GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

[brian22]

Terrible managing. Smith-Shawver, Yates, Minter, anyone.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Going to be a fun end to the season with Ranger Suarez and company shoving it up our ass and Strider wilting in Philly for the second year in a row.

 

[Deester11]

Ok..sitting back knowing Elder wasn't the answer..smdh. A few (enscheff off top) of us knew this scenario was viable. Not blaming injuries..but this was always inevitable. I love hindsight..but Damn!

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Very tough to win a series when you have 1.5 SP on your roster.

 

[zbhargrove]

I’m supportive of Snitker usually… that ****show was inexcusable

 

[Metaphysicist]

Luckily Nola is gonna be rusty after sitting on the bench that long.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Also don't understand why Morton was ever put on the IL.

 

[Hulavol]

You guys are unreal. We are down five to Nola who is gonna be gassed shortly - that lead is going to quickly evaporate.
Relax.

 

[chop2chip]

Not having a lefty ready to face Harper in that situation is criminal negligence. Oh man that was bad. Bad bad bad bad bad

 

[Buzzworm]

Glad to see Snit made the right move leaving Midder in for a second time through the order after he got into trouble and then brought in his white flag pitcher in Tonkin.
4D chess baby

Relax.

LOL

 

[chop2chip]

Hand should have started the game so that Elder would have only needed to face the top of the order once.

Can’t emphasize this enough

 

[zbhargrove]

If we're gonna use Tonkin now is the time.

Umm no… if you’re only down 3 and need one out in an important game, you don’t put in the worst pitcher on your roster. The epitome of dumb. There’s literally zero excuse or defense of that decision

 

[msstate7]

If I were the manager, I'd try to get back in this till the 6th. If we can't, use position players the rest of the way... their timing would be screwed facing strider tomorrow

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Pitching sucks but the reason the Braves are going to lose this series is because the offense has absolutely choked all over itself.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Rosario shouldn’t play meaningful time on a playoff team. This platoon crap needs to end. Find a legit LF next season.

 

[bravesnumberone]

If I were the manager, I'd try to get back in this till the 6th. If we can't, use position players the rest of the way... their timing would be screwed facing strider tomorrow

No it won't. They literally don't have to swing at a single pitch and can put bench guys in.

 

[Strike3urout]

No plan at the plate. No discipline. These guys look at if they’re facing Nola for the first time

 

[zbhargrove]

You guys are unreal. We are down five to Nola who is gonna be gassed shortly - that lead is going to quickly evaporate.
Relax.

We aren’t watching the same game apparently. Nola is still making our lineup look like a little league team

If you were the Braves manager, you would be the dumbest person in the world, Brian Snitker.
