@DRLTMN@reach_baseball Overall he’s done a great job. Best game management I’ve witnessed for this team. But some nights, you need to let guys wear it and save your arms. You can’t have your top 3 RP’s having 75 appearances before October.
@JipperCones@reach_baseball Should have left him in longer. If you have to pitch Carrasco anyways, you might as well get all you can out of Holmes and save Iggy, even if you lose the game.
@DRLTMN@reach_baseball Not suggesting they pitch every night, actually. I was suggesting leaving Holmes in longer. But then you go and burn two innings of Iggy so now the pen is taxed starting on day two of a road trip. If you were gonna go to Carrasco, just let Holmes try to escape the inning.
@CJNitkowski@BravesClayton I’m just saying you could be more kind to dedicated fans. Like I said, several interactions I’ve seen have left me feeling uneasy. I understand defending yourself. But some things could be said a little more kindly.
If the Braves finish the month of May with a 10-game lead or more on the division, I’ll get someone 2 tickets for a game during the Blue Jays series (June 2-4).
Just like, RT, and follow 🫡
@BeaneaterB@bradypenn21@adalabraves He used a reliever, and that reliever could have gotten 6 outs and a win. When you’re 6 outs from a win and give it away for the sake of another game that you’re 27 outs away from winning, that’s insane.
@JustinPorupski 95 pitches-in Elder over fresh Martin Perez with a runner on in a one-run game? No brainer. Perez could have gone two. That one was predictable, just like him leaving Ritchie in with two on.
Well, there’s the second bad mismanagement by Walt this year. Bryce has no business throwing 100 pitches into the 8th, especially after giving up a double in the 8th.
Haven’t posted on social in quite some time but can’t stay quiet in this time of loss. I’m struggling to tell all what Bobby Cox meant to me and so many others in Braves Country.
He was the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves thru the yrs. I’m so sad today, but as I sit here watching my two youngest boys play in their championship games on the day he passed, I can’t help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout. ‘Come on kid, u got this!’
We are gonna miss him so much, but his legacy is forever cemented with the success of this franchise for the last 35+ yrs. He started it as GM, continued as manager, and passing the torch to others, the Atlanta Braves will continue to be force that Bobby Cox always wanted us to be. We love you Skipper. You were our rock. I love you more than words can express.
My boys won both of their games…..Bobby had a hand, I have no doubt!
