Obviously those two days off really helped. He sure knows how to put players in the best position to succeed. The only hit? From the guy who played yesterday.

Obviously

Should Fredi pinch hit for Harang next inning? I vote no. Only 85 pitches. Need to get our money's worth and save our pen.

I agree. The bench guys played last night. They need rest.

 

[tvsportscaster]

If you add today's shutout, which they are well on their way, 6 of the Braves 9 losses would be via shutout.

 

[goldfly]

so, tonight is not going too well

 

[TURBO]

Seems like every batter is going the opposite way. Good approaches.

 

[nsacpi]

Why is Fredi pulling him?

He is having a bad day. Can we wait a few starts before declaring his career over?

I said if ....

 

[Braves1976]

Why is Fredi pulling him?

I'd left him in to rest the bullpen.

BTW, someone on here compared Harang to Lowe his last year and I agree. Lowe had a great first month plus with Cleveland his last year starting and then totally fell apart. I wouldn't be surprised if that or similar happened with Harang (if we give him enough starts to do so). That's why I am against trading Floyd and find talk of moving Wood to the bullpen a really bad idea at this point.

Why is Fredi pulling him?

Needs to get Varvaro and Schlosser some at bats, needs to see what they got.

ANd our batting coaches are still collecting (stealing) a paycheck for services they have not provided.

 

[nsacpi]

I'd left him in to rest the bullpen.

Me too. Wonder if Fredi will repeat his quote about wanting to save Harang for another 20 starts. That would be precious.

Not watching and just saw the score and thought my phone was frozen on last night's game. This series is going to simultaneously kill our ERA and run differential.

 

[bravesnumberone]

LOL the Braves be trolling. Finally a good at bat when down 9-0.

Otoh we are now outperforming our Pythagorean which confirms what a great season Fredi has been having.

 

[50PoundHead]

Squeeze play now!

 

[bravesnumberone]

A run, and it's 9-1.

As Bob Uecker once said..."I think I'll wet my pants."

 

[AerchAngel]

A pitcher showed up the whole team. LOL

 

[50PoundHead]

Hale executes the squeeze play to the OF. Well played young David!
