Section 1, paragraph 5 of the baseball handbook says you cannot intentionally put the winning run on base in the bottom of the ninth… EVER.

Honestly.. that was the exact same pitch the umpire called a ball before that. Soriano had very little choice but to throw it down the middle, he did, and it was hit out of the park.
This game isn’t ending our season, I can’t believe anyone would say that. We could easily win this series, still…

Umps should get penalized for bad calls. Players pay for doing wrong. So should the umps. Guys play their tales off the whole freakin night….just to get screwed in the end. Not right. Soriano had NO chance. I’d say give Umps 3 strikes…then a fine or suspension.

That last pitch was badly located by Soriano but when you aren’t getting strikes called. Thought they might pitch around him to go for the DP but probably did not want to put the game winning run on base. Whatever, frankly i’m tired of seeing our pitchers not get that low strike call. We need that with pitchers like Lowe, Jurrjens, and Kawakami. To me I don’t see why it is so hard to call a low strike anymore. That 3rd strike he called on Mac didn’t even come back to the plate, but a low strike right over the middle most just don’t call it, I don’t understand it.

Those were strikes and he should have not been in that situation,however, once placed in that situation–and though it runs counter to the “BOOK”–instruct your pitcher not to give in to Gload and go after the two rookies.
Does anyone think it’s an accident that with 3 hall of Fame pitchers, the 3rd greatest switch hitter in history and a clear competitive edge in a division made up of 40 percent Marlins and Expos that the Atlanta Baseball Braves were able to win one less World Series than the Florida Marlins in about 33 more playoff appearances??

gotta say as soon u throw 4 straight balls to start the inning i knew this ballgame was over in the 9th.. but will say that umpire didnt call one strike. there were 4 pitches atleast were over the plate and strikes. leadoff walks kill you.. and when u grove a fat meatball down the middle buhhh bye.. and gload just crushed that pitch.. just have to say soriano got squeezed and when u walk people you will pay, but come on the marlins SUCK.. and this team needs to make a move for a hitter.. with this team right now. dont see it making the playoffs.. they have the starting pitching and a decent bullpen can use another reliable reliever and another hitter.. and with kawakami up tomm chalk it down another game in the standings.. 51-50 after tomm. hudson needs to be back in the rotation as soon as he can and is ready.. kawakami has done zip…

It’s very fustrating watching a team who has no imagination and no fire. The game has passed by B. Cox and everyone knows it but for some reason no one talks about it. He continues to send up to bat a guy batting .125 to pinch hit in key game situations time after time with zero results. Can we not find a decent pinch hitter? Whenever the game comes down to stategy, the Braves lose . Do we really want to win or not?

The strike zone has shrunk considerably all across the MLB, the hitters have a huge advantage now, when was the last time you saw so many bases loaded walks in MLB? The strike zone is the size of a peanut, that is what makes tonight so frustrating, a pitchers umpire, then he shrinks the zone in the bottom of the ninth.

So so bad. I wish that hadn’t happened.
I really wanted to hear what GA sounds like. I’ve never heard the guy talk once. I waiting for him to hit a game winning homerun so he could do a post-game interview.
If we can win the next two it would be huge. Not sure if that’s going to happen.
I wish I knew what to expect from KK tomorrow. I don’t feel too good about it.
Man, that would have been a good win. I feel like Yunel and Kotchman got a little impatient after GA’s homer. They should have made the guy work a little more. Yunel missed the pitch he popped up, he could have put a better swing on it.
I would like to see us try to bunt when we get the lead-off runner on like Nate when he got hit. That was a wasted opportunity.
We can’t give up. That was just a cheap little gift at the end. They didn’t earn it.
Soriano is solid, I guess it was bound to happen. Better than having Gonzo or Peter give up the bomb.
We deserved to win. They got lucky.

This loss hurts, but the Braves have got to bounce back tomorrow. We are right in the middle of the wild card and I believe thats our best chance to make the playoffs. We fall to 3rd but the Marlins are just such an up and down team they probably won’t sustain this play. they fell flat on their face to the Phillies but got on a hot streak out west. The Braves have been winning by playing complete games. We got 2 homeruns tonight but didn’t hit well with RISP. Not to mention that defensive misplay by Anderson. Got to do the little things. Josh Johnson will be tough but who knows, maybe he is off his game.

This was a deflating loss for sure.
Team played hard tonight, against one of the hottest SP in all of baseball (as of late) in Nolasco.
Jair didn’t have his best stuff, battled through. Braves missed some chances early on to get more early runs, you can always look back to that.
Strike zone was inconsistant for BOTH teams.
Soriano just had an “off night”. It sucks. He’s been so good for a long time now that you come to expect it but nights like that are bound to happen.
Hard loss but let’s not hang our heads down, Team has been playing good ball.
Tomorrow’s game it’s all up to Kawakami. He has to step up against the Marlins Ace. We need 7 good innings out of Kenshin. EARN that paycheck!

You know, Tomahawkin, I get so tired of hearing that same, lame attempt at humor (misspelled each time, btw) that is “KamaKaze,” as well as hearing the same, lame, “I’m simply going to willfully ignore any statistical evidence that says otherwise” claims about the way Kawakami has pitched. He’s a gamer, and the numbers bear that out. Period.
And please, you’ve obviously not been to Japan if you don’t know what a sauna this place is in the summer. South Florida will hold no surprises for Kawakami weather-wise.
Hey, maybe he’ll pitch terribly tomorrow, I dunno, thereby justifying your image of the guy. Then again, maybe we’ll get a typical 6IP 2R effort that keeps us in the game.
In fact, bank on it

RHR “Or that Greg Norton was a PH for the Marlins.”
I know, the way he is hitting he can’t be your number 1 off the bench. I was a little shocked when I saw our resident Marlins killer wasn’t playing, but he could have used Diaz in that position. I believe it was a lefty pitching or if it was a righty they could have used Johnson. Both are far and away better than Norton right now. It would be great if he could regain his form from last season, but at this point in the season(second half) I don’t know how much more patient you can be.

Chris, Braves weren’t “LUCKY”–They were VERY GOOD!! They also had advantage of playing in a division with two teams without money(except Marlins one year and you see what happens when the Marlins ACTUALLY have money) one team that was run about ineptly as possible(Mutts) so they basically dominated the Phillies for over a decade to assure a playoff spot. Imagine the Georgia Bulldogs winning 14 straight SEc East Divisions and parlaying that into 1!!!!!! SEC Championship.

Yes Soriano would have probably faired better against those two but when you aren’t getting the calls on Ross and Gload why would he got the calls on either those two. Thats how he walked Ross and fell behind to Gload. When you have to groove one it doesn’t really matter who is at the plate. Marlins know how to hit the fastball but throw Jamie Moyer at them and he could toss a shutout. I know, Soriano should have just gone to straight off speed stuff. Would have been the ball game.

Sir, my argument wasn’t about race- rather, simply that the nickname struck me as lame and lazy.
The majority of the post argued that statistically, while KK hasn’t pitched as deep into games as most of us would like, he’s certainly kept us in games, often against the other team’s frontline pitcher (starts against Halladay ansd Santana come to mind).
That’s all, man.

Lou Vales, If he had to groove one to Coghlin and he hits a double like he did off of Jurrjens fastball. Its one thing when you are locating your fastball down or out and away, but when you have to groove one right in the middle of the strike zone, trust me. Anyone in that lineup could have hit it. Besides, like I said, Marlins know how to hit the fastball. They’ve shown us that over the years, but off speed pitches they struggle with. Soriano should have gone with something off speed. i just don’t know if he could have located it well. Oh well, game over. Lets move on to tomorrow.

Frenchy got off to a hot start with us too, then he struggled. Don’t care to see an update on Frenchy every night as he does not play for us. Mets are on a nice little run, doubt they sustain it. Things are great with him right now, good to see. But overall I could really care less anymore. He’s a met now. Let’s move on.

Stinger:
Those numbers don’t include tonights game. 1-3, RBI and HBP. Average is probably now .330 with 16 RBI.
Didn’t Church hit into a couple of DPs tonight? Frenchy must have been a head case like Dye and DeRosa.

RHR…
I think It was LeBron James That Set Me Off years ago about Athlete’s having a “F-U” Attitude and Making it a statement as a “Slap In the Face” to the General Public to purchase cars and other crap like that…
Oh Yea Stupid Shows like MTV Cribs “Does That Crap still come On…?” Added to my resentment of stuff like that…
I have no Compassion What-So-Ever when Entertainers go Bankrupt after getting involved into dumb spending like that…

Where are the Homers who said the Phillies stunk and were catchable?
*crickets*
Haven’t seen nobody like that here.
N8, I’ve noticed that 4 games over .500 thing after you mentioned it several days ago.

WHere was that guy in a Braves uniform?
Listening to TP. No, who knows! Wonder who or what he gives the credit to? My guess would be just a new change of scenery and a new attitude.

This is the first time I’ve ever posted on Francoeur. The Mets are one of our rivals for the WC spot. I hope we didn’t trade them what they needed to go on a run.

Stinger-
Could just be a hot streak, or it could be that with the “Hometown Hero” thing gone, he’s pressing a lot less.
Thirteen games is a good run, but I’ll be interested to see how he handles his first slump up there. NY isn’t exactly the most fun place to be if the fans decide you’re not producing to expectations.
Personally, I wish the kid the best of luck (except against the Braves, of course).
