I’ve met that lady, George.
Look, I know after a loss the Braves are the worst team in organized sports. I get that. But my gosh…the Braves lose 2 in a row and suddenly the earth is about to explode. Get a grip, people. And don’t let a baseball game control your lives.

What’s up Braves fans? I see you guys are getting the same taste of the Yankees my boys got last weekend. I saw Swisher did a litlle airplane thing or something rounding first after his homer last night. I haven’t read anything on here but was that an issue? I know they hit Andruw right after that. Swisher acted like a fool in the Mets series too. I’m sick of that guy riding the Yankee’s stars coat tails and acting like he’s right there with those HOF’ers. And then he excuses everything with his I’m just a cool dude everyman riding the wave act. Anyway, I guess my general dislike for that poser is showing.

What is Venters’ actual issue? Is it lack of movement or just not being able to hit his locations? According to Gameday (which sucks this season) it appears that his velocity is still there…

Frankie Wren….hey A hole….the question is, why was Venters pitching to A Rod?? It was pretty clear after his first two batters that he didn’t have it, so why let him pitch to a guy with over 600 HR’s with the bases loaded??? What about that can your small brain not grasp?

The Los Angeles Kings were 15-14-4 when they fired Terry Murray and replaced him with a tougher, more demanding coach — Darryl Sutter. Whether you like hockey or not you saw the results.
The Kings organization knew they had a much better team than the one that was performing on the ice. Early on they showed flashes of brilliance but they had ZERO consistency. The expected more and they weren’t getting it — thus they jettisoned the coach.
We’re going to find out a ton about the Braves’ expectations in the next week or so. This team has showed flashes of brilliance but they’ve also been the complete opposite. You can’t have a team this MANIC and hope they end on a positive all the way to a title. This team can’t even play .500 ball. It’s 1.000 or .000 and that’s on the coaching staff because they fail too recognize patterns — both in planning and mostly on the fly during games. Yeah, you can blame injuries but sending Medlen down and leaving your hind quarters exposed had nothing to do with injuries.
Gonzalez manages on hope and hypotheticals and it’s clear he OPENLY favors the vets. Good to see Minor make a statement and shove it right up Gonzalez’s rear end last night. Problem is, Gonzalez shoved it right back up Minor’s rear end. That was a HUGE game last night and Kimbrel can’t go out there for a 4-5 out save once in awhile IF the situation calls for it?
How can anyone associated with the Braves enjoy this roller coaster? I feel like I’m watching instructional ball sometimes — why the hell does EVERYONE need to play? Hypothetical coaching is just like gambling — and that’s a losing proposition.
BOTTOM LINE: We need an ass-kicker and see where it goes.

I still don’t see what Fredi did wrong leaving Venters in for this 3rd batter to face AROD.

And with EOF not available, who do you want to bring in to face AROD with the bases loaded?

For those of you asking why Venters pitched to A-Rod. I’ll give you the short answer. Cano. He’s the most dangerous hitter on that team. He was lurking in the on deck circle. Fredi made the right move based on what he had at his disposal. A-Rod is not as dangerous as Cano these days. The damage was done before A-Rod stepped in the box.

“N8 has sworn that he will not watch another game until Fredi is gone. No way we’ll be able to verify the truth of this, of course…”
Seriously. Not gonna waste my time. I have 3 kids playing on 4 baseball and softball teams. Games and practices most nights. Came home last night in time to watch the 7th and 8th innings. Didn’t watch the 9th inning.
Most nights I either choose to watch the games on the archive of the mlb.tv package or on the DVR if they are on ESPN or MLB network.
Not gonna go out of my way to watch them live and unless something worth fast-forwarding to happens. Not gonna waste my time. Too frustrating and not enjoyable.
I’ll still watch highlights and check the standings. Can’t help it. Plus with two boys ages 12 and 14 that have the mlb network on 24 hours a day, I won’t be able to avoid knowing what’s going on.
But until Fredi is gone. My interest in investing my time into watching this team has faded and won’t likely come back anytime soon.
Here are the things I looked forward to when watching the Braves.
Bourn stealing bases and getting on base (that’s still a viable option).
Chipper’s fairwell tour (lost it’s luster now that he can’t walk or contribute)
Beachy pitching (I might actually watch his starts on dvr if it is noted he pitched a good game)
Kimbrel is still fun to watch.
Venters isn’t the same and is dangerously close to slipping into Mark Wohlers territory (brutal).
Heyward seems to be worth watching (when he’s in the damn lineup).
Freeman’s eyes are robbing us of a good young player to watch
Mac is on the downside. Should trade him while the gettin is good.
But as long as Fredi is in charge, most nights are going to be painful to watch.
So, will I stop “following” the team? Unlikely.
Will I go out of my way to at least fastfoward through the games on dvr?
Unlikely. Not until Fredo is gone.

Phoenix–comments
Morning After” Facts:
1. Cory Gearrin is a high AAA pitcher. He proves time and again he’s not a major leaguer. [Frustrating, but he never stays up long enough to know. Failing is part of learning in MLB]
2. Brian McCann is on the downside of a good career. It’s time to look ahead. YOU KIDDING?
3. Braves roster is clogged with players who could not make any other ML roster. Jack Wilson, Livan Hernandez and Juan Francisco should be replaced immediately with players who might actually improve someday. [Wilson and Hernandez are at the end, no doubt. Francisco, it's too early to throw our money and trade away just yet.]
4. Anyone who’s expecting this team to finish above .500 needs to look closely at the roster, and the rest of the schedule. [I think the team will have a winning record. I think they're capable of making the wild card. It's not automatic, but predicting a losing season is just catastrophizing a couple of bad losses]
5. It’s great that Chipper can contribute a bloop single now and then on his farewell tour, but until Prado is the everyday 3rd baseman, and a decent hitting/fielding left fielder is found, we’re stuck. [I don't mind having Chipper Jones play for us. Geez]
6. Braves pitching is no longer elite. Oft-injured starters can’t go deep in games, and bullpen is Jekyll & Hyde. You never know what you’re getting. [this one is actually on target. Our pitching is "pretty good" and that's about it. It's really a shame to get such a great starting performance and bomb out at the end last night, but fact is our young guy gave us seven innings. If we;'re going to lose, I'd like to see Delgado and Minor pitch their way through a pressure situation a couple times. I'm fine with them carrying that weight. Let's don't give up so quickly. They'll never learn.]
7. Fredi is without question, one of the worst in-game managers in MLB. He’s outfoxed nightly. [extreme. Don''t like some of Fredi's calls, but holy moley, "worst in MLB"? Nightly? Over the top.]
8. The scoreboard operator should go ahead and put 0-2 up everytime Freeman comes to bat. [This is just ranting]
9. Heyward is not a platoon player. Start him every night, or shop him to someone who will. [I agree with this one. Don't take a top weapon out of the lineup]]
10. Any runs that Uggla drives in, are usually erased by the balls that scoot by him into RF. [this is off base. Uggla's doing well and I have no complaints]
And Fredi, Wren & the rest of the “brain trust” should be thankful that the AJC tosses softballs each post-game. The NY/Philly media would be relentless if their management was this inept.

Fredi said he was giving Minor a baserunner in the 8th (before taking him out). Why? That was due to be the fourth time through the Yankees’ order (not just any other team’s order). And Minor is a young pitcher and was approaching 100 pitches. He’s not a veteran like Sabathia that the Braves should be trying to stretch to get a complete game. If there is even a chance that you might take him out, why let him pitch until he gets a baserunner? This is the Yankees, not the Pirates.
Top of the order due up for the fourth time in the game with the starter nearing 100 pitches. That was the game there. Why not use Kimbrel there and use Durbin or someone to get three outs with hopefully a 3-run lead in the 9th? Oh, that’s right: THE SAVE RULE! God forbid anyone other than Kimbrel get a save.
Anyone who blames DOB for the way managers use their bullpens is misdirecting their anger. If DOB asks about using someone other than Venters or Fredi using Kimbrel, Fredi is probably going to say something like, “we have to save Kimbrel for a save.” If DOB asks why, Fredi is probably going to say something like, “because he’s our closer.” So why bother?
The issue with bullpen usage is much bigger than one member of the media. It’s going to take lots of convincing before all of baseball wises up. How long did it take for the save rule to become entrenched into the strategy of bullpen decisions? Probably at least 10-15 years. Right now we are just at the tip of the iceberg to reversing that. Only one or two managers, maybe, understand how the save rule can very well hinder a team’s chance to win. It’s going to take several years to undo the save rule’s influence on bullpen decisions.
N8
June 13th, 2012

On a side note, my dislike of Fredi as manager doesn’t mean I support the idiots who rag on DOB for “not asking the tough questions”.
Dude has a job to do and if he makes his job uncomfortable, then we lose this great blog. Which last time I checked allows guys like me to vent when I want and discuss it/argue with others.
Back off of DOB.
If you want “tough” questions asked of Fredi and the media to fuel his departure from the dugout, Schulz and Bradley are the guys to request this of. The columnists are the guys (along with radio hosts) who can fuel the “Fire Fredi” banter.
DOB is the blogmaster and beat writer who isn’t stupid enough to ruin his gig (which he has regardless of who manages or plays). The second he pisses somebody off, his access and information he is able to relay will be cut off.
But keep yelling at him if it makes you feel better.
Me? I’d rather focus my negativity on Fredi. Probably just as much of a waste of time. But for somebody to rag on DOB for this nonsense is well…..nonsense.

DOB: Yep. RT @mtucker927: @ajcbraves but if he kept Minor in & he blew it argument is “Great bullpen & Minor sux! Why didn’t he go to bullpen??
The best argument is to go with Kimbrel with the top of the order due up for the fourth time. If Kimbrel had blown it, you just tip your cap. We need more than just results-based analysis.

More truth in that statement than anything else said here today. It’s an unenviable situation. As you said, Cano is more dangerous these days, but with Rodriguez, you’re talking about the most Grand Slams by a player in the history of the game. That has to hold some significance here.

Did you watch Cano over the weekend against the Mets? He hit some bombs into the upper deck. He’s just hitting his stride now. Venters versus A-Rod and Cano or that rookie versus A-Rod and Cano? That’s a layup for a manager in my book.
I wouldn’t say Venters had nothing. He had a control issue but his stuff was still pretty good. He boxed himself in where he had to throw a strike and he threw too fat of one.
The Yankees roll that lineup around 3 to 4 times a game. They’re gonna get you at least once every night. That’s what $180 mil gives you.

Arkansas Transplant, just as big a deal as pitch count is letting a lineup see a pitcher the fourth time through, especially a lineup like the Yankees. But pitch counts matter as well, particularly for young pitchers. Minor isn’t a veteran. Teams didn’t start paying attention to pitch counts on a whim. There is a reason that pretty much every team in baseball monitors pitch count. Clearly there is evidence that throwing somewhere around 100 pitches, throwing when tired, can be harmful to a young pitcher’s arm. Even if your opinion is that it’s okay for anyone to throw 120 pitches in a game, that’s not at all supported by information that you can easily find online and it’s certainly not supported by the information that teams have.

Frankie Wren, there are, in fact, very nice parts of Jersey. I just don’t think njbraves lives in any of them.

Anders…nobody cares what you think. Your loser team will be in the basement soon enough.
Not true at all (the nobody cares part, at least).
Anders is a good dude.

Shaun, that’s a lot like say you should park your car 5 miles from your house and jog to and from it each day cause 90 percent of wrecks happen within 5 miles of your home. I did however say, if he was tiring that was a whole other subject but I guess you missed that statement. That aspect I can understand, but when someone has been dealing and shows no visible signs of struggling, then I doubt there’s much risk involve.. no more than starting someone on short rest. Although, Minor was not working on that.

Thats Hard to believe because so many people buy those stupid 5 and 20 game season ticket plans and try to sell half of them or just do go period
Those attendance numbers are misleading since so many online companies but them and then try to resell them

I’ve really missed out on something I suppose. I do not have any impulse to complain about the game last night. I was absent the last few innings any way, so I didn’t see Venters crumble. But whatever. I did enjoy watching a few episodes of Magnum PI.

Anders is a cool Mets fan. We go at each other, but the guy ain’t no dummy. He’s smarter then me.
