GDT 7/28/2013: Cardinal at Braves (Heyward leading off again)

[zitothebrave]

Before today's usual stinker.

No that's after. Both went down. He walked too many but struck out nearly 2 batters per inning.

Thats where K's per inning is useless. When you nibble enough you are going to strike guys out. But they are empty because you are walking so many guys.

Thethe everyone.

[Tapate50]

His FIP is 4.60 and xFIP is 4.54

He hasn't been good, and hurt again.

[parkvadawg]

Thanks bud meant on Reed,

About as impressive a series as you can have

[thethe]

Wow, can't beleive we swept them. Baseball has so many ups and downs.

[yeezus]

[JusticeForAll23]

Nothing is sweeter than sweeping than the Cardinals.

and Chip Caray is soaking a rag in ether.

Let us go then, Chip and I,
When our pantlessness is spread out against the sky
Like lines cut out upon a table.

[CyYoung31]

Suck it, Cardinals.

[thethe]

Thethe everyone.

I guess you forgot how horrible Hanson was. It made no difference he struck out guys.

[zitothebrave]

No strikeouts for Kimbrel? Why do our guys not care about baseball?

Great to get the sweep against the Cardinals.

[thethe]

He hasn't been good, and hurt again.

Zito always had such a wierd blind spot for him. He is a horrible horrible pitcher.

[tvsportscaster]

To pharaphase the great Jack Buck, "I don't believe what I just saw." That is an incredible weekend for the Braves, now we can't have a letdown against the Rockies.

[parkvadawg]

I guess we have killer instinct now

[zitothebrave]

I guess you forgot how horrible Hanson was. It made no difference he struck out guys.

Yes it did. Hanson was bad today but your direct point was about his FIP being over 5 and I told you it wasn't so you went on a different tangent. Hence, thethe everyone.

[Tapate50]

Zito always had such a wierd blind spot for him. He is a horrible horrible pitcher.

Well, he degenerated to that anyway.

I edited my post earlier before you posted yours. Nice try.

Hanson is horrible and just because he strikes out guys because he throws a lot of pitches doesn't make him any less bad.

[mossy]

Dear STL, welcome to Atlanta. Now go home.

[mossy]

And I don't wanna hear any more crap about Medlen losing his spot in the rotation.

[Julio3000]

Let us go then, Chip and I,
When the pants are spread out against the door
Like lines cut out upon a table.

Well done.

Impressive 3 games ... just very impressive!!!

If Tim could dance around the room, he would!! SWEEP!! Proud of that team!!

[Gary82]

I love sweeping the Cardinals. First of all, I fricking hate them, and if anything, this is a hell of a confidence boost for this team. Great weekend!

[jpx7]

Always nice to beat that team, and the sweep is even sweeter — especially since it was literally impossible.

[zitothebrave]

Hanson is horrible cause he's not getting guys out. It's pretty simple. That said he could be worse. He could be Joe Blanton

[bravesnumberone]

Braves sweep! Why are we so complicated???

[JusticeForAll23]

No strikeouts for Kimbrel? Why do our guys not care about baseball?

Great to get the sweep against the Cardinals.
I'm more upset about the run differential. +8 in a series sweep is pathetic.

[Gary82]

The Braves swept the Cardinals!?!?!?!?!??!?!

This team just plain old doesn't care.

In all honesty. I hope tomorrow is a blowout one way or the other so we can rest Kimbrel and Walden and not have it cost us.

[chopdrew]

There's a lot of you "fans" who gave this team no chance against the "mighty" Cards who I'd like to tell to suck it right now.

Suck it. Right now.

[bravesnumberone]

Question is this. Is this going to spark a run or not? Or are we gonna just keep playing .500 baseball against sub-.500 teams?? Definitely the most impressive series for this team this year.

[Tapate50]

Whole lotta zeets fail round these parts....

[Julio3000]

Nice to send those birds home thoroughly chucked, plucked, and Joe Buck'd.

[weso1]

You guys ruined the game for me. Use spoilers next time.

BTW Weso, what exactly is your avatar of? I don't get out much, but I always wonder about it...

[Bdawg2309]

Now don't ruin and and flop to the rockies

Roper Klacks. One of my favorite characters from one of my favorite video game series. He was an evil alchemist but went through rehabilitation and righted himself, and even pinned a book called, "Farewell to my Wizardin Days."

[Dalyn]

Nice game! I was called away to the casino, but they had it on there, so it worked out.

Medlen says Hudson must be feeling better. He got this text after the game:"Shelby Miller really ripped your (behind), just like I would."

That doesn't sound homoerotic at all.

Yeaaaa I wasn't going to go there but glad you did it for me.

[chopdrew]

The fearless leader changed his name to Tony Stark. Awesome. I'm changing mine to otis p. whipsickle.

[AerchAngel]

Who was the supposed Braves fan that said that the Cardinals would take care of us and Sav made fun on him, even carrying his signature?
He has not posted in this gamethread stating that Miller would dominate us.

WE have been good at not giving up double digit strike outs as much lately so maybe Walker has talked to them, well BJ is not in the lineup that could be an issue.

Googling for an appropriate homoerotic image to reply with is making me feel funny.

He's just talking about their odd color choice.

Someone's trying to start a new trend in message board posting.

Replace your own cognitive thoughts with someone elses' from twitter.

If all of you guys are attending games, we don't have anybody to post here... :Sad:

[JusticeForAll23]

Here's a fun fact: last year we were 60-45 through our first 105 games (same as this year), but we were 2.5 games back of the Natinals.

[NinersSBChamps]

Cool.

[The Chosen One]

Cool.

Your'e absent for a few days and that's all you post...? :confused:

Too tired. Great series sweep over the stinky red birds. Let's keep it going and take 4 more from the Rockies.

[Nerfherders]

Great game tonight. 2 out hits and sweet double plays. Gave the Cards a taste of their own medicine this series.

Did he have to quote himself? :-)

[rniki10]

Someone should probably tell Jerry Starke that those views that he is bragging on are simply people from this board going over there to laugh at how sad he and the GDT have become.

He posted in the thread Niners made.

The strikeout crap is so stupid, it's pretty much 3 players, Uptons/Uggla, the rest aren't too bad. Besides, if they work the count like they did last night, i can live with the K's.

[jpx7]

Worst night for the Stark(e) family since the Red Wedding.

Too soon.

Had to tweak/twerk it a bit.
