GDT: 7-30-13 Rockies at Braves, Wood pitching, JHey lead-off

[nsacpi]

Gattis is just going through a tough stretch as does everyone else during a season. Hes thinking too much right now and confusing himself at the plate. He will be fine and im glad Fredi is sticking with him. Hes a guy that can go out there tonight and carry us to a win. Id like to see Terdo in there as well, but I also want to win and there is no reason to rest Upton, Freeman, or Heyward.

If you want to win you should want Terdo in there. N'est ce pas?

[bravesnumberone]

Good lineup. Would like for Gattis and Freddie to get the day off at some point. I don't know if Freeman is cooling down some or if that thumb is lingering, but he hasn't looked very sharp lately.

Well I aint playing him over McCann, Gattis, Freeman, Heyward, or Upton. Can he play 2b? :)

[Dalyn]

So you would let him play over one of our hottest hitters?

[nsacpi]

He doesn't want to play second. He thinks Uggla would hurt him.

[nsacpi]

Uggla's had a weird July .193/.280/.477

Well...kinda normal for him.

[Dalyn]

Uggla's had a weird July .193/.280/.477

.292 .393 .583 .976 in his last seven games.

[nsacpi]

Freeman's stopped hitting. We need to trade him before he loses all value. Terdo can take over at first.

It's been the Perils of Pauline lately.

Makes it even crazier that Gattis is starting.

[stpeteirish]

check out our #'s vs Nicasio, they're sick. Guys in lineup tonight almost .500 vs him, OBP over .500.

Freddie 4-6, 2 HR, 2.167 SLG
Heyward 3-6, 2 walks, .667 SLG

Heyward
Justin
Mac
Gattis
Johnson
Uggla
Simmons
Terdo
Wood

[Nerfherders]

I was kind of hoping they'd give BJ the entire 20 days in rehab to figure out what's wrong with his swing

[Hulavol]

Per DOB: Cargo has a sore finger.....

Says here Gattis goes yard tonight. Simmons too.

Looking forward to seeing Wood tonight. I think he can get hard for at least seven innings....
