GDT #70. 6/17 7:10 PM EST Phillies(Kendrick) @ Braves(Santana) No Gattis

[Julio3000]

God I miss him.

Straight baller. Wish we had him right now.

 

[CyYoung31]

Marquis Grissom isn't walking through that door. Andruw Jones isn't waddling through that door. ****ing Otis Nixon isn't coming in on a rail.

Adjusted for flavor.

 

[tomahawkchop10]

In favor of whom?

I'd like to see us trade for a 4th outfielder that's better than Schafer. Right now, ya Schafer isn't really an upgrade. But hitting bj 2nd is indefensible.

Dude could glove it, run, throw, and hit. NEVER took a night off.

 

[57Brave]

Pshhhh. That's easy.

ME!!!! Duh!!!

No..,I'd probably entertain the idea of Gattis to LF and shift the other two. Yes Gattis is suspect in LF, but he's even more suspect at the plate. And Upton isn't exactly diving all over the field making catches either. Just gotta improvise and adapt, not beat a dead horse. Fredi is trying to force BJ into getting it going by putting him in the 2 hole.

Name me 3 players that have scored more runs out of the 2 hole in the past two weeks not named Trout

Sounds like Andruw Jones.

Are you really justifying BJ being in the 2 hole?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Santana can't pitch to awful hitters and the Nationals are up 4-0. It's early, but tonight does not look good.

 

[jsebe10]

I didn't say. "Never missed a meal".

 

[57Brave]

Am I the only one here that thinks BJ should not be hitting 2nd?

C'mon guys -- everyone from here to Saskatoon gets it. Lets win a ball game - with the hand we got

 

[CyYoung31]

Andruw > Grissom.

He's fine. We are going to get to Kendrick relatively shortly.

Christ Laird.

 

[UNCBlue012]

3-0 off of a PB. What the heck is wrong with these idiots?

I hate to sound so pessimistic, but jeez. Just play the game fundamentally.

 

[jpack1]

Lard wasn't large enough.

 

[jsebe10]

Andruw > Grissom.

Oh no doubt. Post fat ass Andruw, nobody better in the league.

 

[Runnin]

I'm not mad at BJ. I don't want to see him benched. But batting him 2 should be over.

I agree. He's not going to turn into the guy we need no matter how long he bats there. I'm down on him more for his regular brain farts in CF than his quest for the SO title.

 

[UNCBlue012]

What the heck BJ. Freaking jeez.

4-0 against the Phillies. How are we even allowing this team to score?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

What are you doing out there Santana/Laird/BJ?

 

[jpack1]

BJ should be benched for not catching that then ****ing up the throw home. He awful. ****ing awful.

 

[Braves1976]

Santana and Laird have been a bad combo yet Laird still continues to catch Santana every start.
