GDT: 7/31/13 Rockies at Braves

[The Tariff King]

Good work Uggla, you've been honoring BJ nicely with his time on the DL.

I think you've cut BJ's team lead in offensive f-bombs in half while he's been on the dl.

 

[The Tariff King]

Simmons is unbelievable right now.

 

[Dalyn]

Simmons is a completely different hitter at the bottom of the order. Love it.

 

[Braves1976]

Gonna miss Mac after this year...

Same here. I sure wish we'd went cheap on centerfield to save money for Mac.

Simmons does it again!

 

[anthmilliu]

simmons needs to stay there. he has looked great without the pressure up top

 

[BremanFan88]

Simmons > Tulo

 

[Runnin]

Rollin rollin rollin
Rollin rollin rollin

 

[Heyward]

While all logic says we shouldn't sign him. I think he's back

I don't think we can afford him....

Only way is if he takes a slightly lesser deal to stay. When Mac is right, it's great to watch him, such a great player and person.

 

[parkvadawg]

Was gonna make a thread about him a few days ago.

Worry his lack of homeruns though.

I am as well. I think he ends with 27. Couple mini spurts

 

[Dalyn]

Hilarious.

 

[The Tariff King]

Mike gets by with a little minor help with the bat.

 

[mossy]

 

[weso1]

Pour it on.

 

[Five]

So what is Uggla thinking right now?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Like your favorite radio station, the hits just keep on coming

 

[Krovahn]

Even Mikey wanted to join the offensive fun!

 

[Heyward]

Same here. I sure wish we'd went cheap on centerfield to save money for Mac.

Simmons does it again!

BJ's deal won't affect Mac.

We can afford Mac but not at 16-20 million per year which he may get elsewhere.

 

[BremanFan88]

Simmons is a completely different hitter at the bottom of the order. Love it.

It fits his style. Pitchers want to get the 8th place hitter out and Simmons doesn't want to strike out. He's going to get good pitches and make some kind of contact.

 

[bravesnumberone]

And that right there is why we're starting to win more consistently. Simple.

 

[Braves1976]

Minor isn't just an ace pitcher, he can also hit a little bit. Hehe.
