I missed Thurs' sh*t show.

Did KJ get reinjured??

Gotta keep Jonny Tats sharp.

 

[chop2chip]

Starting Gomes over Kelly is asinine with a RHP.

 

[Heyward]

Gomes vs a righty with KJ back makes no sense, even Todd.

 

[Julio3000]

Starting Gomes over Kelly is asinine with a RHP.

What, Jonny's .499 OPS vs. RHP this season doesn't do it for you? Kelly's at .831, fwiw.

 

[chop2chip]

That Mets starting lineup has to be the ugliest thing I have ever laid eyes upon.

 

[Julio3000]

We've got to beat this lineup + Bartolo the Hutt.

 

[Garmel]

Wood is going to have to go deep if we are to have any chance in this game.

 

[Garmel]

Gomes' OPS vs. RHP just went up.

 

[Braves1976]

Gomes' OPS vs. RHP just went up.

Colon is one of the few righties Gomes has historically hit very well.

 

[Garmel]

Colon is one of the few righties Gomes has historically hit very well.

I was making a joke. Gomes got on by getting hit by a pitch.

 

[Braves1976]

I was making a joke. Gomes got on by getting hit by a pitch.

Oh, I figured. I just thought I'd add that as I kinda wonder if Colon didn't hit him on purpose. Maybe he didn't but I wouldn't be surprised. Didn't Gomes homer off him not long ago?

 

[Braves1976]

Now that David Carpenter is with the Nats, maybe we'll get to see Uribe take him deep again in our favor for a change.

 

[Garmel]

Yeah, Gomes got him earlier this year.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

John Mayberry exists in the MLB to hurt Atlanta.

 

[Garmel]

Wood has given up 3 runs already to a AAAA lineup.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Cool beans.

 

[CyYoung31]

What kind of name is Dilson?

 

[Braves1976]

Wood has given up 3 runs already to a AAAA lineup.

Mayberry hits lefties well though. That was a bad pitch call and location, that was a 90 mph 4-seam over the middle again (similar pitch Flores hit out).
