Rollins should of been called out on strikes twice but lucky for them he just grounds out.

Gonzalez has a much better outing tonight. Got the first pitch strike in the last 2 batters. The Braves are now 2-0 in the first 2 games of the season.

That's a damn fine way to start a season, especially against the defending champs.

I just got home from work so I just started watching at the top of the 4th inning with 2 outs. Chipper Jones & Anderson is not in the lineup today. Jones should be back in Friday's lineup. I won't keep up with each inning stats this game since I got later than I usually do.
The Braves are up 7-3 going into the 5th.

Jordan Schafer just hit his 2nd home run to make it 9-3 in the 5th. Diaz walked before the homer.

Terrible ****ing performance by the Braves bullpen!! How can you blow a lead that bad? Four bases loaded walks?? Gross and the Phillies win 12-11! Should have swept them but blew it!
The starting pitching did the job but the bullpen had to come in. A 10-3 lead and Moylan & Boyer pretty much blew it. They need to be released after that performance. After seeing that I wouldn't put them in the game for a while.
I fell asleep on the couch before the bullpen melted so I didn't see the destruction. I hope they don't do that crap this weekend.
