GDT #53, 5/29/'14: Braves (Minor) vs. Red Sox (Peavy), 7:10 EST

Kimbrel comes in but a batter too late IMO. No margin for error with the bases loaded for a guy who hasn't pitched since Sunday.

aTLSVis a gold glover compared to BJ Upton. BJ is the worst CF I've ever seen for someone fairly athletic. He needs to be benched but our gutless wonder manager will do nothing I'm sure. This team lacks leadership and leadership starts with the manager. It's his job.

You act as if Schafer is any better plus BJ has been hitting better.
 
I assumed that would of been far enough for the monster to be a factor. Need some offense. If Heyward gets to bat this inning we will take the lead.

IBB doesn't matter. If they score once or three times, what difference does it make?

If Kimbrel walks (unintentionally) Ortiz with 2B open, no harm; however a bases loaded walk is a different story. Similarly, if he gives up a hit it's two runs to make up in the ninth vs. one. Didn't matter, Ross flied out so we're still in this one. Whew.
 
He's been hitting better. Yes. Up to 210 now. That's a month of good going for him. It's his defense that just drives me crazy. I don't know, I expect good D out of CF just like SS. You just can't win with bad fielding CF who can't hit either.
