6/20/15: GDT - NY Mets @ Atlanta Braves

[Braves1976]

Thta seems to be a recurring theme with him.

I like the kid, he can pitch IMO and seems a good kid too. He has a really good sinker with good movement and his change-up when he has it going is very good at times too. Plus more groundball pitchers like Perez make a lot of sense given our infield defense.

Wow, that was TREMENDOUS baserunning by AJ.

 

[Braves1976]

That'll work. Good start to this inning.

 

[Garmel]

LOL! Bull**** hits with bad Mets defense.

 

[thethe]

The Braves are the essence of a 500 team. Will look good for a few games and then be bad afterwards. STill a lot of fun though.

 

[thethe]

EURY!!!

I kind of like this kid.

 

[Runnin]

How are those Mets fans in CF enjoying it now?

[Braves1976]

Good job Perez. He deserved that after that close call going against him at first his last AB. I still like Perez because he can steal very good and if not a starter a good platoon candidate vs lefties and 4th outfielder.

 

[Braves1976]

Perez can still steal second, he has plenty of speed.

 

[thethe]

Braves have 4 of the top 60 players in the MLB with the most pitches per plate appearance (Markakis/Maybin/Jace/Freeman [in order]).

I love this philosophy.

 

[Julio3000]

Perez can still steal second, he has plenty of speed.

Huh?

/Chip & Keith Hernandez

 

[thethe]

Oh man, just got in enough against Jace.

Nice RBI kid.

 

[Braves1976]

Man, Peterson turned on that very good. Too bad not a hit but at least got the run home.

 

[Julio3000]

Nice job, Jace.

 

[Braves1976]

Perez needs to steal here.

 

[thethe]

Perez needs to steal here.

LIeterally no reason not to.

With a competent pen, this team is at least 39-29 now instead of 33-35.

 

[thethe]

Seriously, that is bad managing. You HAVE to steal Perez there. The absolute worst thing that can happen is that you have Maybin LEADING OFF THE NEXT DAMN INNING!

Thats a bit aggressive but I think we are right there with the Mets for first place.It makes you curious to see what happens come July when the reinforcements come in.
