[Garmel]

Bases loaded and the young Marlin's pitcher has walked two in the inning. Nick swings at the first pitch into a double play.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I legit don't understand all of these double plays. It's ubsurd

 

[Garmel]

No way that's a strike but we'll take it.

 

[Garmel]

Swanson hits the ball hard and it finds someone every time.

 

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Adonis

 

[thewupk]

not a good play by Swanson there

 

[Garmel]

We're letting a bum dominate us.

 

[USMA76]

We're letting a bum dominate us.

Yep--shutout through four innings by some guy whose AAA numbers include an ERA of just under 5 and a WHIP of 1.50. smh

 

[thethe]

Nice play swanson.

 

[Garmel]

What a double play by Swanson!

 

[USMA76]

Cinnamon roll in relief for the Fish.

 

[thethe]

Is it me or is our baserunning costing us lots of potential runs?

I though Garcia was safe but, evidently, not enough evidence to challenge.

 

[jpack1]

Atlanta replay crew. Smh

 

[WaitingFor2017]

What does it hurt to challenge this late in the game?

 

[USMA76]

Atlanta replay crew. Smh

I guess the brain trust wanted to take that challenge into the next game.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Having a potential 2nd-3rd with 0 out and Kemp/Markakis up tells me that I challenge any close call regardless since it's the 7th inning. Instead, it turns into a runner on 2nd with 1 out and nothing comes of it.

That could come up huge knowing our bullpen and their propensity for giving up home runs.

Baserunning has been an issue for the Braves for pretty much my whole life, it seems. I don't get it. Elite baserunners come to the Braves and turn to just above average and above average turn to average to below, etc. It boggles the mind.
