    And in the meantime, our guys continue to swing at miserably bad pitches and give away outs. Just going to need to try our best to flush the series from memory.

    Some of y'all need to see Pitching Ninja gifs...these pitches are hard to avoid swinging at.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    The number of absolutely godawful at bats vastly outweighs our line drives at people this series.

    The Rockies have gotten some luck today but they've played better baseball. There just is no other way around it. We ran into a team with an actual pulse and pissed away two games that should have been wins. We better start beating good teams in a damn hurry.

    Again, likely a pitch that looked like a strike at decision time for Johan.

    Luck gave them at least two games this series. Us playing godawful baseball kept it close enough that their insane luck was the difference.

    If you're considering Dansby's completely stupid error luck, I guess. If you're calling leaving Minter out there with a blister to throw lollipops over the middle of the plate luck, I guess. Or swinging at pitches in the dirt that were never close to strikes to begin with luck. Then yeah, I guess they're lucky.

    Got a break. Let's see if we can take advantage of the extra out.

    We are winning the “terrible swing” category this series

    Dansby's error was godawful play that kept them in the game so their crazy lucky hits could be the difference.

    This kind of series makes me question Snit as a manager. So many different guys making so many stupid mistakes and having so many terrible ABs makes me wonder what is going on. The entire team wet the friggin bed all series

    If the Braves miss the playoffs, in this season in the NL, it's going to absofreakinglutly be on only 1 stretch, even considering many games that can be discussed. Losing seven straight to the Giants and Rockies at home and getting absolutely slapped around in the process, with those teams looking head and shoulders better than the Braves.

    We absolutely played well enough to at least split this series, even if you give them one of those two fluke 9th innings. So aggravating.

    Well, we’ve been waiting for adversity to hit this team. Swept in a four game series against a surging Colorado team when they should have had a split. Here’s adversity. How this team bounces back on this coming road trip week will be telling.

    I’m not sure what series you were watching this weekend.
