Wow – very good AB for Juan – making it a little interesting – bases still loaded, no hits and the Braves have scored.
Never easy is it ?

Can we find Hank Aaron and give him a bat right now?
Come on Bourn.

Didn’t throw at him, but scared the ***** outta Bourn – 2 runs, still no hits.

I’ve never seen anybody take a walk quite like that.
Wow.
Okay, they’re trying to give it to us, let’s take it.

Heyward needs to walk and let Chipper beat NY one last time, in his last at-bat in NY.

Remember earlier in the 9th, runners at 1st & 2nd, nobody out, and Uggla whiffs on 3 pitches? I do.

This one is on FG if the loss. NO EOF in the 8th and they gave up the run unreal

Okay, who gave up that sixth run to the Mets?
GD it.
I’d rather lose 20-0 to the Astros than this game by one run.

Bourns throw to 2B when it should’ve went home is looming larger.
Maybe we can overcome both

Heyward has to come through right here. He’s o’fer for the night. He’s due. Just needs a single. Doesn’t have to kill it.
Seems like he’s always facing a new pitcher in these type of situations, which appear to put him at a disadvantage.

Sure you would Bitchell, but you’d also bitch about allowing 20 runs to the Astros. Jerk.
Pace
August 12th, 2012
10:51 pm
Gave up the run in the 8th because the pitcher didn’t pay attention to a base runner, and Bourn threw to second base instead of home.
Not FG’s fault.

Jhey should’ve ran at the first baseman there. Perfectly legal since he would’ve been in the running lane.

You guys aren’t really gonna trash Fredi for using Martinez (era 3.70 coming in) in the 8th inning of a 6-1 game, are you?
Mixxo
August 12th, 2012
10:56 pm
Heyward looked horrible all night.
There wasn’t one (1) strike in that whole sequence.
Mitchell
August 12th, 2012
10:56 pm
Pointless.
Utterly pointless.
Or is that all part of the “growing process” for Jason and the other young Braves?
Of course he would strike out.
F*ing pathetic.
admiral
August 12th, 2012

That one hurts.
Jason looked like he was barely busting it out of the box to start – and if he was, very easily could have been safe.

A lose is lose. It too bad Jason Heyward decided not to show up tonight. This is a really bad lost. for so many reason. Overall 4-2 series was a a bad job by the Braves

Apparently you have never seen Martinez pitch or you would not post the same stupid comment again – seriously, are you just trying to pretend you have some knowledge of the game?

Heyward was trying to hit the ball out of the park on every swing he took. He’s got to be better than that at understanding the situation.
MiaBchBravesFan

These are the kind of losses that hurt. You have a chance to gain a game against the gNats against an average pitcher. For eight innings, you make him look like an All Star. When it matters most, you fall short.
These are the telling losses moreso than the wins, folks. This lineup better get a clue. And Uggla? Still lost in the woods (his at-bats were HORRIBLE tonight!).
tony austin

JHey struggling the last couple of days, would have preferred almost any other Brave in that position. Oh well, at least they didn’t phone it in the ninth, would have been easy to do. Great road trip Braves!
Venice Jim

It too bad Jason Heyward decided not to show up tonight
Yes, he decided he didn’t care tonight – he wanted to make out and lose. Really, do you enjoy being totally moronic?
Jay Dubu
August 12th, 2012
10:59 pm
Not a good game for Heyward tonight. Lefty got him off balance early, and he was not able to recover.
Uggla hits lefties as bad as a lefty hitter.
Ughhhhh!!!
Very frustrationg game tonight. Braves did not play crisp baseball, and they let too many opportunities slip by.
DS1

Anything short of a 162-0 record, then 11-0 in the post season would be somehow disappointing to some on here.
Later fans. Tomorrow is another day.

I know, but in their minds, he should’ve used Kimbrel to “keep it close”
We didn’t lose any ground in the NL East standings tonight, it’s not that bad.
MiaBchBravesFan

11:02 pm
Bringing in Martinez was not a mistake. Stuff happens. The lineup lost this game tonight with a horrible hitting approach against a very average pitcher, not like the “superstar” we faced last Saturday against the Astros.
Pretty uninspired effort on a night when the Braves would’ve gained a game in the standings.
Bravesfaninnc

@Venice Jim you have a new pitcher who is brought in you have the the tie run at 3rd and the go ahead run at 2nd. Heyward should have lay off the first pitch that he saw as well as the last pitch. He should look at what Prado did. Prado did not try to hit a HR but instead he try to get a base hit. Heyward should have done the same.

Hopefully they’ll show Jhey the film of the AB and explain: Be patient here, make him throw strikes. Don’t be too anxious. You have a HOF on the on-deck circle. Stay within yourself…
He’ll learn. Can’t blame him at 23 for wanting to be a hero!
Afterall he wasn’t the only one with 2 Ks
Want to blame something. Blame mental errors by Martinez not holding the runner and Bourn for not throwing to home.

17 years folks….SEVENTEEN f’n YEARS!
Some of you may not mind waiting 17 more…that’s fine (for you.)
I’m sick of it.
I was just 11months old at that time, and couldn’t have cared about the Braves at that time, and I’m willing to wait. Though I have to say, if we can find a way to beat Washington (which I think we can) in the regular season and playoffs, I really really like our chances to get to the WS.

Two (negative) things coming out of this game: Teams starting to dust off the scouting reports on Sheets and Uggla is still overmatched.
Two positives: Maybe Venters is back to 2011 form. This team will fight to the last at bat..
tiger297
August 12th, 2012

mark – thats a pretty good encapsulation (at least of those 2 points) with chipper on deck against the mets you have to be thinking just get on base
if bourn throws home they probably wouldn’t even have sent the runner

Ok everyone, I just talked with Mixxo’s parents and they are restricting his computer access for the next week. So, one fewer idiot online for the next series.
