6/8/15: GDT - San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves (Only one Upton starting)

[CyYoung31]

Are we over the "Cody Martin is good" thing yet? Sorry Dalyn

Starting to see why the Braves didn't protect him.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

I guess we will have a better pick next year.....silver linings...

Which high school pitcher do we draft?

 

[atl717]

Cody Martin is not good. He had a lot of fans here. I dont want Banuelos in the pen, I want him as a starter.

I guess having good stuff does matter no matter how good your control supposedly is.

 

[USMA76]

When we meltdown in extra innings, we really do it in style.

Why was Miller pulled in the 7th after only throwing 94 pitches???? I mean you try to give Fredi the benefit of the doubt with what he has to work with and he even say's "I'm still figuring out what works best as we struggle" but his decisions have been nothing short of atrocious. Simply pathetic.

 

[CyYoung31]

Do I want to stay for the ninth to see Kimbrel mow through our lineup?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Now avilan too. This BP man. Garbage.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I swear, I would DFA this entire bullpen and call up seven guys from Gwinnett and Mississippi at this point. How much worse can they be?

 

[chop2chip]

I remember this Avilan character from last year too.

The most frustrating thing is the ranting and raving about players who are not really doing anything. Like Jace Peterson. Like Cody Martin. Im fine with the rebuild. But people want to pretend we have found a bunch of answers after 60 games. We have a ton of holes.

Oh yea. And watch the Uptons celebrate as if they were ran out of town by abd angry mob.

Garbage just called...said he felt insulted.

Might not have to. Doesn't look like it's going to be a save situation.

Knowing what the bullpen's been like there was no point taking Shelby out.

Canmt wait until tomorrow to see how FG blew this game.

a) left Cunningham in as the only position player without a hit
b) used no one but JJ and Grilli yet ...
c) had Cody Martin (the version of Tommy La Stella) in a high "leverage situation" where he again got his tits lit

forum favorite didnt get a guy out in the 11th.
2 days ago it was terrible managing

sheeesh

my problem with this is there are knowledge able baseball fans here.
Knowledgeable baseball fans are not a lynch mob -- especially given the team

C'mon guys, up your game

What are you talking about? This team is literally a manager and a decent bullpen away from being in the division lead...

To be fair, Johnson and Grilli have been good this year.

 

[USMA76]

Whoa--we wouldn't have been able to pinch hit with Joey T. if we hadn't pulled Miller.
