8-23-13 Braves at Cards

[NinersSBChamps]

And here we go.

That can be said of all those that spent time of the DL not long ago. If Gattis is to get back on track he needs to play regularly. The two times a week stuff doesn't help matters (nor does being move back and forth from catcher to outfield). He needs to just focus on left field and with regular play he should get back on track again. It's not like he's been striking out a ton like some of the others.

It's a shame that the oblique injury cost Gattis so much time this year. We haven't really had the chance to see if he can get comfortable and make adjustments. I'd like to see him out there for that reason alone.

Nice hit jay "high up anus" jay

[NinersSBChamps]

Add that catch to the Simba greatness thread.

[Dalyn]

THAT is range. In case Freeman was curious.

[Bj1133]

WOW!

[Braves1976]

Simmons made another great catch! Wow he surely is the best!

[jsebe10]

Jesus Simmons!!

Agreed.

Freddie with a nice play. A little too much solid contact off Medlen this inning for my liking

[NinersSBChamps]

I can't think of a team who has had worse injuries than the Braves. The Yankees definitely come close, but I think our bullpen puts us over the top.

[Braves1976]

KC is up 6-0 early on the Nats, that's good news.

That will happen when you pitch to contact and are in the strike zone as much as him.

Cardinals announcers are just brutal to listen to, btw. They were just discussing the idea of Wainwright missing out on golf outings with Maddux and Glavine because of his trade, completely ignorant of the fact that both were long gone from the Braves prior to Wainwrights big league debut with the Cardinals

Cardinals should be in the conversation as well. Motte, Carpenter, Furcal, and Jaime Garcia all out for the year

[Bj1133]

That was a little too low

[nsacpi]

Cards have used 19 rookies this year.

[benchguy]

Maybe u should try it

And here we go.

[Braves1976]

Freeman could've walked that AB, he was too aggressive chasing. Oh well.

CJ not looking good tonight, but hopefully he turns it around later a la NYC.

Guys this offense is freezing ICE cold....
