Wood is dealing

 

[thethe]

Who has the higher ceiling if all goes right? Teheran or Wood?

Tough question for me.

 

[Julio3000]

I think he gets so much hate bc he literally hits all of his HRs with no1 on base and isn't very clutch in the later innings with RISP.

Except the half of them where there are guys on base.

Of all the problems this team has, Justin Upton's hitting is not one of them.

 

[Julio3000]

What a fantastic bunt.

It really was. He was flying down the line, too.

 

[Fredi Gonzalez]

Just woke up, what I miss.

 

[Julio3000]

We may disagree about JUp. We may disagree about Jason. Chris Johnson's contributions can be picked apart and argued about. Surely, though, we can all agree that Ramiro Pena is a turrible hitter.

Wood gets a gapper and ESPN still manages to slob Harpers cock

Bryce "1 more HR than Ramiro Pena in 100 more ABs" Harper.

 

[Fredi Gonzalez]

They just do not have it in them to manufacture several runs in an inning

Who "manufactures" multiple runs in an inning? Manufacturing a run is something like a single, steal second, bunt him over to third then sac fly to get him home. It's called small ball for a reason.

Definitely.

Thing with Johnson is people are way more harder on him when he is unsuccessful than Upton.

CJ has a bad feel for the strike zone and has a bad attitude. People have complained about his defense...why? He can be frustrating but he can also be very productive.

 

[CyYoung31]

Because he's terrible. Justin Upton isn't. There you go.

 

[Julio3000]

Laird is like a cat back there.

A huge cat.

CJ and JUp both strike out a lot, and their BAs are currently within a few points of one another. Oh, they're both right-handed. There the similarities end.

 

[nsacpi]

Huge Harang-like game from Wood.

 

[Julio3000]

Alex Wood, yo.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Great night from Wood on a night when the Braves really needed it

 

[Julio3000]

Huge Harang-like game from Wood.

He managed to Harang around until the 7th.

 

[CyYoung31]

What a performance by Wood.

 

[BremanFan88]

Heyward was faking emotion again after that catch. Why's he just going through the motions, bros?

 

[Tapate50]

Justin is universally hated. I mean they showed his brother on the graphic for 500/1000.
