6/15/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ Boston Red Sox

[Heyward]

Uribe should have three hits today, might want to offer him a one year deal for next year now. I'd even consider a team option with small buyout with it if he wanted.

Same, gonna be hard to realistically upgrade 3B next year over Uribe.

LF and C is where Hart needs to look at this winter.

We gotta fix the bullpen first.

We gotta fix the bullpen first.

Obviously thats the biggest concern, with any decent pen we're in 1st by 2-4 games.

Not exactly sure what they can do there.

They do have some internal options with Viz, Withrow, Simmons, McKirahan, and others.

But need to use some money on some reliable BP arms.

Huge inning by Johnson

Given the way our BP is floundering, I wish we'd start getting those "internal options" to the major leagues sooner rather than later. What's worse than what we're currently seeing?

Viz will be ready after the break sometime, as will McK, not sure on Withrow though.

 

[yeezus]

I'd seriously have Gomes bunt vs. a righty with a man on first.

Figures someone from the Red Sox would complain about the pace of play rules

 

[Heyward]

Thought Ortiz got that one.

Sounded flush off the bat.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Picking up a game on Washington and New York.

gNats yes; Mets game still very much in doubt.

 

[Garmel]

Simmons' hand.

[Heyward]

Thats routine without the hand injury.

 

[Braves1976]

Simmons looked hurt on that throw.

Thought those Canucks won already. Me bad.

Papi's been bitching about the pace of play rules for months now which figures given the fact he's a human rain delay.

 

[Heyward]

Nibble nibble

 

[USMA76]

Guessing a DL trip for Simmons.

So who do we put a shortstop--Peterson?
