6/2/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ Arizona Diamondbacks

They should've did it, if so Peterson's at second instead of Simmons at first. Oh well.

Yeah, you've got a good contact guy at the plate and a good baserunner at first. Wish Fredi would be a bit more aggressive with this team at times.

 

[Braves1976]

Freeman and Markakis started chasing balls, that helped the Arizona pitcher get out of it.

That ball Freeman flew out on was not close to a strike, it was ball four. Just saying.

It was also a slider from a 3/4 delivery lefty. Hard to layoff that pitch.

That to me is his one weakness as an offensive player. He expands the zone too far with two strikes.

What gets me is he will do it occasionally but mostly with slow runners instead of fast runners.

Jace did twice.

Trying to catch them by surprise. No one expects a hit and run with a slow runner.

It very rarely works out that way.

Hard =/= impossible

Game about to hit three hours and we're only in the seventh.

10 walks from our pitchers helps with that.

The Yankees and Red Sox are not impressed

 

[Fredi Gonzalez]

10 walks and 2 innings to go. FML.

 

[Garmel]

Bullpen does it again.

 

[Braves1976]

This bullpen stinks.

 

[chop2chip]

Lol

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Welp

 

[The Tariff King]

 

[chop2chip]

Goldschmidt is 1994 Jeff Bagwell. Incredible player.

 

[Garmel]

Well, their bullpen stinks too. Maybe we can get another big inning.
