GDT: 7-29-13 Rockies at Braves, Feeling a little Beachy.

Not going to be the player we thought he was.

I disagree. I think he is still just learning how to hit.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

This is a good Rockies lineup. Tough for any pitcher who hasn't been in the majors in over a year to face.

 

[The Tariff King]

Don't scare me like that Joey T.

 

[thethe]

Terdo looks real comfortable out in LF.

The number 8 hitter is one of the top prospects in baseball.

I know, I was praising him earlier. But he's not at that potential yet. I expect him to improve in the future however.

 

[Braves1976]

With no one on?

It was a 3-2 count and he has a lot of power. Plus Beachy is just back, so yes that's an easy call for me. If the count was not 3-2 it would be different.

I'll take my chances with the 8 hole hitter and pitcher up next in that situation.

The flirting going on, on this board... worry some.

Well then do your damn job and delete all the posts in this thread sans your own.

Way to make him work boys!

We certainly disagree. I would wouldn't even walk Babe Ruth in that situation

It's another one of those Orel convictions.

You may be developing an Orel fixation.

Must be the curse of the infield fly for Simmons

Bet he was a monster in t-ball.

If there were a wall in the sky Simmons would put up monster power numbers.

Nice play Justin!

 

[Dalyn]

Surprised he caught that.

There was already one out, so you rather face Babe Ruth than an 8th hole hitter and pitcher? OK...

I don't intentionally walk anyone with no one on in the second inning.

Beachy hasn't looked bad. His stuff is there. He's struggled with location and has been missing up. Might be overthrowing a bit.

Looks like his curveball location has been a fight. The curve is usually the last pitch back after TJ though.
