GDT #15, 4/17/'14: Braves (Wood) vs Philthies (Burnett); Gattis day off

I don't care, Wood fcked himself. Get the bunt down and quit standing up there like a screwed pu$$y waving at the ball. No excuse in that piss poor AB.
 
This loss is on the manager in so many ways! Where do we start? Playing Hayward right now is stupid. Give the guy a day off or move him out of the leadoff spot. 2nd when its a 0-0 game that late in the game you have to score that run from 2nd. Letting Wood hit for himself there is one of the worst coaching moves ever. That guy has to be moved to 3rd. So I guess your leaving Wood in to give up the eventual winning run in the bottom of that inning. We will never win in the post season with him and I wish we could get someone in here that knows how to freaking manage.

Oh and last but not least he didn't play the hottest player in the world right now. UNREAL!!!

Just a question, how many runs do you get if you hit a homer? What about if there is a runner on base when you hit a homer?

You get 1 with a HR.

And 2 with a runner on base.

It's no lock Gattis hits a HR today.

Yes, we had 3 or 4 hits off Burnett.

It's hardly a lock he gets a hit/HR off Burnett.

It's a 162-game season, your catcher cant play every game.

Day game after night game, pretty easy decision to make.
 
Gattis has 5 homers in his last three games in Philly. It's crazy not to even give him an AB today, IMO. Fredi quoted Bobby Cox in not using Gattis today saying he's a weapon I can bring in at any time. What good is a weapon that you never use? Talk means nothing without action behind it.

Its no lock that Freeman gets a hit, but do you take your chances with him over a pitcher? Or Laird?

Freeman had runners on base and didnt score them, but Gattis would, got it.

If you're saying hit Gattis for Wood, sure.

Gattis has now rested in 3 of the last 5 days

We might not win in the postseason but its not because of Fredi.

Lineup is too flawed imo.
 
I just can't believe we couldn't get Gattis at least 1 AB in this ballpark. Just shocking.

Burnett didn't pitch the 8th or 9th, Gattis could've hit one of those innings. That's usually how it works for him (see last year).

Who do you hit him for, CJ?

Of course you probably hit for Wood but he was dealing.

Given that it was Laird at second and Wood due up, it's really a no brainer IMO you pinch run Schafer for Laird and pinch hit for Wood given his issues with bunting plus it being the 8th and needing that run.
 
We win 2/3 on the road and people somehow complain, unreal.

Apparently we should win every game.
