You do better when you provide two options. 

[Dave Borton]

Have Milo Hamilton and Ernie Johnson on the Atlanta radio booth.

No, that's not right. They were on when I lived in East Central Alabama in the '70s. Tonite it's Jim Powell (former Twins radio in '90s) and Joe Simpson, former Royal and Angel.

[Parfigliano]

15 outs 8 K's.  Sad.

[mrtwinsfan]

Anyone else notice after 2 times thru the order,  Brave players have seemed to adjust to sonny, while our guys either look at strikes or swing at Air,   Big difference

[stringer bell]

Correa has been outstanding at short.

Agreed ... but against a strikeout pitcher like Strider, I would have expected even more than that.

I’m listening to them as well.  Bit of a cheap shot on Correa and a very quiet correction.

Used to watch lots of Atlanta games on the Superstation. Didn't see this live, but it remains one of the greatest calls in the history of broadcasting:

Attaboy Sonny

[Jocko87]

Seems we have the good Gray tonight.

 More talented hitters?   Part of it,  In game adjustments ,  Watching Kiroloff that a.b. , he swung wildly at 3 balls

Kiriloff looks terrible over the past few weeks. His career might be comong to a close.

Hopefully his career is just getting started!

I don't know... He's only 1 for 3 tonight.

Alex has been lousy for a while. I'm totally confident that he'll "find it" if the wrist is truly healthy. The league has made adjustments in how to pitch to him and now he will have to adjust to the adjustments.

[RpR]

At least they are hitting the ball now.

[SwainZag]

6 very solid innings from Gray if he's done for the day.

He has less then 500 career AB's.  They should make him an everyday player for an extended period of time (at least rest of this year and the next) and see what they have.

Ditto Lewis.

[stringer bell]

Gallo walked. Called it.
