8-23-13 Braves at Cards

[Dalyn]

Very good job by Downs. Kept us in the game.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Good damage control from Downs. That could have been much worse.

 

[jsebe10]

I'd take Yadier, that contract, and his bad knees anyday of the week and twice on Sunday over McCann. No doubt.

 

[jsebe10]

Lol poor Terdo. Doesn't have a chance.

 

[mfree80]

Keeping Wainwright in the game is huge.

 

[Bj1133]

Keeping Wainwright in the game is huge.

I'm guessing he will try to go the distance - Mujica is still unavailable

 

[jsebe10]

Christ, Schafer. When was his last hit any way?

 

[Bj1133]

And there that low pitch is called a strike again for Waino

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Right down the middle to Gattis. Yeah he definitely needs more at bats.

That first strike call on Gattis was ball two, it was also lower than the pitch called a ball the pitch before (and lower that the one called a ball on pitch one by Downs to Wainwright). Oh well.

 

[jsebe10]

And there that low pitch is called a strike again for Waino

Yup. As if he needed any help...

I really honestly will never forgive bow tie Schuerlholtz for that abortion of a trade. Never

 

[jsebe10]

I wish our color commentators would get Wainright's dangler out their mouths. Damn.

This team cannot win without Heyward. He's clearly been the MVP of this team. We've been able to survive and thrive when other players have gone down but the Braves have 61 wins in games Jason has started, That means we have only 16 wins in games he hasn't started.

That means we're 61-18 in games Jason has started and 18-32 in games where he wasn't.

My numbers may be off a little, but it's pretty damned staggering.

But it's impossible for the Braves to only win 88 games this season. At least that's what everyone thinks.

 

[drewdat]

I guess roids don't make you more graceful.

 

[jsebe10]

And again, aside from that base running blunder, I'd take him any day over Macc. Dudes a hitting machine.

 

[jsebe10]

Freddie single followed by a Johnson double play

 

[NinersSBChamps]

And again, aside from that base running blunder, I'd take him any day over Macc. Dudes a hitting machine.

There aren't many Braves players I'd take over the Cardinals players. Position for position wise anyway.
