Having a two hour car ride to digest my thoughts... here's what I've come up with.
Defense = solid
Werth = stud in RF and at the plate
Expect a lot more 2-1 losses than the 6-5 of prior seasons. Defense is a lot better... I'm just not seeing much talent on offense.
The ball did not cary at all. I'm positive Ankiel's fly out to RF is gone on a normal game. I think he'll be fine in CF, btw, just not sure he's the type of hitter you want batting 6th regularly.
Happy with the crowd support... though, there was still too many Braves fans there for my liking.
Still don't know WTF Riggleman was thinking pinch hitting Nix instead of Stairs. And so what if they walked Stairs... it would have given your leadoff hitter a shot with a runner on third... isn't that the type of situation you WANT?
