I’m debating whether I should wait till the Braves put up a 4-5 game stretch of scoring more than 3 runs per game before I buy tickets again. This team is just painful to watch right now.

Lucky he wasn’t playing 3B on Prado’s double. Braves would be down 2-0 right now.

Here’s my main metric for the Braves’ mentality… after giving up a lead, do they roll over, or do they continue to fight?
Good play by Descalzo over there (Spanish for “barefoot,” btw).

Curse of McDowell. A foot from a leadoff double. A foot from a go-ahead HR. A few feet from a go-ahead double. Then a line drive right at the 3B.

Quoted for truth.
Someone said that Nate’s HR yesterday was a “Bucky Dent fly ball that made it out” — conveniently forgetting that “out” was about 400 feet away to that part of the park.

There was no chance Hewyard would have been thrown out at 3rd if he tried to tag, i thought both runners might try to tag up honestly … didnt end up mattering, but he was in no danger (if he had been on the bag) of being thrown out.
