Mark Teixeira, the former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket, apparently feels right at home in the Braves lineup. For the second consecutive night, Big Tex jacked a longball.
Unfortunately for Atlanta, Teixeira can't pitch, because the back end of this rotation is an absolute mess. As I stated the last few days, Jo-Jo Reyes is an over hyped prospect and not ready for the big leagues (in my opinion, he never will be). Tonight's statline for Jo-Jo;
IP: 3.0
ER: 4
Hits: 5
BB: 4
Not a line you like to see out of the man who is going to be your #5 starter through the rest of the season. The problem is, there really isn't anyone in the minors that is ready to take his spot. The Braves may end up shopping the waivers before long, but if they don't do it soon, it just might be too little too late because of Jo-Jo.
