GDT 7/5/14 ATL (HARANG) vs. ARI (BOLSINGER) 4:10 ET

[NinersSBChamps]

I remember when I had Simmons batting second for a long time. He is definitely doing his job right now. Just needs to have a tad more patience and he will be a good hitter.

 

[yeezus]

Nats really going to improve their differential today.

 

[UNCBlue012]

CHRIS JOHNSON WALKED.

 

[yeezus]

What a rip from Tommy.

 

[UNCBlue012]

DFA Uggla... 2-3 with two walks for La Stella. Freaking A he's good.

 

[KB21]

BJ actually has a 0.346 OBP over his past 7 games and is 2 for 5 today. I can't explain it. Maybe moving him up in the order made him refocus and change his approach at the plate. It may be something that is only temporary as far as him producing.

As I type this, La Stella just rips his 7th double of the year.

 

[Runnin]

Very professional outing for Harang.

By the way, the double-chin cancels out the soul patch.

 

[yeezus]

Bethancourt hasn't lit the world on fire but I've liked his ABs for the most part.

La Stella has been EVERYTHING this team has needed offensively and defensively from a second basemen.

 

[Runnin]

Kirk Gibson needs to tweak his medication.

 

[Bama9507]

BJ Upton has become a professional hitter under Fredi's patient tutelage.

You joke but not many mangers have the balls to hit two sub .300 OBP guys 1 and 2.

Well, one Sub .300... Simmons' OBP is now .301

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Yeah I don't get how he wasn't hitting well in the minors.

 

[Garmel]

This is a perfect game for Hale to come in. Why waste S. Simmons?

[TURBO]

 

[yeezus]

There's another DP to end the game. Beautiful.
9 in a row! It was only a matter of time before we went on a run.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Wiiiinnn!

Aaron Harang = Houdini
Shae Simmons = the man

The Braves = Winners of nine straight!

Probably shouldn't have used him. Hadn't pitched since the 1st, so not terrible.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Harang turning into a ground BEEF pitcher.

Fixed.
