They took Ozzie out and I was bummed cause that was the last of the Braves' in the game, but at least it was the bottom of the 9th. Then the Scooter guy that hit for him tied up the game on a homer and now he gets to play extra innings. That damn grounder was all Ozzie had to show for himself at the plate. At least the announcers (Smoltz and what's his name) had nice things to say about him though.

It didn't help that strike two to Ozzie was at least 6 inches off the plate

Yep...looked remarkably like:
Charles Johnson didn't even try to hold the frame or pretend like it was a strike. He was in the middle of throwing back to Hernandez.

The Braves DFA'd Santana! That's one out of the 4 I wanted to send down (too bad Moylan, SF and Flaherty are still there). Reed who was called up but never played needs to this time I'd say.

That game vs the Marlins to me had to be rigged by someone. Someone stood to make a ton of money on that game and that ref had to be getting a cut. The calls he made in that game are the worst I have ever seen. It wasn’t just one or two pitches. This dude fricked us.

really like that lineup. Hopefully Snit gives it a week or so before reverting back to his old habits.

Acuna batting lead off is awesome (hopefully), but can't be worse than Dansby or Ender.

Watching Braves live, the fox sports guys ask him about it and put the video on twitter if anybody wants to watch but he said:

What a start from the new top 2, Acuna singled and stole 2nd then Ozzie got a double, 1 nothing Braves.

Ozzie stole 3rd and then scored on Freddie's grounder. 2 nothing still in the 1st.

3 to 2 Braves, Kurt and Johan got doubles in the 4th.

In the 5th, Acuna does it again getting on base, Charlie gets a bunt single and Freddie tripled them all home. 5 to 2.

6th inning, Culberson blasts one, 7 to 3 Braves.

Pregame, Snit made it a point to say that now it's about winning games, period. Looks like he is walking the walk by letting Sanchez pitch past 110 pitches tonight. He was very strong late in the start and Snit didn't let some arbitrary pitch limit dictate his decisions. Well done.

Acuna super leadoff man!
