GDT: Braves vs Pirates Game 3

[msstate7]

Fredi was obviously holding back these boys power stroke haha

[Ozzie Swanson]

Flowers is 1,000,000x better than AJP.

Late to the dance. I guess those odd line-ups weren't all Fredi's idea. Either that or he left a virus on the team bus that Snitker has contracted.

[50PoundHead]

Send 'Em Home Snitker was a bad 3B coach so I don't know why anyone would think he'd be a decent manager.

Because he won't be able to wave them home standing next to the bat rack.

[Julio3000]

Julio es buena. Sorry, haters.

[USMA76]

Shut up, Joyce...you just got pantsed.

[50PoundHead]

78 pitches through 7? Is Teheran pitching to Braves' hitters?

[USMA76]

Julio es buena. Sorry, haters.

No argument. Too bad his W-L record is a reflection of his lack of run support much more than his pitching abilities.

[msstate7]

Why not ph mallex for frenchy? Upgrades bat and defense

[Braves1976]

Julio es buena. Sorry, haters.

I've always liked Julio, I'd even argue that it seems the Braves brass seem to underrate him and almost sold low on him (instead they sold VERY LOW on Wood and Peraza). It's great to see Teheran doing very well because at least now if he's traded we'll have a better shot of getting a very good return.

That said, I still think we'll need a good experienced starter like Julio is to lead our young rotation next year and the free agent market looks terrible. So if we trade him we are likely to downgrade our rotation for next year.

[msstate7]

Really need to get AJ back at cleanup tomorrow

[bravesfanforlife88]

Flowers for president. Aybar for janitor

We don't do stuff that makes sense

I've been a fan of his for a long time. He is what he is. I wish there were less discussion of whether or not he's an "ace"—IMO, he's not—and more appreciation for what he is, which is a damned good pitcher and a hell of a competitor. He balls hard every time out, and I appreciate it.

[USMA76]

Is it just me or does Inciarte just seem incredibly smooth tracking down balls in CF? I'm okay with Mallex but IMO Inciarte seems a little more natural at that position right now.

Braves fan's don't handle a player not living up to expectations very well.

[Braves1976]

Aybar sucks...

[USMA76]

I hate Aybar. Maybe "hate" is to strong a word--then again, maybe it's not.

[Garmel]

Aybar showing off his limited range.

[mossy]

Let's just give him back to the Angels.
