maybe you will explain. Why was Gattis hit on purpose?

Laird got smacked in the head from Dickerson's backswing. Carpenter was pitching and after Laird left the game Gattis came into catch. Next pitch Carpenter drills Dickerson. Carpenter is ejected and so is Walt Weiss because he was mad at Carpenter. Varvaro accidentally hit another Rockies player. I believe a ball grazed his jersey. Gattis was hit in the top of the 9th for revenge.
 
I am actually pretty sure Gattis called for the HBP. I doubt Fredi did. Probably in too much pain from that blow to the head.
 
Didn't see the game. Was there any final news on Laird? Did it look bad? (My always overdramatic parents said he was knocked out motionless on the ground.) Chance he'll be put on the 7-day concussion DL?

No concussion. Only thing at risk is postgame spread.
 
There is little doubt the Braves are reflecting the lack of heart that the majority of the locker room reflects. There is no Glavine, no Chipper, no Murphy, no one that will stand up and be counted about this crap. Gattis just shrugged off being hit, which you'd expect. Where is the righteous anger.

Terry Pendleton once walked off the field when Marvin Freeman refused to hit a batter in retaliation in a game in Cincy. Bobby Cox praised him. More and more, I think Pendleton needs to be managing this team.

Sadly, todays game has defined the '14 Braves. It needs a manager with fire and veteran leadership in the clubhouse. It has neither
 
we hit them, then they hit us. isn't that they way its supposed to be? By not starting a fight after they hit us did we show a lack of courage or fire or whatever? Or did it just end they way it was supposed to?

I don't remember Cox's team's getting into many fights; really few and far between. Everybody's on Fredi's butt for not fighting. Not sure it was necessary here.

Look at the bright side, everybody. This road trip has been a nightmare. Not necessarily because we went 3-4 but we lost to two AAAA ballclubs.

not hitting bad pitching, extreme hitters ballparks, very disappointing. I thought this trip might jumpstart the offense. Didn't. Wonder if its ever going to.
 
So they hit Dickerson bc his backswing hit Laird? That doesnt make any sense, clearly not intentional. Do teams believe it is (Machado?)

This team is unwatchable. There needs to be a shakeup. I don't what that entails, but this **** is getting old.
