GDT: Braves @ Phillies (June 29th) Dawn of the Planet of the Harangutan

[The Tariff King]

i know we've had a good series this weekend against Philly, but I think some demotions are in order after today's GDT. Not liking what I'm seeing out of some of you.

Listening on radio. Don Sutton still awful at play by play.

My only complaint about DS as play-by-play is that he is too understated in his call of the action. I honestly think he's the best or at least in the best group of radio color announcers. He's smart, informative, and entertaining.

The current Phillies pitcher is so good that when Sandberg is asked if he should pitch more often, he responds, "De Fratus? Mas!"

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Nice defense, Phillies

The Sith Laird!

I believe he is Lord BABIP's superior.

 

[The Tariff King]

That's the type of Lairdership that doesn't count in the score box.

The fear he instills in other teams' defenses.

 

[nsacpi]

Still saving that bunt triple for a more important occasion.

Phillies throwing it all over the field. think Laird needed to stop at second just to catch his breath

 

[nsacpi]

I say rest Gattis some more. His knees hoit.

I think a lawsuit is in order. He is stealing our material in a rather non-creative way.

A bunt single for Laird? My mind is completely blown.

Laird is the master of the infield hit. Sometimes for extra bases.

BJ does a great job working the count and then just strikes out on a crapper of a pitch

 

[MadduxFanII]

Yes, BJ, you did tip that into the dirt. On the other hand, stop bitching, you swung at a pitch in the other batter's box that would have bounced had you not swung at it.

 

[mossy]

lol "Lairold". It works.

This is what happens when you have to make up your mind whether to swing when the ball is still in the pitcher's hand.

Perhaps we don't give him enough credit because he's Fredi's doppelgänger.

Harang doing a great job trying to give them the lead. Warm the pen up

Dude continues to pitch WELL above any level we hoped and people still complain about him. Harang rocks!

 

[nsacpi]

Harang and Laird have had gargantuan games.
