GDT 8/17/2013: Nationals @ Braves

[Gary82]

Both teams bullpens are going to be worn out.

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Hate to say it but I actually would've pinch-hit BJ for Schafer there...

BJ has already been in the game if I remember correctly.

 

[Garmel]

Well, I guess we pitch Avilan until his arm falls off.

 

[The Tariff King]

BJ already pinch hit earlier. We are out of pinch hitters.

Oh ok wow. lol

Had no idea Fredi had any faith in BJ.

And man with Teheran pitching tomorrow probably going 5-6 innings at most, I hope our bullpen is ok.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

You can tell by the crowd, Harper is hitting

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Who cares?! Saying he needs to pick his **** up isn't that big of a deal, because he did .

I was one that said he needed to improve , and he did. We weren't going anywhere with his choppers. I guess seeing better pitches in the lead off spot has worked.

That right/wrong crap you brought over from scout gets old. We are all rooting for the best for the TEAM.

Everyone does it. We all are right about some players and wrong about others. I've always said if I'm wrong about a player and it benefits the Braves then that's a good thing. Sometimes it helps to laugh at yourself.

 

[Gary82]

Love it when we retire Harper.

 

[rico43]

Huge out.

 

[Braves1976]

Avilan will have to bat in bottom half. Simmons, Avilan and Gosselin are due up I think.

 

[Gary82]

whew.

 

[Krovahn]

Great inning!

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Gosselin is gonna walk off!

 

[Garmel]

Avilan only had 8 pitches that inning.

 

[Gary82]

What a year for Avilan. We've really needed someone to step up with EOF and Venters on the DL>

 

[Krovahn]

Avilan will have to bat in bottom half. Simmons, Avilan and Gosselin are due up I think.

Simmons 2B, Avilan Sac, Gosselin Walk Off sac fly? Sounds good to me.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Gotta get on Simmons

 

[Braves1976]

Simmons 2B, Avilan Sac, Gosselin Walk Off sac fly? Sounds good to me.

I was thinking the same, sounds perfect to me!

 

[NYCBrave]

Who is our emergency catcher???

 

[The Tariff King]

Who is our emergency catcher???

Fredi

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

UMP doesn't want us to win
