Pena for La Stella worked there, not saying he gets that though. Terrible loss again. The use of Kimbrel so long yesterday is why Fredi used Varvaro two innings and so on today. That's how such effects not just one game but the following too.

That's called being a manager. Something he's just really not good at. Is what is it is at this point.
 
I wonder what's going through the minds of our upper management. Probably just a cat and mouse beating each other over the heads with clubs

Varvaro only pitched one inning, guy.

Funny how you blame Fredi for using Kimbrel for extended innings yesterday but wanted him to pitch 2 innings in Game 4 last year.

Irony.

This season is fading fast, and the time we have to start playing well is almost gone. If this team makes the playoffs it will either go on a hot streak or be embarrassed. Freddi needs to go this team is way too talented to be playing this badly. The offense needs to be rethought having a team full of free swingers has been shown to be idiotic. We are a team that prays for hot streaks because we do not have timely hitters. Funny that we where complaining about last years offense which was way better then this years version
 
It's like Fredi doesn't remember putting J Hey at lead off and J Up at 2 last year and this offense taking off.

We need

Heyward
TLS
J Up
FF
Gattis
CJ
Simmons
Another CF
P
 
This year as opposed to last year

- not running up pitch counts

- not walking

- striking out more

- horrible at getting runs in with less then two outs last year we where pretty good at that

- horrible at getting 2 out RBI hits

- to say that situational hitting hitting has been horrible is to underestimate how bad it's been. How many times this year have we had bases loaded and none out and not scored? That situation should be an automatic 1-2 runs

OK since you're apparently a bit slow (and possibly a bit blind) I'll help you out. Firstly, you're wrong about Varvaro as he gave up the homer in his second inning of work. Second, the Kimbrel issue had to do with leaving him in when his pitch count got up more than using him a second inning. And if you don't understand the difference between that do or die playoff game and yesterday, then you just need more help than I can give ya.
