“whether true or not, many blamed his decline on being overused as a young starter, and he is often mentioned by advocates of pitch counts and inning limits”
For all the hype on pitch counts–guys are still getting hurt and need TJ surgery or something else.
Look at Joba Chamberlain, even Strasburg, they were on pitch counts and in the end they needed surgery. Joba was on the strick Joba rule and what did that do for him?
There are other examples.

The philosphies and how the game is measured have changed so much even in the last 5 years, Nolie and you might be right.
There is a new generation of GM’s now, so the game as we know it now might have passed him by, but U cannot argue with the past successes.
Is he looking for a job now???/ Who really knows except for those on the inside. The Baltimore experience did not help.

“of course they are, it is not a guarantee, just gives somewhat better odds of lasting longer, that does mean it is worthless”
On pitch counts??? I cannot answer that, but Mitch Williams of MLB Network does not have a high regard for it. And he is a guy who did play the game.
Good question—I liked the way the game was when guys went 9 and pitched 280-300 IP a yr, but that was the game I was raised with.
When you have a 13 game winner (and a heck of a pitcher in Felix Hernandez) win a CY Young award, that does not register with me. And I thought he pitched great that yr, but 13-12 winning a CY Young, what is next, an 8-14 guy taking it?
What in the $#%& is this game comming to. Hey, 14-15 wins is the new 20. Sounds like regressive specialization to me.
Not saying these guys are not talented, its just a different game.

Actually, according to the Braves guide at the game, I think it said Hinske is the same size as Livan, listed as 6′2″ and 245 lbs. I would be in favor of firing Roger, I didn’t want him back after his spazz out anyway. How about Tommy Glavine for pitching coach? I can dream. I think Terry Francona would be awesome, the Sox were so stupid to let him go. That will never happen. Why would he come here? There’s not alot of talent. I still long for Omar to come back and we can give Uggla back to them. Omar is cheaper and better, plus more versatile.

erik, now we don’t know if those guys respect and like playing under Fredi. Even at my most frustrated I have never said that because there’s no possible way of knowing that. Unless somebody came forward or a few came and said to Dave or whoever that they’d rather play for somebody else, we will never know.
I do feel strongly that he’s in over his head when adversity hits. I mean, has this not been proven TWICE now in his year and a half as manager?

I know FREDI cannot be blamed for injuries and illness, only for PHing CHIPPER Wed night and meesing up the retro-active DL time, HOWEVER if the sweep continues today and tomorrow. Then STL comes in and sweeps us, That is 10 in a row and FREDI MUST GO, Lets not ruin the whole season, Promote BRUNDAGE As interim MGR We were 26-16 just a few days ago, lets salvage the season IF sweep by WAS and STL.

I don’t care how old he is, or if BRAVES have to put a wheelchair out by 3rd base for him. The BRAVES must offer CHIPPER a contact for next year. He is the bridge to the great years of the 90s and early 2000s. THIS CURRENT TEAM CANNOT WIN WITHOUT HIM. 19-5 when he started this year 7-19 without him. WITHOUT CHIPPER THE BRAVES ARE NOTHING.

Phil–your “maybe we bounce back” doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. You might not have quaffed the kool aid but seems you’re sipping it. I’m having some real doubts about fredi leading the team out of this crisis. Eight in a row is a problem, even with the injuries. We’re still above 500, but we’ve got weakness in the starting pitching that makes this a different situation than 2010. I hope fredi does something so that if and when they snap out of it, we can say that his managing had a positive effect. If the players get out of it on their own and we have a race down the stretch, we’ll be in a fix.
nolie

I think they would have to drop under 500, perhaps quite a bit under, before it is likely that Fredi will be fired. It is not the way the Braves do things, and it might violate their image of themselves as an organization if they are too quick on the gun. course that’s just a gut feeling, I have no proof

I witnessed the 30 pitch inning and the high fastball that Furcal parked in the right field seats….6-0 in the fourth, Tommy gone after a few defensive miscues–passed balls–the throw over that hit a Cardinal as Hinske searched in vain. Well it was nice to see the Memorial Day observance festivities and giving thanks to our armed services personnel–past and present. The game itself was a disappointment, not much enthusiasm barring the bottom fourth where flashes of hope until the shift on Hinske and the Cards’ Green robbed our guy of a sure hit…defender was 20-25 yards into RF–what a joke/not kosher to defend that way but it’s legal of course. Soon thereafter, it felt as though a black cloud was over the Ted and our Bravos went flat as a pancake–another painful loss this 8th straight, 9th–10th potential straight defeat will surely get the attention of owners Liberty Media and could lead to a call to Mr. Wren…in my view, ownership principals better get more involved since a drop in attendance is inevitable if consecutive losses become habitual.

We’ll never know what the top brass is thinking RIGHT NOW…..but I’m sure a few of them feel exactly the way some of us do. Bottom line should always be the way the team presents itself on the ball field and this team as of RIGHT NOW looks exactly like it did last September. Injuries are big, no argument there — but the level of professionalism on the field is poor. Every cognizant Braves fan who paid their hard-earned dollars to see any of the last 4 games had to walk away saying, “this team is a mess.”
GIven that, there still has to be a level of ethics and a plan that activates a managerial change should it be decided.
With what happened last season, I wouldn’t be surprised if the trigger is pulled back RIGHT NOW.

phil — I’m not panicking. But for goodness sake this is a very talented team that is 16 games UNDER .500 since Sept. 1 of last year.
We have a potentially very good player (Heyward) who’s digressed under the manager’s leadership — from the day Gonzalez took over he has screwed with Heyward without defining his true role.
We have a manager who can’t figure out how to use his bullpen — overuse or underuse.
He is EVEN KEEL which in most cases is good — but for some reason the team is MANIC — high highs and low lows. And for some reason this team gets way too caught up in its successes and when it fails, it pouts.
In my opinion the young guys are looking for a galvanizing leader. Not there.

Anyone thinking this is just an easily resolvable case of “dry eye” is probably not doing any eye surgery at Johns Hopkins. Anyone thinking a power hitter who was part of “The Era” is going to start getting better as he heads towards his mid 30’s is probaly a friend of Tony Larussa who believed Big Mac was clean. Anyone thinking any adult athlete over the age of 20 could be motivated by Fredi Gonzalez probably is a Ray Goff disciple and anyone who would not trade Heyward straight up for Mike Stanton(assuming the Marlins FO had gone insane) is probably still waiting for David Clyde to come around.

Chipper has played very well when healthy but not huge enough to explain the stark difference in records. Chipper is still on the bench a lot. What are your thoughts DOB in the lack of results without Chipper? — brian
While he obviously makes them a better team, and does provide some stabilizing presence particularly with the young players and pitchers, a lot of the record disparity is simply a product of coincidence and timing — i.e., they were playing great when he was healthy for long stretch, but if he was in the lineup the past week they probably wouldn’t have won more than one or two of those eight games they lost, because they’ve played badly and his mere presence or a couple of hits wouldn’t have made that huge a difference.
But there’s no doubt they are a significantly better team with him in the lineup. Just as they are with Bourn playing well, or Fredi before his eye problems, etc.

I don’t feel sorry for none of those players or coaches. Feel sorry for me.I have to be at the hell hole at 6:45 in the morning and hear the BS all day at work and try and do my job at the same time. I make pocket change to the rich athletes.

Ask The Lizard in Cincinnati how he felt without Chipper in the lineup last week.
Chipper scares the crap out of Baker.

CTB – I would venture a guess that we all make pocket change compared to the rich professional athletes.

it’s ok cab… anyways, I don’t think Hudson wants to leave, so I don’t see him going anywhere.
If it came down to us being sellers (and I don’t think this will happen), I think Bourn, Prado (unfortunately) and one Hanson/JJ/Hudson might get shopped, with Bourn being the most heavily shopped. However, we won’t need to worry about that, instead, we’ll be talking about what pitcher and bench piece we’ll be trading for.

I wish the Braves would look in to acquiring Carlos Lee. He would be a welcome sight for this offense, due to the fact he has only struck out 9 times in 44 games. He can play the corner outfield and can also spell Freeman at first some, especially while he’s battling through the eye problems.
