GDT #13, 4/14/'14: Braves (Santana) vs Philthies (Hernandez); Still no CJ

[Hawk]

Did Thomas mouth 'that burned' or 'that hurt'? And was he talking about the two-hole?

 

[Julio3000]

We'd be fine with one more reliable arm, I think. I just fear that if/when Av or Walden goes down . . .

 

[NinersSBChamps]

That's just Uggla being Uggla.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

Is that Larry Bowa in Phils dugout? Brings back some good memories in early 2000s when he was manager, seemed like he had a tantrum every time we played them and got ejected, lol

 

[The Tariff King]

Uggla!!!!

[Millwood1Hitter]

Fredi: "We might have found something with this Thomas guy. We will continue to run him out there and see what he's got."

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Uggla being Uggla...

 

[buck7580]

Dan the almost DH.

 

[Hawk]

Oh Lord. Dhuck Uggblauch.

Really? Vavaro? I don't like this move. Thomas still gets righties out.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

Why is Varvaro coming in a one run game with a runner on? Damn, Fredi, you hang out with Tony Larussa or something this offseason?

 

[Hawk]

I feel like the Braves need to hire a bullpen coordinator (is Ray King available?) because if there's one aspect of Fredi's managing game that I absolutely hate, it's his inability to use a bullpen correctly.

My guess Varvaro is just in for one guy. Then Avilan if necessary for the top of the lineup, which has 3 lefties and 1 switch hitter.

Yea I'm confused here. The flat fastball pitcher in this Cracker Jack ball park. Should be interesting.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Why would you take Thomas out there?

 

[jsebe10]

Why would you take Thomas out there?

Stupid.

But he's obviously playing match up here.

 

[jsebe10]

Mayberry shouldn't see a fastball this AB

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

Mayberry sitting on fastball

 

[bravesnumberone]

Oh well. At least he struck him out. We need to score some more runs here. Left too many runners on tonight.
