Yea, but Smoltz will be going too....I wasn't a fan of using Backe in this game...stakes were too damn high and we blew it.
Backe is getting NO calls and his youthful aggression has worked against him. We need to make HUDSON WORK !!!! Quit swinging at his junk.....use up his arm. DD
I second that...what in the world was he thinkin? With the way Hudson is throwing, to give up a 4 spot on one swing is ridiculous. But thats what we get for throwing Backe in the biggest game of the year.
Bobby Cox said yesterday he doubts Smoltz will start a game 5 but he can maybe pitch a inning or 2. Ramirez or Thomson will most probley start.
All our young guys get burned by walks, Backe...Wandy...Astacio...all of them.... I wish our guys would show more patience and let them walk some of our guys.....use up Hudson's arm, he is working on short rest..... A grand slam...that SUCKS !!! DD
