Open Thread and Noc-A-Homa-Win-A-Lotta: Braves at Phillies (4/4)

Today's Starting Pitchers

T. Hudson Braves vs.  C. Hamels Phillies -- W-L -- -- ERA -- -- SO -- -- BB -- -- HR -- vs. Phillies -- vs. Braves

Can the Braves keep rolling? Will Hudson "really" pitch better this year? Will Jeff Francoeur make a "productive" out? Will the bullpen give up a run?

Let us continue to overanalyze each game to start the season - aahhh, glorious baseball for real.

Really, though, I'm looking for the Braves to do what they do when they're going real good and that is win series. So, either today or tomorrow will do, but it would be nice to see Hudson get off to a good start.

Also, it looks as if Kyle Davies will get the start over Lance Cormier on Sunday due to the lingering sorness of Corms' arm. The Braves are making the right move by taking is slow with Cormier - they don't want to run through another starter before the first week of the season is over with. Remember, we're already down Hampton for the next couple of months. Another also, as of now the probably pitchers for Saturday's mid-day game are John Smoltz and Tom Glavine.
