Ouch, what a lousy game.

When we failed to get a single run with runners on 2nd & 3rd and nobody out I knew we'd lose this one.

Back in 2nd place (unless the Phillies lose tonight)

Pretty pathetic performance. Let's bounce back tomorrow.

Bautista has to have snapped Sosa's record of being the shtiest player to ever hit 50+ HR. This guy was almost at -3 WAR following his age 28 season and went on a serious roid bender. Too bad him and his dealer had a falling out.

Now if only he would get Sosa's skin cream and look like a giant bottle of Pepto.

There was a reason no one signed him until recently. Smart move Braves...

Luiz Gohara will get the start this upcoming Wednesday!

So last night we couldn't score a single run against a pitcher who had given up more walks than strikeouts and tonight we can't score a single run against a pitcher who is 0-6 on the season. In fact, he's tossing a one-hitter against us. This is getting a little ridiculous. The last place Marlins are going to sweep us.

Say goodbye to first place.

Finally some runners in scoring position...with less than one out.

But good luck actually getting anyone home.

 

[Rabs]

Stop being so negative. We just tied it up.

 

[death2redemptions]

There ya go!!!! I wish Albies wouldn't have tried to take two but 3 runners crossed home plate nonetheless!

3-1 Braves

Shutdown inning Nuke'Em

Stop being so negative. We just tied it up.

It's my classic anti-jinx!

 

[death2redemptions]

If you're going to give up a hit then give up a hit, just no free passes

 

[death2redemptions]

Okay Ender, we know you can cover the entire outfield, but sometimes you need to let the other guys get the ball too

 

[death2redemptions]

This is the Fishes most dangerous hitter. Maybe the one batter I'd rather Newcomb walk than give up a hit cuz when this guy connects, the ball travels....far.

Death valley, where fly balls go to die!

 

[death2redemptions]

Death Valley Part 2.....where fly balls go to die, again!

 

[death2redemptions]

Sean Newcomb - 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K (Quality Start)

 

[death2redemptions]

Wait....it's 4-1???

I didn't realize 2 runners touched base before Albies was thrown out at 2nd. Turns out, him getting thrown out at 2nd base worked out in our favor

 

[death2redemptions]

NO!!! Anderson robbed Acuna of extra bases.

Would really like for him to get going again.

And Freeman just missed a HR to straight away center

 

[death2redemptions]

Fish gloves robbing Tomahawk bases

 

[death2redemptions]

Suzuki BOMB!!!

5-1 Braves
