GDT 7/11/14: BRAVES (Wood) vs CUBS (Arietta), 4:05 game!

[USMA76]

That's a tough play for Summons but he should have that.

He seemed to think he should've had it.

[The Chosen One]

Everytime I see the name Alcantara, I think of Izzy.

[CyYoung31]

you mean this team sucks. Actually, both do.

Nah, this team is 8 games over .500 and in first place. This offense sucks.

[tvsportscaster]

Braves outright Pedro Beato off the 40-man roster today. Wonder if that is a prelude to some other move.

[Julio3000]

Saves the cost of a plane ticket if it's Wright or Russell.

Entire inning was on the shoulders on CJs inability to have a productive AB. I'm over that MFer!!! There is absolutely no excuse in swinging at balls and not hitting strikes!

I don't advocate small ball uber alles, but you have to get that runner to 3rd when you're down one relatively late. He does that and Heyward probably scores on La Stella's ground out.

Johnson is just so limited. Average-driven and not what I'd call a pliable hitter. If he hit for greater power or walked more, there may be an excuse for him, but as it is, he's a gaping hole in the line-up because if he doesn't get a hit, he doesn't contribute at all.
