    This deserves its own thread

    Jim Bowden @JimBowden_ESPN
    John Hart just told us that he’d like to go forward w/ Fredi Gonzalez & that he deserves to come back for another year @MLBNetworkRadio

    If so, it won't matter much what we do this off-season. And I'll be skipping next season till he's gone. He is a butcher on a bullpen and that doesn't get talked about enough. A number of former Brave relievers career are over or likely over due to him. Then add to that his crazy line-ups and panic style of managing and he's one of the worst managers in MLB. I am not going to another game till he's gone.

    The good news is with our budget this off-season and his bad managing he won't make it past next year.

    I'm less optimistic than I was when Wren was first let go.

    Yep. Pretty much. I'll be around here and follow the games like that, but I won't spend a dime on the Braves.

    Yea, that's what I meant by skipping next season. That I won't be going to any games till he's gone. But I'll still go to Gwinnett Braves games as they play near where I live and I rather watch the minor league kids play than watch Fredi making winning harder for the Major league team.

    How many more September collapses do we need to see that will convince management that Fredi's terrible?

    Just wondering, who do you replace Fredi with if you fire him?

    I'm curious.

    I've said before firing him wont make much difference.

    You continue to miss the point. There are numerous folks we could try.

    And you are just as wrong this time as you were the first time you said it.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
