The top of the ninth is a perfect summation of Bobby's managing. First of all, why the f$%^ is Diory Hernandez on the postseason roster if he isn't going to be used as a defensive replacement - especially when you've got a guy who has been an absolute butcher out there? If he isn't going to be used, then why isn't Freeman on the roster instead?

Second, just because Dunn is a lefty, you don't automatically have to bring him in to face Huff. Try reading a freaking scouting report for Pete's sake. Kimbrel's stuff is way better than Dunn's so given Huff doesn't have any platoon split, that move is just stupid.

And Brian McCann, why, why, why, why allow Kimbrel to throw a slider to Sanchez?!?!?!? The guy had no prayer against 98+. Just absolutely no awareness at all to throw a slider there.

Doesnt matter. Season ends in game 4 vs Lincecum. Bobby can just run out of ATL and not have to worry about it anymore

If they won this game, it sure as heck would have mattered.

But I will agree it wouldn't have mattered for too long, because there is no way the Braves can beat the Phillies. It would have been an uphill battle with Chipper, Prado, Wagner, etc. but without them, not a chance.
