But Frank Wren should be fired after the game is over for blatant incompetence.

Hudson, still big time stopper in Braves rotation. LOL!!!!!!! This guy is too in consistent, just like all the braves starters. Once again a braves starter will not have a quality start, no wonder the braves are 15th out of 16 teams in the N.L. when it comes to quality starts. This is a .500 team with this weak pitching staff that Wren has put together. They need more than one starter to be competitive down the stretch. OOPS, i forgot, the brilliant G.M. already picked up one stud starter in Sheets. What a joke of a G.M. and what a joke of a franchise.
Hmmmm

I think Hudon is Hudson’s brother. They’re identical twins and I think he’s the reason for Huddy’s bad innings (locks him in the bathroom between innings or something …. thinks he can pitch, but he really can’t)

It seems about every other game there’s always 2-3 important “cogs” missing that really hurt this team. Some have been necessary and expected but some not so. (Freeman and McCann come to mind earlier) The only thing consistent about this team is the INCONSISTENCY!

Darkhorse

9:42 pm
Why did Wren bring up Boscan? Why not just have Diaz back-up at C until Mac gets back. This just about does it for me with Wren and small ball Fredi. Say what you want but Cox would have never ever played this game without a back-up SS. He would have made sure the GM had someone here. I thought that was one of the big advantages of having the AAA team at Gwinette. Easy to bring players back and forth. Big egg on Wren’s face.

The why hasn’t he, Brock? When is he going to pitch? Play catcher? Prado can play the corners. He does not have the range to play SS, but you can keep living in fantasyland.

If you have made a decision to start Sheets on Sunday, then you could drop a pitcher before this game started for a back up SS.

I used to back Wren 100%, but his activity in the offseason and during the season has been non existent. I told people before the season begun that we needed one more starter as we had a ton of unknowns in the rotation (JJ, Hanson’s injury, counting on Minor). We find ourselves still needing a starter with Beachy’s injury. I won’t even start on the disaster that is our bench. As you see today, if anybody goes down with an injury, we are in a s*** ton of trouble.
