Holmes did 'buckle down' for the last three innings, thankfully. But going back to the first inning, you just CAN'T walk the lead-off hitter.

I said it in the scouting report - Holmes needed to not put additional runners on base for the inevitable Coors Field XBHs, and he did there

I was simply trying to underscore the deadly mistake Holmes made.

Oh yeah no, I was agreeing with you.

Other than that, just about all the hits came on good pitches that were just really good pieces of hitting by Colorado

FCL Braves lose seaso opener 5 to 4.

Carmona and Tornes didn"'t play ?

18 year old righthander Angeles was the opening day starter.

" Colorado, sending danger, ..." small typo.

I suspect you meant 'sensing' danger.

You're right I did, but I think that's a great way to introduce an effectively wild flamethrowing reliever, don't you?

So proud of Grant of whom you were spot-on. Riley struck out against the initial left-hander then did the "Riley thing" again. So nice to see. Great to see Didier get his first win - with expectancy of more to come!
