Braves

If hart doesn't have Martin in Gwinnett tomorrow, im losing faith in him or either hart is purposely giving fredi rope to hang himself. Martin vs jup and kemp is just ridiculously stupid. Avilan is better option and to hell with righty lefty

Moylan, aardsma, Ryan Kelly, and David carpenter are all better options than Cody Martin.

I'm willing to give cunniff and masset a few more opportunities, but Martin has to go and he has to go now

Minter had Tommy John surgery

Strange pick. He was projected in like the 12th round.

Watching our pen must have put hart in full panic mode.

@mlbbowman
Aardsma is set to become the 17th different reliever the #Braves have used this season. They used 15 relievers last year

Cody Martin gone.

I'll go ahead and get started early today. Fredi is starting Gomes vs shields (rhp). Gomes numbers vs rhp...
.164 avg .197 obp

And then there's Gomes' defense. Give terdo a shot, fredi.

My prediction = 0-4 with 3 k's

David O'Brien ?@DOBrienAJC 47m47 minutes ago
This is a sobering stat: #Braves have lost 7 games when leading after 6 innings. SEVEN.

Top of the 2nd...

Double into left field corner by Padres scores runner from 1st. Gomes took forever to get to ball and then crashed into wall before he got the ball to cut off man. Padres score 1-0. Gomes already coming into play

Another ball hit to left that Gomes can't get to. 3-0

Gomes strikes out on ball that landed 2 foot in front of home plate with runner at 2b. Hey shoeless, come tell me how smart fredi is for doing things like starting Gomes vs a good rhp

Gomes can't get to easy flyball. For those keeping score, that's 3 of the 4 Padres' runs that are directly attributed to Gomes' little league range. Way to be a complete f'n idiot, fredi

Gomes with some redemption. Rbi single to tie it.

Still think gomes' defense is way to questionable to start him esp vs rhp, but he got a big hit. Good for him

Haven't watched a pitch tonite...just got back from our game.

Keep in mind my "defending", if you want to call it that, of fredi is based on the suckiness of the pen. I have admitted numerous times that his thought process in games is head scratching.

Not once have you seen me clamoring for him to keep his job, I just feel he catches heat for some things that he shouldn't.

You love fredi, don't you? Haha

He catches grief for plenty he deserves too

No doubt.

I used to, mid 90s thru mid 2000s, watch or listen to every single game and my point of view at that time was a lot like yours. So I respect your passion and opinion. Since I've started my coaching career I don't get to watch near as much as I used to...but it has also allowed me to see things from a different view point. And I guess it is that that causes me to come off as a "coach defender", whether it be fredi or Cohen. I understand that SOMETIMES the obvious play to the fan isn't the rite play for your players in that specific situation. I also understand that when those decisions repeatedly don't work it rests at the foot of the head man. But nobody knows their players like a coach...nobody. And that fact plays big with me.

And as I type your boy comes thru with a missile! Grilli will have a shot a redemption it would appear.

As a coach, I'll let you make it for taking up for your brethren.

I called terdo though, didn't I? Haha

Very nice win. 3.1 scoreless innings from 5 different pitchers. Cunniff came in and got huge out. He's had 4 straight scoreless appearances. I really like cunniff and this he should get a look at the 8th inning.

2.5 out of 1st in east

12:15 AM
@KevinMcAlpin
#Braves offense has scored at least five runs in a single inning eight times this season (most in the NL)

Braxton Davidson (last 10 games)...

.333 avg (11-33) 6 bb 9 k

He's now up to...
.261 avg .402 obp .777 ops 4 hr 8 doubles


Hopefully he's figuring it out
