GDT pt. 2 6-28-14 (Game 2 of DH): Braves (Hale) at Philadelphia (O'Sullivan)

[USMA76]

Between stellar defense and two bases clearing hits--have yourself a day Tommy LaStella!

Spoke too soon, I guess.

 

[Heyward]

I don't see Bethencourt staying in Atlanta though. At least not anytime soon. Only way he gets any chance is if Gattis lands on the DL.

This year, no.

Next year, probably the backup to Gattis with Laird a FA.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

He's played like it until today

Yeah he was in a rut. He has responded well though.

 

[Tapate50]

Varvaro has been solid as a rock this year and appears to be moving up the pecking order.

 

[Tapate50]

He's played like it until today

Just a rut. Hell they all get em. Anyone can see he makes tons of contact and they weren't falling.

 

[USMA76]

Not terribly impressed with DeRosa in the booth. It seems he vetted his taking points for this game during the earlier broadcast on SportsSouth and is just repeating them tonight.

That said, I liked him when he played for the Braves. It may be that he's going out of his way to appear impartial as far as Atlanta is concerned.

Justin was upset after that

 

[USMA76]

I don't want to jinx him (as I did earlier with LaStella) but JUp's defense has been pretty good lately.

 

[Heyward]

Good work by Anthony.

 

[TURBO]

Really good outing for Varvaro.

 

[thewupk]

surprisingly no K's from Vavaro. He's been excellent this year.

 

[USMA76]

The Douminator!!

 

[thewupk]

DOUMIT POWAH!

 

[Heyward]

Doumit!

Would be nice to get out of this game and not have to use Kimbrel or Walden.

 

[MadduxFanII]

Ryan Doumit's eyes freak me out. They're like pools of darkness so deep no light can ever escape.

He looks like the kid Ralphie beats up in "Christmas Story"....

 

[thewupk]

CJ is back to BABIPING

CJ is back to BABIPING

It's the only way he has any value whatsoever. Let's pray it continues.

Yeah he has a 373 BABIP. And still a sub 100 wrc+ hitter. Pretty incredible.
