GDT #16, 4/18/14: Braves (Harang) @ Mets (Niese) 7:10 PM;Heyward out, Simmons LEADOFF

[gilesfan]

Any news on why the Mets haven't released a lineup?

Is there a health concern with one of their starters?

Do they have you Haranging on a thread?

[UNCBlue012]

It's nice to meet you man! I'm excited to join the community and see how it goes. The gameday threads are a huge positive for me.

I'm excited to see what Simba can do in the leadoff spot again. It's only 15 games in, but I love his plate/0-2 count discipline so far this year. I hope he can do work and Jason can come back swinging tomorrow.

They are discussing whether or not to forfeit in light of Fredi's splendid lineup choices. Kind of how Spassky was spooked when Fischer played c4.

[Heyward]

Heyward needed a day off when Lee was pitching. I hate waiting until today to do it. He's got to face Niese sooner rather than later to put it behind them.

I dont think he's afraid, Niese has been tough against him.

Would of gave him the day-off on Thursday so he's fresh for this weekend.

[nsacpi]

Heyward has a 1.153 OPS against Niese.

I'm guessing Doumit has played more in RF than LF. If not, he should be in left and Justin in right.

Welcome, you will quickly learn that Chop Country is just like every other internet sports site. All the burger flippers, truck drivers, garbage collectors (errmm Environmental Specialists) and 7-eleven employees are all more knowledgeable and qualified than the actual professionals who do this for a living. They know how to manage, are top tier hitting and pitching coaches, marketing genius's and all around baseball gods. Basically, they are overqualified to work in MLB, so they settled for anonymous internet poster.

So, if you think you know it all, you should fit right in. Or, if you are like me, you will spend 95% of the time laughing your ass off at these guys. Enjoy

By the way, giles is a POS Nats fan, so don't get to friendly with him. He is the worst of the bunch. He thinks he knows everything about the Braves and Nats....he is, unintentionally, Dave Chappelle funny

[gilesfan]

[Gilesfan} is Dave Chappelle funny

Damn, thanks dude.

[UNCBlue012]

haha thanks for the heads-up! It'll be a lot of fun for sure. Anytime I can talk about the Braves, I'm a happy camper!

Also, how in the heck do you change your default pictures on here? lol

[nsacpi]

Doumit 1.300 OPS against Niese.

I tip hat to Fredi.

[Mad Dog Murph]

Damn, thanks dude.

Let me edit the post....wasn't a compliment

I agree. At least you know your limitations.

This is my first post, so I guess I'll introduce myself! My name is Dallas, I'm 21 a Senior at UNC-Charlotte and I heard about this forum from a random retweet on twitter. I've been a Braves fan for over 15 years now and I'm excited to be a part of this forum. I been a part of Huzzah forums for about three years; and even though I love it over there, I get a little tired of all of the childish bickering so I'll be going back and forth. So, I'm hoping I'll get a good bit out of this place as well. Either way, nice to meet you all and... GO BRAVOS!

Welcome from the staff.

Glad to have you here. Feel free to invite any bravos friends. Hope you'll be active in the gameday threads. The gameday threads are a roller coaster depending on the momentum of the game. When we win it's kumbaya. When we are behind or lose it's fredi attacks everywhere and impulsive negative emotion. Should have seen this place when Carpenter gave up the home run to Uribe and Kimbrel was still in bullpen.

This forum has a crazy cast of characters. Most intelligent sports forum I've been on with good ribbing humor sarcasm and most of all flirting.

Can guys be nice and stop flirting in front of the rookie?

Banged out about half my paper that is due at midnight tonight. Went into Fenway and beat Boston 7-4 in my franchise. I try to keep it real as possible at least with our roster. Beachy and Medlen aren't on the ML roster. Beachy was traded for Chris Archer. I am looking for a center fielder and the Angels were going to give me Trout for Medlen! I didn't offer it just because it's not fair.
