GDT 7/23/13: Braves (Medlen) @ Mets (Torres) 7:10 PM

Why the hell do you not intentionally walk Buck to set up the DP? Is that too complicated for Fredi to think about?

 

[jsebe10]

To the own you go Cwis....

 

[stpeteirish]

If this is how Medlen pitches when he's mediocre, I can't wait to see how he pitches when he's above average.

still watching?

 

[drewdat]

Looks like a solid time to cut and run.

 

[stpeteirish]

Without looking at the stats, it seems like a problem with the whole staff.

you're right, we have the worst OBA with 0-2 counts, they said that on the broadcast last night

 

[AerchAngel]

game ova, the hitting funk will continue.......................

 

[bravebonebook]

I might just give my left arm to get back the 2012 Medlen rather than this pitiful clone they keep trotting out in 2013. Better get the bullpen seats ready...

 

[jsebe10]

In his defense, its got to be frustrating pitching with this offense getting your back. They haven't done sh*t for Kris all season...

ummmmmmm

look at our manager, maybe?

 

[The Tariff King]

That's pretty harsh on the kid.

He had what, like 60 pitches through 5 innings?

He had a bad inning. We aren't going to win any games anyways if we can't score more than 1-2 runs a game.

Because John Buck is an easy out? Mgr mistake IMO not pulling Medlen sooner.

 

[Braves1976]

That should do it.

Definitely pitch to Buck also

 

[Grayson Dawg]

Lets not forget that Medlen always seems to pitch with zero run support. Actually most Braves starters pitch without much support. This offense is so lame and Fredi does nothing to attempt to improve. Sticks with his regulars come hell or high water.

 

[Dalyn]

I demand runs.

Fredi did learn the art of stubbornness and loyalty from Bobby.

And it worked out for Bobby on several occasion.

I seem to remember Fredi moving Chipper around the batting order plenty last year.

I feel for Medlen, tonight was one of those nights, he didn't make many mistakes but he was beaten by BABIP. Shame for him as well. But this is the reverse games (FIP much lower than ERA) that can happen when you outperform your FIP by the margin Medlen was.
