9/6 GDT Braves vs Nats, Swanson homers!

[TomahawkCult]

I watched the video of Swanson homer. Gio should get to smack each I the OF. Lazy terrible on all of them.

I cackled with glee with Turner treating Nats Park like the Polo Grounds ("what's this dirt mea... WHACK"). He, as I, went to NC State, so I really shouldn't bask in the schadenfreude of that moment, but he's a Nat now, so eff that.

Perez doesn't like all the runs he has gotten. Needs to keep it close for excitement value.

[TheBravos]

I don't remember Perez hitting 94 with his fastball in the past...was he??

[goldfly]

that was ugly from kemp

[Enscheff]

Did Snit forget to tell Inciarte he is supposed to catch those balls for Kemp tonight?

I also am a Pack grad and love watching Turner play. But why does he have to be a Nat. Anybody but that freaking douche team

[goldfly]

that sucked

Watching Kemp try to play defense tends to be ugly, he makes Markakis look like an actual gold glove defender (and not just one that got it based on his bat and lack of "errors"). Kemp should be a DH in the AL, he is just terrible defensively.

pitching tonight sucks

Am I crazy to think that Perez could hold down the bottom of the rotation for us next year. Ever since struggling really early in the year his velocity has been way up and he's looked pretty good. I know he still has to prove it but I wouldn't hate him starting in the rotation next year.

I wouldn't say crazy, but I'd stay away from sharp objects if I were you.

why do I like this comment. I really keep wanting Perez to do well.. but he really lets me down a lot.

I think he is a good swing man, being the long reliever and spot starter. I don't want to plan on him starting but I want to keep him around just in case. I won't forget when he came into an extra innings game and then threw like 6 shutout innings 2 days later.

I think if he's the last man on the staff, it's something everyone could live with. I just don't think he has either the stuff or savvy to be a consistent contributor.

[bravesfanMatt]

maybe Cruz can stick around long enough in this game to get his first win. The pen will lock this down once we get the lead!!

[50PoundHead]

Nice outing for the de la Cruz missle.

Rare to see Perez bite off more than he can chew.

[nsacpi]

Simmons could be our closer next year.

[Ozzie Swanson]

I think we should just keep rolling Jim Johnson out there for the next 10 years until his arm falls off.

He was getting too much of the plate.
