5/12/15 Braves @ Reds

[WaitingFor2017]

Johnson needs to pitch a 2nd inning if the game is tied since he didn't throw many pitches.

Now pitching for the Reds.

 

[Braves1976]

Doesn't mean much when your SS rolls over a hook to SS. Good thing em there was 2 outs or it would have been his 12th twin killing.

As long as Simmons hits behind another slow runner who gets on base well in Markakis, he'll hit into more DP's because he usually hits hard groundballs and he's slow himself. If you want to lower that number you'll need someone speedy hitting ahead of him that can steal second before hand.

Johnson has quietly rebounded after the Toronto implosion.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Wasting your closer on these turds in the bottom of the lineup when Johnson was still fresh? If you're going to use Grilli, save him for Byrd, Votto, Frazier, etc. when they come to play in extras. We are getting much closer to seeing Perez and Cahill.

 

[USMA76]

Pena hitting .347. i never thought much of him when he was a Brave but WTF?

 

[57Brave]

It is standard practice for the closer to throw the 9th inning in a tie game on the road. Been that way since the late 70's

 

[50PoundHead]

Boy, this has been the year of the ex-Braves tormenting their former employer.

 

[USMA76]

That, folks, is a painful loss.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Welp

 

[bravesnumberone]

Lol. Defense costs another game.

 

[UNCBlue012]

What an idiot. Another easy win lost.

 

[The Tariff King]

Well those who complained about Fredi not pitching Grilli in the 9th in a tie game can be happy now.

And I bet Simmons is super pissed at himself for messing that up.

 

[thewupk]

good game

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Another winnable game blown up.

That makes about 4 lost games that could've easily been wins.

 

[Braves1976]

Not the way I wanted to see Grilli return..

 

[jsebe10]

12 runners left on base. Peterson 3 times because of EYJ and the pitchers slot. Gotta hit in big situations.

That's why I don't mind if we lose this year when it's guys like EY that serve as the root.

I thought Folty was tremendous. His line looks ugly but he turned it around. That's very important to see from a young pitcher.

Trading Craig Kimbrel has to have an effect some how.
