Come on, Simmons!

[Dalyn]

Pop out. :roll:

[O'Dandelo]

Gorgeous pitch to strike out Minor there.

[Dalyn]

Lee made Minor look like a pitcher. :Gasp:

[Dalyn]

That first pitch to Mayberry was definitely a strike.

[jpx7]

How can I join the future?

[Dalyn]

How can I join the future?

Bring it to you.

[Dalyn]

Glad Mayberry swung at that one. Minor had to beat him AND the ump.

[Dalyn]

:happy0157: @ Frandsen

Guess they should've started Asche.

[Dalyn]

Wow. Another great play from Simmons after a LONG at-bat. Can't believe he nailed Bernadina.

[thethe]

Did Gattis swing at the first pitch in his ab?

[Dalyn]

Did Gattis swing at the first pitch in his ab?

Yes. But in his defense it was a bullet through the hole.

[Braves1976]

Gattis hits a bullet off Frandsen's nuts, ouch!

Bring out the stretcher boys, he ain't getting up for a while.

[O'Dandelo]

It was a curveball and no, Gattis laid off it.

[Garmel]

Did Gattis swing at the first pitch in his ab?

Yeah and every pitch thereafter.

[Dalyn]

Gattis hits a bullet off Frandsen's nuts, ouch!

Bring out the stretcher boys, he ain't getting up for a while.

That was actually Upton. Not sure how you confused the two!

[Braves1976]

Yes. But in his defense it was a bullet through the hole.

Frandsen says that's better than a bullet to his...

[Dalyn]

It was a curveball and no, Gattis laid off it.



Was it the second pitch he hit? Missed that. Thought it was the first.

[Braves1976]

That was actually Upton. Not sure how you confused the two!

I am listening on radio, I thought Gattis was still batting. OK, lol.

[nsacpi]

That was actually Upton. Not sure how you confused the two!

Ask Sammy Sosa.

[Dalyn]

I am listening on radio, I thought Gattis was still batting. OK, lol.

Oh, okay. Makes sense.

[PawPawMaxwell]

Everyone trying out for Vin Scully,s sidekick???????????

[Braves1976]

Simmons is going to hit another homer tonight (he's not crazy about the number 13).

[Dalyn]

Is Avilan up in the bullpen? WTH!? Hope Minor is okay.

[Braves1976]

Everyone trying out for Vin Scully,s sidekick???????????

That would be neat, just as long as it's only for games the Braves are playing.

[Dalyn]

That was ugly.

[Dalyn]

Justin actually looked like a good outfielder on that play.

[Dalyn]

Minor still in. Avilan still throwing in the bullpen. I am sure Fredi knows what he is doing. At least Minor isn't hurt!

[Dalyn]

Ugh. The rain is going to ruin a good start from Minor. Wonder if that had something to do with Avilan throwing?

One of you weather guys know if we are going to get this one started again? Looks bad.

[PawPawMaxwell]

Avilan is just out there looking at the girl 2 rows back. The one with the bigguns and eating cotton candy.

[holden]

Guys I just drove to the stadium, but no one was there. What gives? I told the man at the gate that I was here to see the game, and he just shook his head and smiled sadly at me. Maybe I'll show them this thread and report back.

Oh, okay. Looked like he was throwing.

Rain delay.

[Dalyn]

Joe said it was raining a bit before the game. Explains why the start was delayed.

[Dalyn]

It is looking rough. Have a feeling we are going to have to start this one over tomorrow.

[nsacpi]

Gnats winning 9-0. They're about to make a surge. I can feel it.

[Orphan Black]

What exactly is the point of this thread?

[Dalyn]

Gnats winning 9-0. They're about to make a surge. I can feel it.

:Sad: I can see that happening after this rain delay.

[Dalyn]

What exactly is the point of this thread?



:confused:

To follow along with the game. Like always.

[Dalyn]

Looks like it is official. Starting this one over tomorrow. :Sad:

[weso1]

Welp, Dalyn got me to check the radar in Philly and ask myself why it was a rain out.

[bravebonebook]

And like always, ESPN gives the Braves NO respect. I checked GameDay and they aren't even posting stats for the game! Lousy jerks! Guess the rainout just makes them ignore Atlanta even more. Hate that Nats are going to gain a game on us, though; this race is getting too close for comfort!

[bravesnumberone]

Go watch the football game, weirdos. Game got rained out because Heyward doesn't love baseball.

No thanks, I rather watch baseball (and listening to the Mississippi Braves playoff game on radio).

[The Chosen One]

I hate all of you, but more specifically Dalyn.
