Braves @ Marlins

[FishFF]

They said he was only slated for 3 innings

[Swifty]

3 inning limit and his defense let him down twice in the inning (and the home plate ump blew an easy strike 3 to end the inning). I assume he was at his drop dead pitch count threshold.

Okay, thanks.

[Sashimi]

It's never a good sign when the mlb.com box score takes this long to update with the opponent batting.

Fredi is pounding that "I'm not looking at the batting averages" line.

[Swifty]

At least the ump is consistent.

Strike 5 to Maybin.

[Bobbob1313]

Defense has been ugly today.

Fredi is pounding that "I'm not looking at the batting averages" line.

I wish he'd just come out and say that he doesn't want to (or is told not to) give the job to Gaby. It'd make so much more sense than pretending this is still a race.

It's gonna be The Contingency or Lowell.

[Sashimi]

Hey, maybe this guy will help the back of our rotation and, at the same time, bring the Jorge Julio debacle full-circle.

[Bobbob1313]

I don't see Helms starting, even with how much they seem to not like Gaby.

You can't be a scrappy, crappy, veteran presence if you are starting. That's too much for any one man, and they value his crappiness.

Hector Luna has the ugliest swing i've ever seen, I think.

Your 2010 Joe Nelson award winner is looking to be Clay Hensley.

He's retired 31 of 37 batters faced.

[Chewford]

We won, right?

[Bobbob1313]

All Hensley has done is generate weak contact. It's been impressive.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

We keep stretching him out so I think he may be like this year's Badenhop. Looks like Hopper would then be moving into a middle relief role.
