This is a good lineup Sims is facing, too. Buxton, Kepler, JR Murphy, Kennys Vargas, etc.

True, he just got through the third fine. But did have a two out walk, then K'd the next batter to end it.Originally Posted by CJ9
Three two out hits and G-Braves tie 2-2. Garcia and that other Cuban and Lavarnway doubles 'em home. Ruiz pops out inning over.
I missed the last two innings, had company, Sims gave up a run in the 4th and had a scoreless 5th so 3 runs through 5 innings. 3-3 game in 6th.
Strong 6th by Sims, that's probably it for him, all told he pitched 6 innings and gave up three runs for a quality start. 4 H, 2 BB and 5 K's.
Believe it or not, Garcia actually made a fine running grab on a pop up to CF to end the sixth after Boni lost it in the lights.

I feel like Sims has been royally screwed defensively over his last two starts. I could be wrong, but it sounds like he has.
I didn't see the 4th so cannot speak to how that run came about, etc. But he simply had some bad luck in the first and otherwise pitched well tonight IMO. He got a quality start even with the bad luck in the first so nice finish. Good to see he didn't let it lead to a bad night.
Looks like you were right about Ruiz's flakiness. The guy is back in suck mode.
He certainly seems to be slumping now, chasing some balls he hadn't been when he was hot. Kid has always been very streaky, I hope he's finally turned a corner and can keep his bad streaks to short term. Time will tell.
I notice that Swanson's gone cold. Is he just running into bad luck?
Somewhat yes, maybe a mini-slump too but I doubt it lasts long as that kid seems special IMO.

Morales is 2-3 with a double tonight catching for Rome and batting clean-up. He also has a CS too.
