Bobby Seems To Be Confused

One thing before I go:

Diaz, sporting a fresh haircut by Dolphin Stadium’s resident barber, continued his inexplicable mastery of Florida pitching with two homers and a double in the Braves’ badly needed 7-4 win against the Marlins on Wednesday night.

“I wish he had enough at-bats — he’d lead the league in hitting,” manager Bobby Cox said after his Braves came away with a 2-1 series win to salvage something from an otherwise disappointing road trip in which they lost six of 10 games.

You do know that you’re the one who has control over how many at-bats he gets . . . right, Bobby?? This is like saying, “too bad I cost him the batting title and the team a shitload of runs! C’est la vie!” I liked the platoon with Willie, I’m just sayin’. Weird quote.

Slightly related, for radio listeners: how great was Pete when Escobar got hit and Matty followed up with a homer and “fist pump” in the direction of Dontrelle? “It’s as if he’s saying, take that, for hitting my teammate!” Too cute, Pete.

Have a good Labor Day weekend, everyone . . . see you at the Mets series!

    If Matty doesn’t play this coming series for Willie, I won’t be surprised. Disappointed maybe, but not surprised. I don’t know what Bobby has against him playing everyday.

    like I said on talkingchop.com ……. I was at that 13-2 game.. Eddie and Moylan were making fun of Diaz’s hair. They were implying that his haircut was the reason for his 2 doubles and HR.

    This was before he hit his 4th hit which was blatantly an error on Uggla but was a hit according to the official scorer

    I feel sorry you were at those two games. Hopefully, you have a little profanity left in your system for your next post because after the way this team is playing, profanity is needed.
