Braves lose 4-2 F/13. Morales walk off 2 run HR off of Grilli.

[Nemesis21]

Grilli 2 saves 2 blown saves 6.94 ERA, Viz 3 saves 1 blown save 1.10 ERA. Viz should be the closer the rest of the season. But Fredi likely won't pull his head out of his ass to do that. Grilli and Johnson nearly have a combined ERA of 15.00.

Grilli's finished. It's a shame that he got hurt, because we could've gotten a decent prospect for him last year at the deadline.

[Nemesis21]

3-0 Pirates in the 1st.

Braves fired Fredi Gonzalez. Brian Snitker will take over as interim manager, and we probably have our sights set on Bud Black at the end of the season.

I really like Fredi...but this had to be done.

Completely. Necessary.

Let's see how the team responds now.

[Nemesis21]

Peace out! This was necessary. If I'm Eddie Perez, I quit and go work for another team. He should have been named interim. Leave Snitker at Gwinnett.






Get Bud Black this winter!

Agreed regarding Eddie. I'm sure he's already spoken with his agent!

An outsider mentioned that with so many youngsters coming up this season, that probably played a part in Snitker getting the nod this season. Who else is more equipped to deal with the headaches of dealing with young players than the AAA manager who does it year in/year out.

But I imagine Pendleton and Eddie Perez are both prepared to leave the organization at some point this year. The writing is on the wall.

Bowman said Perez will be heavily considered for the job next season.

I'd prefer Bud Black moving forward after this season. Hopefully he retains Eddie as bench coach, and retain Roger.

Smith is gonna be so good. 2 HR's today.

Definitely keep McDowell, without question.

Aaron Blair sent down to Gwinnett, after last night's horrible start. Gant called up.


Teheran with a 1.44 ERA in his past 5 starts, can we get the man some damn run support and a win?!

[Nemesis21]

1-0 Braves in the 3rd, Freeman RBI single.

[Nemesis21]

Flowers with a solo HR, 2-0 Braves in the 6th.

[ATL Boy]

Teheran 7.2 innings of shutout ball. His resurgence has been the best part of this season.

Vizcaino with a 4 out save for Snitker's first win (congratulations to him btw). That really reminded me of the time Fredi didn't put in Kimbrel for a 4 out save in game 4 of the Dodger series. If he does put him in, a World Series is maybe in the cards, we did the hard part against Kershaw!!

[HMFFL]

Well, let's see if we can get another win tonight.
I like our chances.

[Nemesis21]

2-0 Pirates in the 2nd. Seems like we are always trailing after the 1st inning.

[Nemesis21]

5-0 in the 4th. Man the Pirates really took it to Blair and Folty.
