GDT: Braves @ Phillies (July 7, 2013, SERIOUSLY)

[TURBO]

such a weak AB by Justin. Pitchers dont fear him.

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Upton's thumb is bothering him, I'm convinced of it.

 

[Lville21]

I've seen many pathetic Justin at-bats this year, but that may be the worst.

The Phillies announcer said what I just posted. Pulling head off to pull. Justin has went opposite field before and in this park it is easy to do but no IQ will get you this result.

 

[weso1]

J UP really opened himself up that AB. Didn't stay close at all.

 

[jason27nc]

this will make it three games in a row with HR's and lose.

What happen yesterday?

 

[sentenza]

This is more then bad! Terrible!

3 swinging strikes! Give him some glasses!

 

[stpeteirish]

Justin Upton can't hit worth a damn right now. Hurt? Don't think so, just sucks. Watching someone else play might help get his head adjusted.

I don't think it's bad IQ as much as it's just poor mechanics.

oops.

yep, you nailed it. He wanted to pull a homer on sliders and stuff on the outer half. Until he gets a brain and go the other way, might as well get use to it.

i think we're all pretty used to it.

 

[TURBO]

That was outside

 

[sentenza]

Pitch 2 was a ball when Medlen pitched!

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Wasted opportunity

 

[AerchAngel]

Eddings suck

 

[VirginiaBrave]

Getting fed up with both Uptons. They both just don't play "Braves way" imo. If the past is an indication both will have short stays in Atl.

 

[weso1]

And now a good example of why it's bad to try and protect the plate.

Maybe they can have a reality show called "Striking out with the Uptons".

All they have to do is show their at-bats for the season. It might get great reviews in the Tampa and San Diego area.

Really? that ball was in the other batters box. Not even close to what I am talking about.
