Spring Training Gamethread/Discussion

LaStella walks against a lefty. Why wouldn't we want this guy to be our starting second baseman again?

Maybe we can trade La Stella and Garcia for a good sixth starter.

Btw I don't mean to be pedantic but it is La Stella not LaStella or Stella.
 
So you think the average 5th starter was worse than Maholm last year?

I would say so. Most teams don't even have 5th starters. It's just a revolving door with guys getting a few starts here and there. 187 guys 'started' last year and pitched at least 50 innings. Garcia is not a good pitcher. However I wouldn't be upset if he pitched for two months to limit Woods innings. I think keeping him in the rotation any longer then that would be a mistake.

2 months!?!? That would be a dozen starts or so. I don't think that would be a good idea at all.

I know it isn't Stella. But I wanted to call him Stella. Stella!
 
We finally score. On a wild pitch. Could be the turning point in our season. Maybe the guys wills top pressing so hard now.
 
Lipka is fast. If they ever allow players to steal first base, he'll be pretty valuable.
 
Matt Kennelly! Note the three pairs of double letters in his name. That's a very auspicious name. We need to call him up along with Atahualpa Severino.
 
LaStella with 2 walks today. Geez.

I want the same Freddy Garcia sucks crowd to be outspoken against not starting Dan UGgla as well.

Yes I know, I am being inconsistent with this.

WHERE have you been? After three years, it gets old. We've all advocated getting rid of Uggla. What more is there to say? Uggla is signed to a huge contract. What excuse do the Braves have to play Garcia?

With off days Garcia could make 6 starts with Wood going into the rotation on May 30th. That's with giving everybody else 5 days of rest. Now to be honest I doubt this happens as Minor is going to be behind in his throwing program and could miss the start of the season by a week or so. And then Fredi could just pitch every and not worry about off days in regards to the pitching order. But Garcia could make a minimum of 6 starts for 2 months to limit some of Woods innings.
