GDT 9/25/13: Brewers (Lohse) @ Braves (Maholm) 7:10 PM

[Dalyn]

Gattis watched that one a bit long and didn't make it to second.

Gattis watched that one a bit long and didn't make it to second.

I don't think Gattis was ever going to make it to second on that.

 

[Dalyn]

McCann. HR. Make it happen.

By the way, Dalyn: I'm not personally a huge Bukowski fan (though I've only read a little), but that quote you're using as a signature is damn perspicacious.

 

[striker42]

No carry at all to ball tonight.

 

[stpeteirish]

Dan Uggla's bat is sooooooooooo slow and all he tries to do is pull the ball out of the park. The result of that is going to be a lot of pop ups in the infield.

yeah I can't blame the hitting coaches for Uggla. If he tried to change his approach he's still suck.Simmons, OTOH, would be a much better hittier if they could get him to stop trying to pull everything.

And BJ, I have no idea. Maybe he should just bunt. Everytime.

That's Bukowski for you. Raw and vulgar insight.

 

[ProbationDeac]

Offense looks horrible tonight. Hasn't been talk about a lot but Macs trend of September slumps has continued. Batting just .173 for the month.

 

[jpx7]

Less than auspicious beginning for Varvaro.

 

[striker42]

Varvaro reminds me a lot of Manny Acosta. Very good stuff, very bad in key situations.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah except we're not going to score, so it's not all that key of a situation.

 

[striker42]

Yeah except we're not going to score, so it's not all that key of a situation.

Someone tell Varvaro that, maybe he'll get someone out.

 

[striker42]

Someone tell Varvaro that, maybe he'll get someone out.

Guess thats what Roger told him.

 

[striker42]

Can no Brave take a pitch?

 

[jpx7]

Lord BAbip has looked downright plebeian the last few weeks.

 

[NYCBrave]

Can no Brave take a pitch?

He's not throwing any balls. It's not like they're swinging at junk here. Lohse is just dominant tonight. I actually haven't seen a pitcher have this type of command in a game all season.

 

[striker42]

80 pitches through 8 innings. You can only credit the pitcher so much for that. You might not be able to score runs but you can have good ABs and when you're seeing 10 pitches an inning, you're not having good ABs. Tip your cap to Lohse for beating you, go hit the cages and watch the film after the game to make up for playing so poorly.

 

[Dalyn]

Any kids watching this game should report the team to a parent, teacher, or guardian immediately. It is NOT your fault. Don't let them get away with it.

 

[stpeteirish]

Can no Brave take a pitch?

dude, they're all stikes.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Lohse is pitching lights out, but this has been a recurring problem for us. Better get it fixed in a damn hurry, or we'll be done by next Sunday.
