GDT : July 11th, 2013 - Reds at Braves

[CrimsonCowboy]

Error? Does the official scorer need glasses?

 

[BremanFan88]

There's nothing wrong with his norms as a hitter. It's just that his defense is so bad it can't overcome his normal offensive production. If he were just even average defensively nobody would ever say anything bad about him.

A high BABIP is covering up a guy that doesn't walk and strikes out a ton. When that goes back to a normal range his line isn't going to look too good. It would look like Simmons without the defense.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Well **** THAT.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Oh no..............

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

That doesn't look good

Just what we need

 

[jason27nc]

Oh crap!

 

[AUTiger7222]

DAMMIT!

 

[pfiggy]

Well schidt........

 

[Braves1976]

Oh no, we cannot afford to lose Heyward again.

 

[thethe]

Can we just stop fighting about players and realize that Gattis is a golden God?

 

[thewupk]

He's a 280 career hitter.....that's all I expect from him. He's not going to all of a sudden become a 230 hitter, dude knows what he's doing at the plate.

I don't disagree. But he's not as good as he is showing right now. And when he is a 280 hitter he will be an average player at best due to his defense.

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

That doesn't look that bad.

Wonder what the injury is

 

[thethe]

Details of the injury please...I am not watching.

 

[AUTiger7222]

And of course it's Reed Johnson coming in and Joey T still can't get any playing time. Fredi must really hate Joey.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

What are you doing? Seriously there was nobody at the base to take a throw. No reason to slide. Jason can be really dumb sometimes.

 

[BlackwaterPark]

Looks like he said its a cramp. Screw Reed, we want Terdo

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

He was able to walk off mostly under his own power

 

[BremanFan88]

That looked like an oblique.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Why not give Terdo a shot to play here?

 

[The Tariff King]

If heyward loved baseball he would still be in the game.
