8-31-13 GDT: Marlins at Braves(Justin still out)

[Heyward]

Had to win it there.

First and second, no out.

Now, bottom of the lineup who likely won't do much, wasted chances like the 4th or 5th.

Are we doomed?

La Stella makes too much sense for Fredis ****ing idiot self

 

[Braves1976]

Great play by EJ there.

Believe it or not, his best position is second. He has 11 DRS (defensive runs saved) or something like that in less than 400 innings at second this year (including a few runs saved for us).

Who said it's his call?

 

[TURBO]

How was that a ball?

 

[Runnin]

I thought that was weird, too. Furcal was good. Really good, even. Simmons is otherworldly.

Joe also said he thought Simmons might already be passing Furcal as the best SS. It was a polite sentence for public consumption. Everyone knows how good Simmons is.

 

[Heyward]

Are we doomed?

Doomed, no, but it's unlikely we score next inning given whose coming up.

Uggla walks, BJ wins it and we can save some of our other bullpen arms.

 

[Braves1976]

Uggla may not have cost us the game (time will tell), but regardless he made us have to use up our bullpen again.

 

[jpack1]

That a boy BJ.

 

[Braves1976]

I rather steal here, BJ can steal bases really well. Oh well never mind. Hopefully it works, but bunting now and not last inning makes no sense. We could've stolen early there and then bunted, that would've been best IMO.

 

[TURBO]

Elliot is going to walk us off

 

[jpack1]

If this isn't a sign to Fredi then nothing will teach him.

 

[Braves1976]

I still say it was a mistake to bunt before stealing, if you let Schafer steal you should BJ as he's even better at it. Hopefully we get a two out hit and win it. But if BJ steals first we'd already won this game.

 

[TURBO]

terrible AB.

 

[weso1]

I'm sorry I came in late... did Fredi pinch hit Laird for Johnson?

 

[Braves1976]

Fredi mismanaged two straight innings, but his boy Uggla made it possible.

 

[Braves1976]

I'm sorry I came in late... did Fredi pinch hit Laird for Johnson?

Yes.

 

[weso1]

Does Fredi not know that in reality Laird is actually not a good hitter? Or is it just that Fredi wanted to give himself an AB there and Laird is actually managing now?

 

[Braves1976]

Ayala time, lovely...
