Great win
May 5th, 2012 at 10:47 am
i didnt like the double switch, but since heyward made the last out, and fredi wanted to leave o’flarety in there for a while, it made sense to take out heyward…sort of. i mean. you dont know how long that game was going to go, and fredi was able to preserve at least one arm by doing that.
of course, on the other side of the “you dont know how long the game will go” coin, diaz got 2 ABs in spots where heyward could have been swinging it. toss up, trade off, whatever.
i actually have to give fredi credit because i think his managing this year so far seems to be WAY better than last season. way better. the bullpen, even when to take out the starter, and late inning defense, lineup construction…everything.

Our pitchers are slow learners.
Is it just me, or is this mound really low compared to other parks?
May 5th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
Brian McCann is slow
May 5th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
really slow
May 5th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
are we seriously going to get beat my Moyer again? This is just silly.
May 5th, 2012 at 9:28 pm
I know that it was probably good thinking at the time, but now I’m questioning whether it was a wise move for Fredi to have Minor avoid his throwing session after Wednesday night’s game. Note to Fredi: have your young pitchers keep with their regular throwing routine before heading out to Colorado.
May 5th, 2012 at 10:06 pm
I like Chipper as the 2.
May 5th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
I think it was 2008 when I just stopped looking at any Philly deficit on the scoreboard with any hope because they’d just erase it every single time. I guess that’s us now. Wild.
Also, Chipper Jones: yeesh. May he live a thousand years and unretire as often as he likes. I’m done speaking ill of him.
May 5th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
I sure hope Prado’s not breathing on anybody. All we need is an flu epidemic.
May 5th, 2012 at 10:10 pm
@133
He’s exactly what the #2 hitter should be…….One of the best hitters in the lineup.
Common Sense
May 5th, 2012 at 10:14 pm
#136 he’s hitting with guys on base now that he’s not hitting behind Mac, Uggla, and Freeman.
May 5th, 2012 at 10:47 pm
Weird how that worked out again.
May 5th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
Is it possible to not win when Chipper is in the lineup?
May 5th, 2012 at 10:50 pm
Chipper is insane. In other news, I am not posting comments too quickly and STOP telling me what to do!
May 5th, 2012 at 11:06 pm
This is a very entertaining Braves team.
May 5th, 2012 at 11:14 pm
I appreciate the big comebacks, but hasn’t the starting pitching been awful lately?
May 5th, 2012 at 11:39 pm
You can always count on Curt to bring everyone down. But he does have a point.
May 5th, 2012 at 11:59 pm
@Curt
I’ll just write the bad starting pitching off to just a phase in a 162 game season.
May 6th, 2012 at 12:39 am
Curt, both starting and BP pitching were my main concern this year. I’m pretty happy with them compared to what I feared.
May 6th, 2012 at 2:23 am
fun game
BP looked ok in 8 and 9.
Livan ate all the balloons in town.
(somebody must have already said that…I’m slow)
May 6th, 2012 at 5:33 am
dunno if you all saw this, but catch this Grade AAA smack from Chipper after Moyer accused him of stealing signs…
“I don’t know what the problem was,” Jones said. “I was literally having a conversation with the shortstop when he stepped off and said that. I don’t know why he’s so paranoid. But to be honest with you, every pitch he throws is 78 [mph]. So it’s not like we really have to relay signs.”
May 6th, 2012 at 8:02 am
#147 – Will, just read that myself. I wasn’t watching the game but sounds hilarious. If that’s what it takes for a great comeback win…Go Braves!!
May 6th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
I think Bourn is going to have a career year. I don’t know how they are going to replace him next year. It seems like he is having for more and is more comfortable though than he was last year when he got traded here. Its too bad Boras is his agent…
May 6th, 2012 at 1:14 pm
DAP, Fredi does seem to be a little better. The mistakes he’s made seem to be the same ones that probably 90 percent of the managers in the game make this year. But he seems to be playing less “small ball,” which is always good.
