Santana might have been a genius of a desperation sign out of desperate necessity that this organization has desperately signed in quite some time.

Why is Varvaro coming in a one run game with a runner on? Damn, Fredi, you hang out with Tony Larussa or something this offseason?

Hawk
04-14-2014, 08:45 PM
I feel like the Braves need to hire a bullpen coordinator (is Ray King available?) because if there's one aspect of Fredi's managing game that I absolutely hate, it's his inability to use a bullpen correctly.

Really? Vavaro? I don't like this move. Thomas still gets righties out.

My guess Varvaro is just in for one guy. Then Avilan if necessary for the top of the lineup, which has 3 lefties and 1 switch hitter.

Will be interesting to see who pitches the 8th. Fredi has been using Carpenter. But the Phillies have 3 lefty hitters and 1 switch hitter at the top of their lineup. I'd go with Avilan.
