This team continues to prevent themselves from playing consistent winning baseball by making woeful and stupid mistakes. What a poorly coached baseball club.
Woah, I didn’t know shoes were edible. First thing chipper needs to do is get rid of that goofy haircut. You wanna stay as far away from anything Uggla-like.
Gonzalez is 2 for 4 with a run tonight. He is batting .273. Yes, one would like more patience, but that is decent offense for someone who is giving his defense at SS.
Crap. More of the same in a clutch situation from Gonzalez. The man literally swings at everthing in the ballpark. Everyone on this blog could induce an out from Gonzalez.
Meawhile, Chipper is 7 for his last 39 with exactly one run batted in in the last 10 games.
Time for one oh to step it up. Struggla gets closer and closer to lost cause territory. Somebody besides McCann has to start doing something. Prado is in a little bit of skid himself (9 for his last 39).
Worthy concern. I am with you. Like last year all the use that Venters receive will only have adverse effects in the second half, but his frequent use is largely influenced by the Brave ineptitude offensively, thus forcing Fredi to use his best relievers more frequently than anyone would like.
Well, he leads all relief pitchers in appearances and innings. I’m real worried that Fredi has now decided that he’s good for 2 innings, 2 out of every 3 or 4 games.
Give Venter a 2-day vacation to the resort of his choice. Get him out of town for a couple of days or Fredi will have thrw 35 pitches the next chance he has.
