June 8, 200917 yr Author The Braves are trying to win games. If they don't think Glavine is good enough to be in their rotation, they should have released him and gave him a chance to hook on with another team. That was the right decision. It was the right decision to release him...I meant to say it wasn't the right way to handle it. I mean it was quite obvious to see they handled it pretty poorly.

June 8, 200917 yr Author How were they supposed to handle it? Better than they did....They admitted it was poorly handled and several writers and baseball analysts also agree that they were wrong in handling it the way they did.
June 8, 200917 yr Better than they did....They admitted it was poorly handled and several writers and baseball analysts also agree that they were wrong in handling it the way they did.How about some specifics? "Better than they did" isn't saying anything. And many others see the move as simply the way of doing business.
June 8, 200917 yr St. Louis did the same thing to Ozzie Smith Philly did the same thing to Steve Carlton Boston did the same thing to Dwight Evans It has happened before. It will happen again. Happening before also does not make it right. Some of the Braves players (Murphy was a beast) you mentioned in the other thread don't compare to Tom Glavine and his career so that to me was hard to understand! As for the great pitchers mentioned, those were completely different situations as I remember them!
June 9, 200917 yr The timing of the release is what is suspect. He is released after a scoreless 5 or 6 inning stint. This would probably be overlooked if it wasnt for a 300 game winner who won most of those for this organization. Did they make the right decision? Most likely yes. Should they have handled it differently by letting him go earlier? I can understand the debate.

Maybe we cannot argue the decision the Braves made, but we can argue how they handled it.
