GDT #28: 5/2/14 - Giants (Lincecum) at Braves (Minor); No Gattis or Uggla

[Dalyn]

"Dan Uggla struggles mightily."

Fixed that for you, Chip.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Nice, Pena.

 

[Braves1976]

Great play by Pena, his strong arm helped there. No way Uggla makes that play as he has neither range nor arm.

 

[Dalyn]

Uggla doesn't make either of those plays.

Neither range nor arm nor bat nor legs nor brains. The rare Nor Owl of Atlanta.

Awesome to see Huddy interviewed there. What did the Braves do for Huddy tonight, I missed it? Such a shame he's not pitching in this series as he deserves a huge standing ovation.

I would love for San Fran to give him an AB late in a game if there is a blow out either way.

Huddy said he really didn't want to pitch against us.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Freeman needs to get it going.

 

[Dalyn]

I guess pitchers found something to get Freeman out.

[Dalyn]

Interesting comments about managing from Hudson.

 

[Braves1976]

Some terrible AB's that inning by us, hope Minor can keep it at one with the way this is going.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Huddy said he really didn't want to pitch against us.

Why? He would lower his era a full run.

 

[Dalyn]

So true.

Huddy said he really didn't want to pitch against us.

I object your honor! It was a leading question.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Always stops running.

I've only checked out the radar gun a few times, but Minor's velocity seems to be about 90 on his heater. Seems a bit low.

He hit 92 mph at least once and 91 mph some too. But also a lot of 90 mph fastballs too as you note.

Those last two fastballs were both 91 mph to Crawford.

Looks slow, too.

West is going to toss some bitches tonight.
