Finally, a Braves win to recap here on Brave-O-Matic! Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see it…
Certainly we couldn’t have asked for a more timely pitching performance than the one Kyle Davies authored tonight. Fantastic job by the kid, because this had potential disaster written all over it — major league debut, in a bandbox, against a great hitting team, trying to stop the Braves longest losing streak in 3 seasons, and in the driving rain to boot. As I said before, I don’t know if he’s ready, but with 40% of our starting rotation on the shelf, we sure do need him. No pressure, though!
I see that Andruw donned the golden sombrero, and barely avoided a fifth strikeout — what manner of gilded headgear would that have connoted, one wonders??
Brave-O-Matic 
The fifth strikeout earns The Platinum Furcal. I just can’t say enough about how bad Furcal is doing of late. Maybe the short-hop line-drive to the family jewels that he took in the 8th will knock him out of his on-field slumber.
And, a salute to Mr. Davies for a job well done.
