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

Tonkin got us a couple outs and we pull him to save him for tomorrow. Maybe he is the relief ace and not the mopup guy?
 
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

Well I could have defended it but now Snit screwed it up again. Where was Hand earlier?
 
Completely agreed. This is fireable IMO. Whatever benefit he brings does not outweigh single-handedly throwing away a critical playoff game.

Nothing will happen…there will be some fluff pieces tomorrow about how the team is looking ahead to game 4 after tough loss. It will talk about how Morton‘s absence was the key blow, and that there were no good options available. There will be zero public pressure on Snit‘s dumb ass.
 
I am not throwing in the towel. Non zero chance the offense finds some life and we come back here and we could still get the next two.

But I am baffled that Tonkin was the go to. I just, can't imagine why he was the call here. I am not even mad, just baffled.

Not having a lefty up for Harper is equally egregious. This is the playoffs.
 
We aren’t watching the same game apparently. Nola is still making our lineup look like a little league team

I told you the other night we were done three or four. The Braves are a great organization but put them in a must-win and they fail. This year was predictable though with Strider and Fried the only legit SP on the active roster.
 
I always defended Snit because he clearly gets the player management part right and the thought was that the front office would insulate his strategic ineptitude in the playoffs. But this is a master class disaster.

AA and Terry need to have a real good long thought how to address this moving forward.
