GDT 8/17/2013: Nationals @ Braves

[Murphfan]

I think Murphy is a little too hyper to be in the booth which is why he talks so much. But he's perfect for Braves Live. I love Glavine in the booth. Which he was there for every game.

You can tell Murph's nervous. He's better now, but Glavine is the nuts.

Which is why I think Medlen's long-term future will be as a reliever. There's no shame in that.

Then we need to sell high and trade him in the off season before this becomes the case. I'm sure we could trick Detroit or Anaheim into taking him.

No one will even post on the scout GDT. Man.

Are you shocked? Pattio turned it into his own little playground. Swear the guy must have had 4 different screen names.

 

[Murphfan]

CJ's just a sucker for an offspeed pitch in the dirt. Wish he'd fix that.

 

[Runnin]

We still only have 8 hits. Time to put something together.

 

[NYCBrave]

Either are better than listening to Chip try to sound like an analyst.

Glavine's so good because he's so laid back and never really gets excited or yells in the booth.

Believe it or not, I actually don't like Glavine in the booth. He doesn't have the personality or voice for it, and to me he often times comes off arrogant. He's the opposite of Smoltz, who in my opinion is one of the better booth guys.

If the Braves tie the game here or win it I might pass out.

Freddie is more swing happy than normal.

Glavine has a sarcastic sense of humor, where as Smoltz was more direct with his humor.

Glavine's approach is I'm having a beer with you and we're just ranting about the game.

Smoltz's approach is, I'm a 19 year veteran, and here's what my view of the game is.

Nothing wrong with either tbh.

Agreed. That's also why I'd trade him this off-season, at least in part.

Unfortunately. Braves have just 4 games this month with 10 or more hits. Just twice in the last 13 games.

I personally would rather have the knowledge than the flash. Tom has that. But all in all, it's a personal preference. I can understand your point.

Wren has fleeced the Angels twice in the last calender year. Maybe he can do it again. LOL.

 

[Runnin]

That's rather generous.

 

[AUTiger7222]

THAT"S NOT A STRIKE!

Except my opinion of Glavine is, he comes off like "I'm having a beer with you, but I'm also being a prickish, sarcastic, know it all"

 

[The Tariff King]

Well this is depressing.

Oh well, go for the series win tomorrow.

 

[jsebe10]

WTF kind of AB was that!?!?!?

 

[Murphfan]

DON'T SWING AT THE SLIDER!
