The plus is hes facing the Giants, who are solid but not overwhelming offensively.

Thoroughly was enjoying the Orioles game until the delay happened. That 6th inning was awesome and there is something "whimsical" or "childlike" about watching a game where the guys are playing in the mud and pouring rain...
so then I switched over to the Blue Jays/Sox game...lasted 10 seconds before they called it for fog... SOOOO....then I switched the the RedSox vs Rays game and within 1 minute of it being in I see Joyce hit by a pitch and the benches getting cleared in an all out donny broook. kinda.... but yeah... A GREAT NIGHT FOR BASEBALL |
John Lackey's contract somehow makes the Yankees look sensible.
|
Sox-Jays is damn fun to watch tonight
|
Love these games delayed by inclement weather. Goofy shit always seems to happen.
|
I just hate that Evan Gattis isn't playing every day. Even so, putting up some ridiculous pinch hit stats.
|
Chris Davis, 0 for his last 15.
CAN YOU SAY TRIPLE CROWN!!!! |
I think the way Atlanta is using Gattis is brilliant. Hes below average at getting on base, and if he plays every day, that probably gets exploited. Instead, giving him regular at bats as the premier bench guy gives him a chance to do a lot of damage without getting over exposed and possibly slumping. Brilliant.
|
Gattis is average at getting on base (better than Simmons, Heyward, Uggla, and BJ Upton right now), and leads the team in OPS and HR. He led the teams in RBIs for a while as well. I think he is maybe the best bench bat in the league, but I hate that we don't have a place to put him.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/search/%23Braves">#Braves</a> Gattis is 6-for-8 with a double and four homers as a pinch-hitter. Just absurd.</p>— David O'Brien (@ajcbraves) <a href="https://twitter.com/ajcbraves/status/344321212857585664">June 11, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |
Just looked him up, and you're right about his obp. Hadn't looked in a but. He pikes on RBIs because hes hitting for ungodly power in RBI spots, including pinch hitting. He still gets steady playing time, and thats been a huge plus for Atl. Considering hes got no position, they're doing a good job utilizing him.
|
He has had the most plate attempts for any catcher on the team, but if McCann had started the year I'm not sure we'd be talking much about Gattis. I've just watched more games that I would like of the Braves offense scuffling and Gattis being stuck on the bench. I want him to play because I want him to get enough experience to continue adjusting to the Majors. It's likely that McCann is on his way out in ATL, so this might only be a problem this year.
And I do hope they make an exception and put him in the HR Derby. He'd be a prime candidate. |
Jose Bautista ties the game bottom of the 9th 2 out 1-2 pitch with a solo jack!
|
Braves lose 3-2, and Gattis sits on the bench the whole game. Not sure why they didn't pinch hit Gattis for McCann in the 9th since they had a lefty pitching.
|
Wooo Jays win.
Tyler Flowers might be the only catcher more useless than J.P Arencibia |
David Wright and Robinson Cano are YOUR Captains in this year's Home Run Derby.
|
Love seeing Donnie Baseball throw Trammel to the ground.

At least Flowers doesn't try to throw out runners from his knees like Arencibia.
Yes, a MAJOR LEAGUE catcher does that. Explains why he's thrown out one runner all season. |
Damn the Orioles are getting ass raped in the 7th :(

Pudge could do it, but that's because he was a beast.

No way he's gonna have along career at catcher at this rate. Maybe a move to 1st base might be a better option. Can't be worse than Ike Davis.

<font color=goldenrod>The Mets have promised Terry Collins that his job is safe for this year and his contract status will be revisited at the end of the season. More troubling though, reports out of Mets camp is that Wally Backman has ZERO chance of managing the team despite him moving up the ranks of the organization. They feel he would be too much of a headcase to deal with the NY media.
Because why would you ever want a manager that the players have raved about and that would rejuvenate the fan base? I'm sure the Bob Geren Era will inspire more confidence.</font> |

One year ago today, "perfect." There's Luscious Lou and The Fraze. |
CarGo and Dexter Fowler hurt in the same game
*gunshot to face* |
<font color=goldenrod>Matt Harvey would be so much happier if he played on a team that had one iota of offense.</font>
|
Tulo also hurt
fuckkkkkkkkk uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu |
The sheer amount of LOB in this Yankees game are killing me. Unbelieveable choking here.
