GDT #20, 4/22/'14: Marlins (Fernandez) @ Braves (Wood), 7:10 EST

BJ just needs at bats to get going. That's why he is second. I would bat him leadoff but its illegal to bat two lefties in a row.

Kind of like it's illegal to let anything other than a lefty reliever face a lefty batter? Damn man, that must be tough. I don't envy you.

Now it makes sense. I won't question it again. Thanks for the Bobby Jr.

So hypothetically if LaStella was up and hitting leadoff, what would you do with Heyward? Would you bat him 9th so he could be sort of a "second leadoff" man, or 8th so Andrelton can be a leadoff guy in front of Heyward?

Wood is good.

[TDlxANDER]

Wood's really throwing well so far tonight (winks).

Crap, I still can't seem to get these jokes right.

[The Chosen One]

Wood needs a quickie so he can last a long time in this game. 30 pitches after 2.

[50PoundHead]

Why does Wood grab his wood after every pitch?

He has to shake the splinters out of his jock strap.

I think Fernandez is going to give Gattis a rough night.

[The Chosen One]

Chip: "That pitch to Upton didn't appear to be a strike".

Pitch was at least a foot off in the dirt. Good call Chip.

[yeezus]

Fernandez is going to K a minimum of 12.

Well is he wrong????

[bravesnumberone]

Why do people feel the need to bitch about Fernandez's antics? Dude is pretty freaking good as is.

[The Chosen One]

Well is he wrong????

I was simply admiring his amazing eye.

Reminds me of this:

[Fredi Gonzalez]

Hey Fredi:

Your season is on the line. Bottom of the 8th ahead by one with two outs and the opponent has the potential winning run at the plate. Coincidentally, you have the best closer in baseball standing in the bullpen.

What do you do? What goes through Fredi Gonzalez's mind?

I've always been curious.

Thanks. I'm a huge fan.

Well I stick to the plan is what I do. And to be honest I was thinking about how much my balls iched.

I think Fernandez is going to give Gattis a rough night.

Didn't Gattis homer off him last time in Miami?

[thethe]

Hey Freddi...how long are you going to keep trotting UUGGGGGGLA out there?

[Heyward]

Didn't Gattis homer off him last time in Miami?

Freeman is the only one who has homered off Fernandez but i could be wrong.

[The Chosen One]

WOW.

Great play Wood. His weird follow through allowed him to catch it.

[bravesnumberone]

Comebacker speared by Wood.
