I wonder if they would have walked Wood if Mead were still on available. Awesome the lefty walked wood.

Garcia makes them pay!

And Franny makes the same point about Mead / Garcia, crediting Butera's decision, as he should

Apparently the longest start he's had in his career.  A "quality" one at that.

i know it’s a long way away but you can’t let Wood leave. You just can’t

He's Boras.  Not only will he go elsewhere as a FA, good chance he's traded at arb2 after Mini Me floats a BS story into the media about "offering him x years for yy millions" or some such nonsense about an offer they knew wouldn't even get a response from his agent.

Given the quality of that line up and what it has been putting up, I'll buy that that was true quality.

The White HR was crazy.

An insurance run or two would go a long way.

Wood could have gotten that but it was a bit over his head.    8)

that's one of the first  flies I've seen Wood misread in right.

We haven't seen much of Varland but so far so good.  Seems like good scouting to scoop him up.

Growing up in Boston, I learned the "strz" in Yaz before I was 9. The rest of the name is spelled like it sounds.
