6/10/15: GDT - San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves

[57Brave]

let's count the number of plays Johnson will have tonight.

2, maybe

box scores are not usually 5-3 over and over.
Maybe 2
.....

before you go into the statistical weeds. The Cardinal vs rockies game today w Carpenter and Arendo playing 3rd -- had one 5-3 - and a couple singles to LF. No infield singles to third.
ESPN does track infield hits . Interesting

Just relax, CJ will do fine
until he doesn't

Let's say with a groundball pitcher he has 3 plays and with a fly ball pitcher 1 play. Why not use him when a fly ball pitcher is going.

[Braves1976]

I agree that you need to give Uribe a day off now and then. But we have guys like Teheran and Foltynevich for whom infield defense is less important.

Exactly, not starting Uribe with your sinkerball pitcher on the mound is stupid (esp. when CJ is the one replacing him).

Plus CJ vs righties and Uribe vs righties, both ways that makes us weaker most likely.

Well, we missed that boat because he "doesn't" in well over a year.

I am fairly confident CJ can field 2 or 3 ground balls. I been to the park and watched him field maybe 10-15 in a row.

Perhaps not with the range of Uribe but like I said earlier, it's not like they are asking -50poundhead to play third
.

The obsolescence of Lord BABip has been effected at a breathless pace. Uribe came in straight regicidal.

Somebody hasn't noticed.

Fredi didnt get into specifics, but said there have been internal discussions on possibly bringing up minor league starter to develop in pen

Has Fredi ever said anything that remotely sounds intelligent?

Fredi logic "Yeah he's gonna start the game but come out if the bullpen. He's gotta get warmed up out there."

Someone's got to close after Long John and Grilli are flipped.

Wouldn't that be badass.

[WaitingFor2017]

Heyward-esque!

[thethe]

Heyward-esque!

Heyward would have made 2 outs there.

[thethe]

Alright, solid job Perez. I'm fine with him pitching around Justin Upton all day.

[WaitingFor2017]

What stadium is SunTrust Park modeled after?

[thethe]

Damn, this kid is filthy.

[WaitingFor2017]

Has Freeman always struck out a lot or was it just hidden in prior years because the entire team struck out?

[NinersSBChamps]

Should have grabbed Tyson Ross when Hart wanted to hand players over to San Diego.

[WaitingFor2017]

Things are normal if Melvin is making an out.

[thethe]

We are going to need a better defensive CF if we want to compete.
