Should of been a walk. Idiot ump

[Enscheff]

And Laz continues to be the worst umpire in the game of baseball.

[Braves1976]

Markakis fouled off ball four before grounding out there. Oh well.

Well CB Bucknor is the one behind the plate today. Granted he and Diaz are two of the worst in the game.

[Braves1976]

Good game by Blair at least.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Why Ogando instead of Withrow? Withrow was warming up last inning.

isn't this 3 days in a row for Ogando?

When you have multiple opportunities where you just need a sac fly and your hitters can't even put it in play, that reflects poorly on the manager. This team is built to play small ball but has zero focus on the little things.

we K way too much to play small ball..

Ogando is overworked. The bullpen will give a round of applause once Fredi is fired in the next week.

[UNCBlue012]

I want Fredi as far away from this game as possible. You can't teach him anything. Learn your match ups dude.

And so will every other pitcher that pitched for the Braves from 2011 to now. I'm guessing the party will be thrown by Linebrink, Venters, and Gearrin. Should be lots of alcohol and great food for everyone, as long as their former battery mate Laird and Braves beat writer aren't invited.

I know the roster is pretty awful but I'll be so happy when Fredi is fired. It's hard enough to win when you aren't a good team but having an idiot leading you makes it pretty much impossible.

[UNCBlue012]

Thank God we got lucky there though.

Well, these players are really ****ty FWIW. Can't blame Fredi for literally everything.

Haha and I knew it was CB too. No idea why I typed Laz. I guess they are both so bad I interchange them in my head.

No.. but I was thinking a safety squeeze with Jace. he literally had no chance against a lefty.

[bravesfanMatt]

honestly at this point, the game is over. Unless Max or Viz gets in, I don't really care. The Braves won in my book because Blair was strong... and by Fredi playing Stubbs, moved him one notch closer to being GONE!!!!

F*** bunting, man. I hope our new manager doesn't embrace that. It's easily my biggest gripe with Fredi.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Francoeur misplayed that ball horribly.
