They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Never saw the Hanley move coming. Did think he should have been dropped in the order and platooned more. Wow.

I'm expecting JBJ to get hawt pretty soon.
He hit an oppo-field double against Archer and hit a sharp flyball to deep LF against Snell last night...
These are usually good signs.

Damn, this is an exciting young team we're playing. I'm going to have to watch one of the games. Albies and Acuna are essentially their Xander and Mookie, except with less cool names.

Yeah I'd start Vazquez all three games versus their running game, despite my grudges against Vazquez in the past. His arm will be a factor in this series against this athletic lineup. |

It might just be because I grew up seeing those awesome Braves teams in the 90s, but for some reason I love those uniforms.

Please stay healthy all year Eduardo. It's one of the huge things holding you back. You have really good stuff, would like to see that play out all year.

Lol this ump is terrible. Pitch 3 and 6 was a strike called a ball. Pitch 5 was a ball called a strike in the first Markakis at bat.

I can’t see calling up Pedroia and then making him sit. He looks like he’s reacyto explode.

I've seen one game of Swanson's defense and I'm already glad he's in the NL.

How is Makakis hitting lefties, never mind .344?

Yeah, I can't even hate on Eduardo for that inning. That was just a great piece of hitting by Acuna, Freeman, and Markakis.

JBJ has a long way to go just to get to the Mendoza line.
