GDT #69. 6/16 7:10 PM (EDT) Phillies(Hamels) @ Braves(Teheran)

As our idiot manager continues to trot out the SVOD in the 2 hole and make some mind boggling moves late in the game when we are trying to win, what do you expect to happen?

We win in spite of him, not because of him.

 

[FreemanFan]

Did someone forget to tell Hale this is a real game and not batting practice? I guess Fredi's going to leave him in until the bitter end.

 

[jsebe10]

This is going to be another devastating loss.

Devastating? A bit dramatic...

Are you really honestly surprised though? Seriously? This Offense sucks big time d1ck! 1 run in 13 innings you deserve to lose...

 

[USMA76]

As I said earlier, you spin the chamber of the revolver long enough and keep pulling the trigger, this is what you get.

 

[Dalyn]

Devastating? A bit dramatic...

Surprised? No. Nothing surprises me with this team right now.

 

[Braves1976]

This is Hale's outing Saturday as well. Not as bad. At least not yet.

Hale pitched great for two innings Saturday, he is apparently tired like the rest of our bullpen.

 

[bravesnumberone]

What a piss poor route to the ball, Heyward. Why don't you all just walk off the field?

 

[AerchAngel]

My balls are swollen and I am passed out, the nut punches were too much.

Who cares. The game is over.

Did someone tell the offense that they might need to score more than 1 fckn run in 13 innings?

 

[UNCBlue012]

This is so embarrassing. What is up with our BP sucking so much in extra inning games? I'm a big Hale fan, but he's just trying to work his way out of the majors.

 

[mfree80]

I knew that Freddie wasn't a very good defensive 1B but I was kind of shocked to learn that he's dead last in defensive runs saved with -4. He's actually costing us runs.

No wait Garrett Jones is -6.

That's more a failing of the stat than of Freddie.

 

[KB21]

Wait a minute. Philly didn't pinch run for Ryan Howard. I thought you had to pull one of your better hitters out for a pinch runner in that instance.

 

[AerchAngel]

Hale pitched great for two innings Saturday, he is apparently tired like the rest of our bullpen.

This is all on our manager and his brutal use of the bullpen.

 

[Braves1976]

Simmons was burned for one batter with two outs tonight. That is on Fredi!

 

[jsebe10]

I am not going to blame Hale at all here...Dude is probably worn the hell out...

 

[bravesnumberone]

They've had to work a lot because our sorry ass offense is incapable of putting together some blowouts.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

So you expect hale never to allow a hit?

He faced 13 batters on Saturday and allowed 5 runs to score. Tonight he has faced 9 batters and 5 more runs have scored and he just walked a pitcher who had no clue what to do after ball 4.

 

[jsebe10]

Wait a minute. Philly didn't pinch run for Ryan Howard. I thought you had to pull one of your better hitters out for a pinch runner in that instance.

Dooohhmmmm....I get it!

 

[AerchAngel]

FAst forward 15 minutes after the game, Braves pitcher David Hale is going to have Tommy John surgery due to overuse.
