GDT 9/8/14: Braves (Minor) @ Nationals (Fister) 7:05 PM [Platoon GDT]

You know the thing that's most disappointing, is this is the biggest series and the Braves came out lethargic, didn't seem interested. No one seems to care, no one gets pissed, so guess what if they don't care, I don't care if they don't win another game all year. Maybe we'll get ride some of these sorry asses in the off-season and have a team that cares.
 
Just what I want to see on here. Pissing contest of who's been worse: CJ and Simmons. I'd rather we be 11.5 back in the Wild Card. It'd suck, but it'd be far less frustrating.

Seems like the players agree with you with their lack of intensity
 
Instead of Fox Sports showing all these dazzling defensive plays from Simba, maybe they should show more of the 500-foot home runs he hits with that big swing of his.

Oh, wait....

They've been playing dead ever since the no-hitter, when the calendar hit September. It's the same **** as 2011, only over a longer period of time.

Simmons needs to be retaught his swing. I talked about this in the past. His hand/eye is amazing as he makes so much contact with that huge swing. If he cut it down and hit more drives he could be a mediocre hitter.

Wow according to the Nats announcers, every pitch Storen threw there was the greatest pitch ever thrown.

I'll never forget, I think it was Rendon who hit a ground ball to Chris Johnson. Chris fields it and throws it high and wide. Freeman jumps in the air, catches the ball and does a 180* swipe tag to get Rendon out before landing back on the ground.

FP Santangelo says "Wow! What an athletic move by......Rendon to try and avoid that tag!".

FP Santangelo. LOL. What a rube.

Some quotes from Bowman's story:

"Tonight was a baseball game, a well-played baseball game on both sides and well pitched," Braves right fielder Jason Heyward said. "No errors or mistakes there for either team. Their pitcher was able to hold us to one less run, and them getting the extra run with a groundout. It didn't take a lot. That's the definition of a good game."

Yes, a good game. More pitiful offensive efforts.

"This is my fifth year, and every year I've been fortunate enough to play for something coming down the stretch," Heyward said. "This year is no different. Tomorrow is another game."

True, but the majority of this team is not playing like they're playing for anything. Going through the motions. Refusing to make adjustments. Refusing to do what it takes. And the manager is certainly not managing like there is anything to play for. Starting a piece of fail when you have a better option, both offensively and defensively. Using a bad hitter to pinch hit for a better one when you've got several better options on the bench.
