GDT 8/1/13: Rockies (Bettis) @ Braves (Teheran) 7:10 PM

"Those are area codes." — Chip, on Todd Helton hitting .372 and .358 in two separate seasons

Well, Chip, a lot of numbers are area codes. For instance, 224 is a suburban Chicago area code, but nobody's messing themselves over that batting-average.

Pretty sure he doesn't know the difference between them and zip codes.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

What do you guys think of this Bettis kid? He's got a good fastball and has shown a good slide piece as well. I haven't really seen a decent third pitch though.

 

[Dalyn]

Feels like it should be 18-14.

My bet is that he'll be a solid pitcher.

 

[Dalyn]

My bet is that he'll be a solid pitcher.

 

[mfree80]

Yeah they suck. I like that chick they have that does the pre and post game shows though.

Indeed. Doesn't make up for the play by plays guys though. They are unbearable.

 

[jpx7]

He doesn't have any hoes in the 224.

You'd think he'd have at least one in the village of Cary.

[CyYoung31]

Thetheran is dealing tonight.

 

[Dalyn]

Hell. Give him a hit. What the plunk.

Well, Chip, a lot of numbers are area codes. For instance, 224 is a suburban Chicago area code, but nobody's messing themselves over that batting-average.

Somewhere Chip has a notebook with a page headed "AREA CODES THAT COULD BE BATTING AVERAGES (GOOD)"

Right next to it is one headed "AREA CODES THAT COULD BE BATTING AVERAGES (BAD)."

He just muffed the delivery.

I mean, the dude studies his craft. He does his homework. Undortunately, he sucks at his job anyway. He should do what his old man seemed to be doing--just take a couple of pops and wing it. Or just break the llelo out early.

 

[TURBO]

Heybeast!!

 

[thethe]

He does not like baseball at all.

Well, he just didn't like that baseball.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Every time I see Heyward go yard, I hope Bill Shanks is there to throw it back.

 

[Dalyn]

Who is that strange black man rubbing his love all over the baseball field?

 

[thethe]

I hope Liberty opens up the purse strings to keep this team together.

 

[Julio3000]

That was just a lazy fly ball.

A really lazy fly ball. Shiftless, too.

[CyYoung31]

Not going to be the player we thought he was.
