Nationals will be a good test to see how good we are.

Braves are immediately down by 3 but respond by scoring 4 in the 1st and then the Nats pitcher hits a home run to tie it up in the 2nd....lot going on early.

 

[death2redemptions]

How do the Braves respond? They score 4 more in the 2nd inning...3 of 'em came off the bat of a Freeman bomb

Nats retaliate...Harper leadoff HR

 

[death2redemptions]

JT has been given an 8 run gift but he's absolutely determined to re-gift it.

 

[death2redemptions]

How bad was Teheran tonight? He walked 3, gave up 6 hits including 3 home runs in just 2.1 IP

 

[death2redemptions]

Carle shuts the door on 'em

 

[death2redemptions]

Altuve is great and all....but Ryan Flaherty has a higher batting average

 

[death2redemptions]

The first scoreless inning for either team...go Carle!

 

[death2redemptions]

RBI single by Dansby! They have now scored every inning.

10-5 Braves

Teheran needs to walk Harper from now on. Dude owns him.

 

[death2redemptions]

With 2 outs Albies hits a scorching double and Freeman drives him in! They have scored in every inning tonight.

11-5 Braves

 

[death2redemptions]

Just realized that Freeman leads the league in RBI (tied with Harper)

 

[death2redemptions]

Freeman also leads the majors in walks (10) & OBP.

10 walks to only 2 strikeouts...wow!

 

[death2redemptions]

Oh yeah, almost forgot...BRAVES WIN!

More importantly, they beat the Nats!

 

[Rabs]

Freeman is off to a fantastic start. I was worried he would get walked a lot due to not having protection but Markakis has been good too so far.

 

[death2redemptions]

Unbelievable!! With 2 outs Freeman hits a double & Preston Tucker hits a 3 run bomb! Braves lead 3-0

I'm surprised by how well the Braves have been hitting with RISP this season. They actually lead the majors with batting avg in RISP

That's great for the Braves, but I think the Red Sox are leading all of the major leagues in getting thrown out on the bases! However, they are 5-1 and returning to Fenway for the home opener tomorrow!

 

[death2redemptions]

Folty has struck out 4 straight Nats hitters

That's great for the Braves, but I think the Red Sox are leading all of the major leagues and getting thrown out on the bases!

J.D. Martinez needs to heat up! I traded Luis Castillo + Victor Robles for him (and Mitch Keller) in my fantasy league but he has looked nothing like the guy who was crushing everything for the D-Backs!

 

[death2redemptions]

Scherzer drives in a run......uh oh

3-1 Braves
