In a tie game leading off the 7th with a new reliever I may give the 3-0 and 3-1 take to Morel and Beckham. Everyone else can swing away on 3-1.

Especially with who was on the mound.

Be careful with Kotchmann, this is the kind of pitcher he can go yard against, despite his low average.

Robin is playing with fire every time Ohman is on the mound.

It'd be cool if Ohman could put up enough numbers that some stupid GM trades for him when the reliever market gets very seller-friendly like always.

 

Okay, that's crazy.

Ohman looks like he's out of gas.

Greg Walker has the Braves with a 12 spot against Halladay tonight. Great coach.

sweet mother of god

"Lift and pull! Lift and pull!" must work in the NL. It's the only three words Walker knows.

Robin is definitely a "sink or swim" kind of guy

That's right. 3 words is all he knows, but he know them well and the Braves are an offensive juggernaut.

I have no idea what Robin is doing with the bullpen tonight. Only thing that would make sense is if Thornton is out.

Greg Walker should be in the position coaches Hall of Fame in Galesburg, Illinois.

 

Especially because they're putting up those numbers against the vaunted Phillies, give him a gold watch.

Thornton has to be out, you don't use Reed here against a LHB in this situation.

Yeah, scoring now 13 runs against Roy Halladay is nothing. But credit Don Cooper for Phil Humber's perfect game against those hard hitting Mariners.

Santiago threw over 30 pitches last night, so I am guessing he is being saved to close.

8, but go ahead and keep rolling.

He's not out, he's the closer and Santiago isn't coming in when the game is this tight.

Well, Ventura completely s*** the bed here. If you're going to bring in Reed to face lefty, then have him face the struggling Kotchman. UGH!

Why was Ohman used at all let alone 1 and two thirds? Worst decision of the year for Robin.

Dammit!!

 

Just used Ohman way too long there and paid for it.

 

Hannahan has been their RBI guy this year.

I figured when Walker left the lies about "lift and pull would stop", that was not his hitting philosophy.

8 against Halladay, 5 off the bullpen. He keeps this up, he'll be the next Rudy Jaramillo.

I guess Ventura believes that a LOOGY can go 2 innings but Thornton can't face 4 batters. No excuse for this debacle by Ventura.

I am glad to see your dropped the earlier charade of not comparing Cooper and Walker.

His decisions in close games this year have been quite poor.
