“Where does Fredi rank on a scale of 1-10 so far?”
I rank Fredi a 5 because his Lack of a running game is worst than Bobby’s and Last night he didn’t even have his players back on those F’d up calls behind the plate, Bobby would’ve been thrown out by the 7th inning
He has already made at least 5 dumb in game decisions on both sides of the ball that has cost us

“Jason in FL— Got to agree with Thawkin, 5 and sinking but has a nice MC— 8.5 there”

Fredi Didn’t have his players backs last night on those F’d up calls

Normally, I get bored with neutral commentators fawning over an opposing player. But not when it’s Albert Pujols. Man’s done it all already, done it legitimately, and he’s still only 31.

If uggla actually hit a double or HR with a guy on base in a close game, Id fall out of my chair. All we do is hit ground balls to 2nd when it counts.

Westbrook comes into today’s game with an ERA over 7.00….yet after 4 innings, we only have one FREAKING hit. Once again, we’re back to our way of making BUMS look like CY Young candidates.
And to think that I picked Chipper, McCann and Freeman to hit on my espn.com daily fantasy baseball contest. Chipper’s walk (1 point) is all I have to show for the 3 of them combined through 4 innings today.
Figures, lol. Why in the world did I think that 3 of our power left handed hitters would rake a BUM like Westbrook? I must be a big time MORON to hope for such a thing.
Oops, my bad. McCann hit a single in the bottom of the 4th. Wow, now I have 2 points combined from the three of them, lol!

Fredi didn’t wanna get thrown out of the game and have it make news.. In light of HIS pitching coach riding the pine at an undisclosed location. Some of you people really need to learn how to read between the lines.

From what I can see in the box scores, Beachy sacrificed the runners over and Prado proceed to hit a 2 run double. Nice going fellas. About time some fundamentals were exhibited on the field.
Hopefully Beachy can hold them down now that he’s up 2-0.

LAG……….perhaps the Braves offense read my 2:19pm post and decided to score a couple of runs.
The best thing about Beachy is that he throws strikes and goes after hitters. While he doesnt walk a lot of guys, he needs to learn how to go after hitters while keeping his pitch count down. If he can do that, we could have another Greg Maddux on our hands. Being able to go deep into games would really help save our bullpen.
Damn I wish I could see today’s game, lol!

I checked out Ochocinco’s tweets about being at the game today and it’s pretty cool. It looks like a Braves fan – season ticket holder tweeted Ocho and told him he should check out the game today. Ocho said he didn’t have a ticket, the kid responded and said he had one. So they exchanged cell phone numbers and are at the game together. That’s kinda cool….
