GDT: August 18th Nationals at Braves

[sentenza]

bad angle to see it!

 

[Hawk]

Definitely close. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the 3B angle.

 

[Heyward]

Now we've got to try to figure out the Mets. They've been tough on us.

For sure, we do avoid Harvey though so that's nice.

Looks like we will get Niese and Wheeler.

 

[zitothebrave]

Screen grabs aren't always telling. Looks to me like Harper broke his wrist, which is usually the end game for a call like that. He also showed the 3B ump the procup. Usually the death nail

 

[Hawk]

I think it's fairly safe to assume that the umpire would not have made that call if the game were being played in Washington.

 

[Bye Week]

Hate to see them throwing this one away. Need to win series if best record is the goal.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Have we even faced Harvey this year?

Possibly not. It's nice to pretend umpires aren't fools

 

[zitothebrave]

Have we even faced Harvey this year?

Yes we got him and Wheeler either back to back or in a double header.

 

[Braves1976]

Have we even faced Harvey this year?

Yes, he pitched in Atlanta in that DH the Mets swept us.

Doubleheader

 

[Braves1976]

Yes we got him and Wheeler either back to back or in a double header.

It was the latter, Harvey in game one and Wheeler in game two of that DH Mets sweep.

 

[Hawk]

Possibly not. It's nice to pretend umpires aren't fools

But they do value their lives. Somewhat.

It's the nationals, their home games sound lilke the other team's road games. Fairweather fans.

Not defending Gnad fans, but I feel like this was the line on Atlantans for a while.

Enter infield fly-gate:

Only was really the problem back when Cubs, Yanks or Sox came to town. Braves had more of a rep as a non-caring fanbase. Washington is worse than Atlanta in many ways to be honest. Because like Atlanta it's a big transplant base, but unlike Atlanta they're a new Franchise.

 

[Hawk]

From Kevin McAlpin:
Bryce Harper (on the atmosphere this weekend): "I love these fans. I really do. They're absolutely unbelievable for their team."

 

[Nerfherders]

So in the last nine games against the Nats we went 7-2 with a +9 run differential. Seven 1-run games. It feels like the reverse of fortunes from last year.

1. Great win, especially considering the 'B' team was in!
2. Teheran is really learning how to pitch rather than just throw.
3. Could have swept them this weekend; hope Soriano continues having blown saves.
4. Great that we can savor this win tonight as well as tomorrow.
5. Sorry for the doubters but Bryce swung; his bat broke the plane. (Why would anyone over here even question it????)

Wonder who Harper yelled at in the stands? Some fan was getting on him good right after Werth turned him away from the ump and he started walking into the dugout. Would love to know what was said!

Yeah I saw him point a finger at a fan and say something. He's an angry guy..lol.
