Re: 2012 Season Game Thread
Line-up today for the Braves
1. Bourn CF
2. Prado 3B
3. McCann C
4. Uggla 2B
5. Freeman 1B
6. Diaz LF
7. Heyward RF
8. Pastornicky SS
9. Hanson P
Considering Matty D owns Santana, it's a good move to have him up in the 6 spot and keeps our Lefty/Righty Balance. I'm super pumped for this game and needless to say, I'm not getting much work done this afternoon.
The big question is, will Heyward make it 3/3 on hitting a homerun in his first at-bat of the season?
A few other news & notes:
Chipper is healing well, will be hitting in optional practice tomorrow and could be ready for the game on Tuesday. Braves may send him to Rome to get a few at-bats on Thursday before the home opener.
Also, the Mets moved in their fences again this year. Moved them up another 10 feet and lowered the wall. I have a feeling they'll be doing that in Miami next year if their stadium keeps playing like last night.

Prado with the first hit of the season for the Braves, a single. Uggla is Santana's first strike out victim.

Mets strand Murphy at 2b. Hanson getting the ball to the plate faster, without that hitch in his delivery.

Re: 2012 Season Game Thread
Shouldn't we be going after Santana? I mean isn't he rusty after not pitching in a game for 2 years.

Uggla error allowed Andres Torres to reach first, but Tommy Hanson picked him off!!!! Kris Medlen must be teaching everybody his pick-off move.

Re: 2012 Season Game Thread
We always get dominated by left-handed pitchers, the only guy who can hit left-handed pitching on the team is Prado (and Diaz/Chipper when they're in the line-up).
Our best bet is to have good at bats against Santana, get him up to his limit of 85 pitches and then dominate the Mets bullpen.

If it's a good pitch, fine, but I wish he would take more time. I realize it can be difficult to hold off.

I thought Bobby Cox said he was too patient.
