Saying Cole isn't good is both inaccurate and an embarrassing overreaction.

Sorry Aaron, you can pull sabermetrics out your whazoo but if you think Cole was good last year and in these 2 games, you're kidding yourself. If you disagree with me that's fine. When you start calling me or any other poster "embarrassing" because you disagree, you're beginning to tread on thin ice. 


Your refusal to look deeper inside the numbers doesn't change the fact Cole was good last year. Not great, but still good.



I didn't call you or anyone embarrassing. I called your overreaction to 2 starts embarrassing.

Adam Frazier is a good hitter.

And right now; Cutch is not a good hitter. All we need is a fly ball to tie it up and Cutch swings at the first pitch and hits into a DP. Extremely frustrating!!!

If Cole is not going to be an ace, and if Cutch is not going to be good, this team has no chance of contending. None.



And right now Cole is not an ace and Cutch is not good.



I know it's (very) early, but these are not good signs ...

Was thinking the same thing.  I love Cutch and am not one to overreact, but right now, I'd say he's our worst regular. He looks overmatched. I hope as the year goes along, he proves me wrong. But he looks to me to be guessing on breaking balls, and behind fastballs.

He needs to give Marte a chance to steal too.



Bad bunt attempt by Mercer.

[JollyRoger]

I have no patience for ML hitters who can't lay down a sacrifice bunt. Mercer....you suck!!

[dogknot17@yahoo.co]

I hate Phillips. He is such a showboat. Instead of stepping inside the bag and making the throw, Phillips tries a jump throw. Now, it's a tie game.

Atlanta's horrific defense is keeping us in the game

Marte Parte. How sweep it is.
