I do feel bad for Francoeur…he just can’t do anything right…whatever is the opposite of the Midas touch…he has…I seriously feel bad for him…now trade his sorry carcass, send him down, or simply put him on the bench…he has no right starting every day…how in the flying heck did Bobby bat him 5th last night?

Let moylan give it up and then EOF only throws to one batter. So we are going to use a pitcher for every out now. I think cox may be losing it.

Okay here’s where Bobby doesn’t get me…he leaves Moylan in there to give it up but puts Eric in there..he gets an out….but he takes him out….how does he know Bennett has it or not..? Which more than likely he doesn’t….more importantly if he subbed bennett so quick why not sub Eric?

Why Bennett? Is there some rule written somewhere that says reliever can only go one inning. Why not Soriano for 1.1 innings? I HATE Bobby’s use of the pen. God I wish he would retire “for the good of the team”. Even if Bennett gets the out here (doubtful) it’s a dumb move.
Frenchy is a complete joke.

here we go with the 3 pitchers to get 3 outs crap, he should have brought in Soriano to pitch the 7th and 8th everything would have been fine.

Bobby Cox should have taken Moylan out after 2 players reached safely. Again he was too slow to react.

This what we get for getting all excited and arrogant about having a lead…sure it was against the Pirates, but seems the Braves have found ways to rip out hearts the last few years. All kinds of ways they’ll find to lose games.

Moylan needs to be sent down. Bobby keeps sending him out there in the 7th, and he keeps getting rocked. Kawakami is denied the win.
It sickens me to keep seeing the obvious not being corrected. Franceour and Moylan need to go. The Braves have a chance to make a run this summer….and blind loyalty to 2 players who are not helping the Braves win is going to negate the positives that the Nate McLouth trade brought.
Moylan needs to either be relegated to long relief….or…sent down. I wouldnt totally give up on Moylan. After all, he is coming off elbow surgery and he has show flashes of his old self. However, he is just too inconsistent to keep putting out there in the 7th inning when the Braves have a lead.
However, Franceour needs to go because he simply does not have the ability to produce in the Majors. Seeing him labor and diving at that ball that McClutchen hit shows that he does not have any speed.

the second hit was a double down the line….that wouldn’t have been caught no way.
Now had Diaz not over slid 2nd…we’d be up 7-6. Had Bobby not left Moylan in there it’d be like 6-4.

cabravesfan Not sure if you could see it but the ball actually bounced right before it got to Mac- I think that was a bigger issue then where Mac was set up…

Escobar was going to go to second on the throw home but the throw was cut off and escobar strayed too far off first base and they threw behind him and got him out – 2 outs in the inning on the base paths by too overpaid idiots who have their heads up their butts.

Where is Medlen? Why not turn him into the 7th inning man? And if he uses minimal pitches, let him go two innings.
If guys just had to actually earn their jobs every spring, you wouldn’t have situations like Jeff Francoeur and Peter Moylan stinking up the joint.

Whether or not Moylan was pitching good or not you don’t just let a relief pitcher stay in and give up 3 runs….I mean we clearly saw Bennett and EOF warming up but then Moylan comes in…which means he didn’t warm up that long.

Moylan was good.
Key word there is was. He’s not that guy anymore and we all (hello Bobby and Frank) better realize it. All this sentimentalism for a guy who had one good season. Is the accent? Cause if he was American you guys would have be done with him already! And to think Glavine got no love here. Wow!

Don’t get why people are on Moylan but not on Chipper for continually letting the team down defensively late in games. He has cost this team 8-10 runs, and at least 3 games this year with his defense.

Just watched the replay of Jeff’s failing to catch what became a triple. Looked like he took a roundabout route. Hard play, but some rightfielders would have made it. Plus clearly Loafing Garrett cost a run with his saunter on the earlier triple. Two of our outfielders not only can not hit, they really can not field either.

Moylan would have been fine with 2-outs and no one on. He’s been having problems pitching from the stretch. You don’t have to go to the stretch if Chipper doesn’t commit that error. No idea how it isn’t an error yet.

It just seems really weird to take what was a burgeoning prospect in Kris Medlen and remove him from getting any experience-in either the majors or the minors. Bobby has a habit of calling people up in the pen and not using them (Stockman, anyone?). And I just don’t get it. Why stop his development just to have him sit out there and carry around children’s backpacks?

Typical of any mediocre ball team is there is always a breakdown somewhere. For the Braves, it is usually the offense. Tonight they got enough starting pitching, enough offense, but poor defense and sub par relief pitching. Meanwhile, the opposition now has been given a tremendous amount of confidence that might sustain them through this series.
