Can't win big baseball games when you can't come through in those situations.

That was a damned impressive exhibition of hitting from the heart of the Braves' batting order.

 

[USMA76]

What a ****ing dud of an inning.

Again.

 

[UNCBlue012]

You're not missing anything. They are. Gattis now 2-20 with RISP.

I hate to sound like I'm whining, but I know a lot of players personally who could probably hit a 90-MPH FB down the middle.

Strasburg threw a lot harder last night and we teed off on him. I don't get it.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Hard to complain about Harang's performance. This piece of **** offense has squandered several opportunities to be ahead.

 

[JusticeForAll23]

Tying the game up was great, sure, but turning bases loaded no outs into one run is still pretty disappointing.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Simmons makes that play.

This team is just weird. This is a fastball hitting team, without a doubt... yet we struggle against the most random pitchers.

Also, awesome play by Boni.

 

[JusticeForAll23]

Simmons-esque except for the arm.

 

[Braves1976]

Well, Boni leadoffs off next inning. So if we can keep it scoreless and he can get on, he can steal second. Of course a leadoff extra base hit would be better than that, lol.

Nice dive by Boni there but not fast enough on the exchange to get Span.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man, heck of a game for Aaron! If he wasn't up this inning, I'd say let him hit... but, offense.

 

[Braves1976]

Simmons-esque except for the arm.

Yea, that is Boni's issue. He doesn't have the arm to a very good shortstop. He can play there as a back-up, but it is one of his weakest positions.

He is actually good at third despite that though, much better than CJ in fact.

 

[Braves1976]

Well, so much for that idea.

 

[USMA76]

At least we'll clear our two pitcher's spots this inning.

 

[bravesnumberone]

I fail to see the point of Doumit EVER hitting. A ****ing 0-2 pitch and you pop it up.

 

[Braves1976]

Bright side, we're about to clear BJ so La Stella can start another rally next inning.

 

[Braves1976]

I fail to see the point of Doumit EVER hitting. A ****ing 0-2 pitch and you pop it up.

He was going for the old infield homerun, lol.

BJ was going for the old swing and miss...

 

[bravesnumberone]

IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TO HAVE BLOW JOB AT THE TOP OF THE ORDER

 

[Garmel]

Worthless garbage.
