Then what was Hale's purpose? I thought Wood was supposed to be situational lefty since Downs didn't get in.

Wood is the situational lefty, but would you trust David Hale over Alex Wood to bridge the gap to the late innings relief core? You guys blame Fredi for leaving Julio in there too long, god forbid Hale gets into any trouble and Fredi doesn't want to burn too many arms.

 

[Runnin]

Noooooo it must be Fredi's fault. He didn't tell them to pitch properly.

Doesn't a manager know you're supposed to win every game. Geez what an idiot.

 

[Dalyn]

Hale's purpose is, Maholm sucks and Freddy Garcia is the 4th starter.

Maholm has been great at home and great against lefties (home and away). Also great against first batters faced. Maholm should've been on the team, especially if you aren't going to use Hale.

You guys are bitching about Garcia and maybe he will stink, we don't know, but I can tell you one thing, he will not be in awe of the circumstances unlike Medlen and Teheran.

If this is all true about Hale, it was incredibly stupid to put him on the roster.

Well, if we don't rally, and Garcia doesn't put up a competent effort tomorrow, we'll be using him anyway with the season on the line. If you don't have enough confidence in someone to bridge the gap, don't put him on the roster.

Just not mentally tough enough for this. Been missing that for a long time.

We can debate roster moves all day, Fredi isn't the lone decision maker. I'm sure he had plenty of input from everyone and the coaching staff and Frank Wren. They all sat at a table and picked the likely roster scenarios.

Amazing how much a good team can suck in the postseason.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

We will see you tomorrow night.

 

[yeezus]

we're ****ed. they're crushing the ball, hanley is killing us. we can't hit anything deep or hard. we're done.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Wonderful play Heyward.

 

[Bdawg2309]

Lol

 

[Five]

This is hilarious, what the hell kind of defense......painful

 

[Braves1976]

Well, game over and likely series over. I took the Braves in four, I was wrong.

 

[The Tariff King]

Hanley is just owning us this series. Outrageous. Pulling his best Carlos Beltran impersonation.

 

[bravesnumberone]

And this is the difference. They hit mistakes and come through in these spots.

Exactly, but some people on here will lead you to believe otherwise.
