We were due for some good fortune of our own.
Camargo getting alot of flack from Braves beat writers last night.
Unfortunately missed the game but caught a clip - are the beat writers disgusted with him missing the bag with his right foot when turning the double play?
He couldn't come up with sharp grounder when Martin was pitching which Duvall threw to the wrong bag. He was lucky he didn't get doubled up when Tejada fell over at second. He and Flowers were awful last night.
He had a clutch 3 run homer vs Marlins that Melancon promptly pissed away last week. He had a 10th inning homer vs Nats in June to win a game in Washington. It's easy to criticize these guys but when you play infrequently it's difficult to be consistent. Last year he was .270, 24 homers and 70+ RBI's was he not? I'm sure there are many teams who would covet that.
Flowers was terrible. I can’t believe he reached base on that little dribbler. My wife and I rewound it 3 times to figure out who screwed up.
Flowers should be cut. Camargo sucks in the field and with the bat. Useless. Give me Chuckie Clutch until we get Dansby back.
I think I forgot Flowers was 33 and when they showed that last night, I immediately wondered why he was still on the team.
I have no idea what, if any, decent catcher prospects are in the system but it seems like having them around McCann and learning from him would be more valuable than a catcher that can’t catch.
