GDT 9/27/2013: Braves v. Phillies

[ProbationDeac]

I'll feel bad for Cliff Lee another day. Happy for Meds!

 

[MadduxFanII]

Great job by Meds and Kimbrel to keep it shutout and thank god we scored a run. Have to feel bad for Lee he pitched way better than Medlen but made one mistake and his team didn't pull it off.

Good lord, man. You are trying really hard not to be impressed by Medlen.

 

[zitothebrave]

Well Clifford, there's always a spot for you in our rotation next year if you want.

It helps when you get 2 inches off the ground and 2 inches inside and outside the black on your pitches.

Can't complain though, Glavine and Maddox lived in those spots as well.

The is where I hate the win loss stat, both pitched awesome, vintage pitchers duel.

Nice win though.

Good lord, man. You are trying really hard not to be impressed by Medlen.

8 innings 13 Ks 0 BB and you get the loss, that's some hard luck there.

 

[Braves1976]

Medlen impressed me more tonight than any game all season. He was at his best and that was a great game by him.

Well done Kris!

 

[NYCBrave]

So the Phillies still haven't announced a starter for tomorrow to take Halladay's spot. What options do they have?

Both pitched great, was Lee better than Medlen, maybe not, maybe so.

I'll take the win though.

Can they throw Cloyd again? He barely pitched yesterday

 

[Braves1976]

8 innings 13 Ks 0 BB and you get the loss, that's some hard luck there.

Lee was at his best too no doubt. He just made one pitch too good for CJ to golf out. But other than that he dominated us all night.

Pretty sure I saw a tweet by DOB saying it was a bullpen game tomorrow for them

Good question, could go with Ethan Martin but he's in the bullpen.

It was gonna be Halladay but he is shut down.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 2m

Cliff Lee is the 1st pitcher with 13 strikeouts and 0 walks in a complete-game road loss since Randy Johnson in 1999.

Poor Cliff.

 

[The Tariff King]

Unfortunately unless he gets some type of shoulder surgery, Halladay may be shut down for his career.

 

[MadduxFanII]

Saw that too. Bullpen game, Ethan Martin gets the "start" and goes two or three innings.

ESPN's probables indicate it will be Ethan Martin.

Medlens era the last 6 starts? 0.83

 

[The Tariff King]

Poor Cliff.

Also makes you appreciate just how many dominant pitchers there were back then in an era of roiders.

I mean Maddux, Unit, Pedro, Schilling, Glavine, Smoltz, were putting up solid W-L records, ERA's, and striking out guys. Most importantly many of them were going the distance in a lot of games.
