What's that, 6 of 7 games that we probably could of won? Thanks Fredi. And Frenchy. Idiots.

Wow, ump. You suck. Not as much as Fredi, though.

i thought so too but second look looks like he did - or close enough to get the call anyway

Ump had dinner reservations.

I agree with the announcers on the second look, that was close but not a swing. Ump was trigger happy IMO.

No doubt, the team’s performance in 2016 will play heavily in Gonzalez’s fate next October. But expectations vary wildly, depending on who’s talking. The company line is that the team might actually be better in 2016, even after trading all-world shortstop Andrelton Simmons to the Angels for Erick Aybar and pitching prospects. Schuerholz even went so far in early October as to predict “at least a .500 team.”
Many fans and observers, however, aren’t buying it, much to Coppolella’s displeasure. Many expect at least as bad a season as they witnessed in 2015, while some say 100 losses is not only possible but likely.
If that happens, it would seem to defy logic that a manager who oversaw back-to-back seasons of 90-plus losses, not to mention three collapses in five years, would be anointed the Chosen One to lead the team into a new stadium and new era in 2017.
But that’s where ol’ No. 6 could come into play, and we could soon learn the extent to which the Braves value the hall of famer’s opinion as they prepare for 2017.

When it's that close I don't think you can let the game end that way. If it's earlier in the game, okay. But with 2 outs in the 9th tying run in scoring position...? I think he just wanted to get out of here

To be fair to Chip, half the time he's watching the game via a reflection in a mirror.

If this team starts 0-10, there is no way you can rationalize keeping Fredi for another day. Horrible roster or not, this team should easily be 3-4 or better right now.
Freeman is awful.

Chacin was great tonight so good to see that, Garcia also good on his birthday too. Beckham was great on offense and defense and Kelly good job in 9th with the RBI double.

So NOW he uses Kelly Johnson. I'm usually slow on the trigger in the manager dismissal department, but this little escapade tonight seals it for me.
In the roster construction department, it's stupid to have either Stubbs or Francoeur on the team, but it's really stupid to have both of them on the team.
