GDT: 9/29 Beginning of the End

[bravesfanforlife88]

So starts the last homestand of the year before the long, long offseason. Hopefully we will be busy this year and make it at least a little more bearable...

Looks like the Nationals aren't taking this series seriously. They've given us a break by not putting Uggla in the line-up. Uggla has more than half of his 2015 RBIs against us.

EDIT--Oops! Bad news for Dan is good news for us. Uggla out for the remainder of the season. Also, for those of you wanting a Papelbon Nationals' jersey, they are no longer available.

[Julio3000]

Awesome Jerk gets us on the board.

As noted AJ Pierzynski fan Hawk Harrelson says...
eeeeeeeYESSSSS!

[Enscheff]

Olivera gets hit square on the elbow guard and has to come out of the game? Seriously?

I remember Gattis taking one to the elbow and didn't even flinch.

[bravesfanforlife88]

That's what I though...?

Partial UCL tear inbound.

Wisler has been impressive tonight.

[UNCBlue012]

I'm a fan of Wisler. He hasn't been fantastic this year, but he's done a great job maturing. His repotoire alone is pretty good though.

[Oklahomabrave]

Wisler has looked solid his past 4-5 outings. He should have a rotation spot next year.

[Julio3000]

I think he's putting it together. His struggles were more of a (pre-injury) Mike Minor variety...good stuff, spotty condidence prone to nibble.

Nibbling has been huge. He hasn't been on the offensive - he toyed with them.

[Julio3000]

That's why we need a veteran in the rotation. Add an Aaron Harang to the mix and there's no nibbling, guaranteed.

[UNCBlue012]

AJ AGAIN! It's going to be hard to not bring him back lol

[Julio3000]

Asshole Juggernaut.

[50PoundHead]

Hypothetical. If AJsie is one hit away from .300 in game 162, does he bunt and then take himself out?

The AJ just gets another hit.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Can't help but be encouraged about Wisler. He'll be a big factor in the rotation come next year.

[50PoundHead]

Uggla would have come through for them in that situation.

[bravesfanMatt]

You add harang and still have Perez then nothing left to nibble
