The important thing is that the Yankees lost...the Yankees Lost...the Yankees Lost

The Jays's offense really worries me. Colby Rasmus is a bust and Adam Lind needs to be waived.

This is not the WIN METHOD. Who are you and what did you do with JOEK!?!

The WIN METHOD is used as the rules are written. Therefore the WIN METHOD will encompass the entire 162 game regular season. In the post season, each series stands on its own. That is why you will see WIN METHOD fans use the term 'WHEN it counts' so much.

Well, that didn't take long. Three games before Fredi Gonzalez benched Jason Heyward like he did so often last season.

Omar Infante has more home runs than the Braves.

**Wade2Bosh** · 04-09-2012, 05:28 PM

Infante is such a solid player. Great D and solid contact hitter.

Yu Darvish just gave up 4 runs and threw 42 pitches in the 1st inning.

ATLien · 04-09-2012, 05:36 PM

I miss him. I would take him over Constanza, Diaz, Hinske, and whoever else is on our bench now.

..and we got a lead!! 2-0 Braves against Houston in the 2nd.

Yea, Infante's stats from last year don't really jump out at you, but he really struggled in the first half of the season before tearing the cover off the ball after the break. His defense is fantastic as well.

I have to say, for being 2-3 I'm pretty happy with how the Marlins have started off. All five starters went at least 6 innings. Nolasco looked great, he dropped a lot of weight and threw the ball really well. Buehrle was Buehrle. Big Z had a horrible first inning but bounced back and was lights out the rest of the way. Anibal was very good today. JJ had a lot of nerves opening the new ballpark and didn't have his best stuff, but he toughed his way through 6 innings and more importantly his arm felt good.

Reyes and Bonifacio at the top of the order is a terror with their speed and bunting ability. Infante has been great. All we need is to get Hanley going and keep LoMo and Giancarlo's knees healthy and we'll be great.

**Cris** · 04-09-2012, 06:18 PM

EricStangel: 5 runs in 3 innings. Apparently "Yu Darvish" is Japanese for "AJ Burnett."

^

I'm liking the looks of the Brewers this year. Bullpen has been a little shaky early on, but I think that will change. Gamel seems like he will have a very solid season and having Ramirez at third base is a huge upgrade over our situation last year. Offense seems to be clicking just fine without Prince.

Corey Hart is an underrated player. He's a really nice guy to have in the middle of that lineup if he can stay healthy.

ATLien · 04-09-2012, 07:12 PM

Is it too early to start thinking about tanking for a high draft pick and a new GM and manager?

This. He may strikeout at a high rate, but the offense he is capable of producing is huge for our lineup.

But how are you enjoying Alex Gonzalez
