Too much was left over the plate to good, aggressive hitters like Hanley and Puig. Weaker hitters leading off innings were walked. Too bad the braves had to pitch three rookies instead of Hudson, Beachy, Venters, O'Flaherty, or Martinez.
Both McCann and Heyward have hit Nolasco well, and Justin, Freddie, and McCann have been hitting good too. Also C Johnson.
Turns out ESPN isn't the only network that fawns over Puig. During the season TBS broadcasts one or two games a week, and during the playoffs needs four crews. Spread so thin, they employ announcers that don't broadcast games on a regular basis.
Going to Mellow Mushroom tonight for M's birthday, but should be back in time for first pitch.
All the thoughtless "same old Braves" comments still get me. So many fans just don't have a clue.
