GDT #10, 4/11/'14: Braves (Teheran) vs Nats (Roark) still no Simmons

[Braves1976]

They just showed that throw by Gattis on the wild pitch that he couldn't find, that was a great throw by him the angle he fielded it and how fast he turned to get it off (hard to believe he had time to get it to the plate in time, shows how slow LaRoche is too). Great job by Walden pointing to the ball and great catch and tag too.

We need to throw the hammer down and sweep these maggots.

But I was told Justin Upton was a talentless no-goodkin.

Justin Upton eats Washington for lunch.

Werth hurt his groin they said.

BTW, tomorrow we need to see no more BJ in the two hole and Pena or Pastornicky at second. Pastornicky needs some AB's badly, so if Simmons isn't back play him at second. If Simmons is okay then Pena or Pastornicky is fine.

I agree. We need to send another message after letting the Mets in the back door. All these early games in the division could be a good thing if we can come out with a winning record.

Way too early in the year to be sending any messages.

[Heyward]

That Brewers series win isnt looking too bad, now is it?

Albeit early, very underrated ball club.

Scout board hasn't had a post in 6 days... Looks like Pattio has finally given up

I brought him here... then people told him to leave.

I assumed he was batting in the two hole again tonight. Alas he wasn't. However he was around 12-24 as of last night on their recent road trip or 11-22.

Pretty much all singles and no walks. He had a 636 OPS right now.

Holy ****. Still sticking to that lame story.

Are we not wearing the home reds anymore?

Good point. I guess not.

Kind of hoping that's the case. Our classic home and classic grey are some of the best in baseball.

Disagree, beat them now and handle our own business, don't have to rely on someone else later. You do realize we are 1/3 the way through head to head after Sunday's game.

Also I would love to see us adopt the '74 look on weekends at home. Much cooler than the creme unis.

Doesnt matter if we keep dropping series to teams we should beat, like the Mets and Marlins.

Last year we were barely .500 over them.

Still, there's WAY too many games left for a message series.

If you keep going on like this, I'm going to have to send you a message.

The Nats came in red hot and we still beat them. I look at there lineup and a bunch of averages over .300. Then I look at ours and a bunch of averages under .200. Our pitching wasnt on tonight and the Nats were determined to win this game...

Yet, we won. I can only imagine how good this club is going to be when it gets hot.

[CyYoung31]

Agreed, although I did kind of like how the red looked under the Friday nighf lights. Much better than they look in day games.
