GDT: 07/20/2013: Braves at White Sox

[yeezus]

So Wood can't average 6 innings per start?

I would say that's far from a guarantee with a young rookie pitcher.

 

[Dalyn]

So Wood can't average 6 innings per start?

Doubt it--especially right now. Do you have any idea how hard that is to do?

 

[sentenza]

Take im out!
He isn't able to record an out anymore!

 

[datdude12]

Get him out now

 

[Heyward]

Maholm averages over six innings per start. If Wood replaces him, imagine the extra work for the bullpen. You guys are crazy.

Wood or Beachy can't average 6 IP a start?

Mahlom has been awful lately, putting too much pressure on the offense,

 

[TURBO]

why is he still pitching

 

[Braves1976]

And to be fair, that was a good pitch by Peavy so even if he moved him over no lock Gattis scores.

If you want to be fair, try considering the point. Which was that Uggla is bad with RISP, that was the point. I even noted that he contributes with homeruns.

There are a ton of pitchers that average 6 innings per start so it can't be that hard.

 

[Heyward]

why is he still pitching

Probably just to eat innings.

 

[datdude12]

6 runs to this lineup is almost grounds for a DFA by itself...embarrassing

 

[skidlee]

That's fine, what do YOU want? Who's out there that's clearly better than Minor? And why are you SO sure that he can't pitch well in the postseason despite him being great since the 2nd half of last year?

Why do they have to be better then Minor? I want anyone better then Hudson and Paul. They are our weakest link in the rotation. I know Hudson is going no where so you obviously have to improve on Maholm. Does Beachy or Wood pitch better then Paul? I would say yes.

So who is your to 3/4 rotation for the playoffs?

Minor
Teheran

After that is a big ? mark IMO. Which Hudson, Medlen, or Beachy/Wood shows up?

You get someone to put with of Minor/Teheran and we have a very good rotation IMO.

I would take Peavy, Garza, Evin Santana,

The whole team sans FF isn't very good with RISP.

 

[tvsportscaster]

The what to do with Maholm question may have just been answered, looks like he might be hurt. He was holding his wrist area.

 

[AUTiger7222]

For all the talk of Maholm averaging 6 innings per start, today is the 8th start out of 20 that he's gone less than that. It's the 4th start he's gone less than 5 including the last 2.

Julio may get shutdown because of innings.

And Huddy has been pretty good as of late.

And we don't have the prospects fr any of them.

 

[Braves1976]

Maholm needs to go to the bullpen unless traded. I like him but he's not getting it done and we have better options (Beachy or Wood).

 

[jpx7]

Maholm was cabbage this afternoon.

 

[Heyward]

6 runs to this lineup is almost grounds for a DFA by itself...embarrassing

Indeed.

Figured 2-3 but 6 through only 3 IP is sad.

 

[Dalyn]

For all the talk of Maholm averaging 6 innings per start today is the 8th start out of 20 that he's gone less than that. It's the 4th start he's gone less than 5 including the last 2.

You know what average means, right? Before today, he was averaging over 6. This injury might bring him a bit below that mark.

DL him, put Beachy or Wood in.
