GDT: Braves @ Phillies (July 7, 2013, SERIOUSLY)

[BlackwaterPark]

We just arent a good team guys. We have on paper what should be a top 2 or3 team in baseball, but the team just isnt good right now. Undisciplined group of players, and not a team right now

 

[AerchAngel]

Baseball need to look at this crew calls this series. It seems like the fix is on.

BJ Upton signed the richest contract in the history of the Braves franchise and unfortunately he's also the worst free agent signing in the history of the franchise.

Meds is quick off the mound. Pounced on that Ball.

Especially when balls are called strikes

Had either of those guys battled by fouling off those balls that were boarder line strikes they may have gotten a hit. Look at the at bat McCann had.

While it looks that way, Im gonna give it more then half a season before claiming something like that.

 

[TURBO]

How did that get out?

 

[TURBO]

Very nice play by Johnson.

Well I don't want guys swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. You can develop bad habits by doing that.

And Joe is right, a lot of Brown's homers are a result of the ballpark he plays in

After a half season? That is harsh as he has time to turn it around. I can name three who have been worse and they play one or multiple season.

Here is what I don't understand. We traded Yunel because of his bad attitude and a lack of hustle yet we keep BJ.

I love TV but he is tge same guy who said Teheran was not going to be a major leagur pitcher.

Dude Bj's ball was a strike and Johsnons ball rubbed the corner. How are you going to get bad habits by fouling off those pitches? Good hitters stay alive by fouling off those pitches.

Neither were strikes, they both were punished for showing good plate discipline.

 

[sentenza]

Pitch 4 was a ball, too! Horrible call again!
