Getting An Early Start - GDT 10/4/2013: LA (Zack Stinky) @ ATL (Mike MAJOR!) Game 2

[Heyward]

This explains a lot.

You do know the best move would be to put Gattis at catcher and BJ in CF, Heyward in RF, Upton in LF, right?

I agree that's the best alignment.

 

[Dalyn]

Yep. Go with Wood here. Save Carpenter in case you need a big K later.

 

[Gary82]

Really wanted Freddie to put this game away. Oh well, there's your lead! HOLD EM.

 

[Braves1976]

Some blogger thinking it was bad managing just means it was probably good.

That's the best you got? It's overused man and I could respond citing EJ's track record but won't. If you want to believe that wasn't bad managing by both sides, fine by me. Besides, ll I care about is us winning anyway.

Maybe walden to finish the 8th if we don't want Kimbrel going more than 3 outs.

Sounds good. Nut ey have to absolutely, positively NOT let the leadoff guy on. That's a must.

 

[Gary82]

Maybe walden to finish the 8th if we don't want Kimbrel going more than 3 outs.

I don't have much faith in Walden.

 

[Heyward]

How many fat pitches can Upton miss before he bombs one?

He's had some great, great at bats.

Working the counts.

He's due eventually, but hard to complain too much about him.

 

[Enscheff]

Or start with Wood and watch him get the side out with ease.

Nope. I'm going with every platoon advantage I can get here. If they choke this away the series is over

 

[BlackwaterPark]

Wow risky

 

[The Tariff King]

Ugh. Fredi going with Laird...

 

[Five]

I'm guessing he prefers the Duracell Chuck.

I responded with, who boo's santa, nuff said

 

[thethe]

Why the hell would you take Gattis out? I can't stand Freddi's alleigance to Laird.

 

[nsacpi]

Putting Laird in there is an unnecessary risk.

 

[Mrs. Meta]

Of course Gerald Laird

 

[emk418]

Why the hell would you take Gattis out? I can't stand Freddi's alleigance to Laird.

I agree with the move for defense but now we don't have a backup catcher.

 

[jsebe10]

See, this I don't understand. Evan was due up first next inning. Catch him so he can hit and replace him in the ninth.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Dear lord at the managing this game.

 

[Dalyn]

I agree that's the best alignment.

So you agree Fredi made a mistake here?

 

[NYCBrave]

Putting Laird in there is an unnecessary risk.

Exactly. A move Bobby would never have made. Is Laird that much better of a receiver?

 

[jcc03004]

Who just 4 months back ever thought that the man on the mound in the 8th in the most important game of the year would be David carpenter
