As deflating a loss as possible

Should have had 2. Braves go to Philly feeling good and with the momentum

 

Big missed opportunity tonight.  Needed to finish this one, but...they are coming back to CBP and we can finish this series at home.  Braves don't want to come to Philly.  But... here they come, and we'll be ready for them.

Im confident.  This team has the mojo.  A LOT of close ish had to happen for them to get that.  Right to the wall on the go ahead and same on that last shot. 

Needed 1 got 1. Head home and finish this up.

I'll give you feeling good.  Momentum, I cannot agree.  Going into our hell hole tied is NOT momentum.  WE have the momentum.  THEY barely escaped a sweep.

They lost one at home should have lost two... not all that much momentum

Yeah,that is a momentum swing that wins a series not just a game. Nola will crack under the pressure.

That pitch is below the K zone. None of the ball crossed over the zone.  It was a ball and they just called it a ball is the other thing. Only reason it looks close to a strike is the frame job by the catcher Murphy. 

yeah I guess it was a ball, still too close to take.

Take it easy, guys.  Nola is pitching Game 3 and all your angst will go away …. until the 5th inning

Yeah, not ideal.  but really leaving Atlanta 1-1 is what we wanted.  So right on schedule.

Welp... no sense in watching the rest of the games. Sixers pre-season just started and there's that other Philly team that's 5-0 that I think plays the Jets Sunday.

Dodgers are gonna get swept. 

There is no momentum in baseball, it's as good as your next game's starting pitcher and the Phils have the best big game pitcher in decades going Wednesday.

I think we double them up 8 to 4 in game 3.  Who are they bringing?  Elder?  or AJ whatever his name is?  And we trot out Nola.  I feel pretty good about it.  

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory 

Definitely disappointed.  Mostly lost due to Topper's decisions.  Not pulling Wheeler in the 7th, pulling Alvarado too early and having not knowing how to play small ball.  I mean has the guy ever heard of bunting around a runner on base with no outs down by 1 in the 9th?

That being said, I think they bounce back in Game 3.  And have a chance to close out at home in Game 4

I heard there's no crying in baseball either. What do I know. I'm a 'only watch baseball in Red October" casual fan :)

No one on this team knows how to bunt for sheet though

It’s a legacy game for nola on Wednesday. A lot about how people will ultimately remember him and frankly this entire year comes down to what he looks like in game three.

It was... but... there's an off day, then they are back in Philly and we go with Nola who looked really sharp last game.   We aren't in bad shape.  We are still in control of the series.   

 

 

 

 

And... we aren't the Dodgers!

That's insane.  There aren't 2-3 guys that can lay down a bunt on this roster?

Not that I've seen all year @e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! can clarify, I could be wrong
