Again, you are stating like Niners stating that I presume to think Gattis is better defensive catcher, never said it.

What I am saying he is not WOWING me like people think he the shizznit. He has 3 PB already in 11 games, that is not good, he has thrown out 2/9, that is not good. His framing is not that good. His blocking is exceptional and he has a great arm but it is failing him. THat is all observations. But yet you want to bash the poster who brought up facts because it taints your reality of what we have seen. He could do better than this I know it, you know it. BJ should be a better player but hasn't shown it but yet we bash him nonstop because he should be better than this. I am using CB the same way, he should be better than this on defense. I know he cannot control pitchers when holding people on, but Gattis has a terrible arm and a better percentage, soooooo....

Okay, dude. Bethancourt isn't a good defensive catcher. You got me.

All the best to you and your family.

Again you are assuming.

I think he is outstanding but he is not brought it.

I will take care of my posts and I am sorry. Calling me an idiot when I bring facts rubs me wrong.

LOL. You said he wasn't a good catcher in your initial post!

This is a classic case of realizing you made a bad post in the heat of the moment and now flip-flopping. Just own up to it, man. You'll feel a lot better.
 
I've notice when you say anything negative about any player people love they go to the card "you an idiot" even when people bring up facts. Heyward, CJ, Elder Upton, Minor, Wood, Teheran. People have their favorites and will defend them, I understand. I don't have favorites on this team but I will defend each player if their stats back it up and I will do the same if their stats are bad. The eye and hope is there I understand it, but no one should jump on another poster when they bring out facts and have not seen what their history suggest. If that is the case BJ should be better and others as well. What I am saying I do not normally say anything until I see a trend when hype doesn't back it up and of course being black when I defend myself, I bring guns, not knives to a fight. I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings and to Cy and deleted said posts but of course I don't know if they are still there.
 
No, I am not going to take it back. He is not that good, YET. Still too many PB in 11 games and not throwing enough runners out.

He can do it, but hasn't YET. He has not WOW me yet. So until he does, it will remain as thus.
 
It's probably been written on this board previously but what, exactly, is the postgame routine that our outfielders do when the Braves win?

I usually do, but sometimes people love attacking posters because their favorite players was questioned.

I really don't understand it.
 
I really hope Gattis plays LF primarily when he comes back. Can you imagine a lineup without Uggla and BJ? Sure would be nice to have every starter capable of a .250+ batting average.
 
Great game guys hitting.

JHey I hope the ASB doesn't cool you down.

CJ I don't know if you shut people up, but your performance today was awesome.

Hope we can take care of them tomorrow and the Nats lose again tonight.

We wish that, but JH in center scares me like when Bob Horner played 3B, anything that might happen will happen for someone who is a magnet for an injury.
