#66 GDT Friday the 13th: BRAVES (Harang) vs. ANGELS (CJ Wilson), 7:40

[rico43]

Braves facing the pitcher they were dying to get in the Mark Teixeira deal.

We're breaking tradition here and maybe we can change to horsecrap luck.

ANGELS

1. Calhoun RF
2. Trout CF
3. Pujols 1B
4. Hamilton LF
5. Kendrick 2B
6. Aybar SS
7. Freese 3B
8. Conger C
9. Wilson P

BRAVES

1. Heyward RF
2. BJ Upton CF
3. Freeman 1B
4. J Upton LF
5. Gattis C
6. Johnson 3B
7. La Stella 2B
8. Simmons SS
9. Harang P

[The Chosen One]

Poor LaStella. Coors gave CJ more life so Fredi won't be moving TLS up anytime soon.

[NinersSBChamps]

It's not luck when you trot out BJ Upton and bat him second everyday.

[Millwood1Hitter]

I know I will get slammed for this but I'd try:

LaStella
Johnson
Heyward
Freeman
Upton
Gattis
Upton
Simmons

for a while and see what happens.

[Dalyn]

I can't believe I expected Freeman to get a day off.

[bravesnumberone]

Let's continue to hit a guy hitting .370 in the bottom third of our lineup. Fckin idiot.

You clearly need a hug.

[jsebe10]

I predict we get beat 3-0 tonight.

I'm going to say 5-0...this team just can't hit man.

[bravesnumberone]

I wonder if we'll throw at Wilson when he's shut us out through 5-6 innings.

[jsebe10]

Why walk him? You've got a 4 run lead and Kendrick is struggling.

[jsebe10]

Gattis with a 913 OPS right now. IsoOBP is respectable at .52 as well.

McCann who? Lol

Remember the folks that said Gattis would be a downgrade to Brian?

[jsebe10]

So would y'all consider Freese as the poster child for over achieving? This dude hasn't done a thing since the Cards ' WS.

[stpeteirish]

Harang's numbers vs these nguys are butt ugly. And he's 0-7 vs the Angels. But so far so good.

[stpeteirish]

Gattis with strike zone discipline is a sight to behold. Wish it would rub off on some of our other guys.

[tomahawkchop10]

I'm late to post, but jeeze gattis is awesome!! Uhoh, Heyward out. =/

[Dalyn]

Great inning from our #2. Love it.

[thethe]

McCann who? Lol

Remember the folks that said Gattis would be a downgrade to Brian?

One of the Gattis threads last year was comical. People were saying what a HUGE downgrade it was going to be. Gattis is in the running for MVP right now if you ask me.

[jsebe10]

Where did Heyward get hit?

Right hand. Not good.

[atl717]

Harang is not good. He loves walking people. Can only do it with smoke and mirrors for so long.
