*OPENING DAY* 4/6/'15: Atlanta Braves (Teheran) @ Miami Marlins

Chip talking right now?

I like JT going 7. Slow him down later in the year, if necessary.

I look at managing Julio in the same prism as every other move this season. Wins and losses mean absolutely nothing and in reality more losses are better. Its all about the future and Julio is probably the single most important part of that future.

Yea, it's a couple years too early to start thinking about saving his arm for the postseason.

Julio losing it a bit here

 

[jpx7]

That Guy burns Teheran again.

Its the first start of the season. No reason to have Julio pushing 100 pitches. Just stupid in a worthless season.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Uh oh

 

[Braves1976]

Nice managing Fredi, lol.

Joe, dude: the answer to dealing with bunting situations in a loaded lineup is not to create a worse lineup: the answer is to ensure all your sluggers can bunt. It's like he thinks having a quality lineup is a handicap ...

 

[Dalyn]

Only person more worried than me about Fredi managing is Fredi.

Yea, you don't push him that hard game one given the pitch count and earlier rain delay Now with our bullpen it will likely get ugly.

Every ball hit to right, I wonder if Jason woulda caught it.

 

[TDlxANDER]

AHHHHHHH....THE BULLPEN!!!!

He would have caught the baseball, but he most certainly would not have loved it—and you can quantify that factor.

I understand, but 100 pitches isn't going to blow the guy's arm up. Wainwright went 101 last night, and I'll bet he'd have started the next inning if he didn't have a 3-run lead.

I'm not advocating ignoring his IP or pitch count, I just think Julio was fine, at 89 pitches, to start the inning.

 

[Braves1976]

That helps, nice DP boys.

 

[TDlxANDER]

Gritty double play there

 

[mossy]

DP!!!!!!

WOW!
