Garrett made the right throw to second. He ain’t throwin’ Beltran out! But geez…..Garrett is slow as smoke off…. well you know. Gonna have to put Diaz in for defense in late innings if Garrett starts.

“Bobby Cox blew this game, his failure to understand when to take out his starter but this game in jeopardy, pure stupidity”
Thank you. If Cox knows what he is doing, it doesnt come down to a questionable call by an ump

Keylargo,
Of course I’m just looking for someone to blame. Has nothing to do with the fact that he’s hitting .242/.327/.400 with 14 K’s in 109 AB’s and has played p!ss-poor defense all season. Ya, you’re right though. I’m just a loser looking for someone to blame. He’s actually a very good player. I mean, good players put up that line all the time, right?

RobertThank you. If Cox knows what he is doing, it doesnt come down to a questionable call by an ump
Um, couldnt you also say if the closer knew what he was doing it wouldnt of came down to a questionable call by an ump. Why throw a breaking ball over the middle of the plate on an 0-2 count? Or why plunk a guy on a 0-2 count. It isnt always Bobby’s fault. Players got to perform.

The sheet wearers are out after Anderson again. There was no way to know if Anderson dives he comes up with ball or it gets by him. He went the safest play.Blame the pitching, blame Bobby for leaving in JJ, blame JJ for the pitches he made, blame the ump for not making the call on Beltran. But to try to blame Anderson shows how desperate you are to find something to blame him for.

Jeff Franceour has left 7 men on base in this game. He left those two on by swinging away at the first stupid pitch. What a shock.

Francoeur swings even when the pitcher throws to first base. His strike zone is the size of the center field score board.

sucks they called beltran safe. he was definitely out. the ball beat him there as well–the ump got over-excited, i suppose.
i’d have gone with soriano in that situation too. all those righties. why gonzo?
better yet, why BENNETT????

“It isnt always Bobby’s fault. Players got to perform”
Some days they perform, somed days they dont. It’s usually obvious quicly which it will be. It’s the manager’s job to notice immediately and act quickly. Cox does neither –
If the Braves lose this game, let it be noted that Cox kept guys in there who had shown they werent performing tonight – THAT”S his frickin job – using the pieces the best way he can – and THAT is what he is tiotaslly incaspable of doing -

Blogger you an idiot if u dont believe Garrett Anderson couldnt have made a better attempt at the ball. All he has to do is lunge a little more or maybe dive, and the game is fucin over. he has limited range and doesnt need to play everyday or even every other day. He doesnt even need to be on the team, brandon jones could fill his shoes with ease.
