Braves Nationals G1

[smoltz]

Blown oppourtunities.

 

[freak]

yep. At least Colyer is keeping it close.

 

[freak]

How many pitches did James throw anyway?

 

[freak]

Whew, I thought Belliard had a hit right there.

 

[utbravesfan]

James threw 74 pitches

 

[freak]

James threw 74 pitches

Thanks. It didn't seem like it was very many.

 

[freak]

Only 3 outs left.

 

[utbravesfan]

not looking good and the bottom of the lineup will be up in the top of the 9th

 

[smoltz]

Yea, not looking good.

 

[freak]

bad >> worse.

Bases loaded.

 

[freak]

Good grief. Ball 4 was not even close.

 

[smoltz]

Oh well, hopefully they come to play tommorrow to salvage the two game series.

 

[smoltz]

Smoltz pitches tommorro.

 

[smoltz]

Uh oh. With those of you who have it on TV, what happened there?

 

[utbravesfan]

wth, bad call

 

[freak]

It looked too close to call him safe. I think you give him the benefit of the doubt there. I've seen guys miss the bag at 2nd a lot worse than that and still have the runner called out.

 

[hooty]

Crappy game. I think that runner was out but I honestly don't think it would make a difference in the outcome.

 

[freak]

and that's it. Final.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Bad loss tonight. The back end of the rotation is going to struggle enough as it is without the offense giving them any help. And the Braves have GOT to take two of three from the Nationals just about every time they come up on the schedule.

Need to rebound big tomorrow, and give Smoltz a little more help than he got last time out.
