GDT #12, 4/13/'14: Braves (Harang) vs Nats (Gio); No Gattis, CJ, or Uggla

[JusticeForAll23]

Can't rest easy, yet. Two grand slams and the Nationals are right back in this things.

4 MVPs. Thethe, never change.

I think we just need an image saying that thethed quickly.

Yeah.

Miraculous. Tommy Hanson won't even be a major leaguer in 2 years...maybe less.

Hanson isn't a major leaguer right now. Cut by the Rangers in spring training and now pitching in the minors for the White Sox.

I think if someone reaches Kimbrel will need to get warm in a hurry

Just wait til Heyward starts hitting... We're winning with little offense out of the 1/2 spots

Heyward's approach has been fine, he justhasn't been getting hits to fall. His K rate is a little high. iso is slightly down, sadly his K rate is up, but I'm sure that will go down. But if all that changed was his BABIP going up to .300 he would have 10 hits instead of 6. His number comes closer to last years.

Freeman/Heyward/Upton/Simmons aren't mvp type players?

 

[Heyward]

I think he'll settle into a 290-300 hitter with 15 HR a year

.290-300 is pushing it.

I can see .270-275 or so.

 

[The Tariff King]

Well. This is escalating quickly.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Pube beard scloshed that one.

 

[Lville21]

I see that we've now found Schlosser's role.

 

[AUTiger7222]

Gus Schlosser shouldn't pitch to left-handed batters.

 

[Heyward]

Sigh

 

[drewdat]

Why is Matt Williams even managing a major league team?

The Nationals are cellar bound hahaha.

They felt the team could benefit from his PED experience.

 

[Dalyn]

Really glad Heyward stole second now.

 

[The Tariff King]

Nats must think they're at 7/11 when they face Gus. Schlushies for everyone!

 

[buck7580]

Did not think that one would go out.

 

[gilesfan]

Freeman/Heyward/Upton/Simmons aren't mvp type players?

The important question is, they are?

One more post from Nats Board

"
If the Nationals played the Braves 162 times in a season, they'd be lucky to win 15 games."

Rizzo: "We feel that we're better than this team. We respect them & respect the organization. We don't fear them."

That is just nuts to say, in light of last season. And particularly hilarious, after seeing them spend this series in intimate congress with the beloved family pet.
