GDT: 7-29-13 Rockies at Braves, Feeling a little Beachy.

Anytime they show Walt Weiss, can't help but to think about that remarkable play in the postseason against the Astros

 

[Braves1976]

I don't intentionally walk anyone with no one on in the second inning. Then of course the pitcher bunts and a runner is in scoring position for the top of the order.

The pitcher cannot bunt with two outs. The object is to get the 8th hole hitter. If you do the inning is basically over unless a good hitting pitcher. De La Rosa is a bad hitting pitcher though. I was keeping that in mind.

Also, I didn't say walk him till it became a 3-2 count.

Damn Tulo is a great hitter.

I was thinking he was the 8 hole hitter but still my opinion remains. You don't give away base runners with no one on and less than 2 outs

I blame the mullet.

At least one of the guys in the booth can read.

I figured as much, but I think you're now just being stubborn.

Plunk. BJ catches that.

Everything is right over the plate. Oh well....have a better outing next time Beachy.

 

[Braves1976]

Well, Beachy clearly wasn't ready to return but Heyward usually catches that ball.

I honestly thought Heyward had it until he didn't.

If it had to be obvious, I am glad it happened before the deadline. We need another starter.

Stubborn? You wouldn't find many people that would walk Rosario with nobody on and one out. Regardless of the count

 

[Dalyn]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Fredi pitch Downs for three innings or so, just to welcome him to Atlanta.

 

[thethe]

Beachy still needs to give us another inning or two. Those kinds of things get overlooked but really help the team.

 

[COGPK]

This solidifies the fact we have to get a starter. Beachy will not be ready until next year.

 

[parkvadawg]

This is a serious buzzkill after the Cardinal massacre

 

[Braves1976]

Who was it that said we'd beat up on the Cardinals and then lose three of four against the Rockies?

He might make it through the 4th now. Wouldn't count on more than that.
