GDT 8/16/2013: Nationals @ Braves

[Krovahn]

Good to see what I hoped pregame is coming true. Wood is going nice and deep tonight. He definitely has had the stamina to do it tonight.

I decided to cheat and look up the answer. It's not Phillips or Molina. It's Chase Headley.

Oh well, he's no good according to some

 

[AUTiger7222]

Oh well, he's no good according to some

Because Headley hasn't been good this year, at least with the bat. He has an OPS of just .694. That's Dan Uggla territory.

Everyone is entitled to a career year.

 

[thethe]

Wood is good!

 

[Heyward]

Not sure I would pull him.

Hell of an outing though.

 

[AUTiger7222]

Great start tonight by Alex Wood!

 

[jsebe10]

I was hoping Clitt Lee would contain the Dodgers tonight...

 

[Heyward]

Oh well, he's no good according to some

Never said that, he's not the superstar you, BRule, and Zito make him out to be.

 

[jpack1]

Really taking him out? Wow. Not the dreaded 100 pitch mark of death. Wow.

***Cliff..... stupid auto correct.

 

[Krovahn]

Really Fredi? You pull Wood out now? Guess I can't really blame you, righties are coming up and his pitch count was getting up there... wanna save him for the playoffs and all that. Hmm... still interesting though with how strong Wood has been tonight.

 

[stpeteirish]

would have thought it'd be Walden here, so maybe his hand is not OK yet.

 

[emk418]

Wood's a stud

Well Ramos and Rondon have 3 of the 5 hits against Wood tonight. Understandable move.

 

[Krovahn]

Man, Carpenter...

I admit, sometimes Yes he can be an idiot, but its a good move. Ramos and Rendon have put good wood on wood all night. It was the right move

 

[jpack1]

Welp. Good call Fredi I guess.

 

[AUTiger7222]

Great job Carpenter!
