Call out the guys instructing John and the players. Whining about Montoyo, gibby and now Schneider is just insanity.


Fans are always whining regardless. This is a losing battle. There isn't a single team in the league that has a Manager that isn't berated for "poor decisions"; even the ones managing teams competing for the World Series. You can test this yourself with Google.

Go read Yankees message boards. Or search "Alex Anthopolous" on Twitter to see what Braves fans have to say.

Schneider has an inordinate belief in his journeyman 5th starter.

Schneider has a name. The nameless analytics nerds do not. Part of Schneider's job is being the face of these decisions, rightly or wrongly.

If it makes you feel better about yourself, just read 'Schneider' as 'faceless analytics nerds who tell Schneider what to do' and take a deep breath.

Vlad running into incredibly stupid outs on plays right in front of him on a daily basis at this point.

Would have been nice to have hitters who hit the ball in the air that don't make incredibly stupid decisions on the basepaths for sure.

I literally have one eye open on ESPN game cast… But did I notice that Vlad made that out at third base with two outs? Like, that’s the level??

So, just to review. Vladimir Guerrero Junior has been up 2 times. And he is responsible for 4 outs. Including running into the 3rd out at 3rd base.

3rd out at 3rd base, yeah. On a play right in front of him that was obviously not even close to a guarantee (as shown by the fact that Houser beat him to the bag). Inexcusable mistake at this level and it cost them an AB with Barger with him at 2nd.

They may lose this game due to the throwaway lineup they put out but stuff like that isn't helping.

Lauer getting hit around while Houser dominating our weak lineup (when Vlad isn't running into benchable outs). Things are looking dire for the streak.

Did the high performance department really dictate that all of Springer, Clement and Kirk had to be benched on the same day?

Winning games will always come second to the high performance department.
