Braves just made a quick call to their scouts at the Greinke game. “You guys can come on back. Can’t beat the lousy Cubs. No need to make a deal now.”

At least now we know what the Braves practice on their days off. They rehearse(and have it down to a T now) on how to let the other team come back and tie it up or go ahead after knotting the score.

And that solidifies another Monday loss. And with the pitchers we’ll be sending out in the next three games, it looks like we won’t have any trouble losing at least 3 of the 4 in this series.

Now Hanson is relaxed and making his pitches. The dude is a mental softy when things get tough, he isn’t capable of frontlining a rotation any time soon. I’d rather they deal this wimp than Delgado who at least shows no fear.

Nolie-”I don’t care how well he is pitching, you are taking a big chance leaving him in for the 7th”
My only guess at why he let him face the 4th guy while not getting any of the the 1st 3 out in the 7th was trying to get his guys to “work thru this stuff”. No other plausible explanation in my book knowing TH ’s M.O.

Fredi is the worst. It is the seventh and he let’s Hansen load the bases with no outs and leaves him in and three of those baserunners score with no outs still. Typical of his BAD managing.

There’s no other way around it: This team blows. They’ll still be three games over .500 after tonight, but the Braves are mediocre or below average in every area: rotation, bullpen, lineup, bench and team defense.
51-57 dating back to the start of last September. This mix of players and coaches has clearly run its course.
