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

[AerchAngel]

I officially withdraw my "butt plug" insult. Top of the the evening to you.

No sweat man. I am a butt plug at times on here. I will own it. But yes I trash StrasTurd a lot.

 

[Hawk]

Jose Fernandez's English is awesome. I remember reading last year that he basically was learning it as he went. What an intelligent guy.

 

[Heyward]

Braves have scored 3 runs in Woods 3 loses. Bad bad baseball. Just unfair.

Why W/L is retarded.

 

[Heyward]

Yep, if we had an offense that could consistently manufacture runs, we'd be 16-4 or 17-3 right now, probably.

Meh, cant really say that, you arent going to win 120 games.

Baseball's law of averages even out over time.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Why W/L is retarded.

Agreed. Local radio station guy here always references wins and losses for pitchers as his main benchmark for how good they are.

Doesn't change the fact we might have that kind of record the way we're pitching right now if we were more consistent at the plate.

 

[The Tariff King]

Actually the difference between last year and this year is Justin carried us in April. If this was same Justin as last year we're probably 16-4, 17-3.

 

[Chipper Jones]

At least BJ is still playing better.

 

[Heyward]

Welcome to the board.

I invited him

 

[gilesfan]

anyone tip their cap?

Fernandez owned the hell out of us tonight. Just take your medicine like a man and move on to the next game.

 

[Hawk]

I'm putting my Jobu hex on Eovaldi.

 

[Gary82]

Santana, Teheran, and Wood have been tremendous. The rotation looks as strong as ever, especially when we get Minor back. The only question mark is depth, but we're haranging in there.

I like the kid. I really do. For some reason the ebullience and cockiness don't bother me. I was impressed with how he owned the criticism he took last year after the HR debacle . . . he didn't just apologize, he went out of his way to say how much he respected Brian McCann and wanted to earn respect in return.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

There must be a way we can blame Dan Uggla..................

 

[CyYoung31]

Did everyone see Chipper's Wood pun?

 

[Runnin]

Did everyone see Chipper's Wood pun?

No. On Twitter?

Better get a bucket of KFC and some Ron Rico.

Damn:

Jose Fernandez's 1-0 victory over Alex Wood was the first game in which teams combined for at least 28 strikeouts and no walks since 1900, the teams said, citing the Elias Sports Bureau.
