GDT: 7-30-13 Rockies at Braves, Wood pitching, JHey lead-off

[nsacpi]

Gattis is just going through a tough stretch as does everyone else during a season. Hes thinking too much right now and confusing himself at the plate. He will be fine and im glad Fredi is sticking with him. Hes a guy that can go out there tonight and carry us to a win. Id like to see Terdo in there as well, but I also want to win and there is no reason to rest Upton, Freeman, or Heyward.

If you want to win you should want Terdo in there. N'est ce pas?

 

[bravesnumberone]

Good lineup. Would like for Gattis and Freddie to get the day off at some point. I don't know if Freeman is cooling down some or if that thumb is lingering, but he hasn't looked very sharp lately.

Well I aint playing him over McCann, Gattis, Freeman, Heyward, or Upton. Can he play 2b?

 

[Dalyn]

Well I aint playing him over McCann, Gattis, Freeman, Heyward, or Upton. Can he play 2b?

So you would let him play over one of our hottest hitters?

 

[nsacpi]

He doesn't want to play second. He thinks Uggla would hurt him.

 

[nsacpi]

Uggla's had a weird July .193/.280/.477

Well...kinda normal for him.

 

[Dalyn]

Uggla's had a weird July .193/.280/.477

.292 .393 .583 .976 in his last seven games.

 

[nsacpi]

Freeman's stopped hitting. We need to trade him before he loses all value. Terdo can take over at first.

"@mlbbowman: Gerald Laird is here today, but it's highly doubtful he'll be available. He's spent the past 4 days in pain, trying to pass a kidney stone."

BJ Upton set to begin rehab assignment tomorrow with GWI. Scheduled for 3 games. Schafer likely to go out maybe Saturday, GWI

 

[nsacpi]

It's been the Perils of Pauline lately.

Makes it even crazier that Gattis is starting.

[Nerfherders]

I was kind of hoping they'd give BJ the entire 20 days in rehab to figure out what's wrong with his swing

 

[Hulavol]

Per DOB: Cargo has a sore finger.....

Says here Gattis goes yard tonight. Simmons too.

Looking forward to seeing Wood tonight. I think he can get hard for at least seven innings....
