We basically threw game three of the Mets series by pitching Loe. When you start throwing away games like that you end up in losing streaks. I mean seriously, Loe has been so bad this year he had an ERA over 8.00 coming in (and had been released by two teams including the lowly Cubs).
Haha. Freddie is going to go by Fred from now on. No confusion. Haha. Really poor game managing as usual. As well as lineup construction, namely writing Uggla on it.
But at least we know he sucks. What if we find out Hale sucks? Can't take that risk.
The first E is for how an idiot spells idiot. The second E is for excellent.
You guys are being hard on Garcia. Yes I know he threw one pitch tonight, but before that he's been very, very good, not giving up anything. Luis Avilan deserves some blame too. If he does his job and doesn't give up that 5th run in the 8th inning, then Simmons homer gives them the lead and Kimbrel closes it out.
This **** is on Wren. He should have never signed Garcia, and he should have never allowed him to pitch in the bigs.
Oh well, I guess we won't win a 100 games.
Avilan should probably be somewhere with his arm in a sling until a week or so before the playoffs.
Ok, that made me feel a bit better...
He also deserves some blame for keeping Fredi after the collapse.
Fredi brought in Avilan to get Roger Bernadina out. David Carpenter can't get Roger Bernadina out? It's just dumb.

Marquis just said Freddy needs to "change the lineup a bit". I was hoping he would clarify by advocating for some bench players to get a chance to start or did he mean to juggle up the current lineup construction. I personally think he meant to let some bench players have a chance. Replace BJ, Uggla and give Justin a night off as well.
And signing BJ and Uggla?
Here's a serious question, with the injury to Downs the Braves need another lefty. Do they call on Joe Beimel and bring him up to pitch since he's already in the organization. It will be interesting to see but they need a second lefty in the bullpen with Downs unavailable.
The extra "d" stands for "discretion" and the "e" is for "efficacy."
He has a 5 ERA the last 2 years. Serious bum. This isn't several years ago. He's a washed up vet.

Remember what he used to do with Sherrill? He would bring him in to face the pitcher (and pull him afterward).
Nah, Garcia pitching scoreless innings in games already over doesn't suddenly make him better. He was very bad this year in Baltimore, when it matters he falls apart. He cannot be counted on outside of pitching mop up duty. I was told that was all he'd see, so much for that.
Not getting a good reliever and a decent SP is going to kill this team
Exactly, though I'll admit that compared to Loe he doesn't look so bad. We couldn't do much worse than adding those two as far as washed up vets go.
