why treat Bourn like he is Cy Young??? Just keep the ball outside the zone and take your chances with willie mays hayes
Bourn flies out to center. 1-1 after 7.
The 7th isn't going to your pen early... I agree that Homer is capable of going back out. But what about Cozart's ABs today or the offense besides JB and JV make you believe that this was the right play?
Homer has given you a great outing, no need to push him well over 100 pitches. Homer needed a positive start, you hit for him and he can't lose and he struck out Chipper to end the inning. If the PH gets a knock then he can win the game. Give your team a chance... Giving up the 2nd out limits their ability to score! Don't go all in on a 2 out hit, especially from a rookie that's looked rough at the plate tonight.
Nitpicking at its best.... Good start Homey
Not disagreeing. Captain Hook knew his stuff.
But there's also the issue of constantly using three or four relievers every game. And I think there is utility in letting Homer pitch seven good innings, although he didn't quite get there.
Maybe it's my adjustment to a team that doesn't score much. Maybe this kind of offense requires pitchers to be pulled down early so a pinch hitter can possibly plate a run.
Jonny Venters in to pitch
Great start by Bailey: 6.2IP, 6H, 1ER, 2BB, 3K.
Stubbs has had his average nosedive 30 points in about 3 days.
I predict that pitching this lefty reliever will hurt the Braves.
Managers don't get it. Votto hits lefties as well or better than righties.
Hinske stays in to play 1st, Jack Wilson in at short.
Infield hit for Stubbs.
Stubbs gets things started right.
