GDT#7, 4/8/'14: Braves (Harang) vs. Mutts (Colon) 7:05 PM EST [HOME OPENER]

Colon puts it right there for Heyward and he watches it. Unbelievable.

[bravesnumberone]

Would you rather them not get hits with 2 outs?

Would rather not have to see them stranded yet again.

Man, is Heyward ever going to become that superstar player?

[tvsportscaster]

This offense is to be pitied, it is a miracle this team will be 4 and 3 after tonight.

Hey ward just doesn't have it. He shows flashes but rolls over it to 2nd 200 times a year. Just bad approach to hitting. Why can't he watch FF

Who knows. His batting approach and stance changes yearly. This year he has to take a damn cab to cover the outter half of the plate bc he stands so far away. He's frustrating.

Heyward watches then swings through belt high meat balls. He's been awful

It is both a "miracle" and a disgrace.

[bravesnumberone]

Don't you guys know? Heyward's tooth is hurting. Or something like that.

For some reason people think he is fine that far away from the plate. I wonder if the bean ball is in his head. Its so clear to even the most novice baseball fan that he is way too far away from the plate.

1 & 2 hole hitters, 7-63

Ask a White Sox fan about Greg Walker...then duck. I think we have a large enough sample size here to see how it's going to be. Every hitter turns into an Adam Dunn type.

Not with that re-gripping thing he does. Hitting major league pitching is too hard to begin with to make it even harder on yourself.

Some of you are unbearable. Would rather watch BJ strikeout then read most of these posts.

Just watch your Lebrons and shut it!

Take a look in his next AB (which will prob be tomorrow), his back foot is literally out of the back of the box. It's unexplainable. The idea of standing that far away is to turn on inside pitches and hit the corner ones the other way. He's doing neither.

Then, boy, do I have some good news for you.

Beat me to it, lol

This made me laugh. good stuff.

[Braves1976]

He's out because it's so close and looks like ball is in glove just before his foot touches. Not enough to reverse call either way.
