GDT: 23 Apr 18 @ 6:40 pm...Braves @ Reds...No Comargo :(

Freeman isn't bad either, he was just used to death.

Thats fair, i'd still expect AA to address the pen this winter with the money we'll have so the top guys arent burned out.

 

[Braves1976]

Thing is, Snitker has said dumb **** like "I don't think Rex Brothers needs to face only lefties". From that experience, I'd think he'd think similar with Peter Moylan.

Chuck Hernandez is legit trash.

Exactly.

Hernandez.

All the walks is getting on my damn nerves.

 

[auyushu]

Snit isnt the reason all of our relievers can't throw strikes.

Yep. Snitker has made consistently idiotic decisions with the bullpen all year long, but the walks thing is really out of his control. We have a whopping 2 relievers with walk rates under 14%, Winkler (10%, which is not good in and of itself) and Carle (6.5%). When you have exactly one reliever that doesn't walk the crap out of people there isn't much you can do. Beyond that, Carle and McCarthy (9.1%) are the only pitchers on the Braves entire staff with walk rates under 10%, it's freaking pathetic. Our pitching coach should be fired yesterday.

But I do agree having Sam start that last inning was idiotic. He didn’t have control to get the last out in the sixth. Completely fresh pen. Biddle should have started.

 

[TheBravos]

Culbertson needs to gooooooo....

 

[AerchAngel]

Snit being Snit.

Probably have a Crackerjack box and pulled a wish and see what he should do. I wish he pulled one that said, axe that piece of garbage pitching coach Hernandez.

 

[msstate7]

Culberson over camargo. Snit doing some strong moves tonight

 

[AerchAngel]

Culbertson needs to gooooooo....

Like 2 weeks ago.

 

[salmagundy]

As much as I've trashed Hernandez, and will continue to do so, I would like to know who is the BP coach?

You have to look at him as well as Hernandez. Hernandez is the top dog, but the BP coach must follow the leads of the PC.His input back to Hernandez and Snitckers is valuable. If he is not communicating the fitness of a reliever, that reliever might should not be used.

 

[Southcack77]

Culbertson needs to gooooooo....

Why Culberson in that spot?

oh my, can someone test Snit for Dementia?

 

[TheBravos]

Why Culberson in that spot?

Camargo looked great in his limited time. I just don’t get it.

 

[Garmel]

That’s the key. If we are using analytics, use them for the dang bullpen. No reason to play these silly matchups.

For an organization that is embracing analytics I still don't understand the everyday lineup. Seriously, who thinks having Nick bat 4th is a good idea?

 

[Braves1976]

Why Culberson in that spot?

i guess he is waving the white flag

 

[USMA76]

You know, I mocked the Mets and Phils for fattening their record against weak teams like the Reds. Karma sucks.

yea that too, may be effecting the pitches Freeman get to hit as well.

 

[Braves1976]

too bad Camargo didnt face this lefty...

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

I hope that when AA fires Snit and Hernandez this offseason that he keeps Seitzer on staff.
