  3. Contreras made one mistake. He just oozes potential.

    Yet another lifeless offensive performance.

  4. I decided to watch the 9th since for once they weren’t getting blown out and of course I got pissed off because Reynolds had such a horrible at bat to lead off the inning. Swung at a ball first pitch, took a fastball down the middle, then stood there and watched a borderline pitch. But the positive is that Contreras pitched really well, only giving up the two run homer. It was a pitcher’s duel tonight

  6. We played well on the whole tonight, but so did Atlanta. A loss is what happens when those two things happen and you’re the inferior team. Roansy had a good night, Cruz got a HR, just not enough oomph to get it done.

  7. Cruz is in double digit HRs now. Best power prospect since Pedro. I know the peripheral offensive stats are all terrible for him, but he’s a rook, give it time. He’s shown that he has a PLUS-PLUS skillset in power. The rest can come with time.

    And great for Contreras, too. He’s gonna be a rotation guy for sure going forward.
