GDT: Braves @ Dodgers (NLDS Game 4, October 7, 2013)

However y'all want To slice it Craig should have pitched the 8th and 9th. Don't give a $%&* if he has done it before. Its a freaking elimination game. Ride with on of the best relievers ever. Not freaking Carpenter

[Gary82]

Anyone catch the shot of Uggla on the bench in the 9th? Hate was oozing out of his pores.

Uggla would have K'ed 8 times in four at bats and made 70 errors tonight. **** him.

He called slider and set up low and away. Carpenter missed badly. You don't throw a slider up in the strike zone like that.[/

Why even call the slider?!?!? Carp throws 97 MPH!! Burn him down with your best pitch!!!

LOL, he couldn't even bunt Carp's FB, so let's throw him a slider! Brilliant!

Why in the hell did Fredi manage that game like it was opening day? Get ready for changes. McCann, kiss my a%% any leave as quick as you can. Uggla you drive. Upton brothers, probably stuck with. Heyward, you played good after coming back from injury, but didn't show up for the playoffs. Carpenter, you gave up the game winning home run. You throw heat, but it was as straight as a sticks and Major League Baseball players can hit fastballs unless their last name is Upton. Fredi, go manage somewhere else. We need someone else. We need a new batting coach. Gattis is not a LF. When Constanza came in and got a hit, IMO, you move him to LF, Gattis to catcher, and sit McCant on the bench. Just pitiful. I don't even know why I stayed up for this crap. It is like a franchise of movies like "Scary Movie" where you know the storyline will change a little, the names will change, but the ending is always about the same. I feel I may be done for a while.

Uribe is a much better fastball hitter than slider.

This year., +3.4 on Fb, -6.2 on sliders.

Total -13 on Fb, -39 on sliders.

He may be the worst slider hitter in baseball.

I guess those stats can be thrown out the window because he hammered a slider and never touched his fastball.

[Julio3000]

I knew I should've stopped and gotten alcohol this evening.

Before a Braves elimination game?

Exactly HOW long have you been a Braves fan?

[Perfect Cell]

Fredi didn't manage a good game, but his managing didn't cost us the game. Yes, Kimbrel should have been out there. But how many managers would have used him in that situation? Maybe 2 or 3.

What killed us, plain and simple, was a horribad pitch from Carpenter. He put it on a freaking tee, and fat Juan did what he does.

Mariano rivera had a ton of 2 inning saves in the playoffs.

this loss is on freddi not on anybody else and quite honestly he needs to go

[Orphan Black]

A game? Classic underreaction.

I'm reacting rationally...I'm disappointed yes, but I'm not going to torch the village over it. The team still had a great year, and their youth really showed in this series. Heck...when Freddie Garcia throws your second best start in the series you probably have to figure that you're in trouble.

Hats off the Garcia, and the team...looking forward to next season.

Several players unhappy to be on the Braves right now. Such a weird feeling.

[bravesnumberone]

Did I see someone on here say Chipper was right? Chipper can eat a dick too.

I hope the Cardinals, Pirates, whoever, freaking destroy the Dodgers so bad that they all have nervous breakdowns and sit in the corner and rock for 10 years straight and when their families find them they're so terrified they rock too.

Puig. I hope Castro kidnaps you.

Uribe, I hope when the apocalypse comes and there's nothing left, Melky ****ING Cabrera cannibalizes you.

And Brian Wilson, just disappear.

[zitothebrave]

I'm done with Sports til April, Falcons are miserable, Braves tanked, World Cup I have no serious interest in. I guess I'll watch the winter olympics?

[CK86]

Every October ends the same via a swift kick to the nuts.

[AerchAngel]

That ****ing bull**** strike 3 call on McCann killed that inning.

Well McCann struck out 4 times this game..........hmmmmmm. You ain't getting the calls if you don't swing the bat this game or any other game this series.

Get your head out of the statbook for a second. Did you see him be incapable of BUNTING the first two FB?

[CrimsonCowboy]

Come on Pirates. I really don't feel like rooting for the Cardinals

Do those stats tell you anything about fastball speed...Uribe can not hit 96 mph fastball...he just can't

[gilesfan]

I guess those stats can be thrown out the window because he hammered a slider and never touched his fastball.

Who doesn't hammer a slider when you hang it at the top of the zone?

[Dalyn]

Hoping for an Oakland/Pirates World Series.

[Gary82]

Well, Mac, you certainly made it easier to let you go. Can't say I'm thrilled to have Gattis as a full time anything.

F that, tape delay.
