Batista

[SeaWolf]

He got hit around just like I thought he would. I hope Weaver and Ramirez don't play like I think they will.


It does feel nice to take a series from Oakland.

Yeah, with Harden's track record against us I didn't think our chances were good yesterday, but I'll take 2/3.

But Batista is bad. Of all the pitching moves this offseason, I thought this one was easily the worst. Ramirez actually is a guy that Atlanta always seemed to be high on, and at least he's young and left-handed and has some upside. I actually think signing Weaver could be a very solid move. But I did not understand the Batista signing at all. I would have rather seen them let some young guys fight it out in ST for that spot.
