I don't see it. Both (this and the Matz one earlier) were obviously unintentional and one bagged 'em a run.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Right? Black faced three batters, and the only one that touched him at all was ChipperDeux.

And there's the fuggin' lead.

Totally agree, but......




...that's baseball.

[Edgy MD]

Well, the Braves earned that one, at least in part.

[Frayed Knot]

Problem is, once he [black] gave up the rocket to Freddie then you want to limit the chances of Heyward bringing him home, and the guy who best fit that role was Edgin.

And now that's like four big 2-out/RBI hits by Chris Johnson just against the Mets this season.

[Zvon]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCAMPBELL!!!!!

[bmfc1]

What an idiot. He could have let Matzusaka start the inning--who cares how much he throws?--but no, he made a move. Then three more moves. Does Terry get a commission for every pitching change?

[Frayed Knot]

And in four quick batters we go from a two-run lead to having to come back vs Kimbrel

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The runner was going to be safe anyway, I s'pect.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Chris Johnson. Fuck that guy.

[Zvon]

Gah. Maybe Mex is right that he would have beat it. Looks like it.

[Zvon]

Replay tells me we had a play. I think even Campbell himself might have had a shot at the plate after the cut.

Gary brings up the biggest point that it was the go-ahead run.

[Frayed Knot]

The other thing Keith's not mentioning is that I think Campbell was too 'deep' on that cutoff, Seems to me he should be closer to the plate.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wow, did you NBsee that?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

GRANDY SAY RELAX

[Zvon]

CURTIS!!!!


..this is baseball too

[Edgy MD]

Guys, I appreciate you wanting to get an inning of chat out of that cutoff. But the throw was going up the line, the runner was going to score, and they got the out. What's to talk about?

GRANDY!!! THAT'S WHAT!!

[Frayed Knot]

I swear if Grandy's HR was only four feet over the wall instead of eight that Heyward was going to steal it.
I fully expected him to steal it in fact.

[bmfc1]

Gary plays the part of the homer by tracing the whole inning to Edgin. First question, why take out Dice-K, then why take out Black?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Murph now 5-for-14 lifetime against Avilan.

[bmfc1]

Two home runs means... What a deal!

The bullpen isn't burned through.

It's not just intentional pitches that lead to retaliation.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Come now, blue.

True.

Wright got wripped there.

[Edgy MD]

If that's a strike, all checked swings are strikes.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Man on first, ChipperDeux to the plate.

I do not have utmost stomach-calm.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's enough that Freddy Freeman is batting .900 career against us, but it's just unfair tha they've arranged it so that he also comes to bat once in every inning.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Freeman just missed those last two pitches before the walk. Home run history or no home run history, I'm a little more comfortable pitching to Upton.

[Zvon]

whew. Grandy got me nervous there. Nice catch.

[Zvon]

This guy must pay for the mispelling.

I hat him. You know that.
