GDT 8/13 Braves vs. Dodgers: Simba Back, Heyward Leading Off!

[NinersSBChamps]

I don't know if CJ's bunt is a "give up" move or smart team play. Hopefully, it'll give us a spark.

It's a smart move. Not leaving anything up to BJ is a wise move always.

I'm reminded of a line by Bob Uecker in "Major League"'--a base runner, i think I'll wet my pants.

2-0, one of our top RISP guys at the plate (third behind Freeman and Stella!), and Fredi calls the bunt. Nice job getting it down, CJ. Too bad our idiot manager took the bat out of your hands.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Sacrifice bunt turns out to be the right call.

Don't try and tell me you think it was a called sacrifice bunt from the dugout.

Strongly disagree, first of all, CJ did that on his own, and with as bad this team was struggling it was incumbent upon him to get him at least to third base. In this case you couldn't be more wrong.

I think CJ did that on his own.

That bunt by CJ was the smartest thing I have seen a Braves player do since that nine game winning streak.

Kinda off topic but we seem to be giving up a lot of hits to pitchers

 

[CyYoung31]

Reminds me when someone mentioned that we had a 2-year window for this team (before extensions).

Why does Fredi look so weird in that picture? It looks like someone melded together his face with Reed Johnson's in Photoshop.

 

[Dalyn]

.292 .322 .478 .800 with RISP for CJ.

I don't know. It is an untouched photo.

 

[Dalyn]

If people around here are right, Fredi hasn't called a bunt since 2011.

What the heck is your problem?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Good grief, B.J.

 

[USMA76]

There's a tight baseball game going on here, BJ. Maybe you'd like to be a part of it.

 

[bravesnumberone]

How the **** does it take so long for a CF to get to the ball? Yank hiss ass out of the game.

And now Ervin is piddling around.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

What the heck is your problem?

Don't have one. I just know you got Fredi's back.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Don't have one. I just know you got Fredi's back.

But I also know that was likely Johnson's call. If I would have thought it came from the dugout, I would have given them credit.

 

[USMA76]

At least LA's #8 and #9 hitters didn't get any RBIs in the fourth inning.

 

[Dalyn]

Guys. Guys. Calm down. We all hate the same team.
