What should the final score of the 5/5 game have been?

4-1. Every team leaves guys on base. Two weeks ago the final score is 2-1 Braves in 12 innings. (Or 2-1 in 9 innings considering Delgado's error). The 11-1 games are coming. Patience, Iago.

They were both kind of embarrassing out there.

[nymr83]

5-4 bravos, Chipper's ball should have gone a bit further and led to great embarassment for Delgado on the backpages tommorow.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Pulling at the "should have" thread makes things unravel in quite the unseemly manner.

I'll take the win, and wear the sweater as is.

[Frayed Knot]

More for both teams for sure.

Consider that the average runs/game for both teams is about 9 these days - and these teams racked up a total of 23 hits, got issued 8 walks, and benefitted from 4 errors, yet only managed to get 7 runs and that was only after being handed their final 2 each.

At least Livan can make the argument that he made his own breaks by inducing 3 DPs

[Elster88]

Say it ain't so. Only the Mets leave runners on base and fail in the clutch. Surely this can't happen to the Braves and other teams.
