Thank Fredi we're home! I can't believe the Braves are going to play a home game... six straight home games. I'm declaring this good news for the Braves. They'll be facing Ross Detwiler with Tim Hudson on the mound. The Braves have handled Detwiler pretty well. Even Huddy has a hit off of him ... even Jack Wilson is 3-for-4 off of him (I assume he'll be in the lineup with Huddy on the mound, and this time, that might not be a bad thing).
And Huddy has handled the Nats lineup, and has handled the Natinals in his career, brandishing a 14-and-3 lifetime mark with a 2.05 ERA. The Braves will need every bit of luck they can muster to pull themselves out of this funk.
