GDT 9/21/13: Braves (Medlen) @ Cubs (Wood) 4:05 PM

[The Tariff King]

Come on bullpen... don't let us down now please. You've been our only constant all year.

 

[bravesnumberone]

WHY COULD WE NOT BRING IN KIMBREL...

**** THIS

 

[The Tariff King]

Fugg me. Sorry Kris.

 

[The Tariff King]

Downs has been pretty terrible since that fingering incident.

 

[Strike3urout]

WHY COULD WE NOT BRING IN KIMBREL...

**** THIS

Or...Carpenter?

 

[TURBO]

Nice piece of hitting by Rizzo

 

[bravesnumberone]

Sigh, the offense owes Medlen an apology, too. Again, it's what happens when you miss opportunity after opportunity.

 

[jsebe10]

And this why you don't play your struggling full ins and bat them back to back to back in a clinch game right there! 1 run. Rule of thumb for managers....YOU ALWAYS GIVE YOUR TEAM THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO WIN.

 

[Yogi44]

This is the reason you go with your best lineup possible until you clinch.

 

[jpack1]

Just hate when managers take out a guy pitching well. At 106 pitches. Your guy is dealing why go to somebody else.

 

[bravesnumberone]

NOW we bring in Carpenter.

 

[The Tariff King]

Ok I'm going to work now.

 

[bravesnumberone]

 

[The Tariff King]

Reminds me of early in the seasonw hen Medlen was dealing and offense was giving him -5 runs of support per game. Only difference is our bullpen ain't holdin' like they were before.

Exactly. And you know the idiot will let Laird leadoff too.

 

[rniki10]

We would have been better off just leaving Kris in the game. But hey, we have Laird, Uggla and BJ for the 9th.

Absolutely, when you fail to add in runs it puts increasing pressure on your pitchers. The Braves offense just didn't get the job done again. Seems like a broken record. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow is the day.

 

[Heyward]

Sigh, the offense owes Medlen an apology, too. Again, it's what happens when you miss opportunity after opportunity.

We had like 2 chances to score runs, last inning and the one where we had runners at 2nd-3rd, with one out and BJ stranded the bases loaded.

But that's what happens when you score 1 run, no margin for error.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Every single man in the lineup and relievers and Fredi for that matter need to apologize to Medlen right now.
