GDT: Braves @ Dodgers (NLDS Game 4, October 7, 2013)

Sickening way for the season to end. I feel terrible for Carpenter - he helped this team win many games this year, its just too bad he couldn't come through tonight. I am in full agreement with those that wanted Kimbrel for the 8th - this is the playoffs, not some game in August - gotta go with your best there and the Braves didnt

I was okay with Carpenter starting the 8th, but Fredi has to be freaking retarded to leave him in after that double. Once the winning run is at the plate, your best relief pitcher needs to be in there for as long as he can go.

If he gets out of it, then hell we could have pitched 3 different guys for 3 outs in the 9th if we had to against the bottom of their order.
 
The really depressing part of this is we are stuck with what we have. We're not firing Fredi even though we should, we're stuck with two albatross contracts in BJ and Uggla, we have two of the most talented players in baseball In Heyward and Justin that are complete wastes of talent.
 
Actually he didn't and it would be stupid to do so anyway. And why call a slider on a slider speed bat. Not smart in either case.

Bc Uribe chases everything. 2-2 with runner on second spin one in the dirt, good chance he swings. Instead he hangs it and puts it on a tee.

He called slider and set up low and away. Carpenter missed badly. You don't throw a slider up in the strike zone like that.
 
Well, I guess we'll all feel slightly better when Uribe and Puig get their 50 game suspensions next year.

You don't throw Uribe a slider period in that situation...the dude can not hit a fastball.

Speaking of which why doesn't everyone just throw Upton fastballs down the middle...he can't seem to hit them either.
