Had to work yesterday so I'm pretty pumped up to sit down and watch a game tonight.

What he said!

[topper09er]

Will be interesting to see who gets the first lefty pinch hit AB between OverTheHillbay, Rizzuto Gennet and Schafer. Ill guess if it is a 2 outs no one on situation it will be Scooty, and if it is an RBI situation it will be Ovy

[phnxcrew]

The Scooter/ weeks platoon makes sense but I really hope Overbay does not start against many RHP's. The lineup looks a lot better with a power threat in reynolds

[owbc]

Overbay seems like a double play machine so I just hope he doesn't bat much with a runner on and less than 2 outs.

Was at yesterdays game, excited to watch the game on TV tonight. (As weird as that sounded)

[Eye Black]

Someone mentioned this yesterday, but B.J. Upton batting second seems odd. He looks like he is a long way from being a decent hitter right now.

[topper09er]

Now you can go to third CarGo

Same here. Yesterday was a great time, but sitting on the couch with a New Glarus Snowshoe isn't bad either.

[TURBO]

GOMEZ goes DEEEEEEEP!

 

Yes!

[ELCABALLO45]

GO GOOOOO!

[TURBO]

If anyone has an extra opening day magnet schedule, let me know, happy to pay for it!

[ELCABALLO45]

Upton's OBP the last 5 years is .309

[liveforoctober]

There are going to be a lot of 6 pitch innings with GoGo, Jean, etc in the opening inning.

 

Hopefully Gomez does that a lot more often to compensate...

[topper09er]

2 outs Ramirez...

[topper09er]

Tough break but no way Ramirez scores on a ball hit that hard right to the CF

Braves fan in the Reddit game thread right after Gomez hit the home run.

 

"Running the bases was just as disrespectful as watching it fly...because he did it in spite. CENSORED Gomez...CENSORED CENSORED."

[topper09er]

Trivia: Who are the other 2 franchises besides the Braves to play in 3 different cities?

[topper09er]

Lucroy ++

O's and A's. Knew the A's, had to look up the O's.

[topper09er]

If you look it up that doesn't count

[topper09er]

Who is the only Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta Brave to hit 50 HR in a season?

So clearly it is impossible to satisfy them.
