After neither of them worked the game before.

Even Buck Showalter is laughing at the Braves.
On pitching Socolovich over Arodys Vizcaino and Dan Winkler:
“I’m staying away from Viz and Wink all day today. Just giving them a day. That’s looking ahead. That’s where they’d been warming up, was hot yesterday. Winkler had a tough inning the day before. We were going to stay away from both of them regardless today.”
Starter Brandon McCarthy:
On how he felt after sixth inning:
“Tired. There might’ve been a little more in there but humidity really does something to me. It’s a grind for me to get through it more so than other guys maybe. I came out there, especially after hitting in the fifth, then going right up in the sixth. A lot of quick innings. Gio (Gonzalez) was working really fast. You just start to lose your breath. Fortunately I was executing well. If I go back out I feel like I could’ve done well. But outside of that I don’t think it’s the wrong call there to take me out.”
Snit's statement is so full of shit. Winkler played a little catch in the pen on Friday, Viz never got up, and Viz has pitched 3 games in 17 days, throwing no more than 13 pitches in any of them, they weren't hot, and that tough inning on Thursday was a 1-2-3 frame with 2 strikeouts.
And McCarthy isn't going to throw his manager under the bus, but if what he says is true, it was mid 80's yesterday. If the heat and humidity is getting to him on a mild day for early June in Georgia, he needs to be traded now, because he's not gonna last when the dog days of summer set in, because yesterday was nothing compared to the 95 degree, 100% humidity that awaits here shortly.
