We need a new manager!!!

I gotta believe, if given the opportunity, Ron Washington would come to Atlanta. He and Chip Caray would set the world on fire.

Edit: Before you Fredi moles jump on me, I'm not suggesting Wash is necessarily better than Fredi. But he is more entertaining.

Doesn't matter, the Braves aren't going to be in the market for a new manager. People need to realize that.

I agree Fredi should have raised some hell on the check swings, and he should have PH for Medlen with Simmons on 2nd after Medlen showed he didn't "have it" last night. However, Fredi is not the reason the Braves lost. The Dodgers completely, and utterly, trounced the Braves last night in every facet of the game.

While I think Wren clearly bid against himself and overpaid for BJ, nobody could have predicted he would suck this badly. Players with elite skillsets like BJ (and make no mistake, he is still an elite specimen) don't just lose it at the age of 29....ever. Which is what makes BJ's 2013 so shocking.

I'm glad someone pointed this out. Simmons at 2nd with nobody out. Elliot and Medlen coming up. The play is to have Elliot bunt him over to get a runner to 3rd with less than two outs. Keep in mind Kershaw had just wild pitched Simmons to second. He was bouncing those curve balls in the ground in both starts. Even with the pitcher batting you still have a runner a 3rd with less than two outs. So many ways to score a run from 3rd with less than 2 outs. Maybe Mattingly plays the infield back with pitcher batting. Maybe Kershaw throws another one in the dirt. When you live and die by the homerun and you leave one of your better HR hitters off your playoff roster you have to manage differently. In a NL playoff series you can't miss an opportunity to have a runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs. Just a thought.
 
it'd be too much of a $$$ bidding war with the cubs/yankees.... but Joe Girardi is available.........
 
Joe Girardi?

Yeah pass.

He has a world series to his name, but he's also had the highest payroll since he came to the Yankees. They've choked in the playoffs under him outside the world series year just as bad as us.
 
Lol we should hire Dusty Baker to co-manage the team with Fredi. We'd be the only team in the league with two sub par hitting coaches and two complete morons as manager. Think of the comdeic gold we'd whitness every night.
