The 13-5 BRAVES coming off of getting swept in the 'BURGH by the BUCCOS travel to the 13-5 NL West Leading ROCKIES for a Three Game Set 5,280 Feet Above Sea Level...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #SeniorCircuitBiz #ATLvsCOL

The HOTlanta Braves were cooled off in the 'Burgh by the Buccos this past weekend and they have to be thrilled about getting away from the Buccos. Now they will roll into the Rockies Territory where Snow is expected and play the blazin' NL West leading Colorado Rockies. The Braves will be trying to get back on the Winning Track while dealing with the Colorado Elements and that Rockies Line Up led by Car-Go, Tulo, and Fowler.

Three Game Set in the Rockies

#TomahawkChop vs #RockyMountainHigh

April 22, 2013
ATL Minor (2-1) vs COL Francis (1-1) 8:40pm ET

April 23, 2013
ATL Teheran (0-0) vs COL Garland (2-0) 8:40pm ET

April 24, 2013
ATL Hudson (2-1) vs COL TBD 3:15pm ET

The Braves will throw their 4-5 starters in the first two games of the Series and then for the Rubber Match throw Ace RHP "Huddy" Tim Hudson of the Plains of Auburn.  The Rockies on the other hand will go with Francis and solid vet and former Pale Hose Standout on the Bump RHP Jon Garland.
  
The Braves hit a bump in the road coming out of Pittsburgh as the Pirates starting pitching got to that potent Braves line up. The Braves Offense also has helped out opposing pitchers as the heart of that Braves Line Up is struggling. The Rockies on the other hand have their top two players leading them at the dish with OF Carlos Gonzalez and SS Troy Tulowitzki. The defending World Champion Gigantes, Doodgers, and D-Backs were suppose to be the "Cream of the Crop" in the NL West and now at least out the gate its the Rockies leading the charge.

Players to Watch:

Braves..Upton Boys, Chris Johnson, Freeeman

Rockies...Tulo, Car-Go, Cuddyer, and Fowler
