GDT #5, 4/5/ '14: Braves (Teheran) @ Nationals (Strasburg) 7:05 PM EST

[Heyward]

Terrible pitch to LaRoche, should of gone high heat like he did to Bryce/Werth.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Jim Joyce has already messed up 4 calls on pitches.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Heck yeah! Awesome approach from the Braves.

 

[TDlxANDER]

This team has a terrible approach at the plate, for the most part.

 

[Dalyn]

We've only scored more than two runs once this season.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Eventually, the Braves are going to have to be able to score early in the game. The pitching can't remain perfect. I know we're facing a great pitcher tonight, but still.

 

[Dalyn]

This team has a terrible approach at the plate, for the most part.

Yep.

 

[Heyward]

Leadoff walks, man.

Nah, terrible pitch.

LaRoche just got under the same pitch before, then crushes that one.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

See the ball, hit the ball, is it that hard?

And for a pitcher with seemingly good control for the most part, he sure gets squeezed by the umps a lot.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Fox Sports having a lot of reception problems.

 

[Krovahn]

Nah, terrible pitch.

LaRoche just got under the same pitch before, then crushes that one.

Wouldn't have happened without the lead-off walk.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Fox Sports having a lot of reception problems.

Mine is fine?

 

[bravesnumberone]

Mine is fine?

May be my cable. Being pretty jumpy. Not having the problem on any other channels, though.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Quit throwing over. Desmond has no lead at all.

 

[PurpleBrave]

Strasburg vs this lineup? There hasn't been this big of a mismatch since Ray King faced off vs. a bag of french fries from 5 guys.

 

[chopdrew]

Lot of knee-jerkers around here. It's the first week of the season. Relax.

 

[AerchAngel]

Strasburg vs this lineup? There hasn't been this big of a mismatch since Ray King faced off vs. a bag of french fries from 5 guys.

Is that a reason why we always beat him?

 

[Dalyn]

 

[Dalyn]

Teheran looked off in game one and a little worse tonight. Hope he pulls it together.

 

[Heyward]

Wouldn't have happened without the lead-off walk.

He got out Werth/Harper before Span, that didnt matter.

Dumb pitch.
