Dick Allen Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 2, 2012 -> 09:13 PM) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Be careful with Kotchmann, this is the kind of pitcher he can go yard against, despite his low average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Robin is playing with fire every time Ohman is on the mound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. 3 words is all he knows, but he know them well and the Braves are an offensive juggernaut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have no idea what Robin is doing with the bullpen tonight. Only thing that would make sense is if Thornton is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited May 3, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thornton has to be out, you don't use Reed here against a LHB in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that would make sense is if Thornton is out. Santiago threw over 30 pitches last night, so I am guessing he is being saved to close.

fathom Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Why was Ohman used at all let alone 1 and two thirds? Worst decision of the year for Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Dammit!! Just used Ohman way too long there and paid for it. Hannahan has been their RBI guy this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I figured when Walker left the lies about "lift and pull would stop", that was not his hitting philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
