GDT #19 4/21/14: Marlins (Koehler) @ Braves (Teheran), 7:10

[Braves1976]

Walden reminded me of Hale yesterday, Hale got no defense but he still pitched great. He's the reason that game went into extra innings.

Who else here thought Uggla was gonna mess that up?

Raises hand

Pinch hit for Uggla. Let them announce him and then call him back. For Schlosser.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

And people actually think Carpenter should get the 8th over Walden.

I closed my eyes before it got to Uggla.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I can understand not having range, but Uggla just sucks so bad at the basics of playing second base. Great to see Walden pitch out of it though.

 

[USMA76]

Seriously, why don't we just give Uggla a week off and play Pena?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

...how many times have we seen Uggla make a terrible defensive play and then redeem himself with an out at the plate?

Add another one.

 

[TURBO]

That was good approach by Dan.

 

[The Tariff King]

Too bad we fired Glen Hubbard before Uggla got here. He made Giles and Kelly into serviceable 2b.

 

[TURBO]

The Bear is a walking machine.

 

[drewdat]

Too bad we fired Glen Hubbard before Uggla got here. He is still a better option at 2B.

Fixed

 

[USMA76]

I told my wife that Gattis' nickname was "Oso Blanco" and she responded with why is he called "Eight White?" Spanish isn't her strong suit.

 

[Braves1976]

Hope Kimbrel is sharp tonight as we only have a one run lead this time.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

That was good approach by Dan.

You are right. He didn't commit an error!

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Kimbrel Time!

Hale did not pitch great. Bad defense hurt him but he was also lucky not to give up more runs. He doesn't fool anybody.

No. But I do believe Pena should sub in for him defensively here in the 9th.

Craig will blow the save. We will bring Avilan in and he allowed 2 more runs. Fredi let's Avilan get the last out. Braves walk off in the 9th and Avilan picks up his team leading 4th win while his ERA hits 7 something.
