[Garmel]

Freeman's plane is arriving just before the game. He won't be in the lineup tonight.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Um what is that thing at third base?

 

[Garmel]

Um what is that thing at third base?

A Quad-A player from Gwinnett.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

A Quad-A player from Gwinnett.

Oh great. We needed another one of those. Glad this guy is finally at the major league level though. Good for him.

 

[nsacpi]

Expecting a huge game from Eury

 

[jpx7]

Expecting a truly beautiful game from Garcia.

 

[The Tariff King]

Oh great. We needed another one of those. Glad this guy is finally at the major league level though. Good for him.

He was called up earlier this year before.

Expecting a truly beautiful game from Garcia.

I think we're going to enjoy getting a look at him.

Fredi will have an absolute brain buster tomorrow with Freddie coming back. Who to put in the 3 hole!?!?

 

[Krovahn]

Simba, obviously.

 

[MadduxFanII]

I'm expecting a big game from whoever happens to still be in the lineup.

 

[Braves1976]

Garcia had been outstanding with the bat the first two months, but the last two months he's been Chris Johnson bad. But now he is getting a shot to start, funny how that works.

That said, I am glad he is at least getting a look as he was good in AAA last year and hasn't had a shot in the Majors yet (outside of two pinch hit AB's). He cannot do any worse than Chris Johnson at third.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Shelby's only chance of winning tonight is to throw a no hitter and even then he's not guaranteed anything.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Goody. A fluke hit to start the Cardinals off

 

[Krovahn]

Shelby's only chance of winning tonight is to throw a no hitter and even then he's not guaranteed anything.

Well, there goes the ball game, he gave up a hit. Wait, they didn't score in the inning? Guess it doesn't matter since he needed a no-hitter to win.

 

[Braves1976]

Congrats to Garcia on his first MLB hit.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Well, there goes the ball game, he gave up a hit. Wait, they didn't score in the inning? Guess it doesn't matter since he needed a no-hitter to win.

Guess you haven't been following his last 11 starts or so.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

KJ alert. 1-1 tonight.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Old fashioned pitchers duel tonight.
