8/3/2015 GDT: Giants at Braves

[thethe]

Shame the site was down. One hell of a game.

[mfree80]

Had to step away for a few minutes. What happened to Freddie? Serious?

[CrimsonCowboy]

OK. Who from the Scout site was messing with Chop Country?

[thethe]

Again, people jumped off the Jace Peterson bandwagon too quickly. Its like we dont' expect young players to struggle at all.

[thethe]

So AJ is definitely going to be out starting catcher next year right?

[CrimsonCowboy]

If I didn't know better, I'd thought that was Simmons and Freeman on the double play

[Oklahomabrave]

I still think Jace will be an average to above average starter for the long term. He's been slumping, but his walk rate, defense, and base running(not base stealing) are all plus abilities. If he hits 250-260 with the abilities he is an average starter. 270-285 he will be above average.

[DaneHill]

Regardless of outcome, heck of a comeback tonight.

[USMA76]

Ball beat the runner but it looked to me like his hand was on the bag before the tag was applied. Braves may have caught a break there.

[Garmel]

Jace has had a strange year. He's either been really hot or really cold at the plate.

[USMA76]

I was listening to the game on XM and all I heard about Freeman was "oblique" but I didn't hear how serious or how long he's supposed to be out. If anyone has more details, please let us know.

In other words....he is a rookie.

[UNCBlue012]

Man. AJ has been baller

[Garmel]

In other words....he is a rookie.

Yeah, but I think he's been pretty extreme even for a rookie. He went from .180 to .300 in a short amount of time and then went down to .240 pretty quick. Now he's hot again. I hope he can keep playing well and stay our 2nd basemen.

[Heyward]

We cant even tank right, smh

So he's Justin Upton.

[USMA76]

Detweiler doing his best to cost us this game.

[Garmel]

So he's Justin Upton.

Kinda except Jace is learning the game so he has an excuse.

[striker42]

Might be wise to shut Freeman down for a long while.

[Heyward]

Posey is so damn good.
