/thread. shut it down. 

we can't compete with these guys. what's even the point then?

Before anyone freaks out at Vaughn being out of the lineup, which imagine is going to happen, consider that Atlanta’s OF is relatively cavernous. You don’t really Bauers out there, which means Vaughn is unfortunately the odd man out against the righty starter.

at least he'll be available to bat in the back half of the game

I'm sorry but that's just stupid.

Not wanting to let routine outs and singles to turn into hits and XBHs is stupid? 

Against RHP, Frelick and Vaughn are statistically the same hitter. Thus, defense and range becomes a tiebreaker at a park like this.

We lost the games started by two of the best National League pitchers, so naturally we should comfortably win the Gasser start today.

I think part of the difficulty with Vaughn in this case is that his splits this season against lefties are just so ridiculous that it throws off our intuitions about the down side of the platoon. .467/.569/.810 makes MVP Bonds look second best.

After already beating plenty of good teams this year, there is no reason to over interpret two 1-run losses on the road. Each teams batted ball luck could have easily fallen differently and split those 2 games.

So far my take for the first two games is the braves played exceptionally solid baseball. 

If Can you play defense like they did the first two games and don't walk anybody You're going to be hard to beat.
