GDT #42: 5/18/14: Braves (Floyd) vs Cardinals (Garcia '14 debut)

This seems like a spot in which Schafer will get caught stealing.

Assuming we don't bunt into a double play.
 
I'm an insanely positive person, but this team makes me so mad that it's not even funny. I have to get away from the game sometimes haha Steal on a sacrifice bunt attempt, Jason swings through a relatively high fastball. My Lord, just hit.

Uggla is terrible.....but that play is 100% on Schafer. First he didn't catch a routine fly ball and then he missed the cutoff man (Simmons). Blaming that run on Uggla is nothing more than piling on, imo.

Ha.

Did Dan have a wide open opportunity to shoot Yadi by 20 feet? Yes.

Did he fail to do so because he had no idea where the runner was ? Yes.

Jordan gets plenty of blame , but just because he wasn't the only guy with his head up his ass on one play doesn't mean Dan gets excused.

That play never happens. How was he supposed to instinctively know where the runner was?

Why wasn't someone telling him where the runner was?

It took Schafer making two terrible plays to even put Uggla in a position with the ball.....so, yes, it is 100% on Schafer. And I'm by no means an Uggla supporter and will be fine if we put him on the DL until we are told that he has "figured it out" again next spring.

His eye surgery must have failed because he missed the guy in the white and red jersey lumbering home. Yadi is a big dude tough to miss on the paths and he still f'd it up.

Well, he didn't really have much a chance to look toward home plate during the play on account of the clown show that we had going in center field.
