Fredi Fredi Fredi, oh my dearest Fredi, how stupid must you be? Thou shall not like winning streaks.

[Braves1976]

If Fredi so afraid of three lefties, you bat a strong lefty hitter like Justin second. It worked last year but he refuses to go back to it. He'll probably try everything else first then do so come Sept., lol.

I'll add this here too: Boni is hitting .286 vs tonight's lefty, BJ is hitting .143 against him in 14 AB's. But Boni sits tonight and BJ starts. That's three lefties he has sat him while playing him against righties he has poor numbers, lol. La Stella back to the bench too...

[tvsportscaster]

Well, he could always move Simmons to the two spot. TOMMY LASTELLA needs to be in the lineup. Sorry to yell.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY BJ SHOULD NEVER BE IN THE LINEUP EVER AGAIN. SEND HIS BUTT TO THE INSTRUCTIONAL LEAGUE.

Stella! was one of the guys who kept me watching through the bull****. Really pissed that he lost his ****ing job for no reason. Can't stand Fredi. Not one bit.

He lost his job for a perfectly good reason. Because Fredi hates left handed hitters. Remember when he "platooned" jason? That was epic stupidity.

[jsebe10]

Idk why we even get mad about the guy anymore.

Exactly.

I stopped getting mad at him about 2 1/2 weeks ago. He is what he is...

[jsebe10]

In all seriousness, La Stella could have an intestinal virus or some crap we don't know about....

Unfortunately my friend, our dearest manager is playing matchup here lol.

Oh, I am fully aware....consider my comments to be more in line with battered wife syndrome than anything else...

[CyYoung31]

CJ is the one who should be getting subbed for defense.

[The Chosen One]

Fredi is a genius.

[AerchAngel]

Fredi is a genius.

Oh geez, his head is big enough. Are you asking for Bonds post PED headsize? That is where you are going.

[Braves1976]

Yep. 5th worst DRS in MLB is CJ at third. That's bad...

[cajunrevenge]

So Fredi already lost the game? Bummer.

[zitothebrave]

So Fredi already lost the game? Bummer.

According to fWAR combining our position and pitchers value, only teams ahead of us are the Nats, Dodgers and Cards. For a more complete breakdown.

Nats - 34.6
Dodgers - 33.0
Cards - 27.8
Braves - 27.7
Brewers 27.1

Basically we should be where the Cards and Brewers are, not the Pirates and Giants. Our players are getting results, we're not seeing guys put in the position that will maximize our production (say batting 2 of our worst hitters 1-2 and leaving so many open bases for Freddie and Justin our far and away 2 best hitters)

[buck75]

Simmons was lucky to have not been thrown out (slowing down and looking back at the pitch). BJ had his pouty face on.

[buck75]

Huge hit

[cajunrevenge]

All you had to say was Fredi starts BJ.

[USMA76]

Stolen base in front of the pitcher coming up to bat. Fredi's a genius.
