GDT #95: July 13, 2014 Braves (Teheran) @ Cubs (Not Our Wood) 2:20 EST

[yeezus]

There's no reason for Julio to come back out. Gotta protect that arm.

There is one reason: Fredi. I don't think that he thinks.

 

[USMA76]

TLS was exactly the type of htiter we needed to infuse into the lineup. Can't wait to see what this kid does when he gets his feet fully wet!

TLS is a couple of "tools" away from being a five tool player. The one he does have--hitting for average--he has in spades.

 

[yeezus]

Good call putting Julio back out Fredi! The guy is a moron.

 

[thewupk]

Julio's ERA taking a hit when he shouldn't be in there.

 

[Heyward]

Makes no sense to have Julio in.

Should have been pulled after 5, tbh.

 

[atl717]

Way to go redneck dummy.

 

[atl717]

Hope Kimbrel isn't used,

 

[stpeteirish]

10 runs and absolutely nothing from FF. That never happens, possibly a good sign.

 

[Heyward]

Hope Kimbrel isn't used,

Probably Kimbrel and Walden knowing Fredi.

 

[mossy]

The Braves are winning a laugher, and you guys are still bitching like little girls about Fredi? Good grief. Go clean your rooms.

Tommy makes that play at 2nd, the HR doesn't happen.

Quality outing for Julio.

There's no logical reason he was back out there. Winning doesn't mean there aren't mistakes. It's fair to say this was a mistake.

I don't see what the problem is. But we'll agree to disagree.

it was a 10-2 game, 7-0 after 5 IIRC.

No reason he should be pitching this much.

 

[thewupk]

what's up with all these walks from simba?

and most of them will bitch about who he puts in in relief. Either he's bad and should never pitch or too good to waste in a game like this. Teheran wasn't even at 100 pitches; one more inning is not a big deal. And you're worried about him pitching too much, but you want him to go again in the first game after the break?

Julio is going to go way over his max innings this year which is never a good thing for such a young kid. Today would of been a perfect chance to limit those a bit.

What was his final pitch count?

He was at 89 entering the frame.
There was just no reason to put him back out there to work another inning in an 8-run game. You have so many options, just let the young man rest after an effective start. And I'm not one for advocating strict pitching limits, but I found it silly.

 

[USMA76]

Watching Avilan pitch is making me wish David Carpenter were in the game.

 

[Garmel]

I think Avilan is going to make this interesting.
