GDT 8/28/22: Braves @ Cardinals - The Rubber Match

There are just certain basic rules a manager should not be able to F up

Using your best reliever in August in an 8-1 game is one of them. Using your worst reliever in a game down by 1 in August against the team your chasing is another. You just can’t make those types of mistakes. It’s almost every close game.

It’s just crazy that this team is so good they almost always seem to be in position to win but lose games in very direct ways because of bad managing.

It’s basic science. Pitching three days in a row is going to effect everything.
 
We have Fried, Wright, and Strider lined up against the Rockies. No excuse not to sweep and hope the Dodgers beat up on the Mets.

But I really detest the Cardinals.
 
This series loss is going to be hard to swallow for a couple of days going into a day off. Tuesday can't get here fast enough.
 
And the other silver lining - just heard this point on the radio- is the trip is 4-2, and the two stinging loses we know we shoulda won.
and we get a day off and then a week of Colorado and the fish in our park.
