GDT #22, 4/25/'14: Reds (Bailey) @ Braves (Santana)

[Braves1976]

Looks like a line drive RBI single in the scorebook for Gattis.

It also just goes to show how important contact is in that situation.

Gattis bloops an RBI single to left. It's 5-0 #Braves in the 3rd. Gattis now hitting .359 (14x39) with 11 RBI over his last 10+ games.

And Uggla shows why is may not be as important

NEWSFLASH: With that RBI single by Heyward, all eight #Braves regulars are hitting above .200 for the first time since 2012.

Bailey really earning that big contract.

 

[Braves1976]

Funny, but with no one on first it's harder to hit into a DP (Bruce says I'm wrong I know, lol).

Woo Hoo!

Why can Uggla make that play, but not the basic plays.

Agreed. Just thought it was funny.

 

[USMA76]

Nice play by Uggla which is nice to see during a year in which he's really been struggling in the field (understatement).

 

[Braves1976]

Now Sutton is talking up Uggla's defense from last year saying he was very good. That's nonsense, Uggla had the worst DRS among second basemen last year (something along those lines anyway).

Great inning by Santana.

 

[TURBO]

Easy 5 pitch inning.

 

[mossy]

5 pitch inning for Mervyn the Sherriff of Nottingham.

 

[Braves1976]

It would be nice to see CJ get going again. He's looking more like he has most of his career again rather than last year.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Single for Santana! I love it.

 

[Braves1976]

Simmons with another hard hit ball, nice play by Bruce though.

Santana with a hit, good job though I am not sure I want him having to run the bases.

 

[mossy]

Santana does it all.

 

[bravesnumberone]

That stat about eight regulars hitting over .200 is embarrassing and pathetic, but also funny.

Chris Johnson has the lowest OBP of any regular on the team.

Straight A's.
