I thought the braves might lose 3-2 but 4-2 I didn’t see. Meds has still only given 2 unearned runs so the prob is not with him. Poor hitting and an error are the reasons.

Warning-track power today… This 1gm playoff format may screw us over, and Meds pitched pretty well too. A fielding and baserunning error would be a hell of a way to lose.

Chipper checked out days ago apparently….
We’re done. Isn’t it obvious.
In case you didn’t know, 0-8…..

Looking forward to DOB article tonight on the lose. Feel sorry for chipper to lose and go out like this tonight, you know he will be crying in the after game interviews. Medlen has the heart but still young. I agree turner field sucks has a curse.

23 game winning steak behind medlen was always going to come back and bite us. Biggest game of the year with the streak on the line, not looking like a good day.
Then again braves do make some good comebacks, fingers crossed

Not sure why all the hate towards Medlen. He’s tried to stay outside to the right handed hitters today, made one mistake. Without Chipper’s error the Braves are up 2-1 with their killer bullpen ready. Sad to say but everything turned on that error.

Here’s the thing about the safety squeeze: It’s not the first time that Andrelton Simmons has bunted in that situation! Whose fault is it that it happened AGAIN, and in the freakin’ playoffs, no less?!?!?!

Well, I don’t care how your pitcher pitches. When you make two throwing errors to let runners advance on the bases, you aren’t going to be able to win a game! Uggla’s error was even uglier than Chipper’s because he had plenty of time and only a short toss from second to first!
Medlen has to bear down and needs a K after getting the sac bunt runner out at first.

I just got here and all I read are sorry comments from so-called Braves fans.

Had fun watching A”s win there games against Rangers. Darn Braves big series or playoff game errors. Everytime we make an error the next guy always gets a big hit.There manager is playing to win takes his starter out with a lead.Medlen still in there if he gives up a run then Freddi the loser will take him out just like Cox always did. Another error darn losers or maybe Chokers is what I meant.Cards swowing us how to play where the hell is Conrad so we can blame him.

80% of that error goes to Uggla. I’ll put 20% on the HP umpire not calling that strike 3 when he should have.
