From Adam Rubin's blog: Before the game Manuel said Bobby Parnell now warrants a relief look with a lead, perhaps even with runners on base. Parnell has been eased into the bullpen in his two appearances so far. Manuel said he purposely lined up Parnell to face Jeff Francoeur on Saturday night because the Brave doesn’t walk much. Well Jerry sure used him today huh? **** Mandolph.
