TBD
Snit has probably decided to save Sale for Monday and Monday might not even come, and if it does and the Braves get in, he may even be ready to start a playoff game #3 that night not even happen.

TBD Snit has probably decided to save Sale for Monday and Monday might not even come, and if it does and the Braves get in, he may even be ready to start a playoff game #3 that night not even happen. He could even announce he's decided to shut him down to save him for 2025 opening day.
It's a really funky situation. I'm not sure there's even a right way to go about this. My instinct is to say we have to use Sale and Fried on Friday and Saturday and pray a lot. We can't eff around hoping certain things may happen.....in reality that's what we're doing either way, I just like the odds better of using them against KC and trying to play the odds we don't lose one or both of those games. A lot of stuff could go right, or wrong. It's a little scary knowing that our offense is going to have to do something, no matter how we go about it.

Whatever the Braves do, it will be a bonehead decision. I'm confident of that.

Updated information on Hurricane Helene can be found here and on the Forecasts page of my website. Concentric eye-walls indicate an eye-wall replacement is in process and will be a major factor in determining the ultimate strength and size of Helene.
GO BRAVES!!!

Mark Bowman @mlbbowman · 48m Braves are going Fried (Fri.), TBA, TBA for this weekend's series against KC . Snitker said Sale is fine when asked the past two days. The question is why push Sale back to Sat. or Sun. when knowing this means the WC series could end without him making a start. Waiting to hear.

Wait until he announces Luke will start game 1 of the WC series if we get in.

If Sale pitches Saturday and his velocity is normal somebody needs to have a pair and rake Sargent Dungbrains over the coals with the way he’s handled Sale in the last few weeks, starting with him totally missing both series against the Faillies, and only because poop head wanting to give Sale an extra days rest and threw everything out of whack. If Sale is fine there’s absolutely no reason to push him back another day now, he’s already had a couple extra days rest as it is. If we’re hiding a Sale injury, why? If he comes up lame on Saturday everyone will know right away, and likely our players already know, so what’s the purpose of even hiding it. If Sale really is fine Snit for brains has truly out done himself this time. He has the guy who’s been the best pitcher in baseball this year and keeps effing around with him for no reason other than he’s a moron.

During the last game’s broadcast, I was happy to hear CJ Nitkowski mention, while they were discussing Braves pitching, (paraphrasing) how much pitchers worked back in the day and that if they WERE resting pitchers more this year that it really didn’t work so what is the point? Makes sense. The genius is grasping for two in the bush while he’s about to fumble the bird in the hand.

I’d really like an answer to the simplest possible question:
If Sale is ok, what is the upside to not using him on Friday?
While risking us getting in the playoffs but losing the first two games of the WC series and not getting to use Sale at all in the playoffs? Would he pitch game two of the WC series on short rest? Why, when that’s so easily avoidable. Is there a thought of holding him back until Monday to try to help ensure we get in? There’s no good answer to using Sale once on normal rest as opposed to using him twice on normal rest in a 6 day possible season ending stretch. Especially when you have total control of that going into it.

I can already hear the morons answer, in a dismissive tone:
“Well, you know, we talked to Chris about it a few times, it’s been a long season, we just want to be safe, give him a few extra days.”
While the reality is the “talks” they had with Sale were him vehemently disagreeing and Snitwit dismissively telling him they had already decided this was what they were going to do.

Every season that moron gets to the end of the year and decides its time for some grade A managering. He can't help himself ever since his sycophant beat writers praised his masterful work in the WS when 3 replacement players were raking no matter where he put them.
Not having that luxury, he has since decided to brilliance all over the pitching staff.

Mark Bowman @mlbbowman · 4h Braves are literally going day-to-day based on their results and those of both the D-backs and Mets. So, we won't know Saturday's starter until Friday's games are complete. Tough situation. But with Fried, Sale, Lopez, Schwellenbach and Morton the Braves have good options. Quote
Mark Bowman @mlbbowman · 4h Sale will start whenever the Braves are facing elimination. Fried is going Friday because he's more of a creature of habit, who doesn't like too many extra days of rest. Reynaldo Lopez will be the wild card, who could be used at any point between Sat.-Mon.
