6/5/15: GDT - Pittsburgh Pirates @ Atlanta Braves

[stpeteirish]

Familiar script.

not really, the bullpen hasn't blown it.

Chip ... Kang Jung-ho is really not that hard to enunciate.

not really, the bullpen hasn't blown it.

But that's not the script of the past few days; rather, the starter struggles in mid-innings, letting the opposition back into the game, then the bullpen totally blows it.

 

[Braves1976]

Perez was just too wild tonight for some reason, but he had a nice finish after the three-run bomb. Oh well.

Braves pitchers have really struggled with control this past week while doing, generally, pretty well with the other facets of pitching.

But the regression monster always catches up to those of whom walk.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Over. In.

"I love these high ... ... -resolution cameras." -- Nice, Chip.

For some reason? He's been wild since he's been in the majors. The difference tonight was tonight somebody finally got a hit off him after the walks.

I like him, but he has to throw strikes. Ground all pitchers who can't throw strikes don't usually fair too well.

Uribe was out, but Pitt has no challenge. Take advantage.

I never said he hadn't been wild at times. The difference is he kept walking the leadoff man inning after inning and five batters overall and obviously the three run homer too. Tonight he was wild pretty much all night instead of just at certain points.

Another instance of Fredi not knowing how to work the bullpen. Does he ever think of extra innings?

 

[jpx7]

What the ****, Fredi? Seriously, to what in the hell end is he over-managing this game?

 

[blueagleace1]

Fred's use of the bullpen is atrocious.

 

[Garmel]

If I see Gomes pinch hit for Cunningham again I'm going to kneecap someone.

 

[Braves1976]

I hope you kneecap Fredi if you must kneecap someone.

Relievers are like timeouts: you can't just stash them for later innings. You gotta use 'em or lose 'em.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Great usage, Fredi.

 

[blueagleace1]

FIRE FREDI NOW.

 

[Braves1976]

LOL, Well done Fredi.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Chip is actually trying to convince us that Fredi is doing the right things....
