I get it. Bradley was struggling with his control, load the bases, pretty much guaranteed he walks in the winning run.Did I miss something? Why the frack would you pitch to Freeman?
Today was a whole team effort. Brutal in every facet of the gameI get it. Bradley was struggling with his control, load the bases, pretty much guaranteed he walks in the winning run.
This was so brutal, I get wanting to rip Bell but the reality is the lineup failed in clutch situations.
True except the Pitching was outstanding.Today was a whole team effort. Brutal in every facet of the game
A-Rod complaining about bunts for six innings was nowhere near as bad as the actual game itself. I like baseball quite a lot and I don't ever want to watch something like that ever againI mean I don't totally disagree but he seemingly went on for about 6 innings about it. Move on after 1.
YesTrue except the Pitching was outstanding.

Hard to really put this on him. You should be able to only give up 1 run and not lose.When you have to rely on the likes of guys named Archie you may as well go home

They at least had hits and a walk.Suarez, Votto
True, but they also left a ton of men on baseThey at least had hits and a walk.
Where did I say I was happy ??Glad zeeman’s happy the reds lost.
Castillo definitely more of a wild card than Bauer this year, but he is certainly capable of shutting down the Braves. I have confidence he’ll pitch well enough at least, the issue is can they push any runs across the plate? They need to hit at least 6, imo.I'm not as confident going into today as I was going into yesterday. Castillo is great, but I doubt he's going to even come close to what Bauer did. He'll probably be touched up for 2 or 3 runs and I absolutely do not trust our offense to give him any support. Here's to hoping we get to see a healthy Gray at it tomorrow ?
Good point, seems like you are always miserable.Where did I say I was happy ??
Agreed, Luis should be able to give us a chance. Hard to keep that Braves lineup on zero like Bauer did though. They are too good. When Markakis is your 8-hole hitter, your lineup is stacked. We need 4-6 runs.Castillo definitely more of a wild card than Bauer this year, but he is certainly capable of shutting down the Braves.

It really shouldn't be asking a lot, but with how this lineup has done this year...Braves SP has been pretty good in limited action, but this is only his 7th big league start so hopefully he'll have some big stage jitters. Kinda like Cueto all those years ago.Castillo definitely more of a wild card than Bauer this year, but he is certainly capable of shutting down the Braves.
