6/9/15: GDT - San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves

[Braves1976]

BJ's mechanics at the plate are still crap.

Since JJ walked him it matters not, now let's see if he tries to steal on Bethancourt. That would be an interesting match-up. It would be funny if he did, beat the throw, then popped up and Simmons tagged him as he comes off the bag.

OK screw that bad throw..

 

[Braves1976]

He's good for this club, stacked as it is with guys who are losing if they're swinging for the fences. I appreciated his quote from the preseason interview where he said that he recognized that most of his job is psychological. I think it's fair to credit him with a lot of Maybin's and Tron's success, at the very least.

Agreed.

Good grief

 

[Five]

That's what happens when you walk the pitcher or in this case a guy who hits like a pitcher.

 

[Garmel]

BJ's out.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Good grief, ump? What were you looking at????????

 

[Julio3000]

Ha, Melvin's out.

 

[Braves1976]

Haha we got him, bad call again but he's out. Look at that slide, foot stopped.

Jerry Meals is a terrible terrible umpire

I praised Fredi a couple times this evening, but I can't understand why—in a tie game—he pulled Cunniff, who'd just recorded a huge out and looked pretty good doing it, for Jimmy Johns, who hasn't exactly been quenching fires lately.

That mother****er is blind.

What a damn play by Uribe. That transfer was lighting quick and threw an absolute dart.

I agreed with your last post doing so too, and yet again we agree.

Tonight's home plate umpire:

Don't you just love watching him instead of CJ stumbling and bumbling at third? I sure do, night and day difference.

 

[Garmel]

Jim Johnson didn't have good stuff at all that inning but he got out of it.

Its really the only reason I want to extent a 36 year old position player. Its basically Markakis in the opposite direction in comparison to what preceded him.

 

[Braves1976]

BTW, the more I see Uribe the more I like him. I did really dislike him over you know, but now I am leaning towards wanting him extended through next season. Good at the plate, good defense. That is hard to find at third these days.

The obsolescence of Lord BABip has been effected at a breathless pace. Uribe came in straight regicidal.

TERD!!!!
