GDT: 4/12/15 BREAK OUT THE BROOMS (again!)

[thewupk]

Nick 'the stick' MarKKKakis has done well today

 

[jsebe10]

Lefties will be a problem all season long...get used to it folks

 

[atl717]

I hate Markakis. He is average at everything and good at nothing. Players with his skillsets come cheap.

 

[sturg33]

I know it's early as hell but that Markakis contract is gonna hurt

 

[jpx7]

EY is about to lose his starting spot.

 

[jsebe10]

No sweat...a hook here to Freddie will take care of the inning

Except when it doesn't

 

[Heyward]

just not our day

 

[UNCBlue012]

I see Freddie didn't care much to play today.

He's a veteran and will teach the young kids how to win

Is $44 M considered "cheap" these days?

 

[sturg33]

He's a veteran and will teach the young kids how to win

Ah yes... They will teach from the "how to win" text book.

 

[Heyward]

Nick 'the stick' MarKKKakis has done well today

you're just mad we traded Heyward

 

[mossy]

I see Freddie didn't care much to play today.

He's counting on Fredi getting all the blame, not Freddie. Wish he'd act like he wants to be here....

 

[emk418]

Time for a classic Markakis soft dribbler

Is that any different then the classic Heyward weak ground out to 2B?

 

[Dalyn]

How many walks/Ks for Freeman so far?

 

[thewupk]

I really am

 

[sturg33]

Is that any different then the classic Heyward weak ground out to 2B?

Yes, at least Heyward's grounder were hit hard every now and then

 

[sturg33]

How many walks/Ks for Freeman so far?

He's a stench on this team

 

[AJonesATL]

I'm not a Markakis hater but the signing is still just baffling given this offseason. Its not like he's young either in which case the logic is likely to get 1-2 decent years and then acquire more prospects.

Loved moves like Kelly Johnson / Gomes - short term deals that are cheap with decent enough plugs for a weak team. Would have just preferred something similar in right field.
