We really need JJ to be on his game tonight. Really excited to see Bourn in a Braves uniform tonight!

Bourn
Prado
Freeman
Uggla
Heyward
Ross
Gonzalez
Jurrjens
Constanza

First time an Atlanta Braves pitcher hits 8th in lineup, the last Brave to do so was a Milwaukee Brave, Jim Tobin, Aug 12, 1941.

Linebrink placed on DL(lower back strain) to make room for Bourn.

7 mins till first pitch. I'm excited, can't wait to see the spark Bourn will add to this offense.

Bourn with a single to LF in his first AB as a Brave.

JJ has just not been the same since the AS Break. And Boras is his agent. Worries me Boras will want to fleece us based on JJ's 1st half numbers rather than his entire year. If he starts pitching like he did in April, May and June, I'd have no problem with the Braves paying him big money to stay. But he has to be more than just a half season producer.

JJ does not have it tonight.

We are hitting the ball pretty hard but at people.

Ross GIDP with bases loaded in the 4th.

Dang it

What a play by Gonzo from deep in the hole! I'm sure ESPN Will find a way for it not to be on Web Gems though.

Our loss yesterday was like this. Opportunities wasted by lack of timely hitting. You cannot GIDP with bases loaded like that. Just have to be moe patient and get a pitch you can lift to at least get a Sac Fly.

JJ has won his last three outings, but his ERA during those three is above 5, so I hope he keeps it to two runs allowed tonight.

Let's go offense!

Gonzo with a hit, someone check and be sure this is not an imposter :lol:
