I would never have thought of Heyward as a leadoff man. I must be dreaming!

True but we don't have enough.

2 of Beachy, Wood, and Maholm we won't win alot of 8-9 games

The only ones out there are Peavy and Norris.

Upgrades, yes, significant ones, no.

Still say another righty from the pen is more needed.

yep he is but we need better then what he can give us the rest of the year IMO

I don't think we do honestly. The difference between him and a reasonable piece that we can upgrade is at most what benefit? 2 wins?

Mrs. Meta · Jul 30, 2013

That was neat.

thethe · Jul 30, 2013

Please Gattis. Be patient. Its getting ugly lately.

Gary82 · Jul 30, 2013

Alright Gattis. Sac Fly time

CrimsonCowboy · Jul 30, 2013

Gattis is even dangerous to umpire gear

Upton and Heyward don't like baseball

2 wins or kill the pen every time he starts?

You also have to count all the extra innings on the bullpen if Wood stays in the rotation. This isn't just about winning the division.

That won't happen every time he starts. Braves have been rewarded in showing faith to some of their other young arms.

Innings on the bullpen doesn't matter in September.

Lol, this ab is cracking me up.

thethe · Jul 30, 2013

Gattis struggling a lot right now. But that was a decent AB.

We will be lucky to get five out of him on a regular basis.

Selfish at-bat from Gattis with a runner at third.
