Did Wood get tossed right there?

Fckn idiot! Team needs to fine his dumb ass for that. He just single handily put us in a tight spot.

Lighten up Francis, I was simply asking thethe a question.

So you don't want them to hit McCutchen?

If you followed the thread, I was asking teethe the intent of one of his previous statements.

Lol

 

[Braves1976]

Now he almost hits Jace in the knee.

 

[Julio3000]

That ejection was a wagonload of horse****.

Yep.

My apologies. I thought you implied that we should have hit McCutchen with a 96 MPH fastball based off your statement. I'm just against the unnecessary revenge game.

 

[Braves1976]

I didn't like how AJ set-up to the pitcher, I thought that might have led to the walk. He should have gave Wood a target down the middle instead. That cost Wood a strike too IMO.

I think we should.

Just a simple pitch in the back or thigh/hip would be no harm.

I mean they hit two of our best players, should hit one of theirs.

 

[USMA76]

Down three with our bullpen in the sixth inning--this one's not looking good.

 

[Heyward]

Walking the pitcher isnt good.

Kinda figured that wouldnt end well.

 

[jpx7]

More like BBullpen.

 

[Heyward]

He's a good ball player but I'm beginning to see he's a cocky and flashy mfer this series. He's done a couple small things that are making me dislike him.

Except when it does do harm. I don't believe the D Backs pitcher had the intention of breaking McCutchen's hand, but he wanted to send a message and it ended McCutchen's season. Totally unnecessary.

I still remember Carlos Zambrano hitting Chipper with a pitch in the last series of the season and it hurt Chipper and it was one of these silly revenge game ploys. Faux machoism.

Plus Wood looked good despite three runs that last inning. I still say AJ was at fault that last inning as much as anyone, how he set-up and caught that last pitch made it look like a ball. That was strike three if he sets up differently and catches it better.

Yeah, what a jerk.

He could have framed it better, but Wood missed the target by the width of the plate and the ball was 3 inches off the plate. Blame falls on Wood (and one the evil, mean "message" pitch to start the at bat).

I love McCutcheon. Maybe my favorite non Brave

 

[jpx7]

Yeah, what a jerk.

Just showboating.
