How far is he going to expect Anthony to pitch? Would rather bring in Floyd lol

Varvaro is the sacrificial lamb.

[cajunrevenge]

The speed that breaks up a double play is the batter not the runner at first. I would say Gattis could break up a DP better than Schafer due to his size.

So when Simmons just flipped to second and Brown was safe and Ruiz was out at first you would say Ruiz prevented the DP? I am not defending Fredi's decision, I didn't like it either, but you asked for the reason and I gave it to you. Schafer would get to 2b quicker than the bear, quicker he gets to second the greater chance of being safe.

[jcc03004]

Is Freddy not happy until all of his pitchers have to have tommy john? Because varvaro threw 30+ pitches last night

[nsacpi]

With 0 bats left on the bench and Gattis burned for no reason, that one looms large, though.

No problem. Varvaro gonna hit a walkoff. Channeling Rick Camp.

[Braves1976]

OK this might be our last real shot to win this one, though no Gattis certainly hurts.

[bravesnumberone]

Has Uggl-ass been used yet? We must pitch him tonight.

[Julio3000]

I assume we'll see bastardo against the lefties.

[CyYoung31]

Fredi's only made one mistake tonight. Pinch running for Gattis.

And it was an incredibly idiotic one.

You've not coached much baseball have you?

Oh man, we are out of pinch hitters too. Dang it Fredi! :(

[nsacpi]

Expecting a huge game from Laird tomorrow.

[Julio3000]

That's strong, from Fredi's biggest backer.

Like I said in the rant thread, he is never prepared for extra innings. No surprise.

[Braves1976]

A replay of Saturday is coming I'm afraid. Fredi set it up that way again.

[AerchAngel]

how many lefties do the phillies have in the bullpen?

Justin Upton is a fast runner. Unlikely he hits into a DP. Either way, it's ridiculously dumb to waste a bench player like that in extra innings.

[jcc03004]

I hate facing bastardo he always seems to pitch lights out against us

[tomahawkchop10]

Haha been watching on my phone from my girlfriend's graduation, ganna be home just in time to watch us win it in the 12th.

[UNCBlue012]

I just got off work and the game is still on... haha finish this!

[Dalyn]

Expecting a huge game from Laird tomorrow.

It would be funny if it went nine or ten more tonight.
