It's really too bad he didn't hold a lifelong grudge against our organization after that.
Maybe he does hold a grudge and is exercising it now. Hmmm

"Oh.. complete confidence without a doubt. Closing is just like hitting. If you go 0-4 at the plate 3 games in a row and we come out with a win; that's all that really matters. You've done your job. You know the closer's not the only person who has some responsibility here... if we want to hold on and win games it's up to the other 8 guys and however many pitchers to get us to that 9th inning with at least a 2-3 run lead. I think when we've gone into the 9th up by 3, Smith has only blown 1 save and you don't get any better than that.

The Braves just have no answer for a backup catcher right now...maybe Langeliers eventually. It almost makes you wish they had Flowers back. Almost. I would be content with splitting the next eight games 4-4 and then clean up down the stretch.

d'Arnaud should have had his baby while he was out with the broken wrist.

Here's a blast from the past--I recall when this happened but I totally forgot it was us, and totally forgot it was Will Smith. He's such a vag. He admitted he put that pine tar on his arm in the bullpen while he was warming up and then just forgot to take it off, and then he kept yelling at our dugout for calling him on it. Captain Queef. It's really too bad he didn't hold a lifelong grudge against our organization after that.
What a jerkoff he is. Will Smith is the pitching version of that nightmare BJ Upton.

What.............an............idiot.
His actual words are even worse than HMF's mock quotes.
“I’ve got a lot of confidence in him, because he has got confidence in himself,” Snitker said.
That makes a grand total of two people on the planet that believe in him. He hung three breaking balls yesterday and got super lucky they missed each one.
Oh well, the playoffs are going to be fun when we're relying on Smith to close things out.
It is funny that Snitker chooses to cite numbers in this case, because he always ignores stats. We can all go by the eye test and see that Smith has no command and is getting hit hard every time he's out there.
I hate to say it, but I believe the Yankees, Giants, & Dodgers are about expose Will Smith's go to pitch, the hanging slider. Not that it'll matter. He's our closer & that cannot be changed.

Our 7, 8 and 9 hitters are abysmal!
Man, I'd rather see Joc than weak at best hitting Heredia.
