GDT: 7/31/14...10:10 PM EST Start...Braves (No Heyward) vs. Dodgers

Good for Gosselin, but... dang it what the... I was about to say now even if Teheran moves him up BJ cannot hit lefties, esp. not one as great as Kershaw. But forget that as a DP ends the inning. Now we don't even clear BJ...
 
Who's ****ing call was that?
If Fredi, fire him right now, mid-game.

That is Fredi for ya, he will call plays like that but refuses to allow Schafer to steal second before bunting him up. For example, last night you had a situation where the catcher for LA is poor at throwing out runners. So instead of bunting Pena first pitch you have Schafer steal second. Then bunt him to third, instead we bunt him up to second and he gets picked off thinking about stealing third.
 
Well, as if 1 run wasn't enough, two runs and this ballgame is over and fears will be realized, the Braves will be swept in Tinseltown.

Wow, BJ's first hit vs a lefty since... Well shoot I can't remember. He's now got his batting average back up to .165 against them.

BJ then steals and falls off the bag again and is tagged out. Lovely.
