GDT 8/8/15 Braves v Marlins

[Braves1976]

Garcia just showed why 99 mph means little when it's straight, esp. after the pitcher falls behind the count (a la Folty too often).

Very good game by Garcia. Good job by Simmons too coming back from injury.

I don't care that we are losing a bunch this year. I'm having fun watching this team.

Welcome back, Andrelton

Geez, Adonis. Have yourself a few weeks!

So who we flipping Olivera for now. We have our 3b. I kid...

[CrimsonCowboy]

This team may not make the postseason, but dad gum it, they are going to fight to the end.

Adonis may move Hector to catcher (probably not).

SO could NIck Swisher be a 2 WAR player as he moves further away from his injury?

I doubt it. Swish is this old, dirty, ****ty tastin homemade ****in liquor that you can barely get her in to ya, but my **** does it get ya some drunk.

We'd win 150 games if we could play the Marlins every night.

I hope Viz wasn't up because this isn't a save situation now. I don't want him warming up if not pitching.

I think this team is benefiting from LOU (Lack of Uptons).

Too bad we couldn't find a way to keep Heyward long term. His fire would fit this team well.

Platform/device?

Firefox and Win 7.

If Kate was our 1B coach our team OBP would sky rocket.

[Braves1976]

Welcome back Bourn! Glad he got a hit in his first game back. :)

[buck75]

82-80 record would work.

[USMA76]

Save some runs for tomorrow, guys.

[Garmel]

I like Simmons' approach of late. He's hitting well and he's walking more than he ever has in his career.

[CrimsonCowboy]

As if thing aren't going bad enough for the Marlins, Jose Fernandez has shoulder stiffness and is going back to Miami to have it checked out.

Adonis sporting an Evan Gattis like slash line: 241 / 267 / 517. Evan now wearing a -0.5 WAR and this slash line: 238 / 269 / 436. Hard to believe a playoff contending team has given 420 PAs to a DH with a 269 OBP.
