8/5: GDT Marlins marking glorious return of Encheff to even more glorious Chopcountry

[Deester11]

I don't like Snit and don't want to see him managing next year -- but he will be

I'm so with you. Shanks is wetting himself over the notion.

[msstate7]

So the decision to use luke will most likely result in using viz too. Come on johns... we don't need snit back

[nsacpi]

My conspiracy theory which I base on nothing but speculation is snit resents players coming straight to Atlanta from AA. You know skipping where snit coached for so long

explains the Swanson benching

[Enscheff]

People who watched him more than me --did Ozzie's bat look this slow from the left side of the plate in Gwinnett?

He looks to have a bit of a long swing LHed to me.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Luke, you had one job dude.

7-2 and we burn our closer

[bravesfanMatt]

not a fan of using our closer here. Gets him a cheap save.. but still use a guy we might not need tomorrow.

[Southcack77]

I don't think going home was the play there ha.

You are one swing from being in a ball game. What else is a closer for?

Unreal....

he's not a punch and judy hitter

[msstate7]

Viz 3rd straight save since taking over

[Tino25Dynasty]

Watching Vizcaíno.... Just makes Snit look that much worse for waiting to try someone else at closer.

I mean, the "last 3" outs are only as big as the person closing it makes it. If you're able to come in and just make it another inning (like Kimbrel did just up and came into the majors and did that with ease) then it's really not THAT hard to find a "decent enough" closer. Johnson was going so bad, I wouldn't have had him closing for me college team if I had one...

he can be up and ready.. if that one swing happens then bring him in. Why not JJ there or another pen guy.

Its the right move. Just annoying Jackson couldn't get three outs.

[Tapate50]

Y'all had a big day around here huh ?

What did I miss?

[GeorgiaGirl]

I can see why they want to just remove Oz's leg kick. On that side it's too slow and if he tries to loft its not going to go anywhere. Shame because the leg kick in little players has really worked but he might just be eventually a Prado like case in which one side is great and the other is average.

Was Prado a SH at one point?

No he wasn't. I'm just talking about the idea of being an average hitter vs RH but great vs LH.
