Bobby Cox Shows Rust Tonight
Another sign it is time for Bobby Cox of the Atlanta Braves to hang up the coaching position in Hotlanta. After his starter Chuck James was getting knocked around, Cox decided to relieve him. However, there was 2 outs in the inning and the pitcher for San Francisco was at bat. The Braves manager brings in Tyler Yates, who is one of the better pitchers on the staff. He comes in to strike out the pitcher and ends the Giants half of the inning. The Braves then got a couple of men on in the next inning and was force to pinch hit for Tyler Yates and he was done for the game. So Cox wasted a pitcher for just one batter, when he could have left Chuck James in to get the pitcher out and pitch hit for him in the next inning. It’s just another sign to show that the Atlanta Braves are not making all the right decisions or even showing any signs of hunger for the post season. Good luck to the Phillies and Mets as they will be battling for the NL East this year. The Atlanta Braves and Bobby Cox aren’t willing to commit to playing good baseball right now and it’s going to show in the stats come late next month.
