I'm expecting Kemp to be huuuuge in this game.

3 days in a row?

[bravesfanMatt]

still wondering if the Braves are trying to preserve Dansby's rookie status for next season..

24 games left after this one.. sitting on 55 ABs. So basically has to take 5 more games off to keep rookie status.

Obviously they are cherry picking pitchers to 'rest' him though.

yup

[nsacpi]

they also seem to be preserving tebow's rookie status....smart marketing

[UNCBlue012]

0-2 count and Weber throws a belt-high change up. And that sir, is why we aren't high on you. Just be smart. Jeez.

Also, I hate Turner so much

good call

[Julio3000]

Has anyone even asked the organization to comment on their "rest" strategy for Dansby? I don't think it makes a lick of difference either way, but I would be interested to hear how they explain it.

[UNCBlue012]

Jace is such an intriguing player. He will be a fantastic utility guy either way

[USMA76]

I think d'Arnaud can be the same.

The broadcast commented that Dansby might be battling some late season fatigue/aches/pains. They didn't mentioned the brass painting anything specific.

kemp gotta catch that

[sturg33]

Dansby not playing against good pitching is a joke... but i suppose they want to hide his weaknesses as much as possible. Not sure why they brought him up to begin with

[UNCBlue012]

Do you want to actually try to pitch to Turner? Someone beam the guy please

[UNCBlue012]

And we are down 5-1 to the Nationals' B team. This is called not trying very hard

I don't understand this. The Nats are a very good team, and Weber is a young pitcher. It's not like Julio or Folty are out there.

Don't you get tired of making these posts?

We're either "dumb" or "not caring" or "not trying" in every post you make

The team isn't that good

This 4-run deficit can be attributed to who snitker started in the 8 and 9 holes
