    GDT 7-8-14: Braves (Teheran) at Mets (DeGrom)

    Win 9. Lose 9. Just to keep many of the fans buying Rolaids, Tums, liquor, drugs and/or blood pressure meds to get through it...

    GDT 7/7/14: BRAVES (Minor) @ LetsGOes (Dice-K)

    MLB will hardly ever air its dirty laundry in public so any reprimands of the umpires will go unseen by us. Makes this doubly frustrating. On a strangely symbolic note: I watched some of Adam Sandler's 'The Longest Yard' while the Braves flitted this one away. The scene where the crooked...

    Around Baseball

    When was the last time the 'best' team and not the 'hottest' team in baseball won the World Series? The Braves are the poster child for that condition! A's got better for 2014 and the Cubs got stronger for the future. I just hope Wren and Co. can do something smart and amazing to make the...

    GDT: #74 1:35 EST (Santana) Braves @ (Roark) Nats.

    What is the National's 'Magic Number' now?

    GDT #51: May 27, 2014 Red Sox (Lester) @ Braves (Harang), 7:10pm EST

    GDTs this year have made me appreciate football SO much more.

    GDT #50: May 26, 2014 Red Sox (Buchholz) @ Braves (Santana), 1:10pm EST

    BoSox must be the worst team in baseball having lost 10 straight! OMG, hide the knives if they now win 3 or 4 out of 4 of these games against the Braves.

    SO..What will be the name of the new stadium?

    Despite corporate demands, I wish they'd just call it 'Hank Aaron Stadium'. We've got the 'Ted' right now so why not the 'Hank' to honor the greatest Brave ever?

    So whats the answer to our offensive woes ?

    So, later in the year when the bullpen blows a win or the hitters score 7 but the pitcher gives up 8, is it time for the hitters to resent the pitchers?? I think a loss usually feels bad for all of them, a losing streak worse but I imagine most of these guys have played a lot of ball and know...

    As of 05/11 we statistically have the worst offense in baseball

    Surprisingly, we're not finished, though. Of those 4 "offensively challenged" clubs, look at the records: Atl 20-15 tied 1st place SD 17-21 4th place Hou 11-26 last place Cubs 12-23 last place Do the Braves need to get things corrected? Absolutely. I just thought we needed a little sweet to go...

    GDT #27: 5/1/14 Braves at Marlins

    Braves have lost 2 in a row (!!). That level of suckage means that you're not supposed to post anything positive about them.

    Introductions Are In Order II

    My real name is Chris and I live in Savannah with my wife and 3 kids. Both my wife and I are teachers, Middle School Science for her and Band Director for me (though I'm having to masquerade as an elementary general music teacher right now; I hate our school system). I'm 45 and spent 24 of those...

    GDT #15, 4/17/'14: Braves (Wood) vs Philthies (Burnett); Gattis day off

    Wood pitches 8, giving up only 1 run. Wood hits and bunts like a 3 year old. Fredi's decisions aside, if Wood would actually learn how to help himself with that stick of his rather than just holding it provocatively at the plate and stop shooting blanks when he's at bat, the team scores and...

    Thoughts on Jackie Robinson Day

    So the Diamondbacks and Cardinals HAVE to or SHOULD hire a black baseball player? Affirmative action, huh? It couldn't be that those clubs just decided that the best 25 players from their system, free agency, etc. just happen to be every other ethnic persuaion than black and suspicions instantly...

    Greg Walker appreciation thread

    4-3 to start the season. Time to push the panic button. :mad0182: Please don't forget to come back to post how good Walker is when the Braves go on a winning streak, putting up 5 or more runs per game.

    GDT Opening Day - Braves @ Brewers - 3/31/2014

    A loss!!?! And only 161 games left to overcome this travesty. With all of these flaws, this team is headed straight for the cellar... (j/k).

    Regular Season Rants/Discussions - General Info

    If it works, great! If not, there's plenty of games left to try something else. Heyward getting on base and Freeman behind him should give Bossman plenty of good pitches to hit.

    Braves release Freddy Garcia / Sign Aaron Harang

    Has this franchise fallen so far in some minds that we now lament the season before even the first, real game is played? Incredible!
