David O'Brien @dobrienatl · 1h Replying to @dobrienatl #Braves officials -- Anthopoulos, Snitker, Kranitz -- and the pitchers themselves have talked about this complex scenario, they have spent more time, have far more insight into where each pitcher is healthwise, and have far more riding on the outcome of all this than you or I do.
David O'Brien @dobrienatl · 1h For those questioning not starting Sale on Friday, this isn't #Braves getting too cute by starting Soroka on the road in Game 3 of 2019 NLDS. Chris Sale is an assertive, aggressive veteran who knows his body and has let team officials know exactly when he thinks he should pitch.

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. Even during the World Series when we won he backed himself into a spot where he started Dylan Lee in one game and Tucker Davidson in another game, with Lee having pitched 2 innings in the big leagues and Davidson having pitched 22 big league innings. It’s always crap he does to himself to create problems. Usually our talent still overcomes his Snitgorance, but not always.

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. No mention of the fact we have the ability to use the best pitcher in baseball twice during this critical period but we’re only using him once. Slurp slurp slurp from O’Brien as usual. Fried’s already getting two extra days rest so his routine is already out of whack. The idea of waiting until we have an elimination game to use Sale may be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Especially when we have control, the ability to use him twice in this do or die stretch. How in the hell is it that nobody was able to grab Snitwit and shake him and yell “NO! NO! PLEASE GOD NO, DON’T LET THIS ASININE FOOL DO THIS!”

There’s exactly what I predicted, the old “we talked about it” bullcrap. If Sale is fine he wouldnt agree quietly, no one else in that group would either. It’s a line to try to cover Snitwit’s ass. He told them how it was going to be, they disagreed and he said well sorry that’s what we’re doing. It’s cool how Sale’s health may be at question, but if we face an elimination game all of a sudden his health is ok.

My bet is Sale would have pitched Friday and then said he could give them a few innings on Monday if needed. O'Brien has zero evidence what he claims is true.. it's just him doing what he always does.. slobbing the knob so as not to get the stink eye from Snit.

We can never apply logical thought when talking about Snitker, but logical thinking would be there HAS to be a problem with Sale's health. Even Snitker is not stupid enough to go down this road if Sale is ok.

"Alirght guys, we have possibly 7 games left in this season, with two chances to be eliminated. Once in the regular season and once in the Wild Card Series. Everybody in favor of using Chris Sale, the best pitcher in baseball this year, just once over that stretch, raise your hands."
Everybody raises their hands.
"Now everybody opposed, raise your hand."
No raised hands.
"Alright, it's unanimous, we'll only be using the best pitcher in baseball once."
Everybody cheers. Time to go tell all the suck up media folks whats going on so they quietly obey our commands and go try to hoodwink the ignorant fans.

Ok, but did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night? That would probably make things much easier but I'm too cheap to do that. Instead I spend hours analyzing endless amounts of data trying to make some sense of mother nature.

This thing that Sale will start when the Braves are facing elimination is asinine even on the Snitker scale.
ANY loss the Braves have from here on out could be the one game that ultimately causes their elimination.
Fans should be rioting.
I thought I could never be shocked by the levels of Snitupidity, but I was wrong.
epic level stupidity.

I thought I could never be shocked by the levels of Snitupidity, but I was wrong. epic level stupidity. I only advocate violence in extreme cases, but the fact that buildings and cars aren’t being burned and Blooper isn’t being held hostage with demands for Snitker to be turned over and hanged in public proves just how milquetoastian our sheeple fan base really is. Even if we get burned to the max by this and we can clearly point to it being the reason we lost after all is said and done, it will still be swept under the rug with the claim everybody went along quietly with the most ridiculous plan in the history of baseball.

There's at least 8 different reasons why not using Sale tonight is the stupidest thing in the history of mankind, but consider this--if we lose tonight and both Arizona and the Mutts win, then Saturday still wouldn't be an elimination game (as far as I know, I have not tried to keep track of tiebreakers). So we could be in a really bad spot when we wake up Saturday morning, and have the Skipper still not using Sale on Saturday. Didn't he say he'd wait until we faced an elimination game? And even if we did use him Saturday he's still already out of the WC series unless he goes on short rest.
Pure genius.

Any game that Sale pitches is only going to count as one win, no matter what day it is. Having him win on Saturday, or Sunday, or Monday gives us zero advantage. So why not have him get his win on Friday and then able to pitch game 2 of the WC series?
Again, he HAS to have some kind of health issue.

I'm going Sale and Fried and taking stock of where we are after those 2 games. If we're even or 1 game up on either team I'm pitching Morton on Sunday (he's gonna have to pitch either Sunday or Monday anyways). That scenario leaves Lopez and SBach for the DH on Monday (maybe we only play 1 Sunday and one is available for Tuesday).
I we are 1-3 games behind I'm pitching Lopez or SBach Sunday. Thia scenario still leaves Lopez or SBach, whoever doesn't pitch Sunday, and Morton to pitch Monday if we are still alive.
For me Sunday is the key decision for a starter. If we're still a game or more back then you have to pitch the better pitcher. If we're ahead we pitch Morton and hope for a win but you still have two better starters in line for Monday (you also get a pitcher call up for the DH Monday as it is a regular season DH) AND if you make the WC you'll have Sale for game 2 Wednesday and Fried for a possible game 3 Thursday.
Starting Sale Friday and Fried Saturday gives us the best chance for a better scenario Sunday and Monday and a better chance that we only have to play 1 game Monday leaving a legitimate starter for Tuesday. If we use up all the starters we are looking at calling someone up for the post season roster or a bullpen game for Tuesday. That is NOT a good position to be in since the BP will likely be severely depleted with 5 games in four days.
Anyhow, that's how I see it but I'm no Snitker so there's that.
