GDT: Marlins @ Braves Trade Deadline Day Special

[USMA76]

Jackson looks good when it doesn’t matter

I believe the cliche is "low leverage situation."

[Garmel]

I haven't seen Jackson have that good of control before.

[GeorgiaGirl]

Eh what the heck, let Luke complete this game and save another arm. He can sit for a couple days.

[GeorgiaGirl]

Ender's mad that he might platoon.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Ouch Kurt

[Garmel]

Ouch Kurt

Ouch Ozzie too.

Bad game to try to form an opinion on Allard. I don't expect another game to go particularly well, but I hope he gets a couple more chances.

This little wining streak is REALLY important. I hope we can continue to get on track with a win tomorrow!

[bravesfanMatt]

Congrats Kolby. regardless of your future, you got that first one out of the way.

[Jaw]

Why?

Because he's a Braves prospect, because he was a first round pick, because he may actually recover from the back injury one day, because there may be a mechanical flaw that can be fixed, because he's gotten good results everywhere he has been, because its harsh to judge a guys career over on one game in the rain that probably should have been cancelled, because I just generally root for young players to make it.

I had to work in Alabama today, so Suntrust was on my way to go back to NC tomorrow. Thought I'd get to see Allard's debut. All I have seen is traffic, rain and lightning. Staying within walking distance of the park. Had I known for sure that the weather would be like this instead of what was forecast, I'd have gone home through Tennessee to avoid the ATL traffic. (At least 75 miles further, but no longer, time-wise because of the traffic).

Wound up going. Reversed my curse. (Last time I went was the SF sweep.)

I met a guy who works for AmericasMart (the company mine just merged with) and he offered me free tickets to Braves and Bulldogs’ games every time I’m in Atlanta for work. I still haven’t been to SunTrust Park and I am so stoked about this!!

You didn’t answer my question.

Anyone else think the Braves threw those platoon reports out there just to light a fire under Ender?

I have a feeling Ender is going to be one of those rah rah spark guys in the playoffs and get a few clutch hits/plays like Pagan did for Los Gigantes.. With his skills on both sides of the ball he's one of those players that can really turn the game around with a hustle double, perfect bunt, or an outstanding defensive play to wake up the team. I wish we had a player with his personality and skillset during the 2002-2005 run. Those years we were loaded with decent hitters. Ender definitely would have been the perfect Bobby player to utilize.
