Atlanta Braves II

I feel bad for Mac right now

 

[OrangeWilly]

Missed a little of the game. Is there any good explanation for Fredi doing a double-switch when he brought in Venters -- who's exclusively a one-inning pitcher anyway?

Double switches make you look smart...Didnt you hear?

Yeah, it's because FF had to leave the game with vision problems in his right eye.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Blurred vision in his right eye, they said.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Maybe he was afraid he'd forget to pinch hit for Venters in the bottom of the inning, so he went ahead and made the move so he wouldn't have to worry about it.

 

[OrangeWilly]

damn just missed.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Man that sounded good off the bat. Crap.

We used to call that being hung over like a SOB. But I think you used the official term.

 

[OrangeWilly]

Clutch time for Larry.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

God bless, Chapman can freaking bring it.

 

[OrangeWilly]

All you have to do is get the big part of the bat on it. easily spoken.

 

[underscore]

Tough match-up for Heyward if this guy can keep it on his hands.

 

[OrangeWilly]

He should throw JHey 3 strikes and go about his business.

 

[OrangeWilly]

Heyward should have worn that one.




At 101 Im not wearing it.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Well crap.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Left-handed batters are hitting.096 against Chapman in his career. Not surprising.

 

[King Webbsticles]

Damn I wish Chipper could have declined the walk and had a chance to hit.

Once he walked it was painfully obvious what was going to happen against Heyward.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Once he got two strikes on Heyward it was over. About all a lefty can do there is guess fastball and hope he's right.

Chapman walks a ton of guys, but if he can learn to consistently get even strike one, he's going to have a really long and lucrative career.

Kinda had to be Barry Bonds to have a chance there.

 

[King Webbsticles]

It is a shame cause Chipper was right on him, he just never got a pitch to hit. Chipper has one of the best batter eyes in baseball.

 

[OrangeWilly]

Terrible AB from Hinske there.

Well, yes. You're an overpowering lefthander against whom LHBs are mostly helpless. You're facing a HOFer batting right-handed, you've got a base open with two outs, and there's a lefty on-deck. You're an idiot if you throw him anything he can hit.

Heyward's got a great batting eye too. Chapman just started him off with two strikes.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Terrible AB from Hinske there.

I would still really, really like to know what Fredi was thinking, double-switching Freeman out of the game. Was he really planning to have Venters go two innings?

Freeman had vision issues with his right eye. Had to leave the game.

Well, no ****. That's why it was a shame he couldn't get lucky on a mistake. You have already stated Chapman's struggles with accuracy.

Heyward started with two strikes because he attempted to swing at a ball that nearly hit him.
