GDT #29: 5/3/14 Giants (Vogelsong) at Braves (Teheran) Operation: End Losing Streak

[bravesnumberone]

BTW, Braves hitters. That's what the hell you do to a pitch over the middle of the plate. Oh wait....we don't swing at those, I forgot.

 

[stpeteirish]

This team just cannot lay off bad pitches, so everyone pitches us out of the zone. We have to just go ahead and take the walks. But the problem with that is you need 4 of them to score. Have to get some hits with men on from those walks.

 

[stpeteirish]

jeez, five runs in the series, five solo HR's.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Anxious to see how we squander an opportunity, so hopefully we'll get a couple runners on here.

HOF managing by Bochy here. Going for the throat in the 7th with his BP. Love it.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Automatic.

This isn't just a slump, this is the way the team is. Sorry. We're results oriented and haven't paid attention due to the fact the team has been winning because of an elite performance by the pitching staff.

Vogelsong was one of the worst pitchers in the game coming into tonight...Lincecum wasn't much better...and we made them both look like a reincarnation of Catfish Hunter

It's a slump. They go through these little spurts every season where nothing goes our way, but they will play through it... Just gotta be patient.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Fckin Carpenter.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Looks like I didn't miss anything again tonight.

 

[jsebe10]

And the fckn walks continue from the bullpen.

 

[cajunrevenge]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED

Fckin Carpenter.

Carpenter is actually a pretty good reliever despite the walks

But you can't be walking Gregor Blanco with the top of their order coming up. Pagan just missed a homer.

 

[bravesnumberone]

3-4-5 coming up.

One of Blanco's only attributes is that he is good at taking a walk. 15% on the year and 11.7% for his career.

Good job Carp

It's a 162 game season.

Everyone's in a slump.

The bullpen will take care of itself.

Take off your rose colored glasses, this team has some serious issues and legit concerns most on here don't want to admit to.

Fine, I'm not a homer. Just a basketball coach who is a competitor, wants to win every game, so what do I know.

Fun fact. We aren't going to win every game.
