GDT #33: May 7, 2014, Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Braves (Minor) 7:10 PM EST

[Julio3000]

Just a slump

Against Wainwright? Really?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

This was Mike when he first came up. He's got to work through it again, apparently.

That was tough to endure.

 

[TURBO]

We should probably sign him long-term.

You cant be serious. Its his 2nd start of the year. I bet you were part of the group ready to give up on Julio after he started out rough early in his career.

 

[tvsportscaster]

Yeah, this is the woosy Mike Minor early in his career, he's nibbling, instead going after people. 5-1 might as well be 15-1, and the stay back in first place lasted all of one night, now it's third place here we come.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Against Wainwright? Really?

Wainwright is pretty tough. When he has a 4 run cushion it's over with. Blame this on the Minor.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

Meanwhile the Mets and Marlins are laughing, this team is so overrated....

 

[tomahawkchop10]

Not really worried about Minor. It's his 2nd start of the season, he'll be fine. Glad we have tomorrow off though so I can watch the draft without getting pissed off in between picks. Need to sweep the lowly cubs at home to get back on track.

 

[stpeteirish]

Minor looks like crap. Floyd needs a spot in the rotation, but there's no place for Minor to go. Wonder if he's really 100%

 

[tomahawkchop10]

Guys it's Minor's 2nd start!! He'll be fine. Waino gave up 10 hits and lost to the Cubs his last start, these things happen.

 

[bravesnumberone]

You cant be serious. Its his 2nd start of the year. I bet you were part of the group ready to give up on Julio after he started out rough early in his career.

It was a joke referencing signing CJ after he started cold.

But that being said, I could care less. He has to be better than that when he's facing Wainwright. Second start of the year or not. What a lame excuse.

 

[Julio3000]

I think that Minor's issues were always 100% between the ears. It may take him a couple of starts to get back to being the guy he was.

 

[Five]

Meanwhile the Mets and Marlins are laughing, this team is so overrated....

Vastly overrated

 

[UNCBlue012]

The last three weeks he's been the Upton I wanted from Tampa

 

[Julio3000]

Yeah, this team is HORRIBLE.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Should be pinch hitting here.

 

[tomahawkchop10]

Now if we could just replace Uggla with a competent player.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Would of PH for Mike there. A run is huge with this deficit

 

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah, this team is HORRIBLE.

Once we start hitting home runs again, we'll be fine.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Minor is getting lit up and Fredi let's him bat with a chance to get another run back.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

The last three weeks he's been the Upton I wanted from Tampa

He is still nowhere near a good hitter though. He is getting better though.
