GDT: 8-4-13 Braves at Phillies (Brooms Ready)

[The Tariff King]

So that's where MikeAdams has been. Not a Braves fan anymore since he works for the Phillies.

Its a no-brainer. The Braves are trying to win as many games now to rest up their guys as soon as possible. Nats lost today so winning tonight is important. Thats why Kimbrel is pitching.

It's a no brainer to pitch your best pitcher a third consecutive day in order to hold a 3 run lead?

 

[The Tariff King]

IF anyone has facebook, like the Atlanta Braves pages and Thanks Bobby! Page, and when the game is over they post a status about the win. If you don't mind plugging chopcountry I'd let Zito love you long time.

I'm getting ready now.

 

[mossy]

You guys will pick Fredi apart no matter what he does...even when winning...on the road...in August.

Yes. You need to make sure of the win. This ballpark some leads can evaporate quickly. You never know. You might not even need to use Kimbrel for the next week.

So again, why did Varvaro get up

Cause he didn't want to feel inadequate next to Wood.

In this park yes!

haha... ok. What if it was a 4 run lead?

 

[thethe]

Its a different situation because it gives you more time to get up Kimbrel if there is trouble. Like it or not this is how the game is managed.

 

[The Tariff King]

If Kimbrel blows this, I'm blaming Fredi for not putting in Varvaro.

 

[Jay212033]

haha... ok. What if it was a 4 run lead?

I still would.

lol. ok.

Just to make sure we're clear: 4 run lead - totally cool with using the 12th man. 3 run lead - GET THE CLOSER IN!!!!

 

[weso1]

I still would.

But what if a cop told you to roll down your window with a 4 run lead?

 

[sturg33]

If Kimbrel blows this, I'm blaming Fredi for not putting in Varvaro.

Well, luckily Kimbrel ain't blowing it. But it is stupid to use him a 3rd straight day to preserve a 3 run lead.

 

[thethe]

But what if a cop told you to roll down you window with a 4 run lead?

You're a coward!

 

[skidlee]

Their is nothing wrong with kimbrel going 3 in a row. Odds are he is a no go for tomorrow

 

[The Tariff King]

Never knew about Fredi's notebook.

Smarter chap than I thought.

 

[tiger2vette2]

Ten straight!

 

[Jay212033]

This is why you're the arm chair manager smh!

 

[sturg33]

Nonetheless - another great series and time to stomp the throats of Wash. Just won't have to Kimbrel to shut the door tomorrow if needed.
