GDT: braves @ gnats 9/10

[bravesfanMatt]

What a job by the pen tonight.

Ugh. Thought we had him.

How is Asdrubal Cabrera still anything?

 

[USMA76]

What a job by the pen tonight.

Lucky @$$ed hit by Cabrera.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Strike one?

 

[jpx7]

Another low-strike solidly in the zone called a ball.

I don't think "consistently bad" is a positive argument for umpires, due to in-game consistency, no matter the prevailing the conventional wisdom.

Nonetheless: great win.

[salmagundy]

A great come back win!!

 

[TURBO]

 

[UNCBlue012]

Win!!

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Win the game and maybe have Erlin DFA’d too. Would be like winning a double header.

Great job Yona and the pen studs tonight.

Braves keep winning with no starting pitchers. Great pen, great offense.

Find a starting pitcher or two (or three) and we are in business.

Marlins have tied the Phillies in the 9th.

Given the start of this game ... I'm pretty impressed with the grind-it-out rally.

The other point is that the strike zone is the strike zone for a reason. If a pitch at the knees isn't a strike, you force pitchers to throw the ball in more hittable zones just to get a strike called, and that's pretty bad, even if you're doing it for both teams.

Going to Bot 9th, 6-6

Anderson, Cooper, Rojas will try to win it for the Fish against Workman

 

[Heyward]

Somehow keep finding a way despite the SP being trash.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Great come from behind win. Good to see them bounce back the last couple nights.

Totally agree—a big part of why I think "consistency" is not a positive argument for umpires, even though it seems "fair" to a guy like Chip Caray.

One of the best wins of the season. Would have been easy to roll over after being down 5 early. Great job chipping away until we had the lead.

It's kind of like playing "Would you rather?" as in "Would you rather have a crappy rotation like the Braves or a crappy bullpen like the Nationals?" Nice job by the Braves' pen tonight.
