GDT 9/17/13: Braves (Minor) @ Nationals (Haren) 1:10 PM (Game 1)

nice little 40 pitch inning puts us in a hole in the first inning of a twinbill, crap.

I'm getting more convinced every game.

Yeah. Uggla has been terrible. But he's still a better hitter than Johnson and that's assuming he never improves - which is really unlikely. I think Uggla is probably a .700 OPS player worst case scenario. Johnson is a .500.

Fredi should be using the cushion to get Uglla out of his funk.

It's not even a conversation at this point that Medlen needs to be the No. 1 starter, for better or worse. That was unacceptable for Minor. Why even bother showing up today for that garbage?

Really sucks that the game is already over in the first inning. What is this crap from Minor.

Maybe this team could show some damn heart and pride and make a game of this thing.

BJ with RISP. Yum.

You guys are ridiculous... Game over in the 2nd inning? Agsint Dan Haren? Just because GF thinks he should be a cy young candidate doesn't mean he is one

Not to be negative but when was the last time we came back from 3 down to win a game?

Plus, Haren already shoved it down our throat once this season. This team couldn't even score on Burch Smith, or whatever the hell his name was. So spare me. This team is punchless at the moment. Oh hey, what to you know? BJ struck out in a big situation.

This isn't kindergarden - although perhaps that explains some of your arguments

I already told you I checked the "no" box. Sorry.

Fredi swung at 4 balls that looked like they were going to hit him.

Now Haren can throw a strike. We had our chances, walks in the first tow ininngs, but with Gattis and BJ in the RBI spots, nada. He's probably done walking guys and, as usual, we can't hit.

Stop the incessant flirting.
