    "this isn't an issue" - I comprehend that as the 8th inning going much more smoothly for us


    So where did I mess up the comprehension?

    Surely you know, because you agree with her
    Look, you dumbass Enscheff brown-noser. I did not blame Newk for the loss, I blamed Snit. how hard is that for you to understand? D

    Bottom line, we lost with using Jackson who sucks, leaving Ramirez in when he couldn't throw strikes and an overused Sam Freeman who also was wild. There were better bullpen arms we could've used to save the win and Snit didn't use them.

    Jackson is awful, he shouldnt be pitching in a game like this.

    Ramirez has showed flashes of good pitching, the weather conditions were so bad i'd give him a break.

    You blamed him for not pulling Newcomb earlier...

    But that inning was over at 10-3

    Putting the 8th inning on that decision is laughably stupid

    Okay, but how is not taking Newk out earlier the reason we lost? Makes no sense.

    You're assuming everything stays the same. It doesn't.

    Reminds me of the big blown lead against the Nationals a couple of years ago when Dan Uggla hit the winning HR for the Nationals against Grilli. Game had the same feel.

    The Braves record at this point is 8-6. You can blame 3 of the losses on Snitckers because of very poor bench use and BP use. Run out of players going into an extra inning game is unexcusable. Time for him to go??

    Hernandez should have been gone before the start of this season. Now with BP leading the majors in BBs why is he still around. He NEEDS to go NOW!!! Get to work AA and do your job. Your job is not just players, but coaches and managers. Hernandez should not see ATL in a Braves uni!!!!! I still don't understand replacing McDo-well with Hernandez???

    I'm not blaming this game on Newcomb, I'm saying simply maybe if you pull him after 5, it doesn't start the snowballing. Maybe you put in Shane Carle for two innings, then go to the mop-up guys and have no problem.

    Then maybe with the 8th inning in the case you did have, considering you do need to build up Minter, maybe you put in Minter instead of putting in the guy you'd consider the 5th guy behind Vizcaino/Minter/Freeman/Winkler.

    Or maybe, with it being 10-5, don't put in Jackson at all and have Shane Carle maybe even finish the game, as it's been a few days since he pitched. He's shown good control and while he may give up a run or 2, it may not end up being walkathon.

    Heck, with how Shane Carle has done, you can make a good argument that Ramirez isn't even the 5th guy.

    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Was at work, saw the Braves were up like 10-2, thought "good job Braves". Driving home from work and I turn on the radio (sadly live in Cubs market) only for the announcers to say the Cubs scored 9 runs in the 8th inning to come back and win. WTF. I then go to ESPN.com to try to make some sense of this and the 30 second video is somehow even worse than I imagined. I'd be infuriated if I had watched that game from start to finish, so gross.
