GDT #25, 2/29/'14: Braves (Wood) vs. Marlins (Fernandez)

[bravesnumberone]

This would be a good time for Wood to pitch his first perfect game.

Only to be taken out in the 12th due to pitch count.

 

[yeezus]

Hah, I might actually bet on first 5 given the decrepit state of tonight's lineup.

Three of the big K guys are out though.

So he may only get 12 over 7.

 

[CPaul77]

Welp Fernandez is straight up en fuego at home and owns J Up, so why not give him a rest? Day off in late April never hurts.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Any lineup without Uggla is a good one in my book....

 

[sturg33]

Nice of Fredi to allow our bench bats to go up against arguably the best pitcher in baseball...

That'll get em going

 

[Hawk]

Maybe Fredi still has a blood pact with Loria.

Minus JUp sitting, its not too bad.

 

[stpeteirish]

That's what happens when nothing goes right in one's life. I used to be positive and always think the best, but whenever I did that, it would always turn to the worse and something epically bad would occur.

you need to get a shrink. seriously,.

 

[stpeteirish]

the starters have proven thay can't hit Fernandez, why not go with the bench guys? Fredi may have gotten a little carried away. The only bench guy who isn't playing is Laird.

 

[BravesfanMike]

LOLOL!! Now THATS funny !!

Expecting a huge game from Uggla.

 

[stpeteirish]

do we win in extras?

Pena for Struggla makes sense. Doumit for Justin doesn't. I would have subbed out Justin for Schafer and left Bossman in CF and Pastor for Uggs put Pena at 3B, just go with an all defense lineup.

Agreed. With that large stadium, I think it's by far the best time for great defense. I am pleased to see Schafer and Jason out there... then Doumit happened.

The only bench guy who isn't playing is Laird.

And for good reason: he's already winded from all the managing he had to do ahead of tonight's game.

 

[Fredi Gonzalez]

Oh ye of little faith. 100% guarantee we win tonight or I will re-sign as manager of the team.

After listening to Fredi talk with Jim Powell, if he's looking to get guys on and do some running, wouldn't it make more sense for BJ to be in there?

I just can't win with you people. I play BJ you hate. I don't play BJ you hate. Yeah I said we would run but that was a misdirection. What kind of moron would announce his strategy before the game.

 

[Hawk]

I will re-sign as manager of the team.

Well you know what they say. If it's not broke then you need to try and fix it.
