5-1-16 Braves at Cubs: Fredi Getting Creative With the Lineup Edition

[jpx7]

I will say—regardless of whether it works out—I have to commend Captain Crayola for going to his closer in the eighth here.

 

[USMA76]

The great JJ struck again

Add him to the list of people on our roster that need to just go away.

Few years too late

It seems like ever since the rumors of him being fired started he has been managing semi-competently.

 

[USMA76]

So...do we blow a three run eighth inning lead and lose yet another one? Boy, I hope not.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

This pen tho.

However, the double switch to get Castro in at SS should have been made at the beginning of the inning. There was no reason for Aybar to be out there after he hit in the 7th

This win will save Fredi for at least another week

Does it ever get warm in that dump of a city?

Not sure Georgians have a lot of room to call Chicago a "dump" ...

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Good lord.

 

[msstate7]

Good grief

 

[UNCBlue012]

Again, team is full of dinguses

Talk about "counting your chickens before they're hatched"--especially with this joke of a team.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Freaking idiots just don't care

 

[Garmel]

How many blown leads have we had this year? Geez

 

[UNCBlue012]

Now Viz is giving up runs left and right. By that I mean 2 total, but still.

 

[jpx7]

Freaking idiots just don't care

I think it's more that they're just not very good at bases balls.

 

[Enscheff]

The error is one thing, they happen. But why are they even throwing over vs a guy that has 4 SBs in the last 2 seasons? Why even make that throw? Zobrist wasn't going anywhere for crying out loud.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Two of our starters went toe to toe with the best team in the NL only for the pen to blow them. The future really is bright.
