3-2 pitch not close to Johnson. The pitches he threw to Freeman and Johnson he should have thrown to Gattis.

Get Clippard the heck out of there. Can't afford to give up any more runs.

If you take even a cursory look at the numbers, you know you don't use Clippard in this situation. It's an easy decision.

And he continues to struggle. Make a move Davey.

I don't ever want to see Clippard in a big-game situation again, that goofy goggled looking freak.

Problem is we don't have many better options. Offseason changes...

FP, is an idiot. Clippard ALWAYS pitches like this against the Braves.

Story of the season. Better than the crap teams, worse than the good ones.

Stammen was a better option. Honestly almost anybody was a better option. Clippard is awful against the Braves, especially with those hitters coming up.

I guess we are what our record is.

cmdterps44 · « **Reply #139:** September 17, 2013, 03:28:45 PM »

Welp, we have two innings to get runs... and by two innings I mean one inning because Kimbrel is going to destroy our souls.

nobleisthyname · « **Reply #140:** September 17, 2013, 03:29:14 PM »

Heart of the lineup coming up. Dammit they need to do something.

JanuaryHos · « **Reply #141:** September 17, 2013, 03:29:26 PM »

Tyler Clippard sucks so bad against the Barves. Might as well let him go pop their champagne for them. FUUUUUUCK!!!

They're already beaten. They go down 1-2-3 in the 8th and 9th.

Yep, they quit after the first inning.

Zimmerman: Mister Clutch

Now the frustration.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #147:** September 17, 2013, 03:34:17 PM »

Is this Craig Kimbrel or David Carpenter?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #148:** September 17, 2013, 03:34:42 PM »

We've played games like this all season vs Atlanta.

Zero runs after the first inning. And Storen and Clippard choke like usual.

Zimmerman: Mister Clutch

He's really been hammering HRs off the scrub call-ups of the league.
