The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[TBrown]

Because this is normal

Bobby was a gentleman and didn’t act like a wild animal.

Rather have my manager lose his ****ing mind like that than watch Fredi Gonzalez bend over, tip his hat, and call Sam Holbrook his daddy

That really is true. Bobby would scream and yell, but I don't ever remember seeing him act like he was going to get physical.

At least Joe Torre finally looked up it appears.

Unfortunately for Dave Martinez the inmates don’t run the asylum. Which is where he belongs

Just stop. It’s not even good trolling

I don't blame Martinez for going off they got hosed on that call

Absolutely not. And like I said, I’m sure the umpires were perfectly appropriate right before he got in their faces

I get the anger, but Martinez looked like an idiot.

The rules are the rules. And Dave Martinez just acted like a psychopath. Those are the facts

 

[zjcvols]

Sam Holbrook is a **** umpire. He has been forever. This is the second call he’s made for absolute zero reason in the postseason that makes me question the integrity of the game. And Davey was being perfectly reasonable before the umpire made a comment that made him unhinged. So no I don’t blame him.

 

[golfballs]

I’d just suggest the MLB consistently enforce the rules and not surprise people when the do it in the most meaningful situations.

Go Braves

Strasburg with a 1.47 ERA across 55 career postseason innings

Rendon

Rendon

5 years/100mil and a 50/50 battery profit share

 

[zjcvols]

Not that it will matter but odd time to pull him

Hell let him split it 50/50 with Strasburg

 

[TBrown]

Yeah.... prob give him a baserunner at least. Hell of a run. Hopefully last pitch as a Nat

So, according to Torre, the call at first wasn't really for being out of the lane, it was straight up interference. That makes the call worse IMO. Where is the runner supposed to be other than striding for the bag?

That’s because he was not out of the lane. There’s no explaining that call.

 

[TBrown]

As inexplicable as the infield fly call IMO
