Atlanta Braves Fan Confidence Poll

by gondeee on Jun 19, 2009 8:16 AM EDT

If it's Friday, then it's the Atlanta Braves fan confidence poll. This poll and therefore your confidence level should encompasses several areas of the team. These areas include, but are not limited to, the team’s ownership, current management, talent, minor-league system, and general playing ability on the field. The poll will stay open for 48 hours, and then the results will be posted and graphed against the previous weeks.

Poll

On a scale of 1-to-10, with 10 being "100 percent confident," and 1 being "no confidence at all," how confident are you in the Atlanta Braves organization?

Down to 3. I like the moves Wren has made since the season began but he’s taken too long to make them.

It’s been clear for over a month that Jeff Francoeur’s much touted new stance is a bust, but Bobby apparently is going to run him out there to play RF every game anyway and won’t even platoon him like he would almost any other player who struggled that badly. The only solution is to get him off the major league roster. That Wren hasn’t done that yet is baffling. The next 10 games could well determine the Braves’ season. It would have been nice to fix the offense before them. With the current roster and the way Bobby uses it, a 2-8 or 3-7 record over that span is a high probability which would mean the end of any serious shot at a playoff berth.

Then you also have Bobby using Gonzalez and Soriano in the 8th and 9th vs the Reds with a 7 run lead knowing that a very difficult series with Boston would follow. That would have been the perfect game to give them off and let Acosta, Medlen, and O’Flaherty pitch those innings. If these games vs Boston are close late, the team will likely sorely regret Bobby’s idiotic bullpen management. It’s time for him to retire.

"That would have been the perfect game to give them off and let Acosta, Medlen, and O’Flaherty pitch those innings."

Since last Saturday, the thre top guys had pitched 1.1 innings…COMBINED! Would you have also been the guy who complained if they came in tomorrow and blew a game because they weren’t sharp?

Remember, kids...don't ever let facts get in the way of your argument.

They may need to pitch every day for the next 10 games for the Braves to have a shot at making it through this interleague stretch with a winning record. Using them last night was senseless.
