Fire Cox

I want Pendleton. And Blaine Boyer? Why does Bobby pitch him every game in a tight situation. Then ... he blows it. Bad managing, and, like usual ... not playing like there's no tomorrow.

Maybe our highest paid player (Mike "tender foot" Hampton) can go to work for the first time in three years. I mean what a freaking gutless chump. No heart whatsoever.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Figure it out on the road boys. That's all I got to say.

Where's blacktara? You would think he'd be all over this post.

I'll admit. I was prepared for a change to TP after this season, but now that Cox has signed that extension, I'll be behind him. After all, he is the 4th winningest manager of all time. He has proven himself.

I think it was Bravochick who came up with the idea, but I would love a split home/away manager. Let TP handle the road and Bobby can do the home games. That would make things better, in my opinion.

As much as I do love Bobby though, his late-inning managing isn't what it used to be. He's done a great job mixing and matching the bullpen from other standpoints, but I always cringe going into the 9th inning with a save opportunity (unless it was John Smoltz or Rafael Soriano when healthy). If its somebody else, watch out. The pressure builds on them -- Blaine Boyer and Manny Acosta especially.

Why not try Will Ohman as the closer for a while? I know he's a "lefty-specialist", but so is Royce Ring. Ohman's done a very good job as of late, and he's located his fastball well and gotten ahead of hitters. Until Mike Gonzalez comes back, I think Ohman should have the job hands down.

Lets go. Bring that stuff along and make those other ballparks home.

Go Braves!

When you think braves you think chipper and smoltz, but after that you have to be thinking cox right?

I'm willing to let him stay for his last seasons (they are numbered) and TP will get his shot soon.

About the recent late innings situations. Cox has had to deal with injuries and tight payrolls for a long time during the streak of 14 straight. I have faith in Bobby and expect that he will get the bullpen right on track.

Lets go braves

Fire Cox?  Really?  Bobby will never be fired and nor do I want him to be fired.  He's one the best managers in MLB history and he can stay as long as he wants (which I don't think is long anymore).

While, like most Braves fans, I'm furstrated by not having Hampton out there, you have to hand it to him.  He is trying.  He's also in the dugout every game.  He's not sitting at home just collecting a paycheck.  Maybe he can get healthy and get back out there this year, maybe not, but to call him gutless is unfair.
