Barmes Is With Leather


Crucial, crucial W for the Rocks today thanks to a very nifty game-saving catch and double play by a certain 2nd Baseman who hasn't hit in months. Face Pujols. It really shouldn't have been this close if the bottom part of the lineup would have been able to score a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs. By my count, they failed to convert those into runs in four innings. Apparently, no one (Stew Bag especially) likes insurance. All's well that ends well, but those squandered chances would have left a terrible taste if Ludwig's hit falls and the Rocks end up losing.

Of course the Braves win again, so the stress continues with one week left in the season. Already looking forward the final Guys Night Out on Tuesday that opens a must-win series with the Brewers.

Oh yeah, DLR gets win #16, but it was not a brilliant performance.

I will take 2 out of 3 from the Cards all day long. Scrappy effort! How do the Braves get 7 games with the Nats to end the season??

how come the Braves game isn't on TBS tonight!?!?!

TroutDog said...

Because it's a foregone conclusion that they will win.

Sonic Tooth said...

So the Braves suddenly think they are the '07 Rocks?

Maybe Barmes isn't so much with leather, but with slight of hand.
