Lets give Stults some breathing room so he can get 7 in the books.

Not to be cynical but, win or lose, when does this team ever make anything easy?

 

[Garmel]

Looks like KJ might be seriously hurt. That totally blows.

 

[Orphan Black]

What happened to KJ?

 

[USMA76]

Like I said, when is any game an easy one for us?

 

[Braves1976]

Magic Wandy come back to us! Stults go byebye or to bullpen!

Yeah, Braves' management really got that one right, didn't they?

I hated dropping Wandy for either Cahill or Stults for multiple reasons including not liking Cahill at all and being a longtime fan of Wandy. Plus Wandy grew up a Braves fan so it was a dream come true crushed for him. To add insult to it Fredi announced that he'd made the team before we released him.

So what you're saying was not only was it a poor personnel decision but that we also botched it from the perspective of "people skills."

Just splendid.

Yep.

 

[Garmel]

What happened to KJ?

Oblique strain.

 

[Julio3000]

Oblique strain.

****.

 

[USMA76]

...and in other news, we're being no-hit through three innings and have given up a 347 foot home run.

 

[Braves1976]

Oblique strain.

Is there a rule that Braves clean-up hitters that are any good must get that type of injury? Mac, Gattis and now KJ..

Was Freeman batting clean-up when he had it in early 2013 too? I forget.

 

[Garmel]

It's time to quit watching this ****.

 

[Braves1976]

The way Stults gives up homers if he pitched here all year he'd be released.

 

[USMA76]

If he pitched anywhere he should be released. The guy is hot garbage.

 

[Braves1976]

He may end up released by us if he keeps this up. I sure don't see him ever having any trade value, so that is another reason I'd kept Wandy over Stults. Oh well.

 

[USMA76]

The only reason I'm watching this game right now is basically the same as "rubbernecking" through an accident zone. That and to see if we can be no-hit by some guy I've never heard of.
