Guys, you’re surrendering too early.
Baseball is a strange game. Braves beat Flaherty tomorrow and all of a sudden a possible game 5 looks brighter.
Win the next two, it’s back in our favor. Their closer didn’t look too good, either.

The Braves haven’t won a postseason series since 2001. I’m not surrendering, I’m going with history. Losing game 1, at home, against a guy that lost 14 games, in a 5 game series, is gonna be crazy tough to overcome.

Freddie homered. First one since Sept. 1st.
I’m looking for positives.
We knew the Bullpen was our Achilles Heel. Patchwork Pen, most of the season. Now we know to leave the starters in longer. It’s our best chance to advance.

I can’t argue with your points. Watched the same game you did. How we clouted Martinez and made that Milos Magoo guy look so good, is beyond explanation.
Only excuse is three words long: It is baseball!

I have a feeling that YFNS will be gone from the Braves when the season is over also.

Thank God, praise be.
I swear buddy, I took a couple of Excedrin Migraine Pills after he was still out there putting 2 more ducks on the pond. Felt Uncle Mo leaving us right then. He was a game changer, the wrong way. Lucky they didn’t get more runs off him. I think he had one clean inning all year. Naturally, I missed it.

I don't think he's good enough to be either a long reliever or a closer:rolleyes:

They almost cut him after Spring Training. He started getting some outs. I just knew we were stuck with him, so I was hoping he would be the long man. Seemed to be the only mop up role to hide a guy now-a-days. Although, you ideally want a LM to keep the game close and give your team a chance to come back. On his good days, there are baserunners.

Acuna needs his arse fined for not running hard on the hit that went of the wall. He should of had a double.

Whatever happened to Kangaroo Court?
Rain Man has the look of an animal. He could be in charge with Freddie as the Co-pilot.

Pat. Corbin over 100 pitches. Davey Martinez has only been Manager for 2 years, think we can poach him? Fred says he can’t win with the second guessers.

Nationals are not suppose to win this series. But... geez. That was a thrashing in Gm1.

Who would have predicted the Nationals would get just as many hits tonight as points the Jackets football team got last Sat?

I'm going to bed now. :sleep:

There's always tomorrow.

I’m doubly down. Make that triply in the dumps, thinking about the Jackets.

Buzz is looking for positives, so I'll try not to rant.
First of all, IMO, Yes it definitely was a lack of hustle, this is the post season and he should have been on 2nd base AND we lost by one run !!!!!! ... you don't carry your bat 3/4 of the way to 1st base.
Somebody better get this kid's attention fast !!!!
Finally, I'll just say it out loud, that was just all-around bad baseball from the 1st inning.
Optimistically, there are still four games to play.

Julio Tehran replaces Chris Martin....
Martin’s injury, meanwhile, likely brings an end to his time with the Braves. While Atlanta could re-sign him, he’s a free agent at season’s end and will also have the opportunity to explore offers from other clubs. Acquired on July 30 in a trade that sent pitching prospect Kolby Allard to the Rangers, the 33-year-old Martin logged a 4.08 ERA and a sensational 22-to-1 K/BB ratio in 17 2/3 innings with the Braves.

When Martin left the game last night I had the exact same sinking feeling I had when JJ Green fumbled against Tennessee.
