Looks to me Giles brought another mole over from Nat land

We could have Sav change his name to AlwaysNegativeBravesFan.

BJ is the worst starter in baseball.

Your the BJ Upton of posters.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Come on Simba.

Note to Braves: this is Dice-K.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Would have rather left Varvarro in the game. Gus is going to come in now?

I LOL'd. Well, after I winced at the grammar.

 

[UNCBlue012]

The guys are not about this game haha they're just sick of it.

 

[sturg33]

Wut?

Varvaro is not bad.

What*

Why not Kimbrel?

 

[cajunrevenge]

Please no more Gus Schlosserberger.

Good old save statistic dominating how to manage. Its just so simple. If we give up a run we lose - if we take the lead we have the leeway to give up a run and not lose. Yet because of a statistic the better pitcher has to pitch in the lower leverage situation. Not even blaming Fredi here - its for the most part a league wide rule. None the less so far so good. Need one more out here.

I don't recall even not getting something off of Dice-K.

It is so annoying how dumb managers are

Surprised Schlosser wasn't held back until he was the last guy in the pen. Just in case this turns out to be a very long game.

Just leave him in. They don't want to use Walden and Kimbrel is being held for obvious (to most) reasons. That's all we have left.

 

[cajunrevenge]

This could be a really long game with those shadows between the pitcher and hitter.

 

[TURBO]

Braves will score here.

Hopefully Gus won't have to pitch three innings for the win

 

[UNCBlue012]

Id love to see Jason's numbers on 3-0 counts. He takes the walk a good amount but he just doesn't do much else.

So we can't get 1 run off the worst pen in baseball?
