Kendrick should get hit hard, but he does own the Braves.

 

[Julio3000]

I expect Laird to make a hefty contribution today.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Was pulling for Sergio, but he had too much of an uphill climb coming into today.

Kendrick should get hit hard, but he does own the Braves.

Reallyhasn't owned us this year, and the rest of the league is pounding him. He's 4-9, for crissakes, we should get him good.

First inning is the key(ERA is 11 something). I'm looking at you, Melvin.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Can we trade for Grady? Just so we don't have to face him.

 

[Tapate50]

Seems like Wood has lost a few mph, but it could be the conditions.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Alright so a double header when Philly comes back down to Atlanta?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Cool.

 

[TURBO]

Booom.

He has no power and is an automatic out.

Signed,

75 percent of the board.

You do realize up until a few weeks ago he only had 2 homers the entire season right?

 

[Julio3000]

Nice to see Wood rise to the occasion and get a shutdown inning.

I do. Guys ebb and flow. He looked bad early in the year. Then he got to where he was hitting again. Now he's really putting some good swings on the ball.

His "power" is diminished by the fact that he has to keep it gap-to-gap. Not a lot of 311 foot shots just inside the foul pole. I expect he'll have a lot of 380-foot doubles over his career.

He's a very good hitter.

Sturdy. He really has a chance to go deep into this game.

That makes a great case for looking at his career numbers before making conclusions.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Encouraged by CJ. Some great swings lately.

He really has an exquisite swing. Great path. A little long, which means he has to recognize/guess quicker, which leads to Ks. But it works for him.

 

[Tapate50]

Freddie has been lost this series.
