Personally, I would have left Wood in anyway instead of pinch hitting...but Fredi is anti leaving the starter in. It's like he feels he needs to use the 'pen.
      I do agree with your point that he takes the starter out way earlier than he should and relies on the bullpen too much; for that matter, he can stretch several guys further than the situation he uses them for (remember Venters continually warming up 1-2 times a game and only throwing 5 pitches?!).

      It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

          ReOpening Day in Baltimore tonight vs Blue Jays. Jerseys are going to have "Baltimore" on them instead of "Orioles". Nice touch

            Bryant and Rizzo go back-to-back. Better get used to that.

              I hate Marco Estrada.

              I'm also getting sick and tired of the Jays hitters getting killed by these low and outside pitches that are being called strikes. It's beyond ridiculous sometimes.

                What are the umpires looking at in the Reds/Braves!? I could tell Pierzynski was safe without a replay...and despite the challenge they don't overturn it

                  How surprising. The Braves won when Miller started. If only the rest of the staff learned to pitch. This team should be above .500 despite the preseason expectations. The question marks were the lineup which has been good so far. The pitching has been terrible outside of Miller and Grilli.

                    Phillies have optioned Cody Asche to Triple-A to convert him to left field. Looks like Maikel Franco is coming this week. Kind of a Kris Bryant situation where the Phillies are keeping him in Triple-A until the 15th to get that extra year of team control. Kid is raking in Triple-A so far this year. Phillies need some punch in this lineup.

                      Would have been nice to catch some of that BABIP luck vs the Cards. Cubs saved by a few hard-hit balls right at the defense in the 9th. Castro made a fantastic play on one, though.

                      Bullpen finally did some good work tonight.

                        Some great defensive plays in the Marlins/Dodgers game.

                        Stanton with a great catch and doubled up the runner at 1B, saving a run.

                        Gordon with a slick behind the back flip to 1B for an out on a slow roller.

                        Van Slyke just threw a bullet to gun Yelich at the plate on a sac fly.

                          Yup. Thank goodness we won anyway. That was a ****ing joke.

                          Miller dealt again. Maybe Teheran could pitch like Teheran and Wood will stop being so damn flaccid and we can do something worth a damn.

                            Shelby is making that Heyward trade look good lately...he really looks like a young Roger Clemens and I like it.

                              I felt so bad for Steve Cishek...just brutal. Great and entertaining game though between LA/Mia.

                                I'd be happy with 60% of Clemens and none of the douche.
