GDT: Cubs @ Braves 7/17

[Deester11]

Julio has been bad tonight and he's being hooked up mega from Freddie's defense.

But he's throwing harder so he must be good..

 

[jsebe10]

I will say Julio didn't give up any long balls and really the only two runs scored on a ball with eyes. It is impressive Julio didn't give up any dingers. The old Julio would have given up a couple in those situations.

The old Julio? Why you talking like this MFer is good and new & improved? He was fckn awful tonight and owes Freeman an 8-ball and a high end hooker.

Don't act like CB Bucknor didn't have a part to play in how bad JT was.

Julio hasn't been good but he's better than the trash I'm sure you want the Braves to trade all their prospects for.

He gave him a ton of borderline calls. Let's not blame Julio's lackluster game on the umpire.

FWIW Freddie Freeman saved Teheran twice from it being an ugly score.

Were those plays you would have made in your heyday? Pre shoulder injury, of course.

Edited: No vulgar comments.

Impressive throw from Kemp.

 

[TheBravos]

Kemp nailed him...monster D

 

[Garmel]

LOL!

 

[TheBravos]

I'm kidding but was a good throw...

 

[Garmel]

I'm glad we're playing SRod tonight.

 

[Enscheff]

Dammit Dorn.

 

[msstate7]

I'm glad we're playing SRod tonight.

He'll be in the lineup all week

 

[jsebe10]

Pitches right down the d*ck about waist high... I swear I've seen bette Pitching in college

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Don't start the crap

 

[TheBravos]

Few thoughts from tonight:

1. This is kinda where we are...not horrible but not great. We should be selling more than buying, but we should be in the wild card race next year.

2. Julio pitched ok. Yeah he struggled, but he gave up two runs against the Cubs at Suntrust....he's been giving up like seven here...I'll take it.

3. I think SRod came back too early, but why throw him in the fire tonight?? Lester has made everybody look bad.

4. Tonight is ok. We have overachieved , the Cubs have underachieved. Our records are close, but they are a way better team.

5. Kemp has a rocket arm.

6. Freddie is slumping...we might look to trade him.

7. Good to see Joe Simpson back.

8. Five, six and seven are jokes.

9. I would not be surprised if Dansby is moved in the right deal. Not saying I agree, but he is a big name that is expendable and he appears to be the odd man out right now.

10. Jon Lester made that look way too easy.

How do you walk heyward. Guy can't hit. Awful.

He's actually enjoying a pretty solid bounce-back after last year's disastrous showing.

 

[Enscheff]

Is Snit paying attention to how the Cubs just got Schwarber out in favor of a defensive replacement?

 

[msstate7]

Good wake up call today. We can't beat this team to get to the playoffs. We rushed SRod and we see how that's turning out. Dbacks added a great bad. Hopefully our FO sees that snit is hurting our long term by sitting Swanson. Johns, do you really wanna mortgage the future more in the hands of snit?

I'm ok with keeping what we have and let them sink or swim, but heck no to buying if it costs us Albies. Oh and coppy needs to tell snit that Swanson is gonna play 5 games a week or we'll find a manager that will play him
