    Martin getting hurt contributed of course.
    leaving MM in to face a lefty, only to move to the LHP that same inning? outrageously stupid.

    Jackson was the right move. Gotta go with the righty vs their best RH hitters.

    I do think he made a mistake keeping Melancon out there, so I can see the complaint there.

    Cards manager made some big mistakes too, but got away with them.

    Bottom line is that if Melancon is going to suck this series then we are in trouble.

    if they realized how much he sucked, he wouldn’t be batting 5th and placed in RF in crunch time.
    Acuña was 100x the player Markakis was today.

    The problem with picking up the option is that Snitker insists on using him as an everyday player. That's why I think AA might be forced to reject it.

    Should have been more urgency to have Tomlin-Newk warming up while Jackson was out there considering Jackson's poor last few months.

    Jackson should not have been allowed to face Wong.

    It's debatable on if Newk should of been brought in aagainst Carpenter. But when Wong came up in the 9th, Melancon was already at 23-25 pitches. Newk was warm and ready to go (or should have been). Instead a gassed MM gives up a double to Wong.

    The guy who was on base 4 times today and made great defensive plays has turned into the goat because his brain turned off for 3 seconds.

    Makes sense.

    Snitker is correct. Hopefully someone chewed out Acuna tonight

    MM facing Wong is mind boggling.

    I think all this is avoided if Jackson doesn’t make the roster over Teheran...At a minimum he comes in for a couple after Dallas’ early exit.

    Love how they are focusing on Acuna not running out a double, but they won't dare say how their manager botched his bullpen usage big time in the last two innings.

    exactly.
    one is a brain queef for 3 seconds.
    the other is permanent incompetence.
    guess which costs the team more often and more severely?

    Again, I don't think it really matters because Acuña obviously isn't a guy who learns from his mistakes nor does he respond to correction. He doesn't think anyone can tell him how to play and, at this point, I doubt he ever changes. If you want his talent in the lineup, you have to accept his childish antics even if it costs you some wins.

    It was a move that you see advanced analytics teams do, and we became one of those teams once AA came in. The old guard is out but the same ole Braves are still here.
    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.
