GDT: 8-4-13 Braves at Phillies (Brooms Ready)

[JusticeForAll23]

The Luis Ayala roller coaster inning. Gets the first batter out, throws like 6 straight balls, gets behind the third batter 2-0, and eventually gets him to ground into an inning ending double-play.

Just imagine the roller coaster going on in between the ears.

 

[ChadWC]

A run or two would be nice.

 

[The Tariff King]

Let's get it out of reach so Fredi doesn't tempt using KKKimbrel.

 

[bravesnumberone]

If he gets the job done, cool, but Ayala's throwing motion is tough to watch.

 

[weso1]

95.

Fredi seems to only let guys go over 100 if they start off the inning around 89-91.

I will say, that while I would like to have seen Wood go one more (Yeah I know).... I do think Fredi's over cautiousness with starters, especially young starters, is better than the other end of the spectrum.

 

[The Tariff King]

Forget the hits, it's a moral victory when BJ can make contact on 3 out of 4 at-bats.

 

[bravesnumberone]

What's patience?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Way to show patience guys.

 

[JusticeForAll23]

We've built this 4-1 lead and it looks like our hitters have just said **** it, and are hacking away at every thing.

 

[The Tariff King]

What's patience?

Wood coming and going 6 strong.

 

[Gary82]

Six more outs. Come on bullpen.

I'll definitely take 2-4. Be more impressed if he can actually start doing it consistently. Good sign though.

 

[sturg33]

With a 3 or more run lead, I really hope Fredi is smart enough not to pitch Kimbrel tonight.

All of our relievers are capable of holding a 3 run lead. Don't manage to a statistic.

If BJ finds his groove we should coast into the playoffs. Hopefully BJ will be himself for the rest of this year.

 

[cajunrevenge]

We should be happy with 6 from Wood, thats slightly above average.

I'll take this BJ every night from here on out.

Meh, a win now is one less they have to get later in the season.

Oh we are....

 

[sturg33]

Meh, a win now is one less they have to get later in the season.

Kimbrel has pitched 2 nights in a row. And a 3 run lead should be automatic for every single one of our relievers.

Baseball would be in a lot better shape if the "save" statistic was never created
