GDT #44: 5/20/14 Brewers (Gallardo 2-2) @ Braves (Teheran 2-3), 7:10

[Mrs. Meta]

Great job by Laird! Huge!

We're not talking about his BMs again, are we?

 

[Braves1976]

I love it...I'd let him throw 160 if he wanted to. Sick of this titty feeding pitchers.

Yea, until he ends up having Tommy John then everyone looks back and questions. I've seen that movie before.

 

[Krovahn]

Hell of a game from Julio. Bravo.

 

[parkvadawg]

I really wish we had traded Justin, how have we won?

It's hard to imagine

 

[Heyward]

Everyone is having TJ these days.

Not defending the move, it's dumb but using that isnt very good given tons of pitchers have had TJ this year.

 

[jpx7]

Yep: need to save more titties for batters.

I'd wager that's at least half the reason Chipper retired.

 

[The Tariff King]

That is the wrong way to look at it, I want a less tired Teheran come playoff time and not what we had last year.

Teheran has already been more consistent and efficient than last year.

I think fredi is going for early clinch asap then resting pitchers.

They get Tommy Johns bc they titty feed pitchers. Can't utilize your staff being scared that they will get Tommy John...was it a lot of pitches? Yes, of course it was...but how often does JT throw 130? It's just one game.

 

[The Tariff King]

Need to trade Justin while his value is still high.

We may not even make the playoffs, so it is what it is.

 

[Dalyn]

Yep: need to save more titties for batters.

I'd wager that's at least half the reason Chipper retired.

And why he always wanted to pitch.

 

[jsebe10]

Need to trade Justin while his value is still high.

Impossible. We'd never get anything good in return for him. He sucks.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I really wish we had traded Justin, how have we won?

Remember how we got him for almost nothing?

Mechanics more then over usage is the reason for Tommy John. Look all the recent Tommy John guys and you will see really ****ty mechanics

It isn't just one game, Teheran threw a lot of pitches to get a complete game in Philly. He's been pitching deep a lot so far this year too. I don't agree with your first point either, I agree with Smoltz on why it is happening so much.

Titties and beer. Who wouldn't?

 

[Heyward]

the following have had TJ in the past year or so.

Jose Fernandez, Medlen, Beachy, Patrick Corbin, Matt Moore, Matt Harvey, Nova, Jarrod Parker, Josh Johnson, etc.

List goes on.

Did he blame it on the gays?

It can always be argued as a combination, no disagreement there. But I agree with Smoltz on the main reasons (including how they push them as kids these days).

JT got his ass lit up in San Fran....you have any idea what a game like this does for his confidence? Again, a lot of pitches yes, but he doesn't throw 130 every outting. I've literally seen you gripe about Fredi taking him out around 90-95 pitches before. Let the kid pitch.
