GDT#7, 4/8/'14: Braves (Harang) vs. Mutts (Colon) 7:05 PM EST [HOME OPENER]

What happen for the ones not watching?

Fly ball to almost straight away center and BJ didn't go after it and Justin couldn't get to it.

What a POS!!

 

[bravesnumberone]

I'm just waiting for someone to defend it.

 

[TURBO]

WTH Justin ran twice as far as BJ. What was BJ doin on that play?

 

[Dalyn]

Why are people blaming BJ? He was being called off the whole way.

 

[jpack1]

Unbelievable that the braves gave that guy 75 million dollars. Frank Wren's big free agent signings have sucked and I like FW as a GM. The guy loafs around the yard and can't hit his weight. TERRIBLE. BENCH HIM.

Inexcusable much less defendable. He needs to be on the damn pine. Him and his money chasing homie in RF are sporting 7 for 62 at the damn plate anyway.

 

[Braves1976]

That's the second run against Schlosser that was due to bad defense (Uggla missed a DP ball in Washington). He's looked good though, just not getting support defensively and a bad break on that bloop hit too.

Fly ball to almost straight away center and BJ didn't go after it and Justin couldn't get to it.

Okay. BJ was actually a little in RC and the popup started in LC and drifted in the wind. Still Schafer would've caught it.

Fly ball to almost straight away center and BJ didn't go after it and Justin couldn't get to it.

No offense, but it was nowhere close to straight away center. It was BJ's ball to catch as it was just to the center field side of left center, and he did give up on it... but, saying that it was almost directly straight away is extremely misleading.

It was essentially in no mans land out there, and even if BJ was going full speed, I doubt he gets to it, either, IMO.

 

[AUTiger7222]

If there were ever a player that deserved to be called lazy it's B.J. Upton.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I hope that's sarcasm. He's the freaking centerfielder. And if Justin was calling that before running that far, he's a moron.

 

[jpack1]

The CF controls the OF. If you have ever played any OF or baseball you know the CF controls it.

Really? Doubt BJ gets to it? OK.

 

[jsebe10]

They've scored two runs and the balls that were hit have gone a combined 350 ft.

 

[thethe]

Our offense is offensive.

 

[AUTiger7222]

Okay. BJ was actually a little in RC and the popup started in LC and drifted in the wind. Still Schafer would've caught it.

Ball was moving back towards center and BJ is the damn centerfielder. Not to mention that it was in the air FOREVER!!!! It should have been a routine fly out and BJ's lazy ass just gave up on it.

 

[Dalyn]

Bullpen breaks the streak. There is no team I hate losing to more than the Mets.

 

[jsebe10]

Make that 375 on Murphy's "screamer"...

 

[AUTiger7222]

Now Luis Avilan is hurt. Great, just great. I'm not watching this crap anymore.
