Apparently the Braves are mad at Chipper for predicting a Dodgers series win. What a bunch of pansies, no wonder you lose. Why would you care what team a former player predicts to win?
I'm not sure why no player would catch him if anyone is entitled to their opinion it's chipper all he has done for this franchise and this is how he's repaid really? I said I like this teams attitude that they weren't going to be so buttoned up but really dissin chipper for his opinion. We may have burned a bridge with someone who had been a kinda braves ambassador and speaking just as one fan I'm sorry for chipper this is the logical extreme to getting offended over every perceived slight even if its real or not
What next do we spurn off glavine smoltz hank and bobby if they say something the players don't like toughen up and prove chipper wrong is how they should of taken it
I don't blame the team for being pissed at him. He hasn't had their backs all season. During in-game interviews early in the season, all he did was sing the Nationals' praises.
Honestly, me too. I'm surprised someone didn't raise their hand to catch Chipper. After everything he did. I don't personally like that he said what he did. But I'd sure as hell catch him so that he didn't feel completely slighted by the team and organization when he's championed the organization for 20 years. Not good handling by the guys or management.
Oh, and I was much more pissed with him for helping LaRoche as a batting coach. As the Nats were playing the Braves!!! With that, you're actively helping the other team beat your guys! Come on! Maybe help LaRoche after he left Atlanta. But not during the series with them.
We're coming across as cry babies not as a tough team not sure if that's the rep we want I understand the Gomez thing he was completely out of line the Fernandez thing was a lil out there but this takes the cake he's chipper freakin jones can't one person catch him huddy Mac somebody hell don't care if Eddie Perez caught him someone should realize what he is to this franchise
Chipper speaks his mind to the media he always has this is chipper being chipper what if bobby said the same thing would they have boycotted him too this is nuts
