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

I don't ever remember Braves tv interviewing an opposing player during a game. Interesting interview all around. Reading between the lines sounded like the Braves had no interest in bringing him back.

every pitcher looks great against us. and people keeping bitching about the lineup, like that matters. We can't hit, it doesn't matter who hits where in the lineup when nobody does jack s*it.

I know people have given Walker/Fletcher crap, and Idk how much merit that has, but this team has no fundamental recognition of the strike zone. Constantly late or missing very hittable pitches as well. Just some overall putrid at bats.

Our walk rate as a team has plummeted in the last few years but I don't really blame the hitting coaches with that. We have essentially replaced Chipper, Mac. and Escobar with Johnson, Gattis, and Simmons. While those 3 aren't bad hitters they take very few walks and are hackers. And when they aren't getting hits it can be tough to swallow.
