Are you in any way surprised?

No. At this point I've come to just expect anything in terms of this team f***ing up. I'm not watching, just following on my phone, so if the hits are indeed weak/cheapies, even that doesn't surprise me given some of what I've seen during this dismal 15ish game stretch.
 
I completely realize this comes under the heading of "whining," but there have been at least five examples of PitchTrack showing the Braves getting hosed on the strike zone by this particular ump. Strike two to Freeman was the most recent example. I guess when a team has your number, they're going to get all of those calls as well.
 
Must admit, I am pleasantly surprised by Minor in this game. He has had some crummy luck, and we are only down one...
 
This Braves offense is the worst they've had in years, just no plate discipline, they make crappy pitchers look like Cy Young, they're not even trying to make things happen. Heyward's ass was bolted to first base last inning, and now the Dodgers bullpen is coming in and the Braves have no shot. So after tonight, the Braves will be five games out of first place, six in the loss column and just one game from moving into third place. Great to be a Braves fan right now ain't it.

It's hard to send a guy when the players behind him aren't the best at making contact. Just another reason Heyward in the 5th spot is a complete misuse of his talents. Now if he was on base in front of TLS and Freddie then you'd see him running more like earlier in the season.
