GDT #43: 5/19/14 Brewers (Peralta 4-2) @ Braves (Minor 1-2), 7:10

Or their pitching is bad. Either way the last two games have been awesome offensively. About time.

Their pitching is number two in the game. No sir.

 

[Julio3000]

My God this game was needed! Now, let's have about 30 more of these straight...

But with all seriousness, it begins with the man who went 3-4 leading off with 2 SB... Jason is the key to this offense.

With Justin and Freddie both hitting, Jason being on base = runs.

I was about to comment on Justin. I know he's streaky, but I just want to say how much I love having him on the team. He's a frustrating player at times, but he is so good.

He's had his facepalm moments, sure, but he's been really effing good this year. I'd like to see him get his due.

Reds beat Nationals in 15. Phillips and Hamilton both made game-saving catches, Frazier hit two-run homer for margin of victory. JJ Hoover even played a big role.

You forgot the most important piece of information: what's their magic number now?

He's a really good player. It's unbelievable how much hate he gets.

How in the hell did I forget to import this?

Justin continues to destroy lefties. 393/528/964 - 1492

 

[thewupk]

Also Freeman and Upton are 7th and 9th in baseball in WRC+. Not bad, especially for that bum Justin.

 

[Julio3000]

It's the inexplicable gripe of this season. It boggles the mind.

Well, I guess there is the fact that he lacks grit.

We might have our new David Ross.

 

[Julio3000]

We might have our new David Ross.

Perhaps, now that he's established that he can, indeed, hit.

I wonder if having Overbay able to work out of the 'pen for them eases the sting of having cut Don Juan in ST?

He suffers from a form of the "Andruw's smile" argument although J. Upton seems more sullen on the field. It's a style over substance gripe. I don't know the stats, but it does seem that he takes a lot of called strikes and gripes a little about it, which can rub some folks the wrong way. When he's dialed in, he's golden.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Over the last week:

Jason Heyward (8-21) - .381
Freddie Freeman (9-22) - .409 with 2 HR, 7 RBI, 2 BB.
Andrelton Simmons (9-24) - .375 with a 2B, 3B and 2 RBIs.

He also seemingly swings right through tons of meatballs right down the pipe.

He suffers from being physically gifted and somewhat dark both in mien and complexion.
