GDT 4/4 -Zombie Expos 12:10 start

[Ozzie Swanson]

Well that last ball call was bull****.

 

[Enscheff]

Nothing wrong with that 1-1 pitch, neither on the pitching or catching end.

 

[drewdat]

Perez doesn't frame pitches, he kills them in cold blood.

 

[Tapate50]

Free!

 

[salmagundy]

After Godwin is announced, Snitckers brings in Freeman, Nats counter with Zimmerman.

This Ump must be being paid by the Nats, he has missed far to many calls on Braves pitchers. It can't all be Perez' lack of framing skill.

 

[Enscheff]

That 2-2 pitch down wasn't that bad, but Perez stabbed at it like it was almost a wild pitch haha.

 

[nsacpi]

Great job Freeman. If we don't add a third lefty for the pen he's gonna get Gearrined.

 

[thewupk]

Hopefully this is the last game for Perez. Man he's brutal.

Strike zone chart shows a ton of missed calls on one side of the plate.

 

[chop2chip]

Enjoyed me some shadenfreude on that called strike three listening to the Nats announcers. He couldn’t believe the last pitch was called a strike.

 

[salmagundy]

Hopefully this is the last game for Perez. Man he's brutal.

Who you going to bring in for him?? Stewart was DFAd today. Rupp signed with the Rangers on MiLB contract. Not much else out there.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Bunting with a catcher at 1B? WTF.

 

[50PoundHead]

Anti-Kapler.

Dusty Baker school of starting rotation management.

 

[50PoundHead]

When did Snitker start double switching in the 6th inning? Is he actually putting in a better defensive left fielder?

He played a lot of Strat-o-Matic over the winter.

Who you going to bring in for him?? Stewart was DFAd today. Rupp signed with the Rangers on MiLB contract. Not much else out there.

Suzuki will be back. They said he likely could have gone today. I'd rather have Stewart as the backup than this guy.

 

[salmagundy]

Brantly is still being shown on the Gwinnett roster. Is he really there? We are in a world of hurt if Perez is our only back up catcher.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Ump is absolutely killing us.

 

[salmagundy]

Where is this Ump's strike zone?? 1st 2 pitches from Minter were well with in the Fox zone and they were called balls.

 

[BeanieAntics]

This is one of the worst umpires I've seen since the CB fiasco last year. At least calling balls and strikes. Scherzer was getting calls two feet off the plate and we haven't gotten a single call that touched the lower end of the strike zone. He was squeezing Minter bad that inning.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

in spite of the horrible strike zone, that was one of the easiest half innings I have seen in a while.
