6/8/15: GDT - San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves (Only one Upton starting)

[thethe]

Maybin should be in the future plans. Need to figure out 3B and C for next season.

 

[USMA76]

Jace is so smooth at second base. I don't want to move him off of that position.

Between Uribe, Simmons, Peterson, and Freeman, I'd like to think our infield has a lot fewer holes than most even if Freddie doesn't have the greatest range in the world.

Uribe basically plugged the entire hole himself

It's pretty funny that one of the few Braves hitter of the past decade it seems that actually comes here via trade or FA and and doesn't suck is considered a salary dump.

Both Maybin and Uribe.

Uribe basically plugged the entire hole himself

Defense aside, he's sure looked awful at the plate tonight.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

What was that, Juan?

 

[CyYoung31]

After that interview, why do I get the feeling that Roy Clark probably likes to attend cocaine parties with Chip.

 

[CyYoung31]

Mike Trout is one home run away from being the answer to the trivia question.

Both Maybin and Uribe.

The baseball gods are smiling on us

Maybe because the devil (Wren) is no longer with the organization!

 

[USMA76]

Maybe because the devil (Wren) is no longer with the organization!

In all seriousness, it's impressive how quickly we've managed to overcome so many of Wren's boneheaded moves. Our main "sucking chest wound" that remains is the bullpen and, unfortunately, I don't see that one healing quickly.

That must be it

Can't fix a disaster in one offseason. But, the majority of it has been fixed and if they get this draft right then we will be quickly back to contending for a world series.

 

[USMA76]

Heady play by Uribe.

 

[stpeteirish]

Doesn't look like we'll need much from the dreaded bullpen tonight.

 

[thethe]

I can't believe how good Shelby Miller is....

 

[thethe]

We need Maybin in RF next year. Markakis is not good there.

 

[jpx7]

Markakis: the triple-maker.

 

[Julio3000]

Markakis: the triple-maker.

Markakis, stolid, triple-maker

 

[thethe]

Thank the heavens for Simmons.
