    Screw him! And I mean SCREW HIM! If he had given us 1/4 of what we are paying him in production, he'd have been out there. Guy is a joke.

    You ask Kimbrel to come in and get the harder outs. Here they happened to be in the 8th. You then reassess the situation for the 9th. You can't win unless you get outs without giving up runs. If he can't go the 9th then you figure it out with another pitcher but at least you're facing the bottom of the order. Puig and to a lesser extent Uribe were the guys that needed more attention. Kimbrel should have been in for the 8th.

    He can't win.

    People love to place blame on other people.

    Bringing in Kimbrel to pitch 2 innings is dumb. He would be gassed in the 9th and wore out for the next game. Besides, he can hang a slider as well as anyone. Carpenter's fastball is almost as good anyway. For some unknown reason he just threw a really, really bad, and dumb, pitch. And McCann let him do it, perhaps even called for it. What an epic fail.

    And if it couldn't get worse, I have to hear Keith Olbermann the most idiotic piece of trash ever taunt the Braves.

    I actually started laughing when I heard him say it.

    TWO ****ING INNINGS. When was the last time he pitched. Elimination mean now or never. Apparently never is Fredi's mantra.

    Of course they're different, but he clearly wasn't picking up the fastball well if he could barely get a bat on it to bunt it.

    Fredi's still a relatively inexperienced manager. Bobby wasn't the best when he first started. This sucks yeah, but if we're going to stay with Fredi, I can't think of any better learning experiences than these playoff games when it counts.
    Forever Fredi
