5/29/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ SF Giants (Folty vs Huddy)

[UNCBlue012]

Welp, I have not had a shot at one of these since the first couple of weeks of the season, so let's see what we can do here. Hopefully Folty is dominant and we can torch Huddy (sorry!)... he has not been very good lately.

I'm thinking there is a chance we see CJoh in there tonight.

Someone post the lineup once you see it!

@KevinMcAlpin: #Braves vs Huddy: Peterson 4, Maybin 8, Freeman 3, Markakis 9, C Johnson 5, Pierzynski 2, Cunningham 7, Simmons 6, Folty 1

Expecting a huge game from The Todd

Would rather, with the rook on the bump, give the benefit of Uribe's glove—especially since it's not like there's a LHP on the mound for the opposition. But I guess, if the Braves are serious about dumping Lord BABip, they've got to showcase him sometime.

@DOBrienAJC: #Braves Freeman hasn’t homered in 20 games, is 10-for-54 (.185) w/ 2 doub, 5 RBI, 5 BB, 20 K, .267 OBP, .222 slugging in past 14 games.

I still would like to see Bethancourt get more playing time.

I dug Nick at lead off where his power (or lack there of) wasn't as big of deal

I liked him second better due to his lack of power and lack of speed. I prefer someone that has at least some ability to steal batting leadoff. He also did a lot better than I expected batting third so maybe switch him back to third and put Freeman fourth.

That .390 is sexy as hell at leadoff

He only hit .264 with a .361 OBP and .667 OPS batting leadoff.

I like Neck at lead off. If he continues to get on base a ton, it's pretty attractive to have the right side open for J. Peterman and Maybin, who's been looking to punch the ball that way.

If Peterson doesn't start hitting like he was batting 7th, I'd probably drop him back to 7th and try someone else leadoff. I think I'd try Maybin next, though I like his work batting second too.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Hope Huddy carves us up.

 

[Garmel]

CB Bucknor is behind the plate tonight so prepare yourselves.

BTW, when was the last time the Braves DFA'd the same pitcher in the same month? I expect Veal won't last long again after last night.

We're gonna flip Veal.
