[stpeteirish]

sorry Rico, but you're mislabeled our opponent. They are the Fighting Chihuahua's.

 

[Runnin]

Wood better not groove anything for Frenchy.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Lol

 

[Garmel]

This is just a great start.

 

[Julio3000]

Remembering Shanks saying that Frenchy was "literally Dale Murphy." Just as soon as he learned to pick up the spin on a big-league slider . . .

 

[Julio3000]

Wait, Wood walked Jeff Francoeur?

 

[Ampere]

Chip on Upton hitting first: "Is he hitting .300? No. Is he getting on base and scoring runs? Yes."

Meanwhile, over in reality his OBP while hitting 1st is .306. That is not good.

 

[Garmel]

La Stella is now 2-17 since moving back to the 2nd slot. Makes no sense.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Outstanding start.

 

[tvsportscaster]

Wood looks really really terrible tonight making a horrific offense look like the 27 Yankees.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Six hits in two innings. Ha

yeah we're going to have to score some runs to win. So g'bye.

 

[Julio3000]

Oh hells. A hit. One more and that dude has a multi-hit game.

Just posted this in the trade deadline discussion thread, thought I'd post it here.

#Braves, #Orioles, #Mariners, #Cubs, #Nationals also have top evaluators present for Price-Lester.

Remember, though, the Braves have shown interest in Andrew Miller from the Red Sox, so they could be there for him.

Can't imagine we're in on Price. I mean, it would be cool and all, but . . .

We should probably go ahead and get the lead. This is about as easy of a win as we will get.

Somebody needs to tell that to Alex Wood, perhaps getting people out would help.
