Smart to bring him up against a struggling Astros team. And less pressure likely being a road game and not in Atlanta. I know it is asking alot of him, but I have a good feeling about tonight. One thing will be very crucial. The bats have to come alive early and give him an early lead. If he gets a lead early, the pressure will not be as great and he stands a good chance of giving Atlanta 6 strong innings, then turning it over to the bullpen. I really wish Venters did not pitch yesterday as I would love to have him available for an inning.

I've got a soda on the Braves tonight, so Mike Minor better dominate!!!

Minor did fine for his debut. The defense and bull pen let him down after he left the game. There are a lot of good things he can take from the start.
