One game played, one win. Obviously, the most standout performance of last night's win was the defense. Four DPs, nice catch by Alou, very nice throw from Reyes deep in the hole to first, and great throw by Beltran. Also nice was the fact that the lineup production was so balanced top to bottom. It was great to see every batter do something yesterday to get involved.
Glavine's performance was great, a little shaky in 6th inning but that's par for the course with him. Feliciano was underwhelming compared to last year and spring training, but I'm expecting him to be solid. Not the best first appearance for Joe Smith, but not a disaster either, thanks to Heilman + Valentin. I definitely like Smith's delivery, velocity, and pitch movement. He'll turn out to be a very important part of bullpen..

Smith might even help you forget about Bradford
That's certainly the hope, and I think that's what minaya's been hinting towards..
