Are you folks excited with what you are seeing with Holliday? I sure am...

Yes. I’m very reactionary but imagine he moves into 2 slot sooner than later. Have to get the kid more AB’s. I think he would do well with that hole between first and second too.

Which 4 would you take in your rotation:

Palmer, McNally, Cuellar,  and Dobson, or;

Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, and Avery?

This Fox broadcast is absolute crap...but CC Sabathia is an American treasure.

Cleveland is so damn good. They make you earn it.

Individual peak season = the Os 

Career = Braves hurlers

2? Why not 1? We're dying for a true leadoff hitter, and he has the perfect profile to be that guy for a long time.

Nick Markakis' broken hand says hello.

Eflin is such a professional starting pitcher.  That’s not back handed compliment. He works fast, throws strikes, is gonna toss quality start after quality start. Glad to have him for next 1.5yrs.

Flip a coin. I guess you can also analyze that by considering the era in which they pitched in. The Braves guys did it during the steroid era.

Hard to believe it’s been 12 years ago now.

Hit incoming for Mayo! 

[SteveA]

Two hits for Eloy, 2 for Slater, Eflin pitching well.   Good day for the new acquisitions.   Maybe Seranthony can join the party a bit later.

Same here. Really happy he’s an Oriole.

I've been tuned in and out. Has Mayo gotten a hit tonight yet?
