Fully rested pen, and snit brings in our worst pitcher to face their best hitter. I just can't get over how dumb that is. Like seriously, that is Fredi Gonzalez dumb

Another Hr off wisler. Seriously, snit needs to be in an old folks home. He's a DA
What was Snitker thinking?

Well it was nice to be in 1st place. One question I have is where is Flarehty. He was the hottest hitter on the team before the Bautista mistake now with us playing in Boston I thought he would be DH.
Sounds like we need bullpen help. We need to go out and get it.
It was just a stupid excuse for a stupid move. Biddle was in the game, and had only thrown 7 pitches (6 strikes). If snit had the sense to use baseball reference like me or half of mlb fans, he would have noticed that biddle's career splits are the following: vs rhb, .114/.205/.143 and vs lhb, .500/.550/.778. So the real question is why make a move in the first place? If snit is unable or unwilling to use basic info, he shouldn't be running an mlb team. Rant over... send wisler down, promote Evan Phillips (an actual reliever instead of another failed starter to try in the role) from Gwinnett (15 g, 13.32 k9, 3.33 b9, 53.1% gb, 1.48 era, 1.91 FIP), and get a win tonight... we need it badQuote:

Cost Atlanta that game 3 vs the giants and waisted hinske 's dramatic homer.
Well Newcomb just had his Tom Glavine moment. Thankfully he didn't give up any runs.
Just got home from fenway Park, watching my Red Sox win in convincing fashion (along with a Braves buddy of mine from Atlanta who's staying with me this weekend).
Red Sox are very good. Braves are a year away imoQuote:
