GDT--5/25-- FRIDAY AT Red Sox

[jpx7]

I'm surprised they're pulling Rodriguez here, given how effective he's looked the past few innings.

Swanson's bad against non LHP and then after that you have the 4th time through.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

The ABs tonight compared to Philly were much better but...1-7 with RISP.

 

[USMA76]

I'm getting pretty tired of our announcers saying how great our RISP is when it seems like we've wasted a month's worth of those opportunities.

 

[thewupk]

Swanson is back into easy out mode

 

[Garmel]

Swanson with another K.

 

[msstate7]

Swanson, you can't miss the fastball

 

[jpack1]

Wow. Swanson is terrible. I guess that’s not really news because he has pretty much been bad with the bat his whole career.

 

[CyYoung31]

Swanson gonna get the GW winning RBI for us tonight.

 

[USMA76]

Swanson gonna get the GW winning RBI for us tonight.

Not if making contact is a requirement.

 

[msstate7]

We should DFA him

Swanson, you can't miss the fastball

Yea, he's had solid PAs so far tonight, but that last one was not.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Don't get me wrong, if Dansby can't at least be like Crawford, shortstop is extremely concerning if you don't think Albies can play the position.

 

[msstate7]

Ehhh, extremely concerning is probably extremely extreme. He's picking with the best of them defensively.

 

[nsacpi]

It would be useful to have another infielder. Moose or Beltre.

 

[Garmel]

Makes you wonder if Swanson's wrist is well or not.

 

[jpx7]

Ehhh, extremely concerning is probably extremely extreme. He's picking with the best of them defensively.

I think his defense has been good enough that the Braves can afford to be a little more patient with the bat. Especially since—while I'm glad that Camargo is getting a shot at 3B—I personally don't think he's a viable long-term option at SS.

 

[USMA76]

Phillies coming back from five run deficit. May well be in second place at the end of the evening.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Let's be honest, if Ronald and Dansby aren't going to play to their potential this offense isn't going to be good.

 

[msstate7]

Makes you wonder if Swanson's wrist is well or not.

Could be the case. I'm a huge Swanson guy, but I really think last Friday would've been better served facing live pitching in AAA than serving hot dogs at suntrust
