Maybe a real dive gets it pansy

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Bloops are going their way

 

[bravesnumberone]

Even if BJ caught that like any good CF would, he still wouldn't have thrown him out.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Look Trout does what a good player is supposed to do. Justin Upton take notice.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Oh well. Doesn't matter anymore, but I'm glad Fredi's used up all our position players, including all three catchers. Broke one of his own rules.

 

[AerchAngel]

mercy killing is over.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Walk your stupid ass all the way Gwinnett.

 

[CJC]

I usually think blaming the manager in a close game is a cop-out, but this one was poorly managed today.

 

[jpack1]

Crusher. I wish they would fire Fredi right now. Just call down and fire him now. Why go to the pen now you fing moron. The game is over now. Man I hate that idiot.

 

[tvsportscaster]

So they turned an opportunity for a season defining win into another crappy loss.

He has helped cost us several. This is par for the course. I really don't even know why I'm that mad about it anymore.

 

[jpack1]

Hale kept us in there and gave us a chance to win. It's our stars that have let us down. Here's looking at you J Up and Kimbrel. This sucks.

 

[bravesnumberone]

At least the Nats lost.

 

[jpack1]

It's beyond stupid to burn Shae now. Beyond stupid.

 

[jpack1]

I have quit getting mad at games lately but this just sucks. I mean it was there on a silver platter and we just refused to win it. Just choked it away at every damn chance.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Angels did what a good team does in that situation. A mediocre team blows two chances to win it. That's the difference between a good team and the Braves.

 

[bravesnumberone]

It's beyond stupid to burn Shae now. Beyond stupid.

I'm guessing Hale's pitch count was too high for Fredi?

If it was, and we hadn't used Uggla earlier, I would have just had him pitch there.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Yeah it's pointless to get mad at this bunch anymore. This is what they are. A few have accepted that while a ton still are in denial.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

No blaming Fredi here. This is all on the guys for poor execution. Had opportunities.
