Fredi: "Woody cant get thrown out of that game. He's got to keep his composure a little bit. He cant get thrown out of the game there"

That was after saying he had no idea what was said...

[Braves1976]

I'm sick of Freddi talking about the players to the media. A good manager takes care of this crap behind closed doors.

Yea, plus in this case it seems that he didn't say anything to get thrown out. That the ump just didn't hear him and assumed he got cussed at when that wasn't even so.

[KB21]

Love that Fredi decided to throw Wood under the bus to the press rather than defend his guy... again

With Bobby, Wood doesn't get thrown out there. Bobby does.

[Braves1976]

I didn't agree with Sturg when he said Fredi threw Teheran under the bus, but I definitely agree with him here.

I wish Fredi would have been like Girardi today. CC got thrown out in a very similar fashion and Girardi stormed out of the dug out to defend CC (who was much worse than Wood).

The post game comments are unnecessary. Stand by your guy, Fredi.

What did he say about Teheran? I must have missed that one.

Time to see what Terry can do with the team.

Also, if Fredi ever got off his ass and said something to an ump Wood wouldn't feel the need to have to take it in his own hands. What a joke.

He didn't have the same confidence with Julio out there than he did last year. Said he is completely healthy.

That Teheran made him feel "uncomfortable" in the SF start.

Time to see what anyone else can do other than Fredi. It would be one thing if he was a brilliant tactician but he is a dolt.

Oh, now that you mention it I recall that. But that seemed to more a reaction by Fredi to the media asking him that same question about Teheran so much. Fredi seemed to decide to admit that because he was tired of answering that question over and over. Now I agree it's still not a wise move but still not the same as this IMO.

Yea, only a moron throws his player under the bus right after admitting he didn't even know what was said, etc. I mean that is like, umm I don't what happened or why but hey the ump cannot be in the wrong so lemme throw my player under the bus to let off some frustration.

[Braves1976]

David Aardsma struckout 2 his scoreless inning for Gwinnett today. We might want to add him to our pen tomorrow.

90% of the Fredi criticism on here is the same crap every team's fans say about their manager, but I did not like this. Not at all. Wood got thrown out for jack****.

If even Gov didn't like it Fredi must have did something wrong. I didn't know if I'd see the day he'd question Fredi (partly joking there btw). :)

Braves will be 10 games under .500 and 15 back by the end of the month.

If they are, i dont think anyone will be that mad, it's a throwaway year.

[Braves1976]

It will be a shame though as this team is better than expected, and other teams in the division have struggled more than expected, making this year more ideal for making a run that probably next year. If we had a bullpen and manager good enough to put it all together. The latter two areas are where we are most lacking IMO.

That said, I have always said if no playoffs then I want the best draft pick position we can get.

I agree actually but i think the lack of hitting talent will hurt us the rest of the way.

But yes, with a better pen and manager, we could probably contend for the division/WC spot as crazy as that seemed before the year.

Yep, but the front office had a chance to take care of one of the biggest problems and failed to do so.
