GDT #20, 4/22/'14: Marlins (Fernandez) @ Braves (Wood), 7:10 EST

[tvsportscaster]

This is man against boys tonight. Mr. Fernandez is sensational and what has Alex Wood done to piss off the baseball gods. He lost 1-0 last time out.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I think BJ should bunt to start the bottom of the inning.

 

[bravesnumberone]

If he doesn't get into much trouble, he'll easy get a complete game. Wow, I haven't seen our lineup get THIS dominated in what seems like a while.

Randy Johnson's perfect game comes to mind, but other than that, not many better ones.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Holy crap Alex Wood is good, though.

Holy crap Alex Wood is good, though.

Need to save him for the post-season.

 

[NYCBrave]

No way we can take Wood out of the rotation when Floyd is ready. Someone is going to be unhappy

 

[bravesnumberone]

Wood has been remarkable.

 

[bravesnumberone]

BUNT

 

[bravesnumberone]

Oh my God. He really called that a strike.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

I just wish the boys in the booth would quit wetting themselves over Hernandez.

 

[Heyward]

Not a surprising outcome so far.

Fernandez is too good.

When he's on like this, just gotta pray his PC will get him out of the game.

 

[Heyward]

I just wish the boys in the booth would quit wetting themselves over Hernandez.

He's been incredible tonight, what are they supposed to say, he sucks?

 

[USMA76]

It's probably the camera angle but it appears that Fernandez is getting a lot of strike calls that appear to be in the right handed batter's box. It's not like he needs any more help.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Freddie has been absolutely awful the last few games. Bad swings, taking bad balls. Man.

 

[Heyward]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Freddie has been absolutely awful the last few games. Bad swings, taking bad balls. Man.

He was due to slump after the torrid start.

 

[PurpleBrave]

And here is the problem with having so many windmills in the lineup. Against some stiff, no big deal, but when we have to grind out some runs against a good pitcher, we can't do it. Good thing no playoff teams have good pitchers.

 

[Braves1976]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Freddie has been absolutely awful the last few games. Bad swings, taking bad balls. Man.

He has been as bad as you'll see him after being as great as ever for a while. I think he just needs a day off.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

He's been incredible tonight, what are they supposed to say, he sucks?

No, but there is no need in acting like a schoolgirl wanting to date him either. He's human. One pitch from a tie game.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Lol, there's no way in hell we're scoring off him tonight. We have been watching fast balls go by and swinging at every offspeed pitch.

 

[Braves1976]

Alex Wood deserves a win, what a game. That run came on a grounder to second in a spot usually an out too. If not for Uggla at second it may have been one too (or at least knocked down to save the run).
