then "Barves" is plural for...?

    Which means he was watching the ball and not the outfielders (which will tell you where the ball is going).

    Bad luck is definitely a part of it, but Wright isn't a big time bat-misser so the onus is on him to get favorable results. Really the walk to Smith was unacceptable, no reason not to throw him strikes.

    Freeman's hit wasn't a ground ball throw the infield, it was a liner into the outfield.

    I mean ideally he could have used some AAA seasoning, but he's 25 and threw 155 innings last year in AA. It's not like he's a 21 year old in A+ getting the call.

    Hit and run by the Braves works, first and third with no outs. This is going to be a long game folks.

    Cowboy shut down George a couple of times yesterday, especially when for some reason he wanted to ramble on about NCAA bb. But Brantley > Walsh there you have it.

    According to a coworker of mine who is an Atlanta fan, it's what he does every time he watches them play.

    Yeah, but a line drive ruins my narrative.

    Brantley's all right as a change of pace, and he's quite good at color commentary. But I prefer Welsh.

    Tie game 3-3 but they cut down the runner at 3rd. Good play from Bruce to Phillips to Suarez to get the runner

    That was a nice 3-0 lead while it lasted.
