GDT#7, 4/8/'14: Braves (Harang) vs. Mutts (Colon) 7:05 PM EST [HOME OPENER]

Criminy. We are really scuffling right now. I have a pretty high threshold for frustration with the day-to-day struggles of the team, but this sucks to watch.
 
We need to remove BJ from the two hole and put someone that a pitcher fears, then Heyward is more likely to break out. No reason to give him as much to hit with BJ behind him, esp. with two outs.
 
This is why I was so happy we ditched Freddy for Harang... Harang actually has the ability to make people swing and miss. Always has
 
On the bright side, if Harang makes it through six with one allowed . . . chapeau, big man. Make pitch.
 
Harang is at 100 pitches, I'd take him out here. With our bullpen no reason to push it.

We're not trying to save the dude's arm, I guess. If things break right he won't be starting for us down the stretch. Leave him in if he's still effective.

It is just in the past Harang has lost it fast when his pitch count got high. But he got through six so that's good.
