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

[bravesnumberone]

2 runs, in 6.1 innings, not bad for a garbage P.

Perspective. Way to cherry-pick a quote.

He settled down and had a nice day.

Yeah probably keeping Schlosser in reserve to cover for Hale if needed in Game 2.

Yeah. The pen is in good shape for game 2. I believer everyone should be available. Avilan threw 17 pitches and Simmons 8. They could both pitch in game 2 if necessary. Hopefully though it won't be necessary.

We gonna knock around this potato eater in the night cap or what? That is if he doesn't catch drunk first.

You just don't hear much good casual racism against the Irish these days.

 

[UNCBlue012]

What do you guys think will be the lineup game two? I'm that we could see Pena instead of Johnson and MAYBE Schafer instead of BJ.

 

[Heyward]

I was gonna comment on how well he did after the first two. That being said, it's the Phillies' worst lineup they could almost put out. But still, good job.

Terrible lineup, maybe but this ballpark is hardly easy to pitch in.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Will Gattis play the second game, or are we going to have to sit through Doumit catching?

 

[Julio3000]

I like seeing all of the BBs and deeper counts.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Laird will probably go. I'd like to see Gattis, but he needs to continue resting.

Catcher obviously depends if Oso can go.

Otherwise, Pena should get a start for Tommy LaSorta or CJ.

Everyone else should play though, maybe sit BJ.

 

[bravesnumberone]

But I thought catchers couldn't catch both games of a DH?

Uggla should definitely be out there at second.

You LaSorta almost got it right. LaSorda.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Uggla should definitely be out there at second.

Yes, for the Phillies or as an umpire.

 

[tvsportscaster]

Fredi just said on postgame, they are still thinking about lineup and "roster stuff" in Game 2. So take what you will. He wouldn't commit to his catcher. Makes you wonder, if they called up Bethancourt and they're going to use him for the 26th man.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Phillies lineup for the nightcap is a barrel of suck. Hopefully Hale has a good outing.

 

[nsacpi]

I'm curious why they don't bite the bullet and have Doumit catch game 2. I believe he has caught 1 game this year.

They probably think he's too much a liability defensively and maybe doesn't call a good game. The "roster stuff" Fredi eluded to makes me think, Gattis might be hurt worse than originally thought.

Sure. But this is the kind of semi-emergency situation where you want to take advantage of having a third guy who can play catcher.

 

[Fredi Gonzalez]

4-1 with BJ leading off, BOlieve it.
