    Believe me my arm is already very flexible.

    And I was pointing out that snit has never shown the ability to grasp the idea of rest despite some saying he can still rest guys. I am fine with playing a full lineup if you have a plan. Snits plan is to fill his card out in sharpie and go to war.

    Yes even the dumbest people know we should sit Neck against Lester. But it was silly for some to think snit would.

    The best thing I can say about Snit is that often his worst managed games the team has come back and won. Both this season and last, not always but much more often than most. So they clearly like playing for him and pick him up a lot after such blunders. But you rather your team not be put in the spot where that is required to win a game.

    Neck needs to sit.

    He has not been good against Lester.

    Carmargo is available.

    ?

    So they are winning in spite of snit. Not sure that is a ringing endorsement

    He doesn't have any RBI's against Lester? My God what is Snit thinking?!

    But seriously Camargo should be playing.

    Btw. I wasn’t calling anyone here dumb. Just that my 10 year daughter who doesn’t know crap about baseball could have made that call. But people here think snit must have some plan for rest or we don’t know all the info. BS. We have seen enough of this dumb hillbilly to know he has no tactical clue what he is doing.

    The Braves have a very good GM who helps the old school Snit as much as possible. Snit isn't as bad as he used to be because of that. But he is still refusing to change old habits that could come back to bite us later on. Think second half Markakis for example and remember he isn't getting any younger.

    Oddly I am. I am sensing 2 or fewer runs given up by JT tonight.

    One of Carmargo or Culbersn should be in the lineup tonight. Ridiculous

    Yeah. Camargo should be in today. Looks like the Cubs have RHP going the last three games of the series.

    The only thing I can figure is that Snit really doesn’t like Camargo’s defense in RF. I can understand that, but Markakis isn’t great out there either and Camargo’s bat would probably make up the difference.

    small sample but his UZR/150 in right is better than Markakis

    Well, Snit is kind of dumb, that’s no secret.

    What did Camargo shoot in his arm? A marijuana?

    Obviously Tomlin won't be available. Jackson, Swarzak and Minter pitched both Saturday and Sunday. Given that he threw the fewest pitches yesterday, I'm guessing Swarzak is the closer tonight and the other two will not be used.
    I agree and I get why they did it since Dayton has plenty of options I just don’t like it
