GDT #8 4/9/'14 Braves(Santana) vs Mets(Wheeler) No BJ Simmons batting 2nd.

[NinersSBChamps]

Offensive explosion!!!

 

[TURBO]

Why is Avilan warming up. Figured he would get a day off. I know it was just a cramp, but still.

 

[Dalyn]

If he can get out under 90 pitches, I would love to see Fredi let him go for the shutout. He hasn't had to throw more than a handful of stressful pitches.

 

[bravesnumberone]

88 pitches. You gotta let him go for the shutout.

 

[TURBO]

Let him start the ninth

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Burnett?

 

[pfiggy]

Carol??

 

[bravesnumberone]

Damn that ball literally rose.

 

[TURBO]

That ball was scolded.

 

[TURBO]

Darn. Wanted to see Ervin get the CG

 

[Krovahn]

I am upset.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Would have liked to see Ervin go the distance. I can understand it though. This is his first start of the season.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Fredi is such a boner. Leave Julio in past 100 pitches when he's been off his game (though he did finish strong the other night). Santana just dominating and doesn't get a crack at it?

EDIT: I guess with it being his first start though...

 

[jsebe10]

Why not let him finish you fat bastard.

 

[Dalyn]

That ball was scolded.

"Bad ball! Bad!"

 

[stpeteirish]

88 pitches. You gotta let him go for the shutout.

agree, I don't get it. Santana was great and not tired.

 

[Braves1976]

Great game by Santana tonight.

 

[Krovahn]

Why not let him finish you fat bastard.

This is unnecessary.

 

[Runnin]

Santana has thrown plenty of complete games in his career. One more is trivial.

 

[jpack1]

Why in the world does a manager take a guy out that is in complete control. He was just cruising.
