GDT: September 15, 2013 (Padres @ Braves)

[NinersSBChamps]

Probable starters are Bruce Smith who is making his first career start and Julio Teheran. Lineups have yet to be posted.

[MadduxFanII]

Lineup from DOB:

1. Schafer RF 2. J Upton LF 3 Freeman 1B 4. Gattis C'5. C.Johnson 3B 6. Simmons SS 7. EJohnson 2B 8. B Upton CF 9. Teheran

[The Chosen One]

BJ the walking machine should be leading off, not Schafer.

MAybe Schafer gets a 3 hit game and puts BJ back in the passenger seat.

If only we would be so lucky.

[Garmel]

I really hate having BJ and Schafer in the same lineup as bad as both have been lately.

[Lville21]

Atlanta will likely clinch the East in Washington.


Nice!!

[Lville21]

Freddie saves 2 runs.

[The Chosen One]

Jeter makes that play in his sleep.

[Dalyn]

Johnson knew.

[Dalyn]

Jeter makes that play in his sleep.

What is life without dreams?

[stpeteirish]

Um guys, look for the fastball.

[Yogi44]

Atlanta will likely clinch the East in Washington.


Nice!!

Only problem is those of us NC that get FORCED to watch the MASN broadcast even though I pay good money for Extra Innings. Winning it there is OK, but not being able to see the Braves broadcast absolutely sucks.

[Dalyn]

How many hits? 0


How many?

[The Chosen One]

When Gattis isn't hitting homeruns, he sucks.

[Dalyn]

[bravesnumberone]

And we continue to suck complete balls against San Diego pitching.

[tvsportscaster]

Braves are making Burch Smith, he of the 9 plus ERA look like Cy Young, unbelievable how bad this offense is right now.

[bravesnumberone]

It's embarrassing, and it's going to be a short playoff stint if something doesn't change.

[thethe]

Tehearn is going to be a damn special pitcher. I really hope he isn't overused this year.

[nsacpi]

That should do it. Pads and Burch Smith are toast. Toast.

[Dalyn]

How many, Johnson?

[The Chosen One]

Simmons is getting very close.

He's been hitting hard hit balls all series.

[Dalyn]

If he had any power at all...

[Dalyn]

Bet Teheran comes in here.

[Dalyn]

Nope. But I think Smith needed one a little tight.

[Dalyn]

Disgusting.

[jsebe10]

This is called being fckn complacent.

[bravesnumberone]

This team is putrid.

[tvsportscaster]

Now watch even though, the Braves won't face Strasburg or Gonzalez in Washington, I smell a sweep coming.

[Dalyn]

Perfect ump for how this guy is pitching.

[stpeteirish]

Schafer should go back to playing once a week.

[NinersSBChamps]

Is Headley auditioning for the Braves or something?

[Lville21]

Can we please sit Schafer for awhile? 8 K's in 15 at-bats.... I'd rather see a cold Joey at this point.

[The Chosen One]

Fredi is in a no win situation.

Play Schafer, Schafer sucks and he should be playing BJ.

Play BJ, BJ sucks, and he's taking away at-bats from Schafer.

Play Uggla, Uggla sucks and he's taking away at-bats from Elliot.

Play Elliot, Elliot sucks, and he's taking away at-bats from Uggla (although I think these days anyone would not want Uggla in).

[bravesnumberone]

Just make a statement to all of you talking about how overrated he is.

[Dalyn]

Good point. Need better backups.

[Dalyn]

Just make a statement to all of you talking about how overrated he is.

I blame thethe.

[NinersSBChamps]

Gattis doing what he does.

[tvsportscaster]

Why would anybody ever throw Evan Gattis a fastball. He has no clue with off speed stuff.

[Garmel]

That was pathetic. Men on the corners and can't score.

[bravesnumberone]

:facepalm:

[bravesnumberone]

Unacceptable play from this team today. This offense....

[Dalyn]

[Dalyn]

Why is Teheran out there again?

[The Chosen One]

Yep.

Fredi starts Teheran, Teheran sucks and he is taking away starts from Loe.

Loe starts, Loe sucks and then Loe should be released from the team.

[Dalyn]

Yep.

Fredi starts Teheran, Teheran sucks and he is taking away starts from Loe.

Loe starts, Loe sucks and then Loe should be released from the team.

Talking about for this inning...

[bravesnumberone]

I just for once would like to see someone, whether it's Fredi or a player put a boot in this team's ass. Just going through the motions.

[The Chosen One]

Talking about for this inning...

I'm talking about in real life.

[Dalyn]

I'm talking about in real life.

In real life people don't complain about Teheran taking starts away from Loe.

[Dalyn]

Nice play.

[tvsportscaster]

Folks, the Braves are in real trouble come playoff time. Their offense is getting shutdown by crappy pitching, so what do you think will happen against good pitching. And right now, the only pitcher really stepping up is Kris Medlen. Both Teheran and Mike Minor appear to be tiring and both are going to be needed for the post season.

[The Chosen One]

In real life people don't complain about Teheran taking starts away from Loe.

Sure thing. You keep thinking that.

Teheran is taking away starts from veterans like Loe and Garcia. This is a fact.

[Dalyn]

:Alone:

[Dalyn]

Nice!

[bravesnumberone]

Does this team have any kind of will to at least avoid being shut out?

[Dalyn]

Wow. About knocked him down.

[Dalyn]

Would like to see a drag bunt here.

[bravesnumberone]

Another Simmons pop up and another BJ strikeout.

[Dalyn]

Loe looks sharp! Can't believe Teheran is taking starts away from him.

[stpeteirish]

Another Simmons pop up and another BJ strikeout.

can't tell weather you posted that before it happened or after, both seem plausible.

[bravesnumberone]

Hooray for getting shut out by a fourth-place team at home with a terrible pitcher.

[Dalyn]

[Dalyn]

Look at Freeman laugh!


http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4624959404836531&pid=15.1





"Honey Freeman don't care."

[bravesnumberone]

I don't care if he has to wear a football helmet, Jason Heyward needs to be back in the lineup, now.

[Dalyn]

Terrible call.

[tvsportscaster]

This team should have more pride than this and be absolutely embarrassed by this offensive performance today. Wow, is it ever dreadful.

[bravesnumberone]

No fire.

[benchguy]

you are full of great quotes when they lose, actually that is about the only time u say much..


No fire.

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah, especially all the ones I've been around when they've won. How much do you say?

[bravesnumberone]

Great swing, Gattis.

[Dalyn]

Another terrible at-bat. He needs to ride the pine for a bit (and I don't mean Washington's teeth).

[Dalyn]

Wow. What a call.

[bravesnumberone]

Fitting end. Don't even bother showing up in Washington if you can't do better than that.

[jsebe10]

Lol they are pissing this season away

[NinersSBChamps]

4 hits and we had a guy reach third base.

[Dalyn]

4 hits and we had a guy reach third base.

Sounds like a fun D&D Pot Party!

[Garmel]

Yeah, especially all the ones I've been around when they've won. How much do you say?

The only time he shows up is to take a cheap shot at someone. Check out his posts.

[stpeteirish]

half our lineup needs to be benched, there's not enough room there for all of them. Someone has to play in the OF, and I don't mean Costanza.

At least Gattis WAS hot, once upon a time.

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah, I've noticed.

Could always try Smoltz out there.

[bravesnumberone]

Well, this Washington series is going to be a ton of fun.

[bravesnumberone]

Still beyond amazed that we exploded for 5 runs in 3 games.

[Bdawg2309]

"I asked Davey whether he still thinks #Nats are better than the Braves. "I've always believed we're better than them."


lol

[bravesnumberone]

They're a better team right now, not over the course of the season. We need to just try to win one there.

[tvsportscaster]

That Washington is going to be ugly. The Braves will be lucky not to get swept, even with that being the case, you figure in Chicago they will eventually clinch.

[NinersSBChamps]

Giants up 4-3 heading to 9th.

[NinersSBChamps]

Giants are on the verge of blowing this one.

[NinersSBChamps]

Bases loaded in LA. Bottom 9 two outs and Plug is up to the plate.

[NinersSBChamps]

Giants help us out again. Whew.

[Garmel]

We're now two games over the Cards and three over the Dodgers for HFA with thirteen games to go.

[bravesnumberone]

That Washington is going to be ugly. The Braves will be lucky not to get swept, even with that being the case, you figure in Chicago they will eventually clinch.

I have little faith of winning any series against anyone other than the Marlins or Astros with the way we're swinging the bat currently.

[Gary82]

Has anyone seen David Bowie in Labyrinth?

[The Chosen One]

Simmons is such a team player.

Not even a rookie anymore, and still participating in the hazing.

[The Chosen One]

Heyward solves all of our offensive problems.

He is the guy that knock in and get the bottom of the order in, and the guy that's on top of the order that will set up the big boys.

[drewdat]

ERA over 9, SMH.
