GDT #59, 6/6/14: Braves (Teheran) vs. Diamondbacks (McCarthy); 9:40 EDT

Couldn't have thrown that out there any better

[thewupk]

He's not going to maintain his BABIP or his strand rate, or his sub-2.00 ERA. But he is damned good.

I agree. And in my view #2 pitchers are damned good.

[mossy]

That play was sub-Parra.

[thewupk]

Ah, consistency. I do agree there. He has that bulldog mentality potential though.

I agree. And he's only 23.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Lets make history, Craig

[Runnin]

Now everybody has a hit.

[GovClintonTyree]

Dare I say... Heyward cares about baseball?

Nah. He doesn't give a ****. He'd rather be out hanging on the street with the boyz.

[thewupk]

Heyward is going to end the night with a WRC+ of 108 and likely adding points to his BSR total.

[atl717]

It's going to kill me when Heyward is playing for another team.

[thewupk]

Damn I miss Smoltzie.

[Julio3000]

I agree. And he's only 23.

Yep. I like everything about his game. His mentality on the mound, his head for the game, his apparent maturity, his athleticism. Amazing that he's only 23. And he's doing it without Gerald Laird's veteran leadership.

It's going to kill me when Heyward is playing for another team.

I still think we retain him long term.

[UNCBlue012]

I want this:
1. Heyward RF
2. TLS 2B
3. Freeman 1B
4. JUP LF
5. Gattis C
6. BJ CF
7. CJoh 3B
8. Simba SS

It's hard to believe he's only 23 too since we've been hearing about him since he was 16.

[jsebe10]

And if course the Mariners are back to losing

[thewupk]

I want this:
1. Heyward RF
2. TLS 2B
3. Freeman 1B
4. JUP LF
5. Gattis C
6. BJ CF
7. CJoh 3B
8. Simba SS

I think you will see that sometime after the ASB. La Stella will need some time in the majors and having success before they move him to the #2 spot.

[UNCBlue012]

It's going to kill me when Heyward is playing for another team.

There's NO guarantee in that. We have a good chance to keep the guy... just give him a decent amount on a solid price. He's streaky and it kills me, but he's worth it.

[jsebe10]

I want this:
1. Heyward RF
2. TLS 2B
3. Freeman 1B
4. JUP LF
5. Gattis C
6. BJ CF
7. CJoh 3B
8. Simba SS

I guess I'm the only one who thinks Jason should be in a position to drive in runs.
