GDT#4, 4/4/'14: Braves (Hale) @ Nationals (Zimmerman) 1:05 PM

Man, Justin sure does swing through a LOT of very hittable pitches.

Meat of the plate is his kryptonite. Even more so if its low 90's or high 80's.

 

[mossy]

Who's next, Carp?

 

[yeezus]

At what point does Fredi adapt?

Probably in like a month or two.

 

[stpeteirish]

Both Uptons whiffing like crazy today. And we might win anyhow.

 

[Dalyn]

Who's next, Carp?

Of course. Can't waste quality 8th innings.

 

[Murphfan]

I have been one of BJ's biggest supporters... I have had continuous faith in him turning it around... my patience is wearing thin... its not the early average that worries me... its the absurd strikeout rate...

Yep, I wouldn't feel so bad if he walked or was called out now and then..but jeesh..

 

[Dunit24]

My patience is growing thin on both Uptons. Guys are going to slump, but they seem to do it comfortably. Too talented for both to be swinging through meatballs every at bat.

 

[50PoundHead]

BJ's position in the lineup.

Gotcha. Soon I hope. If this continues, B.J. Upton will rival Wayne Garland as the worst FA signing ever by anyone.

 

[Lville21]

Carpenter again? I've been a big Fredi supporter, but I'm starting to lose it.

 

[mossy]

Of course. Can't waste quality 8th innings.

Meaning?

 

[Krovahn]

I don't know if I like Carpenter pitching here. He should not be the set-up man, IMO.

 

[sentenza]

Carpenter the new set-up guy?

 

[datdude12]

might've stayed with avilan here....oh well

 

[Murphfan]

I really really hate it when we walk/give up hits to batters right before Werth comes up..

 

[Dalyn]

Fredi is doing everything he can to lower the percentages on this one.

 

[cajunrevenge]

The fact that they managed to manufacture a run with both Uptons hitting thst inning amazes me.

 

[Dalyn]

Meaning?

Fredi is an idiot.

 

[Braves1976]

Carpenter is going to blow it. This is bad that Fredi has made him Mr. 8th inning.

 

[datdude12]

not one of those was even sniffing the strike zone....awesome

 

[bravesnumberone]

Braves have really got to start scoring and blowing some people away if Fredi is going to use Carpenter every time.
