SATURDAY GAME THREAD vs Marlins 5/12/18

[CJ9]

Make Bautista go away.

[wowbobwow]

Not the best route by Ender there. Probably not a catchable ball, but no chance with that route.

[atl717]

There was no way to justify the Bautista move. Even if he was okay with the bat, it wouldn't outweigh the plus defense we get from Flaherty/Camargo.

I tried to be positive and rationalize it, but you’re right. He’s done absolutely nothing for us.

[msstate7]

If AA doesn't cut Bautista after this, he should be heavily criticized for the garbage that follows, and it will

[USMA76]

Moylan in the game. Haven't we suffered enough?

[Braves1976]

I don't like the way Flowers called this game at all.

[striker42]

Terrible, terrible defense this inning. Just no excuse.

[wowbobwow]

Even without his best stuff Mike should have had 6 or 7 1 run innings. Positive start in my eyes

totally agree.. that pitch to Dietrich wasn't that bad, too much of the plate, but it was down. Good hitting

[Runnin]

I would understand if Flaherty wasn't doing a good job.

Especially after the way Anthopoulos preached all offseason about the importance of building a strong defense. And then he adds Bautista?!

And it's actually eliminated one of his early good moves (flahrety) so it's even worse than what you're describing.

This has to be it for him.

[jpack1]

It’s mind boggling with the production we were getting out 3B why we handed the job to Bautista. Guy hasn’t played 3B in 10 years and we give him the job at dam near 40. Just stupid.

[Braves1976]

Soroka was hurt today by bad defense and a poorly called game, even without his best stuff he should've gotten a win.

[UNCBlue012]

I’m guessing Bautista has some nude photos of AA.

[Hawk]

watch bautista produce some offensive heroics now

[UNCBlue012]

Let’s get the lead back!

[thewupk]

watch bautista produce some offensive heroics now

yeah right.

The signing of Bautista wasn't bad. Seemingly giving the 3B job was.

[Heyward]

Should have been 5-1 after 5 innings with competant defense.

AA has done more good than bad, but i dont get what Joey brings to the team. Even if Camargo/RF dont hit they're at least good on defense.
