re: *** 2023 Braves - World Series or Bust ***

A couple things here- It took a long time for him to give the game away, and in that time it became clear to everyone watching including Jansen himself that "everything was flat," and he had absolutely nothing. Snitker had time to make a move, and sat there paralyzed with stubborn what ? Loyalty ? Ignorance ? Fear ? Ineptitude ?

Iglesias will be with the Braves three more years- he is the future. What are we waiting on ?

I'm still fuming because you could feel that game slipping away last night, and somehow I knew Jansen was all the Birds needed to get the W.

Someone please help me... simply throw me a bone here- Why have the Braves used the least talented arm in the pen as the closer for what seems like years now ? It's maddening.

Modern baseball, and most definitely playoff baseball is all about shortening the game with the bullpen- if you cant close the door in the 9th I dunno what our goals are.

Snit has it all backwards. I would have Jansen pitching the 6th or seventh inning if the other teams bottom of order was up, and I'd have someone else in the pen at least playing long toss.

In critical high leverage games I'd go McHugh, Minter, Iglesias.

McHugh, Minter, and Iglesias can all miss bats.

Jansen has gained 20 pounds since the season started. His face is fat, and he looks like he is going to stroke out on the mound. No wonder he had to take some time off for heart issues.

At least next year the Will Smith and Jansen years long shite show is over, and Iglesias will be a big upgrade in the ninth.
