Ok, Ok, no, sure.
GDT #15, 4/17/'14: Braves (Wood) vs Philthies (Burnett); Gattis day off

Ok, Ok, no, sure.
You try to win every game you can.
Shouldn't win every game, but putting your team in the best position to win is important, no?

This is the type of attitude from Fredi supporters
"We have a good record." Well, we could have a better one
"We won 2 of 3, why complain?" Because we could have 3 of 3.
Is that so hard to understand?
So, you wouldn't pinch hit for a guy that hasn't seen .200 in years?

But hey: only one run allowed over the past 18 innings.

But if you extend it to last 19 innings, we've scored 5 and given up only 1

Of course, but it's a marathon, not a sprint.
You dont play your players every game where they are worn down by August.

I never argued Gattis should of hit.

If we needed one run and had an opportunity to get it, he would have been criticized for leaving Teheran in

I don't really think one way or the other about Fredi, but putting the best lineup with all things considered on the field is important. Today he did not do that. Shouldn't be hard to understand, but one game you pick up now, is one game you don't in September. We could easily have one or two more wins (maybe, don't know the true owlcomes) but where Fredi could have improved our chances. That is really all you can ask, is put us in the best situation to win.
Last night the Braves had the lead, it wasn't 0-0. And also, a situation arised so it was logical to have him bunt.

Yes, over the course of a 162-game season, you'll have games like this.
I never said it's ok to win just 2, but in a 3-game series on the road, usually 2/3 is fine, a sweep is gravy.

So was it a correct decision to leave Wood in to bunt?

I think that's the best way to look at it.
Situations were different.

I supported leaving Teheran in, but he had a lead and you cannot forget how that top half of the 8th played out. Those are key differences to consider.

Correct me if i'm wrong but if Schafer is running for Laird, and you PH for BJ.
All we have in the outfield if JUp/JHey, no?
