JFC!! Seriously? That looks like my sons pee wee team, except that they would have made the play. My son is the pitcher, of course. That's fucking ridiculous.

Bud Norris=worthless.

Get his ass out off of this roster and give it to a more deserving prospect.

This is entirely all on him. You don't walk back to back batters. You don't throw it away when you have an easy out at third and then hang one to Granderson with the bases loaded.

FUCK YOU BUD NORRIS.

Our bullpen has been used a lot lately, and the least he could do is hang around and go at least 6 innings, but no, he's gonna have well over 60 pitches after 2.

Hate to vent, but I hate it when there's dead weight taking up a spot on the 25 man roster.

Matt Wisler out pitches Kershaw yesterday, but gets no run support, then you back it up by walking the yard, not being able to make an easy throw to third and giving up a grand slam.

I hope you feel like the pile of dog shit that you are, Bud Norris.

This better be Norris's last start as a Brave.

He reminds me a lot of Mark Redmond during his very brief stint as a Braves starter.

Ha! I was just coming to post something like, is it too soon to DFA Norris and give someone else a chance ?


Great minds think alike :suds:

Aaron Blair is taking someone's rotation spot soon, I hope it's Norris's, but it'll likely be Perez's, but at least the team has won twice when Perez has pitched.

Got a couple runs back at least, but I don't think Norris has had a shut down inning all year.

Harvey has 2 strikeouts. Both of them are Nick Markakis. You can't take strike 3 in that situation. If it's close, you have to at least fight it off.

It's piss pouring rain at my house. I'm about an hour and a half north of Atlanta, wonder if it's all going north of the park or if there could be a weather delay.

Hard to laugh when you look at the ERA of our starters. Only WIsler and Chacin have been respectable, and Chacin hasn't had the workload of the others.

What do you know, a shut down inning, I didn't think Bud had it in him.

Still, I wouldn't be too upset if we did what Boston did with Sandoval and make up and injury and put him on the DL. I don't wish real injury on anyone, but I'm just looking for ways to get him off our roster.

Oh yes we can. We aren't supposed to be good whereas he is supposed to be one of the best in MLB. I will lol at him if I wanna :D

How does it feel to be Curtis Granderson's bitch, Bud Norris?

Yea, if we could NOT pitch to Granderson, that would be nice.

Gotta hand it to Grandy though. Both of his homers were no doubters, and he didn't stand and admire them.

But, for it's more like "If Bud Norris could be cut from the Braves immediately after the game, that would be great"
