Clearly both played a huge part. It is only 1-0 when he makes his first blunder that IMMEDIATELY cost us a run.
If Reed pinch hits instead of BJ, he probably just grounds out or K's anyways.
Using Wood I don't mind. They've made the decision to use him as the lefty in the pen besides Avilan. He' has 3 days off, and he'll pitch tomorrow if needed and have Saturday off.
Playoffs, there are days off in between fortunately so it's not like Fredi is trotting these guys out there 5 out of 6 days.
Two games to Evan Gattis.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
I left the pub two hours ago, after a Dodgers fan condescendingly said, "Sorry, bro," and I realized my internal emotional state was unhealthy.
Gattis has two walks today and a hit.
Unreal.
Unreal.
If all he said to you was Sorry, Bro, I would've loved to have seen how you flirted with him to not be so maliciously talking trash to you like many a Dodger bandwagon fan would do.

You have no clue and the only thing you can know is that Reed is MUCH better again lefties.
Not worried about him pitching tomorrow. Worried about burning one of two lefties incredibly early in the game.
All I know is Reed Johnson has been not so good since his return from the DL. I also know Uggla and BJ have been just as terrible, and Elliot has barely been better than Uggla.
If anybody can complain it's probably be Bobby. There was a year we made the playoffs when 88 MPH max John Foster was his only lefty out of the bullpen. Or what about the year Tom Martin... lol

In his, "Sorry, bro," was more pretension and condescension than you can easily imagine.
If it's anything like his last few starts have gone, then probably not much.

But boy is it fun for those 2-3 week stretches in the regular season when you get lucky and only face one or two aces, and those free swingers light up the lesser pitchers and put a lot of runs up on the board.
I tried to not buy into it, but it's painfully obvious this team has the pieces to be a very good to great regular season, but is terribly built for the playoffs: three good #2 type pitchers but no ace and an undisciplined, free-swinging, feast or famine lineup. That's just a recipe for playoff disaster.
