GDT: 4/10 vs CARDINALS as Worst Week Ever continues

[msstate7]

So stupid that Matheney is hitting Rosenthal in a 6 run lead all so that he can get a save... why waste his pitches in a blowout?

That save stat was the dumbest thing ever created in the sport

Probably just scared of the braves' dangerous offense

Not as bad as how Fredi wasted Grilli and Viz yesterday.

All I can hear watching this is Coppy's words from the offseason. "We won't get caught short in the pen again".

Yeah, about that...

Don't forget the whole front office took a "collective vow" not to let a repeat of last year happen. But maybe they didn't mean it.

He's doing the exact same thing... wasting Rosenthal in a blowout

Perhaps they meant to not allow the team to be as good as last year's?

But it wasn't a blowout at the time he brought him in, now he's just allowing him to get the save. I am not saying I agree with it, I am just saying using Viz in a blowout and then letting Grilli throw 30 or so pitches in the same blowout was worse.

Well, I mean the offense IS better. The pitching, however, is a dumpster fire

[mossy]

We have nothing to gain by winning right?

The more this snowballs the better.

[WaitingFor2017]

Welp, hope Matheny enjoys not getting to use Rosy in the Cards' home opener tomorrow afternoon

[sturg33]

Rosenthal gonna throw 30 pitchers just to make sure he gets that almighty save

[skillet]

My god this team is terrible. Absolutely embarrassing.

[WaitingFor2017]

Minnesota had a 9th inning lead on KC but KC now threatening to win in the 10th. Minny is the other winless team

[WaitingFor2017]

Shelby Miller should realize he is longer on Atlanta. 84 pitches through 4.

For those who have been fans for years and years, how does this team compare to the 1988 team that started 0-10?

In the best Major league, the movie quote.. "Sh$%$y"

[Braves1976]

Since Chacin is coming up to start, I'd expect Jose to go byebye and either Ryan Weber (RHP) or Hunter Cervenka (LHP) to replace Winkler. Weber could if they are looking to sign a second lefty soon, but they may be leaning towards giving Hunter a shot as he's been great since signing last year. He hasn't even given up an earned run in a Braves uniform going back to last year (19 games total, 16 with G-Braves last year).

Poor Winkler :(

The Claudian strategy--let Rome burn

More like the Johnian Strategy. Let Atlanta burn.

Well, this disastrous start will make it easier to show an upward trajectory in the second half, I suppose. There's also the benefit of adding another nail to Fredi's coffin.

Another guy who should probably be getting a tad nervous is Roger McDowell. It's early of course, but I'm not sure he has enough "juice" with the FO at this point to be a sure thing if they bring in a new Manager.
