GDT #16, 4/18/14: Braves (Harang) @ Mets (Niese) 7:10 PM;Heyward out, Simmons LEADOFF

[Braves1976]

They just said on the pre-game, the Mets are trying to consummate a trade, and that's why there's no lineup.

Hmm, I suppose that means they're finally close to trading one of their first basemen?

 

[Heyward]

Sounds like they are trying to trade Ike Davis.

mets lineup.

Young, Jr. Murphy Wright Granderson Young Duda d’Arnaud Tejada Niese.

mets lineup

E Young LF
Murphy 2b
Wright 3b
Granderson RF
C Young CF
Duda 1b
D'Arnaud c
Tejada ss
Niese p

MLB.com just says "Young" so I'm guessing which is which. Lagares got hurt and DL'd when C Young returned. That's a net loss for them IMO.

Are we going to get this series in?

Lots of rain coming up North from the South.

Don't agree with sitting Heyward. With a fly ball pitcher in a big ball park, give me my best OF defense (which happens to coincide with our biggest offensive potential). But Fredi's gonna Fredi

His 5 for his last 40 doesn't agree. He needed a day or two off, no way around it.

 

[tvsportscaster]

Confirmed by Chris Cotillo, Ike Davis to the Pirates.

Today's lineup shows how much Fredi/Frank have faith in Schafer.

Offday for Heyward and we have a worse defensive replacement because he can hit.

just a platoon thing Schafer's no good vs LHP.

No way Schafer was going to play with a tough lefty on the mound. So with no more Reed Johnson he had no choice who else to play.

So the south is invading the north?

 

[Braves1976]

So the south is invading the north?

Yea, the Atlanta Braves are invading and ready to conquer the NY Mets.

Would rather see Upton in right and Doumit in left. But Fredi's gonna Fredi

 

[50PoundHead]

Why didn't she make the gameday thread? If she has any sort of wisdom as her father, we should sweep this series.

She's smarter than me.

Would rather see Upton in right and Doumit in left. But Fredi's gonna Fredi

If you've ever watched Doumit play the OF, you'd rather not see him there at all.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I hate Niese.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Niese is attacking the strike zone. Need to pick one out and sock it outta the park.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Aaron is also Haranging around he strike zone!

 

[The Tariff King]

I hate Niese.

You hate your own blood? smh
