Maybe they think that Wood just isn't ready to handle playoff pressure. Freddy has his share of issues, but at least they know he'll not be awed by the moment.
 
Kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand you want him to not pitch as well so we can go with someone like Wood. However on the other hand if he doesn't do well we may not lock up hfa. Also, if Garcia fails we're probably looking at Maholm due to our pen needs and the 4th starter would pitch on the road, where Maholm has struggled this season. So, you almost have to root for Garcia by default.

Garcia is going to be our fourth starter. Oh boy...

looks like we're helpless at the plate again tonight. If we can't hit the Brewers, how can you expect us to suddenly heat up in the playoff vs much better pitching.
 
I tell you what we don't need help on and what won't be a post season worry, is grounding into double plays. We've got that sht down to a tee
 
surprised it didn't get out. nice job by Freddie getting around the bags there, no idea what Gattis is thinking.
 
One pitch after the Braves tie it, the Brewers regain the lead.

Amazing that Bianchi got that ball out but Evan's hit the wall (I realize Bianchi's was pulled to the shorter side of the fence more towards the pole).
