GDT 8/17/2013: Nationals @ Braves

[Murphfan]

Paul Byrd mentioned something about the eye surgery throwing his depth perception off. That's the last thing we'd need with Uggs playing second.

Yeah, but he also said that it didn't last long, and Uggs will be out another week+.

 

[bravesnumberone]

This upcoming inning is going to be our best chance. Gotta swing the bats. No damn caught looking strikeouts or popups.

 

[Heyward]

Good job Downs, be cool if he pitched a little more.

Get a bloop and a blast..

 

[bravesnumberone]

The good thing is I've always felt this was a vision issue with Uggla more than anything. So hopefully he gets back to old form in time for October.

 

[BravesBlock]

Ok braves and fans. It is time to wake up and increase the intensity. Time to take the lead in this game. It seems like it has been a looooong booooring game so far. We need some excitement. Be nice to start off with a pinch hit homer from Gattis to get the crowd back into it and to wake up the folks at home lying on their couch.

I wasn't sure until he started ducking from breaking balls. That's a telltale sign.

With how bad our bottom 3 is, yes but do have Gattis on the bench...

Get one runner on, no DP, and Jason will get one more chance.

Nevermind, need two runners on in the next two innings.

 

[Murphfan]

Yep.

 

[TURBO]

That wasnt a strike

 

[Heyward]

Take two.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Just because it's 3-0 doesn't mean you have to call it a strike, douche.

 

[Murphfan]

There's your usual bogus strike call late in the game.

 

[Heyward]

That looked outside.

Strike one.

 

[TURBO]

should have been a walk..

 

[bravesnumberone]

Six balls and he winds up striking out.

 

[Krovahn]

Shouldda been a walk, thanks ump. Smh.

 

[zitothebrave]

Freaking ump

 

[TURBO]

Jason crushed that one foul

 

[Krovahn]

that was 4 inches outside. Ugh.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Ugh. **** it.
