[Hangman]

Why is he still the closer? He has been god awful the past month or so.

 

[TheSaboteur]

5 out of his last 8 save opportunities have been blown? I have to imagine most closers don't survive that kind of streak.

 

[msgkings322]

Inconceivable.

The Casilla experiment is going through a rough patch.

Casilla maybe just isn't closer material. Not everyone is.

 

[Stokes1931]

I hope he does not blow this.

Ah ,the subtle but still effective double reverse jinx.

Dayum!

 

[mistgl]

I'm officially over Casilla

Um, I bet you can guess...












Spoiler alert: we have no other options.

 

[TheSaboteur]

I don't know what he did exactly, but definitely Whiteside's fault.

 

[ColinCoby]

On a positive note, Whiteside gets to bat.

 

[filosofy29]

Poor Casilla going through some trying times.

 

[Stokes1931]

"Nuke" Casilla.



This is a nefarious plot, though, for Casilla to allow the Braves to tie in the 10th, just to have their hearts broken in the 11th, by none other than ELI WHITESIDE!!!

Do I hear an "amen"?

 

[msgkings322]

The thing is, there's no sellers this trading period, and no closers worth anything, and we don't have anything to trade for one.

We have to pray to Jeebus that this turns out to be a rough patch we look back on and smile about, like Timmy's August 2010

Beat me to it.

Don't know if it's worth it giving up good prospects for a closer in a trade. I also don't see this team going very far in the playoffs (if they make it) with a stellar 'pen.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Did someone just say Brad Penny for closer?

The only real options out there are Street and Broxton.

 

[msgkings322]

That was pretty much the perfect Whiteside AB. He gets on by being hit with something hard thrown at him.

 

[ColinCoby]

You Can Only Hope To Contain Whiteside('s ability to get hit by a pitch)

 

[msgkings322]

You guys didn't think we were going to win the West by 6 games didja? It's coming down to the last week.

 

[SFAnthem]

Nice save.

Not nice enough..

That HR came right when I was thinking how much Casilla looks like Wayne Brady

 

[msgkings322]

Whiteside = spark plug!

Belt NEEDS TO SINGLE HIM HOME NOW. Seriously.

Rep!
