Hmmm. Right again. Should have walked Escobar too.
It’s not very often that you find a manager willing to give you the game. Thanks Ken

Hey PRYguy
Why was McCann on bench to begin with……………..
Coach ( Moon Pie, Anyone?)

Why have the Braves scored eight runs today? Because it took our brilliant manager seeing BACK TO BACK SHUT OUTS before he put Chipper back in the three hole where he belongs.
Why is Jeff Francoeur still in the line up? Because our BRILLIANT Manager still can’t get past his own flawed loyalty to his players.
Why did Tommy Hanson pitch today instead of Tommy Glavine? Money, undeniable talent and the unchecked EGO of Frank Wren.
Should the Braves win this game, our Braves will still be a game under .500 thanks to the INCOMPETENCE of both BOBBY COX and FRANK WREN.
I’m happy that the offense has picked up the pitching for a change. But BEAVIS ( BOBBY COX ) and BUTTHEAD ( FRANK WREN ) are holding this franchise hostage. One needs to retire and the other should be canned.

I’m with you pryguy. These knee-jerk “fans” are getting absurd with their bi-polar approach to baseball. Stay logical my friend.

Chance for the cycle or not, you don’t pitch to Chipper there. Not in a one-run game. Brewers made the absolute right baseball move.

I would rather have a right fielder who isnt exactly the greatest fielder in the world, yet hits in the clutch like Escobar does……than to have someone like Franceour, who can field his position, yet kills every rally with his lack of clutch hitting.

but yes….I give credit where credit is due..
This is the kind of game we need to win.
Cox did push all of the right buttons. When you win, everything is fine. When you push the buttons and they don’t work, then that’s when the 2nd guessing begins.
I’ve never said I don’t like Cox…I think he’s been a wonderful and exceptional ambassador for Braves baseball. People tends to forget, HE is the one who built the team of the 90’s that SCHEURHOLZ got credit for.
All I’m saying is his time has passed. That’s not meant as a criticism, that’s not to be appreciative of everything he’s done…
Kinda like a certain football coach at my alma mater!!!!!!!!

brewdawg, you’re right — as much as I, along with the braves fans at the stadium, hate it, you don’t pitch to chipper with 1st base open.
boog sciambi asked joe simpson if yunel should’ve stayed at first base in order to make the brewers pitch to chipper. what do you guys think? i say no — even though reaching second takes the bat out of chipper’s hands, you don’t just park it at first to give chipper a chance to hit a double. that’s not how the game is played.

Ha! Best line of the day, especially coming from you, numbletard. Bobby and Wren know more about baseball stats than any on this board, and I do seem to recall an interview with a Braves FO member who says that the Braves have their own internal stats that they create to evaluate players. Try again, dipsh!t.
