Going to be tough to win this series going up against Fernandez and Eovaldi the next two.

[Enscheff]

A little surprising to see Justin in there after leaving the game last night with a bruised knee.

[Bdawg2309]

Freddy Garcia starts tomorrow in place of Wood

Hale starts in place of maholm on friday(getting an MRI on his elbow)

[bravesnumberone]

What the ****ing ****?

[tvsportscaster]

They're just giving Wood extra rest like they did with Teheran. I think that's a good thing, that might be wants been wrong with him the last couple of starts. The Maholm thing, though sounds more serious. It might make the post season decision easy.

It may also signal that Wren and Gonzalez are seriously considering employing Wood as a starter in the playoffs — something that would be even less surprising if Maholm is injured/out.

[Orphan Black]

Maholm has mostly looked bad since coming off the DL...he seemed to be pitching up in the strike zone a lot.

[Bdawg2309]

well apparently Eovaldi won't be starting tomorrow either cause of a sore back.. catch a break there

[Dalyn]

[thethe]

YAY! No Uggla.

[nsacpi]

It's Elliot Johnson Time!

[Heyward]

Well, at least Uggla is benched hopefully.

No problems with skipping Wood, could use the rest.

[thethe]

Good baserunning from Schafer.

[Garmel]

We squandered a great opportunity there.

Its Jose Fernandez. Its going to happen a lot for the next 2 years before they trade him.

[Dalyn]

That error should go on Freeman.

[Garmel]

I have a feeling it won't be that long. Some contender before the July 31 deadline will give the Marlins an offer they can't refuse.

The marlins or jeffrey loria?

[Garmel]

The marlins or jeffrey loria?

I believe the Miami fans will have Loria assassinated soon after he trades Fernandez off.
