GDT 8/21/13: Braves (Wood) @ Mets (Niese) 1:10 PM - Dark Wood Rising

[Dalyn]

In ONE INNING, Fredi left Janish in, called a bunt with two strikes, burned our backup infielder (to hit) who also can't hit, and left Schafer in with the bench monster Gattis waiting. One inning.

 

[sentenza]

With all these injuries I hope we can hold these 15 games for the next 2 weeks or so!
Because the Braves look more and more like the Gwinnett Braves!
I'm a little nervous now!

But we're in first place.

 

[Dalyn]

That does not sound good.

 

[stpeteirish]

Now he leaves Schafer in vs a lefty, this is horrible managing.

really is. Its like Fredi won't hit for Janish because...well I don't know. Either he actually thinks Janish can hit or he's afraid he'll run out of players in the 15th inning. That's all I've got, and it ain't much.

 

[bravebonebook]

This team is like a M*A*S*H unit this year. I can't recall a team with so many season ending injuries, DL trips, nagging injuries and just general abuse as these Braves. I really hope Heyward isn't hurt too bad or out too long.

How are they winning with all these injuries. Man, I hope this Cinderella Ball can keep going and 12:00 doesn't strike until after the World Series!!

 

[sentenza]

Walden for the 7th?
will he prob. go 2 innings?

But he STILL burned the backup infielder...

Yea, that was embarrassingly bad managing. It's also why I've said it's hard for me to see this team winning the World Series. I believe we have the talent, but I don't believe Fredi has what it takes.

 

[sentenza]

Heyward was hit in right jaw, seen by Mets doctors, will be transported to local hospital for X-ray and further examination

 

[chopdrew]

And what the **** is wrong with Justin Upton? Is he not even available to PH today?

 

[sentenza]

Why can't we lead with 7-0 after innings like the Cards?
These close games are not good for my and the teams heart!

 

[BlackwaterPark]

I think the Braves need to start using a different hotel in NY....

I heard that, doesn't sound good. I hope he doesn't have a broken jaw but I'm afraid that is what it is.

 

[chopdrew]

Well, one of these next couple guys is gonna have to do it, bc god knows bj isnt going to...

 

[chopdrew]

I think the Braves need to start using a different hotel in NY....

word, they must be staying in that haunted one, like in ghostbusters.

 

[Braves1976]

Fredi also cost Wood a shot at winning again...

 

[Teheran_49]

certainly doesn't make sense to pass on Ryan Roberts and claim that guy.

Yeah WTF is FW thinking?

 

[Dunit24]

I read through this thread thinking we were losing. Just looked up the score and its tied. This board amazes me.

Hope Heyward is okay. Obviously I didnt see it, but Im not only worried about him physically but now mentally. We'll see.

 

[sentenza]

I heard that, doesn't sound good. I hope he doesn't have a broken jaw but I'm afraid that is what it is.

I hope it's only for precaution! Hope nothing is broken and he has no concussion!
Hope he can play again in 2-3 days!
