Heyward and Gattis sit? Heyward vs a lefty makes some sense, Gattis I don't get. Might be so he can play tomorrow.

But we need all the offense we can get and Gattis finally looked good last night.

Minor vs Stultz. Loser claims the title of "worst rotation starter in baseball".

 

[Braves1976]

I understand sitting Heyward vs a lefty, but Fredi drives me crazy sitting him vs those he hits while rarely doing so vs those he doesn't hit. Heyward is hitting .286 vs Stults...

 

[CyYoung31]

Also, why is Doumit playing in RF instead of putting him in the easier position in LF and moving Justin over to RF?

Agreed, Doumit has been better in left and Justin is best in right too.

 

[Heyward]

We have a stretch of 17 straight games.

He cant play every game, chill.

 

[yeezus]

Because Fredi is not a smart man.

 

[Tapate50]

Get someone up in the pen!

 

[parkvadawg]

Because Fredi is not a smart man.

It's hard to keep saying it over and over but lord have mercy

 

[tvsportscaster]

Well, that homerun makes it officially a Mike Minor start.

 

[Lville21]

Could Dan Uggla Homer off of 2014 Mike Minor?

 

[Bama9507]

More presents from veteran prescience

 

[Bama9507]

Minor disgusting garbage all around this year

 

[MadduxFanII]

You know, at this point, I say we just let Minor swing away. He's better at that than bunting.

 

[stpeteirish]

Just like Glavine and Maddux, always taking care of the small things that help you win...not.

 

[TURBO]

Might be a better hitter then pitcher at the moment,,,

For the record, I still believe in Minor, he is just struggling mightily right now.

 

[Tapate50]

Lairds average double distance can't be more than like 140 feet.

 

[thethe]

Have to love TLS. Representing himself real well in his rookie year.

 

[Tapate50]

C'mon Beavis.... Put this one outta reach

Oh wait, Mikes on tha bump

 

[TURBO]

Finally some runs.
