6/5/15: GDT - Pittsburgh Pirates @ Atlanta Braves

[50PoundHead]

Great AB by Ciriaco. He barely missed a double before that hit too.

He keeps this up and Gosselin will never get his job back!

 

[Braves1976]

Joey T looked very rusty on those swings, I don't get adding him right now. Oh well.

 

[UNCBlue012]

But how. We scored 8. Get rid of the whole BP.

Any reason why Peterson had a day off?

Tough spot he was thrusted into tonight.

Sore thumb. Out till Sunday.

Cortisone shot for a hand injury, still day-to-day.

Had a cortisone shot in his hand.

I look fwd to talking about Tehran's knee in tomorrow's thread after they go to the Blowpen in the 4th inning.

It doesn't matter if he's hitting a 1.000 in the 4 hole. Dude is not a game changer in that spot and doesn't drive in runs

Okay hoss. Let's just put Uribe there since he hits homeruns. Markakis can take his .340 batting average somewhere else.

He had been playing with a sore hand for the past two and a half weeks. So he had a cortisone shot and will be back soon. Good news is x-rays were negative.

Thanks all for the updates.

N9t sure if I should be mad I missed this game. Offense continues to score while our pen c9ntinues to get scored upon. Frustrating....

As an FYI, however, Markakis with RISP:

.318/.423/.432

I think it's time to bring up Weber, Kelly and Carpenter from AAA. I know they're green but I don't think they could be any worse than what we have now.

 

[Julio3000]

Yeah. But a cortisone shot often means not hurt enough to go on the DL, but too hurt to be any good. Hopefully, that's not the way it plays out, but . . .

The irrational hate for Markakis is siloy. The only thing he has done wrong is not being the right fielder that preceded him.

Fair point, but I am trying to be hopeful he will be fine soon.

 

[Heyward]

6 runs, 7 runs, 8 runs last 3 games= 0 wins.

Baseball can be a frustrating game.

Bullpen is beyond ****.

No one is hating Markakis. I'm simply stating that he should not be batting 4th. Plain and simple. And you know that

Kelly and Carpenter have been pretty dominate so I figured we'd see them at some point. Carpenter already has big league experience. Ryan Weber has been good too this year, so I'd be fine with giving him a shot too.

That said, I wouldn't trust Fredi to use them right. He's already been known to sit green relievers a week before using them, then they are so rusty they stink no matter how good they are.
