GDT #70. 6/17 7:10 PM EST Phillies(Kendrick) @ Braves(Santana) No Gattis

[CyYoung31]

Oh no doubt. Post fat ass Andruw, nobody better in the league.

Glad we agree.

[57Brave]

Are you really justifying BJ being in the 2 hole?

No, if I was justifying BJ in the 2nd hole I'd be justifying BJ in the 2nd hole.
I asked a straight up ques

The Fire Fredi's - that should be the name of this board lately.
Or, Bench BJ's

[tomahawkchop10]

Awful decision by bj. I can deal with poor hitting, but poor defense, poor decision making, and just sloppy play I can't stand. And to me that's a reflection of leadership. Something needs to be shaken up to get this teams head on straight.

[jsebe10]

Glad we agree.

Agreed. Wanna go bump a few lines?

[UNCBlue012]

BJ should be benched for not catching that then ****ing up the throw home. He awful. ****ing awful.

Yeah... this is infuriating. There's so much fail on this team right now. Between Santana, the BP and the defense, something has to change.

[tvsportscaster]

This team is just maddening right now. They take two out of three against a pretty good Angels team and then stink up the joint against one of the worst teams in baseball and one of the worst pitchers in baseball. This team is what it is, a mediocre team at best.

[CyYoung31]

Agreed. Wanna go bump a few lines?

Sure. You have Chip on speed dial?

It starts at the top. There is zero accountability on this team. Zero. Nobody is worried about Fredi saying a word to them. Heck, sorry ass BJ complained earlier when moved down.

[stpeteirish]

I haven't watched a game in over a month. Finally had enough and said I won't watch anymore until Uggla was benched and BJ was batting 7th or 8th. I keep up with the scores on espn.com and still read here (no game threads). Well, maybe the last page or two after the game.

How much longer will it be before I can watch again?

should be a rebuilt team with some guys who can actually hit by the new GM. 2-3 years or so.

[tomahawkchop10]

He's fine. We are going to get to Kendrick relatively shortly.

Christ Laird.

Wanna bet? Kendrick is the 2nd coming of Greg Maddux when he goes against us.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Can't say Johnson doesn't have any fire in him, at least

[UNCBlue012]

Uh... another lead off hit? Good to see Santana doing work out there. Dang 14 Million dollars. lol

[PurpleBrave]

Braves have been getting pretty unlucky. We go up against a Cy Young contender every night.

[tomahawkchop10]

Lol nice throw justin. Santana looks awful.

yeah no kidding. We are way too patient with undeperformers. And have no bench. But getting an upgrade over our present CF situation would not be difficult.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Good job giving the bullpen a much needed rest tonight, Santana. Well done.

[jsebe10]

Sure. You have Chip on speed dial?

I do but he couldn't talk when I called. Only thing I could make out was "Trouts in my mouth right now".

[stpeteirish]

Good job giving the bullpen a much needed rest tonight, Santana. Well done.

Pedro Beato is rested and ready.

[jsebe10]

Good AB Simmons. Take the strike and swing at two balls no where near.

[tvsportscaster]

You would think at some point these idiots would get tired of getting embarrassed by some of the league's worst pitchers. Kyle Kendrick always looks like Cy Young against the Braves.
