Braves vs Nats

[hockeyfights]

Anyone watching this game? Nats have blown a 9-0 lead and now Strasburg gets a ND. Now it's up to Kimbrel to close out the game for the Braves.

Also, Chipper passed George Brett and is now #1 all-time in RBI's for primary 3rd basemen. No doubt he's a 1st ballot Hall of Famer.

Very rare Kimbrel blown save. Not sure what the Braves are going to do now if this game goes really long. They've used 3 of their middle-long relief guys after Big Red was knocked out early.

Let's see how Fredi can blow this one. Davey Johnson vs Fredi Gonzalez is a colossal mismatch.

And awesome to see for Chipper. Although it will only be his for another year or so once ARod logs more games at 3rd vs SS. Still impressive.

If this game goes really long, it's going to be interesting tomorrow with the day/night doubleheader. Braves might have to make a roster move tomorrow.

 

[craftysouthpaw]

They already get to add a 26th player due to the new rule about roster sizes for double headers. Hope that's enough!

And one run ain't enough with Durbin coming in. And why the hell would Fredi burn one of his last bench position players to come in and bunt? F'ing stupid. Couldn't Hudson do that? Or leave O'Flaherty in there and let him pitch the 11th? Even with righties starting the bottom half, I would much rather have him pitching than Durbin.

No idea, but at least the Braves have the lead now. Durbin sucks though, so I'm planning on getting pissed off.

Wow, nice play by Uggla. That was the craziest Braves game I've seen since probably the Brooks Conrad walk-off grand slam against the Reds a few years ago. This game should be one of the games of the year.

I'm eating crow as I type. Durbin > Mariano

Good call moron!

Good call moron!

Was the moron comment really necessary? I already replied with my figurative hat in my hands. More evidence why people get tired of forums.

Wow, blow a 9-0 lead with Stras on mound. Looks like he got rocked. Harper didn't do much. Mad Mox and JP can't be happy tonight.

 

[hockeyfights]

Drew Storen got rocked too. I think this was his 1st or 2nd appearance of the year?

 

[whackspacks]

Perhaps the greatest Braves game I have ever seen... And i haven't missed many since 1980.
Largest come back since 1987

HISTORIC!!! THE GREATEST BARVES GAME SINCE CHIPPER 4 HITS IN THE SAME GAME WHICH WILL NEVAR BE TOPPED!!!!

 

[Todd44]

If you're a Nats fan, it's definitely not up there for game of the year... sigh.

 

[Todd44]

This just proves that we need to make some minor moves at the break... top of the list would be a backup catcher. The wild pitch (which virtually any good catcher stops) in the ninth, passed ball in the 11th, were just brutal.
