Because fredi's in charge of calling up/sending down pitchers.....
What ever happened to keeping the fredi stuff in the fredi thread? This guy and braves1976 have been bitching non stop. This board is reaching scout level
Seriously, imagine a high leverage situation in the seventh inning tomorrow against a right-handed hitter. Do we want Simmons or Varvaro facing him? I wonder if Fredi even realizes he is making the choice today by having Simmons rather than Varvaro pitch the ninth.

Heavy steps pal, bdawg going to call you out too for "bitching"... :)
25 pitches for Simmons

Yea let's call a spade a spade here. The idea of moving up TLS was to get BJs ass on the bench or down in the order.

A bad time to be playing like this with the Nats coming up next.
So your saying Fredi has nothing to do with call ups/sending down players? If not, that may be another big problem we have. Fredi should be able to go to the front office and say when he needs a arm or bat for the next day. I would say he does and I would also say he screwed the pooch by not doing so before this game.
Well tomorrow, we have Kimbrel, Walden, Avilan and Varvaro good to go.
Hale probably not available. Simmons should not be asked. Would be four straight days and six in seven days.
Beato has pitched two straight games. I would option him back down and bring up Thomas.
Fredi says he'd like to see whats he's got on back to back to back days.

I can't believe we just got swept by those red butt fckers.

This is your way of displaying your anger for the team. Therefore, that is "scout level ".
Imo people should be able to voice there opinions on in game moves. As long as they don't get personal, inappropriate, or start bringing up old irrelevant decisions, I don't see the problem...
Oh and I'm sorry, I didn't know I was on the Royals message board. You know the team that has won 9 out of 10 and leads their division.
Look we are 1 game above 500 and I hate losing. Fredi is not a good manager and never has been. We have some talent on this team. He needs to learn how to use them in the right spots.
The situation has not been easy. Two extra inning games. Several other games where the starter has not pitched deep into the game. But those are the times when a good manager earns his keep. The bullpen situation has been dire. And some of it could have been avoided with some foresight and planning.

I'm just saying...the Royals fired the hitting coach, and they are now in 1st place, and I believe scored more runs than anyone in baseball since.

We've been playing like this for 2 months

Good point. That is wheat happens when someone isn't getting the job done. None of us would have a job if we failed as bad as this offense has so far this year. We would be shown the door. Anyone that says otherwise has not worked a public job.
If we fire him, who will coordinate the team hunting trips? The team will have a lot of time on their hands with deer season in October.
Time for Pendleton to ride his Harley into the managerial spot for a while to see what he's got, and Fredi can ride his the hell of Atlanta. Walker and Fletcher can go on permanent hunting leave of absence and Chipper can take over.
