Top of the second

1:24 -- Brian McCann drills a double to center for the game's first hit but gets stranded as Myers retires the next three Bravos. John Smoltz will lead off for Atlanta in the third; never a bad thing when the pitcher leads off an inning.

Ben Rosehart:

Hey Ed, thanks for doing this. I'm a Phillies fan who moved to Cheyenne, WY after college so i'm enjoying reading your blog. I'd rather have Manuel experiment now in the beginning of the season than later... although i liked the point someone said about Howard in front of Utley will slow down Chase's aggressiveness on the basepaths.

John:

I don't like it. Not only are you taking away Utley's base running ability with a slower runner in front of him, what is the message to Burrell and his already fragile esteem? I feel Howard should be batting cleanup and if Burrell doesn't protect him well enough in the line up, switch him down one and let Helms bat 5th.
