GDT 8/2/13: Braves (Medlen) @ Phillies (Martin) 7:10 PM

[parkvadawg]

Let's get em boys. Nice effort Delmon.

[Julio3000]

Y'all, contemplate Ethan Martin making his first big league start tonight and realize that he is a year and a half older than Julio Teheran.

[Braves1976]

That's two bad calls by this ump against us. Upton walked but called out on strikes. Plus strike one to Heyward was high.

[Braves1976]

Umpire made the kid look better than he pitched. I hope he gives Medlen the same calls.

[jsebe10]

I'm betting the farm in saying he will not get away with that fast ball again

[thethe]

Great start for Meds.

[Braves1976]

Good first inning by Kris. Now let's get some runs boys!

[nsacpi]

What's with all the strikeouts

[bravesnumberone]

Well Martin isn't having any problems through two.

[jason27nc]

Terd just squeezed out a pop out to right.

[thethe]

Well Martin isn't having any problems through two.

I thought this was going to happen last night. Coming off of a great homestand going on the road and playing the next day. This had a loss written all over it. Hope I'm wrong.

[bravesnumberone]

And another bad two-strike pitch.

[Braves1976]

Terrible pitch.

[bravesnumberone]

And an even worse pitch. Jesus.

[zitothebrave]

For real Medlen? 89 MPH fastyball right down the piope to a guy who can only hit fastballs.

[thethe]

Man, that sucks.

[Dalyn]

[Heyward]

Like the lineup. Looks like BJ will be activated possibly tomorrow. Where do you think he bats in the lineup? I think he takes Terdo's spot and if he is hitting well could move higher up.

Anywhere 6-8 is fine.

[Bdawg2309]

>road braves suck

[bravesnumberone]

Where were these pitches earlier in the inning, Medlen???
