Early Apparent Problems.....

Delgados slow bat......Heilmans getting hit and I feel Wagner is going to be a vulnerable spot also....otherwise Green is "manning up" and things are OK when we score.
Braves wanted this series and deserved it.

Wright hasn't done too much either.

Hit safely in 23 straight games...batting .333...or are you talking compared to Reyes?

Wright's power numbers are down so far, and I wonder if it has to do with the weather or if he has made a conscious shift in his approach much like Hideki Matsui did when he came to the USA.

I think the weather has affected the bats, especially the power guys...but they sure came alive last nite in warm florida....

I was talking about his power outage.

Many comments about his participation in last years Home Run hitting contest altering his swing.

I remember reading Keith Hernandez' book and he made mention on something similar. I think he was talking baout a charity softball tourney or whiffle ball but he said he would hit right-handed so he wouldn't mess up his swing.

If you are not a homerun hitter there is no reason to get into one of those contests.
