GDT: Braves @ Dodgers (NLDS Game 4, October 7, 2013)

[Braves1976]

Whew, some great defense got us through that inning.

"I think he does it with guts and intelligence now" Thanks for that Ron Darling

DIRTY Freddy Garcia is outpitching everyone but Minor

 

[CyYoung31]

JUST MAKE CALL.

 

[thethe]

Have to admit. Garcia has been good..

 

[nsacpi]

Miller's big strike zone helping Freddy.

 

[NYCBrave]

BIG GAME FREDDY!

I think we gotta stick with him, like you said he's not pitching scared and I don't want to trust some of our other options. How long though?

 

[zitothebrave]

Come on boys need some runs.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Garcia hasn't been that bad. Just two mistakes. Unfortunately, those two mistakes Crawford put in the right field seats. Got a shot at this one, boys and girls

 

[Lville21]

Solid 4 innings out of Garcia. Good job, Freddy. Now PH Reed Johnson for him and go to Ayala or Medlen. I'd be tempted to go to Medlen since Minor could go Wednesday and did very well last week vs. LA.

 

[DirkPiggler]

I probably have more faith in Garcia than most here. He isn't throwing scared like Medlen or Teheran.

I say just IBB Crawford.

The slow **** is working much better than anything else we've tried. Keep him in, but on a short leash going forward.

It's not like the pinch hitter has much more of a chance of getting on base. The last time Freddy batted he hit the ball harder than B.J. has since spring training.

Let's save the pinch hitters for the next time Elliot Johnson is up with a runner on base.

 

[Metaphysicist]

I've seen it done. I would be disinclined if I were trying to decide when to pull my lame-duck starter.

They are pre-recorded during the inning break, I'm pretty sure.

Miller's big strike zone helping Freddy.

It's true, some of those were close and they went in his favor.

Lol great question. If he can just get that thug Crawford under control then I think he will be fine. Hanley will get himself out.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

More than likely he gets pinch hit for, but Freddy has been solid tonight. Save for two long balls...he is pitching timid and has been pounding the strike zone.

Didn't see the first one, but the second pitch was a decent pitch.

I'd pull him, all things considered, not awful.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

I'd roll with Garcia unless we took the lead. Ole Mo switching sides....

 

[The Tariff King]

They are pre-recorded during the inning break, I'm pretty sure.

They are pre-recorded during the commercial break. Correct.

 

[drewdat]

They are pre-recorded during the inning break, I'm pretty sure.

I stand corrected then. Seems like they're live during the regular season?

 

[holden]

Sigh.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Ugh Garcia is going to face Crawford again.
