GDT 6/14/'14: Braves (Floyd) vs. Angels (Richards) 7:15 EST

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

I agree with that, however, for all those bitching about Fredi, he didn't strike out with the winning run on 2nd in the 9th and then hit into a double play. Or leave a small village on the basepaths like Justin Upton did. After they tied it in the 9th, they had numerous chances to win this one and didn't do it.

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.

I'm coming around on it, but since our division is a pile of ****, I still believe we can at least get to October.

There stars did what they are supposed to do. Ours let us down.

That is very true. Doesn't excuse the fact he put us in several horrible positions tonight. And has throughout the year.

 

[CJC]

Almost had the GF talked into going to this game after rafting the Ocoee.

Glad I'm not down there now. I'd be super upset.

 

[jpack1]

Execution was bad, yes. Also some bad moves by our fearless leader. A real bad combo.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Trout and Pujols went a combined 6-12 with 8 RBI. Those are their stars.

The Braves "stars" in Freeman and Justin are 1-11 with 1 RBI. 1-12 after Justin fails to get a hit.

Gonna be an accomplishment to finish over .500

Well to be fair, Trout is the best player in the game, and Pujols is a future HOFer.

 

[jpack1]

The team has got to win in spite of its manager, not because off him. He is a bad manager and the team will struggle to live up to its talent level as long as he is the head man.

 

[jpack1]

J Up trying to hit a 5 run hr with nobody on in a 3-1 count. That's losing ball folks.

How date you?!?!

They won 90 last year. Almost same team as last season. This is a 90 win team!

[bravesnumberone]

Justin 0-for-7, 3 Ks. Sun don't shine on the same dog's ass every day.

Yeah, cause fredi is suppressing this teams "talent".........

 

[bravesnumberone]

You know, I was ready to accept the 5-1 loss.

 

[jpack1]

This team does have talent. Not the most talented team in baseball but top 5-7 no doubt. But we are just not seeing it come through. We will go on a good run soon but Fredi is a poor manager. With our poor play this year coupled with our collapses coming down the stretch and in our brief postseasons it is pretty obvious.

 

[jpack1]

If you let BJ Upton bat 2nd for 2+ months while the whole time while not once having a 220+ batting average that qualifies you as a poor manager. It's mid June now.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

This team is the Cowboys of MLB. There is some talent but not nearly as much as they, or we even think. All talk and swagger but just can't back it up on field.
