Loved mallex. Should have dumped nick.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Should not have ever signed Nick, actually.

I do feel sorry for Nick kinda. He's been nothing but a damn good Brave. He always puts 150% effort out there and is just a great guy. He hasn't been a world beater but I think he's at least been slightly better than we hoped. Don't love the contract but I can't help but root for the guy. I also think the contract was pretty reasonable looking at some of the other insane contracts out there.

 

[thewupk]

Early returns are paying dividends for Heyward so far

 

[msstate7]

Couple nice games tomorrow on our day off...

Red Sox (sale) vs tigers (verlander)

Dodgers (wood) vs cubs (Lester)

 

[thethe]

Jason groome injurred.

Wood hitting 95 on the gun in the 1st

 

[sturg33]

Wood looking good

 

[thethe]

Very good...hope he finds a way to stay healthy. If he does he will have a good season.

 

[Tapate50]

Wood looking good

Really? Saw where he walked 5 in three IP?

Wood looking good

If that's good we should bring up Newcombe now

His narrative was busted about 2.1 innings in.

To be fair though he had solid velocity and bite on the slider. However, Wood seems to be at this point a 2 inning reliever.

I wouldn't peg him as a 2 inning reliever after one start when he started the year in the pen. The walks were an issue last night but that 1.59 ERA sure is nice.

Yeah - he faded in the 4th and 5th inning. He got burned in the third due to Puig dropping a foul ball which would have ended the inning before walking Scwarber and giving up a double to Bryant.

His stuff was great though

I thought you were a stat guy? using ERA?

5 walks means you are very lucky to not give up runs unless you are super nasty.

He should still be a Brave. And he's not been anywhere near what he was as a brave for LA.

While we are loving small samples where are all of the peraza lovers with his 550 OPS?

 

[sturg33]

Sorry guys. Forgot he was a former Brave.

Wood was AWFUL. Thank goodness Coppy got rid of him when he did for HO!

I just try to use stats that thethe is familiar with. Yeah Wood did not have a good game at all. Lucky to give up just the 1 run he did.
