#66 GDT Friday the 13th: BRAVES (Harang) vs. ANGELS (CJ Wilson), 7:40

[Dalyn]

Johnson looks so good lately. Very nice to see.

 

[atl717]

We gotta cool the expectations on Gattis a bit. I like the guy a lot. Power is for real. But he cannot be a high avg or obp guy, that's unrealistic. He's actually swinging and missing more than he did last year. And his line drive rate is one of the lowest.

He's a .250 guy with a low obp and tons of power. Good player.

He started off the season piss poor and they worked on him getting to be more on his toes so he is more upright. Since then he has destroyed the ball.

Boy, am I glad the pitcher didn't throw to third because it sure looked available to him.

 

[USMA76]

X-rays negative on Heyward. We'll see how long he's out under the heading of "day to day."

 

[Dalyn]

A bunt. A successful bunt.

 

[Dalyn]

Having Schafer in there is such a big hit. He is the worst outfielder on the team.

Atlanta Braves ‏@Braves 4m

OF Jason Heyward left tonight's game with a right hand contusion, x-rays were negative. He is day-to-day.

 

[AerchAngel]

A bunt. A successful bunt.

HE lucked into it.

Did you see his BUG eyes when he made contact? Like he was shocked.

 

[atl717]

He was destroying the ball early on too. He's in a hot stretch now. He will go through a cold stretch soon and people will overreact then too.

Told you. Very very hard to break a knuckle unless it is flush.

Umm no.

 

[Dalyn]

Glad Heyward will be back at least after the break.

why bother with Schafer up next. My goal of never seeing Schafer play again was thwarted by a C J Wilson fastball to Heyward's hand.

 

[Dalyn]

The ball Gattis hit took a picture on the way by.

 

[Dalyn]

I can't believe how seldom BJ bunts.

 

[USMA76]

I can't believe how seldom BJ bunts.

Do you ask a concert pianist to play "chopsticks?" C'mon

 

[Dalyn]

Well.

 

[TDlxANDER]

Evan beginning his transition back to "swing at everything" mode.

 

[AerchAngel]

uh oh, bad swing.......

maybe his cold streak is starting.
