GDT #63: BRAVES (Minor) vs. ROCKIES (Nicasio), 100 to go!

After watch Dan for what, 3 years? 4?... it's a complete turnaround with LaStella... but I love it. It's exactly what this lineup needs.

I don't even care about the turnaround. The kid purely can hit.

Coors doesn't always mean homers. You new here?

People.don't realize that more balls drop in the outfield at Coors than any other park in the league.

 

[zitothebrave]

How was it possible he wasn't more highly regarded?

Age and defense. He's a 1 tool player, but his tool is hitting for average. Kid is awesome.

Yeah, especially with the ggiant gaps.

Tommy's stats so far this season: .378 AVG, .475 OBP with 14 singles and 4 RBIs.

 

[Julio3000]

He has looked out of sync at the plate these last 2 games, imo, but still way better than our other option.

Yeah, he has, but as you say, he's miles better than Uggla/Pastor/Pena.

 

[mossy]

A scoreless inning? Doooood.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Single for David Hale. Awesome.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

David Hale joins the hit parade

 

[tomahawkchop10]

Haha atta boy Hale.

 

[Julio3000]

If Hale can go 3 scoreless, he's the MVP today.

 

[USMA76]

Only Braves hit in the inning was Hale's. Maybe we've found our #2 hitter.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Freddie actually looks visibly frustrated right now.

 

[tomahawkchop10]

Great to see TLS playing well on D too.

 

[USMA76]

Are our pitchers that wild or does Gattis just let an awful lot of balls get by him?

 

[Julio3000]

To get to heaven, sometimes you have to go through Hale.

 

[tomahawkchop10]

Think I would have left Hale in, need to save some of the pen. Oh well good job from Hale to get things calmed down.

If the alternative was Avilan, then . . . yeah.

 

[tomahawkchop10]
