This looks like yet another shut out for the Braves on a night where they have actually made some decent contact with nothing to show for it.

It is kind of strange how much more often the Braves win with Constanza or Johnson in the lineup. Guess FG hasn’t noticed that yet. Still has his blinders on.

this hitting is ridiculous. We have been unlucky with Overbay’s drive and with Chipper’s and Heyward’s drives. They all just missed but close only counts in horseshoes and grenades

offense only has 6 more outs to work with. If Huddy and the pen can hold them, the bats are going to need to double their offensive output in this series to take the lead

You have to score runs to win in MLB.
We cannot do that anymore. Very BUMB. And Booable.
So many chances stranded in this one. Good game by Huddy but not his fault.
Have to keep this as a 2 run game — its getting late.
We lose this and I see a repeat of last yr. Not good.

no matter what the average started at 1o days ago, since then he is the hottest hitter on the team. as long as he hits he will stay in the lineup, those previous failures have nothing to do with now. He stops hitting again, they will sit him again. not really all that hard to figger out.

there still must be something wrong with the chemistry of the club and manager. I have never seen a team play so hot and cold with wins and losses. The failures with RISP just kill us.

we are still sitting pretty for the playoffs but games like the last 2 against no name pitching as well as the games versus Colorado don’t give me much confidence that we will advance far in October, even if we get past the play in game.
What would we do when we face 3 top pitchers?? We showed our prowess against Philly recently. Unless we are in “hot” mode we will have a quick exit

Most of em are BUMBS like Dice-K, KK and Irabu, and Nomo was really no great shakes overall.
