Only partially Wren's fault. He built an awesome pitching staff. Problems were lots of injuries, and Fredi being the second-craptiest manager in baseball. But Wren does get the blame for B.J. Upton.
They have a lot of offensive problems:
- Chris Johnson had a terrible year.
- Simmons can't get on base.
- BJ Upton should be in AAA
And Gattis is a horrible catcher who ought to be DH'ng in the AL,
A team with Justin Upton, Freeman, and Heyward in the lineup (who all had good years), plus that bullpen and starting rotation, should have been much much better than 2 games under .500 with 5 to go. Maybe it's not Fredi's fault, but generally when teams underperform the manager gets the boot. Maybe Chipper is managing them next year.
