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

[TURBO]

So it looks like this road trip is gonna turn out better then most of you predicted.

 

[parkvadawg]

8 runs for the pathetic team

 

[The Tariff King]

Fredi is an absolute genius.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Took us a while, but we're finally playing like we should against bad teams.

 

[USMA76]

That was a major league wild pitch.

 

[nsacpi]

Looks like they are pitching around Laird here. Don't blame them.

 

[thewupk]

save some for the night cap.

 

[bravesnumberone]

That's our problem right there. Our relievers can bunt, but not our starters.

 

[USMA76]

Don't know that I've ever seen Avilan with a bat in his hands but give him credit for getting down the sac bunt.

 

[The Tariff King]

Avilan bunts better than most of our position players.

 

[thewupk]

avilan for PH bunter!

 

[Julio3000]

I just tell the truth as I see it, not to tick anybody off. Ignore if you like, but message boards are for venting

Me, too. The truth as I see it is that you should consider re-evaluating your philosophy.

There, I'm done venting. Isn't that what message boards are for?

How did this turrible team manage to score 9? They're stumbling their way to winning 4 out of the last 5, I guess.

 

[nsacpi]

4-1 with Melvin hitting leadoff.

coincidence?

 

[bravesnumberone]

So I think we now know what the lineup should be. Have Laird lead off with his ability to draw the walk, and Avilan bat second with his ability to bunt.

 

[Jay212033]

Bring on Buchter for two innings please.

He's in Gwinnett

 

[Julio3000]

4-1 with Melvin hitting leadoff.

coincidence?

Veteran leadoffership.

 

[thewupk]

Jason is easily one of the best defensive OF in baseball and is valuable because of that. But we're getting to a point that he's looking like a massive bust offensively.

If you mean the same way Andruw Jones was a bust offensively then you might be right.

Against the Astros and Phillies, but I'm glad to see us finally playing like we should against the crap teams.

 

[yeezus]

If the score ends like this it will certainly help the run differential

 

[thewupk]

Against the Astros and Phillies, but I'm glad to see us finally playing like we should against the crap teams.

They are also 12-5 against the Nats and Brewers this year. Win games regardless of who it's against.
