6/10/15: GDT - San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves

[Braves1976]

BTW, Williams Perez could continue to have a lot of success with us given our infield defense is usually Freeman, Peterson, Simmons and Uribe. That is a very strong infield and he has a good sinker. So if he cuts down on the walks he should at least be a solid number five or better going forward.

Maybin better give Seitzer a nice thank you bonus at the end of the season.

I think he has a chance to be a solid 5. I wish he was a little more aggressive though.

He absolutely has to cut down on his walks if he wants to have any longevity at this level either as a starter or as a reliever.

He has gotten more aggressive when in trouble, but I agree he sometimes doesn't seem aggressive enough before hand.

How nice is it that Melvin Upton is not wearing a Braves jersey anymore?

 

[USMA76]

I am sooo thankful Melvin Upton is no longer on the Braves roster. Sucks that we had to trade Kimbrel to close the deal, though.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Melvin, you are no Dan Uggla.

LOL you were quicker on the keyboard than I was.

Nice job Perez after a bunch of pitches in the first two innings.

 

[Braves1976]

Perez is through six with no earned runs so far. Very good inning there.

 

[Garmel]

LOL! Melvin still sucks no mater what his name is.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Send Perez out there for the 7th. Make it a Perez-Johnson/Aardsma-Grilli game.

He has a low pitch count. I'd throw him 8 tonight if he can make it. Get the rest in the pen when you can.

 

[USMA76]

Not flashy and no power but Markakis is, simply put, a solid major league baseball player.

No reason not to send him out for 7th at least, then depending on how that goes maybe start the 8th.

 

[Julio3000]

I love Craig Kimbrel, but missing out on seeing him pitch one inning every few nights is more than worth it to be watching Maybin instead of Melvin and be sitting on $50M.

 

[Garmel]

Keep hitting CJ fifth, Fredi. Makes total sense.

 

[thethe]

Can we please not play CJ anymore?

 

[Braves1976]

Strikeout or DP, yep that is CJ. Having him right behind Markakis makes that an easy DP too..
