Game 52

What a horrible ending to what was looking like a fantastic game. I know a lot of people blame Bobby for not pulling Huddy (which is partially true), but there is plenty of blame to go around. Huddy told Bobby he was good to go for another inning, when he wasn’t. Huddy has earned the right to stay in if he feels he can. One the other hand he is starting to show he cannot make that judgment and needs to realize that. Also, the bats really needed to score more than two runs.
Huddy, almost, pitched a great game. He went eight innings, scattered 11 hits but only allowed two runs. He came out to pitch the eight, where he gave up the tie. Bennett was brought in to pitch ninth, he pitched well only allowing one hit. But, a sacrifice, a stolen base (McCann was asleep?) and a sac fly and the game was over.
The Braves got very little done at the plate. Chipper (of course) had two hits. Both runs were scored by solo shot. One by KJ the other by Blanco.
Today’s game, 8:05 PM. Not nationally televised.
