GDT- 9/27 .....The Attack of the Bobby Sunday Lineup

[CyYoung31]

I see Braves fans questioning snit for not using Culberson at third and Camargo at short. DOB either interacts mostly with our most ignorant fans or Braves fans are among the most ignorant in MLB thanks to our announcers and beat writers, etc. For example, check out this response in a thread questioning Snit for Culberson at short rather than Camargo:

"@PrestonKelso

Culberson says he's most comfortable at short, but I think it's obvious he plays better at third. Tough call"

I see posts like this regularly reading DOB and Bowman's twitter.

Camargo also isn’t a very good SS. I don’t care what the Braves brass is selling.

Camargo has a strong arm, same as Culberson does but lacks the range to play short as anything more than a back-up unlike Culberson. Plus Camargo is very good at third whereas Culberson worst position might be third despite his strong arm. He can play it but he obviously isn't as comfortable doing so like he is playing his natural position that got him here. It wasn't his bat that got him on the Dodgers roster for the playoffs last year. He had not hit a lick last year before the playoffs. It was his plus defense at short over the years in MLB and minors.

well hopefully Teheran has a better first inning tonight

A lot of Braves fans are just very casual, rely on eye tests, and remember Culberson's horrific game at SS in a blowout loss vs the Dodgers. As it's obvious everything other than maybe the eye test says Culberson is one of those odd players that is good at a premium position and weirdly not at the supposed easier positions.

This is awful

 

[Braves1976]

This is awful

his 80 mph fastball is too slow, we are done swinging when it arrives lol

 

[Braves1976]

Just have to wait till they remove the slow pitch soft ball pitcher and beat their pen again, Teheran is keeping us in it at least.

 

[Braves1976]

markakis had a few cookies to hit, just swung through the first and hit other to shortstop who made a nice play

He has thrown 13 pitches thu 6 innings. We will have to wait till next year to see that pen again.

 

[msstate7]

Lose this one, and we'll most likely be headed west for game 1

 

[Braves1976]

ump squeezed Julio costing him a strike that led to that walk.

 

[Braves1976]

good job by julio, need some offense

 

[msstate7]

Still time to come back, but unlike last night, this would be a bad loss

Jesus watching these reserves is like watching my sister fck

 

[Braves1976]

Vargas is owning us with slow and slower

 

[msstate7]

Get FF and flowers an AB next inning

do you think before you type this stuff?

 

[Braves1976]

Biddle in, uh oh

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

To be honest outside of the first game vs him we've been mostly pretty embarrassing vs Vargas. 83-85 MPH fastballs+an aggressive team that loves to swing=guys swinging as if it's a 90 MPH fastball and popping it up.

No not usually. You seen Duvall hit?
