After two impressive road wins against the Division Rival Mets, the Bravos attempt to improve upon a stellar road record as we travel to Miami to face the Marlins and Dontrelle Willis. Willis is money in April, and we'll need to give Davies some run support to win.


Go Braves!

I can't stress this enough, 1hr and 3rbi from our LF and 1B is just not enough contribution. Thats a guaranteed 3 outs in a row atleast 2 times around the order. Win another series thats all we have to do.

true, our lack of production from LF and 1B can end up killing us! I honestly thought that Matt Diaz would emerge as our everyday LF and would have a somewhat "breakout" type year hitting close to .300

and as for Scotty Thorman, he has shown power but him and Craig Wilson havent been able to hit the ocean lately.

I still think at least someone out of Diaz, Langerhans, Thorman and Wilson will break out of it and contribute, at least, i hope so.

How can those Langerhans gloves at turner field live with themselves.

Hell of a weekend for the Braves, hopefully we can just continue to get the ball to our bullpen with a lead.

Also, D-Train's wife is giving birth to their first child today, maybe tonight he will be mentally weak.

How bout bringing Micahel Tucker back, sign him to a minor league contract and see what he can do. If your loooking for a LH bat to platoon with Diaz. Phil Nevin is a FA try him out and see what happens. I know its early but better early than later IMO.

I agree lets give Tuck another shot, another veteran in the clubhouse never hurts.


Also, kinda of new here. How do you post a picture?

Thanks lpsevier

Hopefully Davis can step up. I can see a great game from him.

No mention of the Mermaids? And this is the second game thread they've appeared in?

Come on fellas.

^ They're lookin good.

Let's go Davies, and let's keep the bats going..

Sweet Jesus, that's the understatement of the year. There isn't an ugly one among them.
