GDT #25, 2/29/'14: Braves (Wood) vs. Marlins (Fernandez)

[UNCBlue012]

It's a bit early (as always!), but it seems to be giving us good luck so far! But, we're in for a rematch of the unbelievable game at Turner last week! With a ballpark as large as Marlins Park, this could truly be a lot of fun... for the pitchers. It'll be interesting to see if we can get any runs off of Fernandez; the guy is 11-0 in his career at Marlins Park and has been as dominant as anyone this year. Nonetheless, I expect a pretty decent day for most of the guys, I hope Jason can give us a few hits and Justin can continue his hot-streak!

#Marlins Fernandez (faces #Braves Tues) has never lost at Marlins Park: 11-0 w/ 1.07 ERA, .164 OA in 18 starts w/ 135K/30BB in 117 2/3 IP

Projected Lineup:
1. J. Heyward
2. BJ Upton
3. Freddie Freeman
4. Justin Upton
5. Gattis
6. Uggla
7. CJoh
8. Simmons
9. Wood

Also, this is my last day of class at UNC-Charlotte, so it's a pretty bittersweet feeling over here and I have a interview at a Marketing Firm tomorrow morning, so wish me luck guys!

And as always: GO BRAVES!!

You're in Charlotte... I got a speeding ticket there on 85 from Greensboro to Charlotte. 5 lane highway at 3am I'm the only car and he pulls me over for going 89 in 75 with no other cars on the road.

Blasphemy!

Expecting a huge game from Uggla.

Expecting a huge game from Uggla.

May not remember but in 2003 during scout days I used to say before every game in every gdt "Expecting a huge game from the Vinster". People were complaining and outraged.

Let me guess, we might just luck out and get a hit or two off Fernandez and even score a run or two, but Wood or the pen will get blasted.

Why so negative before every game?

That's what happens when nothing goes right in one's life. I used to be positive and always think the best, but whenever I did that, it would always turn to the worse and something epically bad would occur.

Well as long as you're doing the pessimist reverse jinx that's cool... just don't get too crazy with it.

ethnic cleansing

[jsebe10]

With Fernandez being undefeated at home and simply over powering the Braves in his every start, I don't see much runs being scored tonight for hopefully either side. Fernandez is the real deal folks.

[MadduxFanII]

This game seems like a perfect opportunity for the always-awesome 10-inning start. We haven't had one since Millwood in 1999.

@KevinMcAlpin: #Braves lineup: Heyward 9, Pena 5, Freeman 3, Gattis 2, Doumit 7, Simmons 6, Schafer 8, Pastornicky 4, Wood 1.

What lol

[TURBO]

Going with guys withh better contact, shorter swings against the K machine? Grasping at straws here.

[atl717]

Fredi is a joke. How can he have JUp on the bench just to get a lefty in there?

[gilesfan]

Is it Sunday?

[jpack1]

That can't be the real lineup can it? Why would you not have J Up in there?

[MadduxFanII]

Well...that's different.

[thethe]

Why bench Justin? I get the other changes and like them.

[UNCBlue012]

I'm literally pissed to see Justin not there. I can understand Schafer because he needs more at-bats and he's a lefty, but Doumit in left at marlins park. Why? And Justin has been en fuego. I am happy to see Chris getting a little more time off and Ramiro in there. Still, so stupid.
