Because you'd rather a good hitting prospect playing ever day than riding the bench

Also TLS needs work on his defense playing in the field every day is iportant.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Good to see Jason get a few hits.

 

[jpx7]

Disadvantage: He won't be able to post on here with us when he's on the field.

Sure, but he's live-tweeting from the squat between pitches.

 

[UNCBlue012]

The biggest problem I've seen all year with this team offensively is first-pitch swings. Some guys have a lot of success with that (Freeman for example), but they have to be patient. When they are, we are fantastic at driving up pitch counts. Just need to do it.

 

[Hawk]

That was a solid $50K AB from Doumit.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Another wasted opportunity. As good as this team is, they HAVE to start taking advantage. We have really good hitters yet we don't capitalize.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

lol some Marlins player yelling "OMG"

 

[NinersSBChamps]

CJ is cool.

 

[USMA76]

I get that it's difficult for Doumit to get into any sort of hitting groove as infrequently as he bats. However, I've yet to see an AB from him in which he didn't look lost and overmatched. He knew his role on the team going in and he's done nothing to strengthen his case for additional PT.

 

[The Tariff King]

Fredi should've bunted with Simmons and Freeman with Heyward on. Runner on 3rd with 2 outs.

 

[jpx7]

Would anybody here do Uggla straight up for Weeks?

Unsavory.

 

[sturg33]

Harang looking good out there

 

[NinersSBChamps]

What is Zaxbys?

 

[The Tariff King]

What is Zaxbys?

Kind of like Chick Fil A. Everything is basically chicken sandwiches.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Uggla with a professional at bat.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Kind of like Chick Fil A. Everything is basically chicken sandwiches.

Do they have them in Savannah? Or only in Atlanta? That would suck because it's a long drive.

 

[The Tariff King]

Just read on the Braves Facebook page someone wrote "Fire Wren, howcome the Marlins consistently get guys like Beckett, Josh Johnson, Nolasco, Fernadnez, and Eovaldi and we can't?"

 

[The Tariff King]

Do they have them in Savannah? Or only in Atlanta? That would suck because it's a long drive.

I believe it's a regional thing. Kind of like Bojangles. If you're looking for the best fried chicken, you'll have to try Krispy-Chic. Only in GA

 

[The Tariff King]

Fredi doing work with the bat.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Get off of Laird's nuts.
