Fredi Gonzalez Rant Thread.

[The Chosen One]

Here you go. It all stays in here, do not flood other threads with it.

[NinersSBChamps]

He should be extended. Can't deny that awesome win-loss record from April-August.

[Perfect Cell]

Im officially on the fire freddi bandwagon.

[gilesfan]

Walking the go ahead run was bad. Not using best player, much worse. Hey, he's ready for the 9th now!

[Heyward]

Carp made one bad pitch.

Bringing in Kimbrel for 6 sure, but he struggled in four outs, no lock he seals it with six but go down with your best guns.

[Perfect Cell]

Id go with Kimbrel in the 8th and Anybody else in the 9th if Kimbrel struggles. The 8th Is always the worst inning.

[NinersSBChamps]

I dislike Fredi as much as the next guy, but he isn't why we got beat. The feast or famine offense is the reason why we lost. You want to blame one single person, blame Frank Wren for constructing this team. Fredi didn't make McCann's last game in a Braves uniform the worst of his career. There are plenty of players to blame before Fredi is to blame.

[gilesfan]

No, u can't pin a whole series on him. But you can criticize him for having best player involved in 1 inning in 4 games even thought they 4th game was a 1 run game in the 8th.

Players like Carpenter and Teheren just weren't ready for the moment. Young players who haven't had enough of pressure experiences in the bigs to know how to channel that energy. I would have used Kimbrel in the 8th and 9th for the same reason that Fredi went with Garcia. The moment would not be too big for either in an elimination game. And it wasn't hindsight for me as I was asking matchup pitching in 7th and Kimbrel for the final 2 innings.

FIRE WREN AND FREDI

and then you have others like the giants winning the WS with 0 playoff experience

Say Kimbrel starts struggling in the 9th. Gives up a lead-off hit or walk. Who cares? Hopefully he would've gone 1-2-3 in the 8th, getting through Puig and Uribe, and then you can bring in Carptner or whoever else to face the bottom third of the order.

I doubt we even fire either of the hitting coaches (though maybe they aren't that bad if you ignore Uggla and BJ's performances, not sure if that's appropriate). I don't think Fredi even gets heat.

[Gary82]

Fire Fredi. He has done nothing to earn tenure like Bobby. He should have been fired after 2011.

[shabadu84]

Keep Wren, Fredi needs to go. The decision making is poor, even an blind monkey could get 90 wins out of this talent. A competent manager could do so much more

[Braves1976]

Agreed.

[cajunrevenge]

I know Fredi wont be fired this offseason but next year it should be NLCS or he is fired. Maybe if his job is on the line he will use ****ing Kimbrel more than once in a ****ing 5 game series.
