GDT #26: Braves (Harang) @ Marlins (Eovaldi) 4/30/'14, 5:10 PM MST

[The Chosen One]

since you have delegated me with all the rights and responsibilities thereunto appertaining, I hereby delegate Heyward

[yeezus]

OK. We have this in the bag. I have a whole bottle of fine red wine on the table, steak on the way.
( I always treat myself after a loss to get us on the right track).
Not to jinx....but trust 'ol Hula on this one.
Uggla to smash the flying fish gizmo in center again.

That's a lot of steak. Even for the like the best team of all time.

[yeezus]

So can BJ be moved down yet? Simmons up?
Our OBPs being so out-of-whack can't last though. I think Simmons and Heyward end up well over that that. The season ends in 4+ months. April stats are crazy a lot of years.

I just can't even begin to understand how BJ is still batting 2nd.

Yeah I know the who if it isn't broke thing, but Bossman needs to be kicked out of the top of the order.

[The Chosen One]

Expecting a huge performance from Harang.

smh.

This is all your fault.

Now you are required to make the GDT for 5/1/'14.

Some silver linings:

1) All of our regulars are over finally the mendoza line in BA.

2) Heywood appears to be waking up out of his coma.

3) If BJ ends up being a singles exclusive hitter who walks a little bit, that's better than the BJ of last year. Still gives me hope he can find power again. Still should be moved to the bottom of the order, although I don't see that happening unless Pastor or LaStella are put at the top of the order behind or ahead of Heyward.

4) Harang getting blown up might blow any chances we had of trading him for middle reliever, but at least it means Hale might get another look in the rotation if Floyd doesn't pan out.

5) Uggla walked last night, but he's still pretty bad. If we keep losing like this and not scoring runs it only makes Wren and Fredi's decision to make a move like making Pastor starting 2B or calling up TLS even more likely.

6) Gattis is all or nothing. Either slugs or k's/weak popup with every now and then getting a line single.

7) After some terrible outings, August Schosser finally looks like he's becoming a major league pitcher. Could end up being a Moylan/Grybo roogy. Teach him the Gryboski sinker asap.

With respect to our terrible offense, I believe I should take the GDT tonight. We averaged over 6 runs a game under my tutelage (including us getting shut out in my loss).

Allow me to save our season
