GDT 9/4/13: Mets (Gee) @ Braves (Loe) 12:10 PM

[bravesnumberone]

11 HR given up in 20 innings. The lulz. Fredi, if you wanted starters to get a rest, why not just let position players pitch?

 

[Braves1976]

I am not sure what BJ was doing on that last "hit"?

That said, Loe is at 70 pitches but I'd leave him out there now for at least six innings.

 

[nsacpi]

The Mets know we are not so subtly insulting them today. They won't forget.

I'd like to see Simmons pitch, I am sure he can do better than Loe.

 

[Julio3000]

Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy, even the Mets.

Funny, I don't remember Chipper's Braves Hall of Fame induction speech being quite so rousing.

Well Fredi figured since they like to hurt our players, why not Loe?

 

[gcbraves]

From now on woeful will be known as loeful...

 

[Julio3000]

You can't spell "lose" without . . .

 

[nsacpi]

Another scoreless inning for Loe.

 

[stpeteirish]

Another scoreless inning for Loe.

more than half of his innings have been.

 

[Braves1976]

Another scoreless inning for Loe.

Yep, every other inning so far. Though things did get messy in the second.

 

[Julio3000]

Has he managed to throw 90 pitches in 4 innings and not strike anyone out? Classic.

Quite successfully.

Kam must have read the Gameday scouting report:

Scout: Dangerous count for Kameron Loe; Dillon Gee is a dead-red fastball hitter, with a .445 OPS against them this season and .322 against everything else.

 

[Braves1976]

Why are we taking him out now? It's a little late to be wasting our relievers now.

He was only halfway to his pitchcount.

 

[gilesfan]

Fredi going all out for todays win with Loe and Garcia.

 

[nsacpi]

Why is Fredi taking Loe out?

 

[Julio3000]

Fredi going all out for todays win with Loe and Garcia.

He's just ego trippin now, with Freddy, Freddie, and Gerald Laird in the game.
