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

[tvsportscaster]

I hope the Braves are watching the Cardinals this weekend. They don't give away any at-bats are always working the pitcher and more times than not it develops into something. Just have some competitive at bats. Prime example, last inning, Justin is ahead 2-0 in the count and lets the guy off the hook. You don't have to swing 2-0 unless it's your pitch.

Ah, so your argument is that he shouldn't have been watching the play in front of him. Got it.

No, it was just sarcasm. A new thing the kids are doing these days

 

[Tapate50]

Freddie still doing work.

 

[The Tariff King]

I'd pinch hit for CJ here, would rather the chance of BJ getting a single or K'ing than CJ hitting into a DP.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

This lineup construction is just wrong. It should look like...
2. Simmons
3. Freeman
4. Upton J.
5. Heyward
6. Johnson
7. Gattis

That should be what the middle looks like. Need to fill the lead off role and figure out how to get rid of BJ and/or Uggla.

With who ?

Lucky for you, we didn't have to see BJ and we still got a K!

 

[Tapate50]

Cj chased at least two pitches out of the zone

 

[The Tariff King]

CRAP. Freddie would've likely been dead to rights.

 

[PurpleBrave]

How do you not send the runner? Come on

 

[USMA76]

Anyone but Freeman running there and this game is tied...ugh.

 

[UNCBlue012]

DANG IT. Anyone else is safe there haha Freddie is so slow!

 

[The Tariff King]

Freddie was running on contact... but it was Freddie running come on.

 

[Tapate50]

Not if dan was the relay man....

 

[tomahawkchop10]

Gattis time.

 

[The Tariff King]

Molina setting up way outside... afraid he might frame one a foot outside.

 

[PurpleBrave]

Freddie was running on contact... but it was Freddie running come on.

It would have been close, even the Cards announcers were surprised...but maybe that's what they wanted

 

[drewdat]

Gattis shouldn't get anything to hit here with 1st open.

 

[The Tariff King]

lol they're IBB'ing Evan. Throw fastballs shoe high and he'll swing at all.

 

[USMA76]

Shafer will get the chance to redeem himself...not holding my breath.
