5/27/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ L.A. Dodgers (Uribe in the 5th spot)

[DirkPiggler]

4-4 with four singles?

The famous Markakykle.

Markykle?

Single to left.
Single to center.
Single to right.
Infield single (extra credit for a bunt).

The Braves would love to trade Johnson if they could find a taker and they'll likely trade Uribe too at the deadline if he improves his stock enough. Though they might keep Uribe should they find a taker for CJ first, doubtful IMO. Further, I am expecting Uribe will start vs most righties and CJ vs most lefties.

I guess that makes more sense then. I just don't like the idea of trading for players in hopes of trading them again.

Todd Cunningham, Fredi. Todd Cunningham. Not Jonny Gomes. Todd Cunningham.

 

[Julio3000]

My gut said no, but upon reflection I think I'd do it if it got Johnson traded quicker.

Uribe's gut says yes.

Too many letters.

There's a reason Gomes has bounced from team to team since 2011.

 

[Julio3000]

Too many letters.

But skip, it has "ham" in it.

Charm and rugged good looks?

 

[sturg33]

I'd put Uribe in front of Markakis.

 

[jsebe10]

To be fair, if Kelly Johnson were available Gomes wouldn't be in there tonight.

So Cunningham isn't a good option?

Gomes fckn blows

Bingo.

 

[Braves1976]

Good AB's by Peterson and Maybin to start.

 

[Russ2dollas]

1St at bat for braves is vs former team with bases loaded...TV movie stuff

Except for the result.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Welp, trade sucks already!

 

[jimsnores]

Eric Gregg strikezone. (RIP)

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Lol this team

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Welp... The result of that inning at least means the Dodger bullpen can dominate this lineup sooner than we originally thought.

 

[UNCBlue012]

This strike zone is rough. Alex better get it as well!

Uribe already doesn't want help though, I see.

 

[jimsnores]

That inning looked like last year's Braves. (With help from the home plate ump....though that last strike might have been in the zone. No way he should have taken it, especially when he'd already established that anything close to the corner was close enough. The last strike to Freeman was the worst. Not even close.)
