GDT 7/27 THE RETURN OF MAXIMUM DUVALL....

[bravesfanMatt]

It was a bold strategy to walk Fried to get to Acuna. Wonder if they will try that again.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Ronald CRUSHED that. Ender too.

Would love to see Ender go on a tear and re-solidify himself in the lineup.

 

[USMA76]

I hope he hits another one

...or several. Seriously, I just don't want him to get plunked as we don't need any more outfielders taking trips to the IL.

wonder what the scouting report on Fried is

 

[Carp]

I think its actually the Braves themselves that think that Duvall can't be a part-time player, they think that he has to be an everyday player that is fed tons of at bats, as this is not a token start. DOB said he's going to get the majority of the starts at least through the end of July.

May be seeing what we Duvall has left before deciding if another OFer is needed.

 

[Heyward]

Swanson gets to that ball, and probably throws out SRod.

 

[CyYoung31]

What a throw by Acuna. Shame Donaldson couldn’t hang on.

 

[AerchAngel]

The Dong is effing up the joint.

 

[CyYoung31]

Dude, Flowers. Catching the ball is in the ****ing name of your position. Learn how to do it.

 

[USMA76]

Are you kidding me, Flowers?! Way to cost the team a run through lazy, inattentive play.

 

[CyYoung31]

And Fried just walked an auto-out. Awful.

 

[USMA76]

I thought a passed ball was considered an error on the catcher? Guess not since Fried's ERA went up after the Phillies initial run scored.

Edit: Never mind, the box score on GameTracker just corrected.

 

[Heyward]

Good pitch Max, Flowers and his errors are really getting annoying.

 

[CyYoung31]

Flowers now has 12 passed balls on the year. That leads the majors. He sucks.

Grandal needs to be priority #1 this winter.

As you alluded, perhaps when Flowers is behind the plate they should change the name of the position.

 

[USMA76]

Nice to see that when JD hits a ball off the outfield wall, he can actually get to second base.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Joshua!

 

[USMA76]

Phila-elphia Phillies...no "d."
