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

I don't even care if they roll with a twenty-three-man roster: just cut EY and Gomes.
 
But but but but Gomes is doing so much for our youngins!!!!!!!!!

Gomes is hitting .308 with a .890 OPS vs lefties. It's not his fault Fredi uses him too much, esp. vs righties. Gomes is a fine bench bat to start some games vs lefties and pinch hit. But you don't pinch hit him for a hot Cunningham in a 7-5 Braves game like crazy Fredi did.

when you are ahead you play run prevention not run scoring

That was partly my point, you must consider both the fact that Cunningham is great defensively in LF and Gomes is DH type bad, plus Cunningham being hot is another reason to keep him in there. It was a stupid move by a bad manager.
