GDT: Atlanta Braves @ NY Mets, July 25th 2013 - Wood Rises Up To the Occasion

Someone needs to sit Gattis down and explain to him how good he could be if he was a little more selective.

Agree...he's got to stop swinging so fast. Just pick spot and if it's not there take. He's being hyper aggressive. They also need to tell him to take his time in the OF.
 
CJ just showed why I don't support hitting him high in the order. He has hit into a lot of DP's during his career (though not as many with us thus far). That's not what you want from a two hole hitter. I would hit him higher than his usual 8th though, 7th probably most nights.

Prado consistently led the team in double-plays.
 
Unless Wren makes a trade for a SP I believe Wood will get at least 2 more starts before Maholm returns. We may not think he is ready, but getting the feeling that Braves brass believes he is ready. I feel certain that he will be in the rotation next Spring.

Two bad starts against the Mets convinces me he isn't ready for the majors as a starter. Not saying he can't be, but he isn't now.
 
Why is that bum Loe still out there with the game tied? Fredi... I didn't even like calling him up, he's been bad all season and didn't impress me in AAA. I know his numbers were not terrible but he wasn't good either.
