6/3/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ Arizona Diamondbacks (Maybin back in the lineup)

Fredi overmanaging here with Gomes. Give me good defense and solid offense over horrid defense and mediocre offense in a tight game late.
 
Dumb call by Fredi—and I would've said that even if Gomes had scored a hit.
 
If Fredi is our manager, the front office CANNOT give him a past his prime (was Gomes ever at his prime??) vet... He'll use him often and often incorrectly.
 
I hate Fredi so, so much. Another bad move. He maybe cost us a run offensively and maybe defensively as well.
 
...

Back in the LF bleachers just in time to watch Gomes play d.
 
Fredi just doesn't use his head. He plays the game like it's checkers (thinking one move at a time -- living in the moment) instead of chess (thinking multiple moves ahead). No reason to pull Avilan -- now you have to pull Martin next inning since his spot is due up.

With Cunningham, you could've surprised them with a squeeze. We're likely only getting one run out of that inning if we scored at all with Betancourt and someone like Gomes pinch hitting for the pitcher. As I type this, Gomes gives up 2 bags. Fredi looks clueless.
