GDT #11, 4/12/'14: Braves (Wood) vs Nats (Jordan) Simmons back

[Dalyn]

I think BJ and Uggla need to go to a sport psychologist.

Going to a bar to watch this one. Go Braves.

BJ goes 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs.

 

[Heyward]

BJ clearly cares, and thats all i'll say on that subject.

 

[thethe]

Man do I love some good wood (where is the Asian guy screaming gay emotican?)

You have to hope this kid stays healthy with his unorthodox delivery because man he has a high ceiling.

Honestly I am leaning towards BJ not caring because he is in his physical prime and outside of his big pay day all that changed was moving to the NL. If BJ cared he would stop swinging for the fences every at bat. I bet he could hit .300 if he was willing to be a slap hitter. He needa to take the advice Chris Johnson did and just focus on hitting line drives rather than trying to hit home runs.

Way oversimplifying. Swinging for the fences is a very common trait in pressing too much, and he's been doing it since he got here. Not because he "doesn't care." It's a lot easier said than done to stop pressing. And no, he could not hit .300 regardless of anything.***

***Unless he morphed in to Mike Trout, in which case he could.

 

[Dalyn]

Wood.

 

[Heyward]

Wind took that longer than it seemed.

 

[Dalyn]

Terrible pitch.

 

[Dalyn]

Chip: "And here we are, in another one-run game with the Nationals."

 

[Heyward]

Wood getting squeezed.

 

[Dalyn]

Where was that? Tight zone early.

 

[thethe]

Batters just don't pick up the ball well out of Woods hand.

 

[Heyward]

Some questionable calls to LaRoche.

 

[Dalyn]

We beat Washington in spite of Heyward. Impressive.

[NinersSBChamps]

Have you ever played sports, ever?

Saying he doesn't care is just plain stupid. Just because he completely sucks right now doesn't mean he doesn't care. Does Uggla not care?

I didn't suck at any sports.

 

[keithlaw]

nothin better than a good bj

 

[Heyward]

BJ!

Sweet B'Jesus!
