GDT 6-28-14 (Game 1 of DH): Braves (Santana) at Philadelphia (R. Hernandez)

[bravesnumberone]

Most logical lineup:

Heyward, JUp, FF, Gattis, CJ, TLS, BJ, Simmons, P.

Agreed. We're really missing at least one more good hitter to go in the fifth spot, but nothing we can do about it.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

Uggla shouldnt start ever again.

Start Pena in Game 2.

Yes he should. If you are gonna pay him he should play at least a little. This board hate for him and FG borders on ridiculous and besides whether Uggs contributes or not we have winning record with him starting. Can't say that with him riding the pine.

I don't hate Fredi but his lineups are ridiculous. Uggla is a horrible

 

[bravesnumberone]

Nobody hates FG. He's just a complete moron who continues to trot out low .OBP guys at the top of the lineup.

As far as Uggla, yes, if we're going to have him on the roster, he needs to play every one in a while.

 

[parkvadawg]

Although he did make Phillie fans looks like idiots nationally so I will thank him for that

This team grounds into the most DPs I've ever seen.

Lack of discipline at the plate will do that.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Really.

 

[UNCBlue012]

What a lucky bloop. Wow

 

[Jay212033]

Lack of discipline at the plate will do that.

No lack of speed will do that.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

Santana floating balls over the middle. He or Minor have to step up.

 

[Fredi Gonzalez]

What's our record with Melvin leading off?

3-1

 

[USMA76]

What a lucky bloop. Wow

What's the saying, "that'll look like a line drive in the box score tomorrow."

 

[bravesnumberone]

No lack of speed will do that.

Yes, but the team leaders are CJ and Simmons, and it largely stems from this swinging at low ****.

 

[Jay212033]

I wish the Braves had that draft pick and 14.1 mil.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I can see why no one was in a hurry to sign Santana.

 

[drewdat]

@ajcbraves: Fredi going to give Simmons a shot in the 2 hole a while. drop La Stella down, given his recent struggles

Wonder if Wood might like a shot at the 2 hole.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Just realized Nats play a double header today too. What are the odds that would happen.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Great start.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I've seen Hernandez pitch a bit, but Jesus he's awful... Yet we don't have a hit. His stuff looks awful.
