The Braves magic number is 2. Basically we just cant get swept by the Phillies. I dont see SD sweeping the Giants especially with the way their offense has performed over the last few weeks. I am still not sold on the way that we have been playing since scoring 3 runs feels like winning the lottery most nights, but at the same time I have to give some credit where credit is due and the Braves do deserve some for sweeping the Marlins. It would have been very easy to just win 2/3 since that is the MO of the Braves over the last few years. We knew we had to sweep and we did.
I have to critisize Bobby Cox some here. Why the hell was McCann not in the lineup on Wednesday? I dont care that its a night then day game scenario. The game was at 4:30 and we had an off day the next day! Of course i write something about this on facebook and everyone informs me at David Ross hit 3 doubles. Big freaking deal. That doesnt mean anything. You cannot be results based. Heres a great example. I played basketball in High School and our coach had this drill we ran where we got points based on how good the shot was regardless of whether it went in or not. A layup was 9, open jumper 7, contested 5 and a terrible shot was a 1. Lets say you take a terrible shot and it goes in. Does it make it ok that it was a terrible shot just bc it went in? Hell no! Its still a terrible shot and only worth 1 point! Same scenario here. Just bc Ross hit 3 doubles doesnt mean not playing McCann was the right move. It wasnt. You cant honestly look a Braves fan in the face and say that starting Ross over McCann gave us the best chance to win. You would be laughed at. This is the kind of crap that no one says anything about. It doesnt seem like a big deal bc we won but it is. How many times this year and in years past has Bobby sat McCann every day game after a night game? Almost every single time. Basically McCann is making Chipper Jones money bc he only plays in 3/4 of the games. 126 out of 159 games McCann has started and to my knowledge has not been hurt all year. I get it. Catching can be grueling. The problem is the Braves cant afford to not have his bat in the lineup on a daily basis. Another thing I want to ask is give me reasons why Bobby Cox is a great manager? Dont mention stuff he did as a GM bc I have heard that argument before and that doesnt count towards anything he has done as a manager. I want to know why everyone considers him this great manager? Here is your chance.
