This loss is on Fredi. What the hell was he thinking bringing in Avilan in the 8th?

Not just him. The bats had plenty of chances to put this away in later innings and didn't. JUSTIN.Originally Posted by Garmel

Technically he didn't fail but the biogenesis scandal outed him as a participant to their undetected PEDs.
Forever Fredi
Yeah, good point.
It's Dan Uggla's fault. If he wasn't wasting a spot on the bench we would have more options. Need to go ahead and cut him loose now.

I didn't see the game, I decided to burn my eyes and watch the trash that was Transformers: Age of Extinction but I see that Avilan came in for no reason during the ninth while Shae Simmons was used in the ninth...
We had a 3-2 lead and Avilan was the eighth inning man. Why?
Also, Transformers was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. So glad I didn't have to pay to see it.
Not all Fredi's fault, although Walden in the 8th might have won the game but i reckon we will never know.
Also had chances early in the game to add some more runs and didnt.
I hope this team isn't about to start a streak the opposite way. I sure would hate to undo all the good work they did during the 9-game winning streak. Maybe tomorrow we'll actually use our setup man in the 8th inning and not Avilan.

I agree with this to a degree, playing with one less player than everyone else.
Liberty won't eat 12 mil just to eat 12 mil.

Fredi G. on the ninth-inning reversal: "That might be the worst call or interpretation I have ever seen."

So I tried to come up with an explanation that made sense. But turns out the umpires & replay folks were simply embarrassingly incompetent.

Umpire Tim Timmons on the reversal: "(Simmons) is trying to complete the double play quicker. He’s trying to gain an advantage."
Kevin McAlpin @KevinMcAlpin 55s
Umpire Mike Everett: “We determined that the throw took him off, and that was going to be reviewable”

WTF is Timmons talking about?!
Trying to turn the double play and avoid getting hurt is the reason that the neighborhood play exists. I hope Joe Torre comes out tomorrow and embarrasses the umpires.

#Braves A. Simmons on the call: “I ain’t got nothing good to say about it, so I’d rather not say anything.”

I'm wondering why Timmons never got his name legally changed, instead of going with the name his meth tweaking parents burdened him with.
Reading the explanations from the umpires is enough to give you a headache.

He won't. Remember the WC game?

Joe Torre is a joke. **** him.
