6/11/15: GDT - San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves

It's always nice to watch when Freddie goes the opposite way.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I love this lineup so much more than last year.

 

[Braves1976]

Freeman took yesterday off so he's ready today.

 

[Julio3000]

nice

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man, I absolutely love Markakis too.

Thought of something: That big fight between the Braves and Padres in 1984 was also in a rain-delayed game. Just sayin....................

Yeah, I remember that one. It was a doozy.

I use to have that one on VHS, most of it is on youtube now I think. It was last I checked anyway.

If Middlebrooks didn't like the location he shouldn't have swung at it. I'm really beginning to dislike this Padres team.

 

[UNCBlue012]

There's two K's for Julio, but he's missing pretty badly on some pitches.

Also, I absolutely love that this team grinds out at-bats, but if I see another 3-1 count turned into a garbage outcome, I'm going to kill someone.

I agree so much with this. I can understand if your a power hitter like Justin Upton. That 3-1 swing might be a homer but Jace's job is to get on base not hit for power.

I'm fine with everything Julio has done today so far outside of that walk in the first. That set-up the bloop RBI hit, I didn't mind hitting Kemp to send a message at all.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Well, that's striking out the side nonetheless!

 

[Braves1976]

Haha.

Jace rarely does that though. He made a mistake and he'll learn from it.

 

[Tapate50]

I think we can close the book on J. Upton coming back here after that. He was the last one back in the dugout after the scrum. Still jawing I think?

Yea, but it seems to be drama queen day so far in this thread with multiple posters whining about Julio and Jace so far.

 

[Garmel]

Julio better be careful with his at-bat especially if there are two outs already.

I hate it because he would be the PERFECT player in this lineup. I can't think of many active players that I'd want more. Nonetheless, I'd be ecstatic if we could get someone like Lucroy. It's been mentioned a million times, but I just think of how solid this lineup would be.
