Jurrjens very sharp early. 2K's in first inning hitters not making contact.

This is a great hitting squad. Looking to see many hits and walks. 2-5 is one of the best hitting lineups in the country.

Go Braves!

Not really, the Francoeur and Anderson are black holes with the bat.

Gallardo shut them down tonight...

Gallardo was unhitable. Jurrjens wasn't bad. Escobar had 2 errors in one inning. They will start hitting tomorrow.

francoer may be out the door soon and Anderson's not that bad...

they need 1 more bat and they need to switch things up and get the best order but It has potential to be very solid right now...

especially when Huddy gets back in August...

1 more bat though and this team will compete... (still need a cleanup hitter...)

I'd like to see it like this

McClouth
Escobar
Chipper
TRUE CLEANUP HITTER (but for now McCann)
Anderson
Johnson
Francouer
Prado

I want them to ship Francouer and get 1 more pitcher as well... (to send Kawakami to the pen...)

still can't wait until it's Lowe, Hudson, Jurrijens, Vazquez, Someone picked up in a trade...

best SP in baseball with that rotation...

also need to find a closer....

It's "McLouth" Why does everyone add the extra "C"

Anyhow, Nate will be a nice addition to the Atlanta lineup.

Garrett Anderson is awful, I was never a fan, he has never had an OBP over .350 in a full season, and is awful defensively. He hasn't been worth much since 03. That Braves OF is the worst in the majors even with McLouth. Francouer and Anderson are playing below replacement level right now.
