glad i missed this one

Between the ump and bad baserunning coaching it was a mess. But seriously, **** that ump.

Somebody put that pitch chart up.

Well that was a fun winning streak, time to start another one.

i didn't watch the game but it looks fine by pitchf/x

That one that FSS uses is terrible then. Your chart isnt showing those high outside strikes that theirs did. And the players reactions made them seem to be more bad calls.

Regardless the game sucked.

man Teheran looks like total ****. Even if he was able to locate (which he can't) his stuff just does not impress me at all. this sucks.

i love this team.


i never understood what the system seen in teheran though

Teheran just consistently gives up hard contact. He needs more movement.

Good article on Teheran- http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/julio...outing-report/

Basically his stuff just isn't as good as it was a few years ago. Why? i dunno. gotta think ****ing with his mechanics probably have something to do with it but maybe not

EL OSO BLANCO!!!

EVAN GOATTIS

Gattis so sick. And rt after the pirates announcers were talking trash for the bat flip v Halladay. Get some. Lolz

That bear needs a Braves hat shopped onto it. Evan GOATTIS

Pirates announcer just called Kimbrel a "capable" closer.

LOL wtf? Those guys sound bitter.

Yea they're tilting me. "I wonder what happened next time against halladay after that bat flip." Well sir he was outta the game because he got rocked.

lol, wtf was that? catcher gets hit in the mask by a fastball.

Kimbrel extra nasty tonite.

uptons gonna uptons
oso blanco gonna oso blanco
kimbrel gonna kimbrel

Today was a good day.

LOL nice.

they prolly mad the pirates got rid of that hanaran guy lol

tell me haters gonna hate if im being too negative here, seriously

theres a house of cards feeling to this offense

im enjoying the **** out of it though

I know exactly what you mean. I temper it with the fact that it has been mostly done without Freeman, Heyward, BJ, McCann. When a couple of those guys start hitting/return to the lineup it should help cover up for some of the other guys coming back to earth.

Chris Johnson running pretty good on BABIP, but he and Juan's power is legit. I don't expect that to regress really and could pretty easily see 30+ HRs out of 3B however they split the playing time.

Justin Upton won't continue to hit bomb after bomb, but he's definitely capable of being the best offensive player in the MLB over stretches.

Gattis was coming back to Earth before tonight. I think it's more likely than not his power is legitimately elite and he will continue to hit lots of HRs if given the opportunity.

Heyward, Uggla, Simmons, and BJ have all been various forms of bad so far.

So, yeah, I think some of the hotter guys will regress a bit, but it's not like we are doing anything THAT special offensively. We strike out a bunch and hit a lot of bombs. Pretty much par for the course given the lineup we run out there.

Will be nice to see Heyward get it going when he eventually does, and let's not forget a healthy BMac can carry a team offensively when he's hot.

The biggest house of cards with this team right now is the SP, but even that could end up pretty solid to great.
