How the hell do you throw every damn pitch at the shoulders? You should be absolutely ashamed to be out there. You are paid triple digits to do ONE thing...THROW STRIKES! This team just doesn't have it. The moxy they played with last year. Offense is Terrible. Starting pitching isn't so bad the last couple of months. Bullpen is absolutely horrible. Just amazes me that bullpen was our strength last year and dumbass Liberty Media lets them all go. I am about as mad at an Atlanta Team as I've been since 28-3. I agree, and especially: "Offense is Terrible"

Isn't Matzek the guy that was out of baseball for quite sometime cuz he couldn't throw strikes? If so, it feels like he's reverting to is old self lately. He hasn't performed well when used on back to back days.. Which is why several commented how terribly unwise it was to use him yesterday when down by 10 runs. Players do the playing but you have to put them in the best position to do well and Snitker has been horrible at that. We've seen other teams leave one pitcher in to take one for the team and/or use position players to finish out blowout losses, but not Snit... he burns a regular reliever per inning and goes through the entire pen like normal.

Stop with the Liberty Media.. they do not run the team directly. They did not choose to let Duvall go and pay Smyly 11mm. No one chose to let Melancon go... he chose to go elsewhere despite the Braves making a higher offer.

This was Matzek's 3rd game in 4 days. Of course last night was the game he shouldn't have been used in, but after using him last night you can't use him again tonight.
It's just too amazing to see our idiot manager compound the vast number of problems we already have just because he's a moron.

Being a GA/ATL fan is so damn painful. Teams never have any real consistency, except to disappoint. Even the run of 14 straight division championshships only netted one World Series Championship, which helped rival fans ridicule us even more. Atl United win a championship and promptly sell off the best player that drove the team, let the HC go and brought in a HC with an entirely different style to become mediocre. Falcons love to show promise and then sputter. UGA loves to fall back on 1980, win 10-11 games a year, but can't ever finish off a season or beat Alabama.
GA/ATL team motto: Love to tease you, but never please you.

I never understood letting Duvall go. I at least understood what we were trying to do with Morton and Smyly. AA outsmarted himself. If you think about it, he knew that the beater was in a volatile relationship. I'm not saying I was against the signing, but I was surprised we did it.

He is... I mean just plain stupid. We didn't blast him using Matzek last night blindly, and we haven't been using hindsight to point out his terrible moves this year. This was about the 12th time this year one or more of us has called out a bad move the moment it was made, and long before we were proven correct.

I am so upset that I don't know whether to poop or go blind so I just closed one eye and farted.

I am not going to get too terribly mad about all of this... it's a bad year.. disappointing, but it was obvious around Memorial day that this was not our year. Everyone should be at least be at the reconstruction and working through stage of grief by now.
If a miracle happens then that would be great, but really for your own goods you should be getting close to acceptance and hope for next season.

I didn't hear what 92.9 said, but if they said that executives at Liberty Media chose to pay Smyly 11mm, chose to let Melancon go, chose not to re-sign Duvall; then yes I am saying they are wrong. They probably control a budget, but budget wasn't the issue. Allocating the budget and things out of the teams control like Melancon wanting to leave was the issue this year. Choosing to sign Ozuna to a big contract was the issue this year. Liberty Media made NONE of those decisions.

That is true, but one horrific reality is that Sargent Snitwit will still be calling the shots.
I have said all along he was that great cheerleader but we won in spite of his idiocy.....now we're seeing what happens when we have a less talented roster and the players aren't performing at the peak or somewhere near their peak abilities--the manager's idiocy comes to the forefront a lot more.

Absolutely true... but when folk talked about Snits lack of managerial acumen in prior season it was drowned out by a record driven by players having career years. Although it does need to be noted that AA did a horrible job this off season.
