He’s on the wrong team. And sucks really hard. Is he retarded? I really dislike the Braves when he is playing. And that scares me.

Dude looks fucking miserable out there. Like he doesn’t even want to play baseball anymore. I realize he’s probably bummed that he doesn’t play with the team that he spent his whole career with, but why the fuck didn’t he just retire then? His demeanor and energy out there seems way off… unless that’s how he always is… we’ll probably have to consult Angels fans for that.

I was willing to be patient because I was under the impression that he’s a slow starter and he would work well in a platoon role, but his defense and hitting have been atrocious thus far and he seems to genuinely dislike being out there. I don’t see the upside.

I think the Braves were high on getting Griffey and when he went to Seattle, we still wanted an outfielder and GA was it. Diaz looks good now and the pickup looks stupid, but I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing. Also, if we bring Hanson up, we start the Arbitration clock which isn’t a good thing.

…but fully support a thread like this about Anderson?

What a bitch. I hope he gets benched tomorrow after that display tonight.

the laziness is what frustrates me the most

just retire now

I’ve seen emo kids without their medications show more enthusiasm than Garret Blanderson. Who’s been pissing in his corn flakes? Pic related.

Not worth sitting out in the 54 degree weather, watching Anderson play the way he did. Did TV viewers hear the booing he got when he came up in the 9th? Because he did.

I’m trying to be clear-headed about the situation, and sure, at the end of the season he might have his slightly-declined, but still partially-acceptable offensive numbers, but after tonight’s defensive wizardry by him, I really don’t want the Braves to be the team to give him the chance to get his numbers. Slightly knee-jerk to the events of the night, but I’m afraid that like the OP, I get that awful impression that he just doesn’t want to be in Atlanta.

Did he ever make any comments after signing with the Braves? Did he do any live chats with the fans? Did he even compliment Bobby Cox? Hell, even Kotchman at least said something about Bobby Cox. He just kind of shows up like a disgruntled employee, and it shows in his body language and his production.

I’ve interacted with enough Angels fans to have known his reputation for being a lazy player, but after seeing him do it for the Braves does it actually begin to irritate me. He cost the team THREE outs; the two dropped fouls, and I’m not certain if you guys saw it on TV, but he had a foul ball that was an outstretched glove away from being an easy out. Had he caught that one, the wild pitch would have done no harm.

If anything at all, I just hope that Anderson gets the pine tomorrow. Let him clear his head and try and get over his abysmal performance, if he even gives a shit.

Bwhahaha…not sure how I missed the OP’s line about Louie Anderson, but that’s hilarious.

Hey, Garret! Guess who’s doesn’t approve:

(1) He can’t hit
(2) He can’t play left field
(3) He’s an unemotional player (even when emotion is clearly called for)

But I hardly think he’s hanging around for the paycheck.

Umm…My name is Nick, not Stevie Wonder (Literally and figuratively).

But lookit. This is the last straw. We have to win our next two games. Have to. And I’m sure GAnderson will be in at least one of those games. But it doesn’t matter. We have to win both games. We have to win this series. We could do it. Very easily. The Marlins had alot of well-hit balls tonite. That factors in a little bit, too. We (mainly one guy) had a very bad night. We just can’t have any more bad nights for a while.

At least we’re not as shitty as the Nats or indians.

.

If we drop two of three, we’re still only a game back of first place with 153 games left. That’s not exactly a bad place to be sitting

actually made me chuckle

Also, Chipper needs to man up, and bench himself if he can’t get the ball out of the infield yet.

and you lost me….his SLG is .650 which by all acounts means he is gettin the ball out of hte infield…and he’s battin 400…and he has a HR (generally HRs leave the IF..)

i dont care what he did tongiht..CHipper plays if he thinks he’s healthy…ill take my chances that he is better hurt than most are healthy..everytime

Anderson also cost more than Ohman wanted.

I am fully aboard the “No More GA” train. I was willing to give him a chance, but he had had over a week to do something productive both on the offensive and defensive side. He has failed at both. I am all for Diaz playing everyday, or calling up SWAGGA and platooning them. No more GA.

Bring on SWAGGA and Diaz. Last night’s “performance” by GA was almost unbelievable.

You know why he should be on the bench? Because you can’t spell Garret without ARR. He’s a secret pirate!

Go ahead and shoot me now.

Honestly, too many FUGA threads to post this in.
