Holy crap BJ. STOP STRIKING OUT.

It's tough to tell when someone is sarcastic or not on the interwebz.

82% of the things I say are oozing with sarcasm.

 

[Braves1976]

Those stranded runners already hurt. Now pitcher leads off next inning and Reed vs a righty in Heyward's spot.

 

[thethe]

Its a good feeling!

And bad spelling.

Had a chance to really run Latos pitch count up. Hudson has more pitches after 3. 61-59

 

[BremanFan88]

They still haven't changed that "error" yet. That's a tough break.

Ok? I'm not hating on Chris as a hitter. He's an above average hitter. He has a high line drive rate which leads to a higher BABIP. I think he can be a 350ish BABIP guy throughout his prime. I have no issues with his hitting. But I do have issues with him overall as a player. He is a stop gap until he starts making serious money.

I never said he was a long-term option at 3B. I know his defense is terrible. And I know he won't keep up this kind of offensive production. I was just pointing out that if he were even an average defensive player than his career normal hitting line would be fine on this team as it is currently constructed. Nothing more and nothing less. You can't have a superstar at every position with the payroll budgets the Braves have.

Well the Johnson haters may be getting their wish. Looks like he is hurt.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Nats and Phillies are tied at 0 in the 5th.

Good point. CJ looks like he's hurting at third too. So though 3-3 I am not liking how this night is going. Well, outside of Freeman as usual.

Huh? I missed it.

 

[ChapelHillMatt]

Chipper is even knocking Johnson's defense. LOL

I didn't take it that way at all. He said he wasn't great but not terrible. Just average.....much like himself.

Fair enough.

 

[Gary82]

Our players are dropping like flies

 

[TDlxANDER]

BJ Upton is good at what again?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Fair enough.

Who are you? I don't recognize this guy at all.

 

[jason27nc]

1-0 Phillies now.

Cashing big-ass checks?
