This game was horrible. The Braves wasted 13 innings of effort (or lack of effort) to the lowly Padres! The Padres who just got swept in a four game series vs. the Phillies. I was awake up until 2 am watching this joke performance by the Braves.
-Well deserving loss for the Braves too. They had multiple chances to score, yet multiple STUPID plays as well. Literally, base running skills as if watching a child start out in T-Ball.
-Fredi Gonzalez with more dumb moves. He takes out O'Flaherty who only needed one more out, who already faced consecutive right handed batters, and puts in the the most unreliable pitcher in the pen named Scott Linebrink. Linebrink throws two straight balls, then throws a straight fastball down the middle. This gave up a huge shot by a scrub and the tying run scored. Is this "veteran presence" in the bullpen supposed to decrease team morale or something?
-The worst part is giving up five runs to the worst hitting team in baseball.
-The second worst is guys like Prado going 0-6, and McCann going 0-5 .
-When is Dan Uggla going to start hitting the ball? It's ridiculous to be hitting .183.
* The only good news out of the night. Chipper Jones hit the 500th double of his career.
-Brandon Hicks came in as a pinch runner after Chipper's double. What does he do? Makes a stupid running mistake going to third on a ball hit back to the pitcher. So, he was tagged out at third. He didn't have to go anywhere since there was no runner on first base. Then the next batter hit a single which would should have scored the tie breaking run.
