GDT: Braves @ Phillies (July 7, 2013)

When did I say anyone said that in my post you quoted?

You were implying that.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Missed a big chance to really slam Kendrick there

 

[thethe]

Bases loaded no outs and get nothing

Ugh, what a joke. That inning is on Simmons. He needs to wake up and realize what he is.

 

[TURBO]

Ugh, what a joke. That inning is on Simmons. He needs to wake up and realize what he is.

What? I light hitting SS with an elite glove.

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Ugh, what a joke. That inning is on Simmons. He needs to wake up and realize what he is.

He thinks he's a homerun hitter. He tries to pull everything.

To be fair though, that was a hard chopper up the middle that found Kendrick's glove.

Best place for him to do that would be in the 8th spot.

 

[thethe]

You were implying that.

I think thats looking into a bit too much. Either way, his hitting skills are often passed over as just luck. Maybe that isn't you but if you don't think thats the case then you aren't paying attention to what has been said on this board.

I agree he won't be an 850 OPS guy (maybe) but I don't think its out of line to think he won't be a 800 type of hitter.

He absolutely needs to be moved there. Put Uggla or Heyward in the leadoff spot and put Johnson in the two hole.

Heyward
Johnson
Freeman
Uggla
Mac
Justin (temporarily)
BJ
Simmons

Glad we are up 3-0 early but thats been my pet peeve about this ballclub. Lack of killer instinct. Could have put them away..didnt.

Same thing regarding the division race. We should be up 10+ games.

Complaining over with..Hold the lead Hudson. Dont continue the trend here lately of our starters blowing early leads.

Which one of found Rollins glove had Kendrick not got it.

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Giants got caught batting out of order

Saw that. Loved it.

He is a great hitter but try's to hit home runs in every at bat. He needs to let up and be what he really is, a contact hitter.

Everything that I've seen has said that he's been lucky with his numbers this season, but overall his offensive output just won't make up for his defensive problems. I've always said I like Chris Johnson as part of a platoon and not an everyday player, which I think he would be best utilized. I won't complain at all though as long as he is putting up an .850+ OPS.

I know. Was just messing around

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Haha Matt!

Hey welcome aboard man. We have missed you. You are one of my favorite Cowboys fans.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

No one said that.

Although, to be fair, he won't have an .850 OPS at season's end.

True. It will be more like .900

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Might have gotten a break there. But after last night, won't complain

 

[TURBO]

Another solid inningfor Timmy

Appreciate it!
