Teheran has been outstanding. I love the Marlins' lineup BTW. If morse hits, they're gonna be tough

These 'no strikeouts!!' and 'manufacturing a run, sure is fun to watch!' memes from the announcers are going to get unbelievably old.
Is the ability to bring in a guy from 3rd with 1 out with 'productive outs' a good thing? Sure. Are you viable as an offense when it's what you depend on? Of course not.
Most Braves fans understand this will be a long year without much offense, and most are ok with that. It's going to become unbearable if we can't watch a game without being sold that this is a great new philosophy.
Well fredi left Teheran in there too long. Hopefully they only tie it
Wow... What a job by avilan and johnson
Three bad ABs by the 2-3-4 there.
First save situation post-kimbrel
No kimbrel, no problem...
I was very impressed with jim Johnson and grilli. They really look like they have plenty left in the tank
Fun game to watch. I think .500 is a realistic goal. Some things def need to go their way but this will be a pesky team that can cause issues for top tier pitching. However, I'm not sure any long term sustained offensive success Is possible.
Extremely impressed with bullpen and Johnson in particular. His stuff is nasty.
Unlike the last couple of years this team is very likeable and the big time "gamers" in Gomes and pierzinski didn't even play.
Braves lineup
Young Jr. CF

Bethancourt hitting 5th is weird to me. I'd rather see...
Young
Peterson
Markakis
FF
CJ
KJ
Simmons
Bethancourt
I'm of two minds with Bethancourt. I can see that teams are going to pitch around Freeman and go after whoever is behind him and they might see a lot of fastballs. That may benefit Bethancourt in that scenario but I do think it will be something that will be changed around a good bit.
Just resigned Matt Capps
Braves chase latos in 1st inning. 7-0
Offensive juggernaut. We're going to lead MLB in runs!*********
Damn fun to watch this offense while it's working, though. Bethancourt batting 4 is a joke, though. We desperately need another bat to protect Freeman to be viable.
2 PH rbi singles tonight. I'm not sure we had 2 all of last season
Fun game to watch tonight. Guys legging out the extra base, batters working the pitchers for long ABs....hell, the M's pitchers had over 140 pitches by the 7th inning.
Awesome stuff tonight.
