[MWBATL]

The Braves and Mets are tied 4-4 in the 9th inning The Braves relievers are woeful

I have come to hate the idea of an inning per reliever. If the guy who pitched the 8th was strong and set them down three K's, why switch when you go to the 9th????

Going by the book doesn't work with this group of relief pitchers

Minter was 8/8 in saves before today and was also perfect in holds, so this was the 1st lead that he has given up all year. Also, the pen has been much better since the acquisitions of Brach and Venters.

I also want to give a shout out to Julio. He didn't have a great start today, but it was solid and gave the Braves a chance to win. I'll take 5-7 innings and 2 or 3 runs from him the rest of the year.

I'll take the Braves winning 3 of 4 against the Mets every time

Great win yesterday, after the shut-out on Saturday and falling behind 3-0, I wasn't too optimistic ...
At least Julio is starting to be consistent, bad start and then hangs tough and his HR seemed to get us going.
Miami didn't help us at all this weekend, lets hope Arizona does this week !

 

[GTJake]

Dang !!!! ... just saw on the ESPN site that today's game is a afternoon start and I didn't set to record.
If the season ended now, we'd beat out either LA/Arizona for the 2nd wildcard spot.

The Braves next game is tomorrow

Thanks Mike ... glad I missed on that, I was deciding if I wanted to race home to record it.

Braves fall 8-3 in game 1. For those who didn't watch (or listen while working ), it was really unfortunate because Fried got hit by a line drive and was knocked out after the 2nd inning. He seemed to have his good stuff today too. I think that he is going to be an elite pitcher.

 

[THWG]

Braves win the 2nd game 3-1 and Newcomb was fantastic again. He went 6 innings with 6 Ks and the only run was a 1st inning Home run. Biddle won the game (3-0 now on the year) and Minter closed it out for his 9th save in 10 tries.

 

[Buzzbomb]

It’s tough luck having to replace Fried and Carle with McCreery and Parsons.

Hide the lighters, we might have brought up a couple of gas cans,

 

[GTJake]

Great work by Newcomb and Biddle last night, we badly needed the split.
It seems the bats are hit/miss lately ... we need to pick-up the offense !!

 

[Milwaukee]

CHARLIE!!! 3 run BOMB w 2 outs

 

[Milwaukee]

Flowers never comes through in the clutch, but that was MASHED.

 

[Milwaukee]

Acuna, that's my man crush.

 

[OldJacketFan]

Flowers just stole a call for Folty on a 3-2 breaking ball

Acuna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OldJacketFan]

Soto just got run for saying something to the Ump before a pitch was thrown to him in the 6th! Some things you just can't say to the Ump

 

[GTJake]

First of all, great to see the offensive burst !
Secondly, as far as Soto is concerned and I know Joe Simpson got some heat for his comment, but Soto does not look or handle himself like a 19 year old ...
They both have loads of talent, but stand Acuna and Soto side-by-side ...
