GDT: 6/22 Orioles @ Braves

[CJ9]

Snit pulling him now is the funniest part.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

A series of bad management moves- but why on earth replace the superior defender in Culberson with DS

Inning over or he doesn't even tag with Culberson in. But then Sam gave up a bunch of hits.

 

[TheBravos]

what happened is Winkler was already warmed up while the game was tied...i can't blame Snit for going with Winkler

That’s true. Who would have thought Winkler would have been hit like that. I would have brought in Viz at some point, but you know Snitker thought Winkler would right the ship.

 

[Southcack77]

I thoroughly disapprove of things that don’t work.

 

[striker42]

Freeman is a loser.

I do. You use your damn closer in the situation. It’s literally what they’re for and what they mentally prepare for.

 

[Julio3000]

Bottom Bombers.

...

 

[msstate7]

DFA Freeman please

I don't want to. I think he can be useful. The problem is snit thinks he's Andrew miller. I'd rather DFA snit and keep freeman

 

[UNCBlue012]

Well, at least we lost an easy win. Always fun!

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I am sorry but is not Freeman fault to come in with those players on base... The only person we have to blame is Snitker with his stupid moves...

It’s not just tonight. He’s stunk all season

 

[Garmel]

Like Enscheff said we need that 3rd lhp out of the pen.

 

[CyYoung31]

...

I'll take that as a nod of approval.

 

[nsacpi]

disagree...its a long season and a manager needs to be careful how often he has relievers warm up without using them...Snit has done well in this department and the pen will benefit from it down the stretch

 

[Southcack77]

I don't want to. I think he can be useful. The problem is snit thinks he's Andrew miller. I'd rather DFA snit and keep freeman

Brought in last lefty to face lefties after his best righty reliever got lit up by righties.

Questioning his bullpen management here basically boils down to ...but you didn’t bring in the “closer” who most folks have been killing all season.

 

[striker42]

Part of that 9th was terrible luck. There was an AWFUL call down the third base line and so many balls finding holes. The other part was a mix of Winkler having a bad night and the utter worthlessness of Freeman.

 

[Julio3000]

I'll take that as a nod of approval.

Telepathic.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Sounds like Chip was campaigning for the Braves to go after Britton. Can’t disagree

 

[TheBravos]

Not one of us would have thought they could score even one run on Winkler.

Snit’s fault is not in sending Winkler in, but not going to Viz as soon as Winkler looked shaky.

 

[UNCBlue012]

disagree...its a long season and a manager needs to be careful how often he has relievers warm up without using them...Snit has done well in this department and the pen will benefit from it down the stretch

Fine, I can deal with that logic, except you still need to use your closer for the role he’s designed to fill.

 

[nsacpi]

Like Enscheff said we need that 3rd lhp out of the pen.

specifically we need someone who is tough on lefty hitters...we have enough reverse split lefties in the pen
