GDT: #74 1:35 EST (Santana) Braves @ (Roark) Nats.

[CrimsonCowboy]

No the Braves need hitters. Plain and simple.

I agree the offense needs to be better, but considering how the roster is set up, how do you make a trade for that part of the team? I just don't see how.

 

[Garmel]

I thought it was way too soon to put him there

I wouldn't be surprised that Walker is working with him and is already screwing up his approach.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Santana can't even throw a strike to first base.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Need to somehow get out of this jam.

 

[Tapate50]

Boy, we have given them free bases galore between last night and tonight. Look like a monkey you know whating a football doing it.

 

[Tapate50]

Ump being a little stingy there

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Good battle from Santana. Now then offense can have another 11 pitch inning.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

I love Wren's work to rebuild as fast as he did to get us back in contention, but darn these guys are a mess. Win two, lose two, Got some work to do. And Yeezus, this a rant not a whine.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

I swear Uggla could do what LaStella has done in this series.

 

[Garmel]

They give us a two base error and a free walk on the house on a mistake by the umpire and we still can't score.

 

[jsebe10]

Just can't hit man. Just can't hit.

Our offense is back stinking since Heyward moved off leadoff spot

You start by coming to grips as a ball club/front office that you fcked up in the signing of that waste if space in CF and have to be willing to put payroll on the back burner a delegate that ass to a bench player. He's earned nothing and deserves nothing.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

Nah, it's not Heyward being moved, we just can't hit quality pitching.

 

[jsebe10]

I know braves fans love their ball club and these guys, but he's dragging this fan base down. I've never ran into a braves fan that has anything positive to say about BJ.

Huh? Our offense stunk with Heyward leading off. How has that changed?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

And Jason has hit better in the 5 spot too. Small sample size.

He joins the list of Reggie Sanders and Uggla that just couldn't perform as a Brave, thank God there is only three years left...

It was better while Heyward was at leadoff and hitting well. He sparks the offense when he's going well just like he did last summer.

What an at bat by La Stella
