And now it's a blowout.

Thanks, Freddi.

so how many games does fredi have to win to secure his spot in the new digs opening day?

 

[Chewbaccer]

I don't give a fuck if Jose Ramirez is out of options, I never want to see his ass in a Braves uniform again.

I hate it when guys that don't deserve to be on the big league club, but takes a roster spot away from a more deserving player just because he's out of options.

He's been in the minors long enough to be out of options for a reason, and there's a reason why Seattle was so willing to give him up for basically nothing.

Trash.

And it's moments like this that I really start questioning Freddi Gonzalez as our manager.

We were down by 1 run in the top of the 9th, and this is who you bring in?

If Grilli or Vizcaino gets hit around, so be it, but at least act like you're trying to win the game.

 

[Chewbaccer]

If there's any bright spots, we did start 5-0 last season and only manged 67 wins, and in 2012 we started 0-4, but got 94 wins.

Walked away to do something and come back to see a blowout. Good thing I left.

6 run grand slam??

 

[Chewbaccer]

I really want to hear Freddi's justification of using Ramirez in a huge spot like that.

 

[Chewbaccer]

When this offense manages 7 runs and we still lose, that's crushing.

I know we're not gonna have a great season, I just want to get that first win out of the way.

Well, there's really not much to be excited about after an 0-5 start, losing a promising middle reliever and having Inciarte on the DL already and now having to go on the road and face Scherzer, Straburg, Gonzalez and Roark with Norris, Chacin, Wisler and Teheran, but it is official that Mallex Smith has been called up, and will likely be in the lineup in center field tomorrow night.

 

[Golden Spur]

Geez, grim start. Playin' the Nats again tomorrow, maybe they'll do better on the road.

That's a weird injury Winkler incurred.

 

[tabascojet]

so what did freddi have to say about his moves?

 

[bamabear82]

 

[Chewbaccer]

Excited to finally see Mallex Smith play.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Some 2 out magic in the first inning to get an early 2-0 lead.

Let's see how we blow it in the late innings.
