Well, this was depressing. We get up by two. Then down by two. Then we tie it only to lose in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Morton pitched fairly well for the first four innings, but he started having control problems in the fifth and sixth innings. Bobby came out and took Morton out. Then, he brought in Ridgway, who promptly allowed a three run homer. Ridgway then got the others out until Bobby went out again and brought in Acosta, who got a couple outs. Then, he went back out and brought in Ring, who got an out. Then, he went out and got Boyer, who got four outs and the loss because he gave up the lead-off double to Kinsler in the 9th. Then, Bobby came out again to bring in Ohman, who got an out immediately. Then, Bobby came out to bring in Bennett who prompty gave up the game-winning single. Bobby was a little busy by bringing in six pitchers out of the bullpen
The bats were a little slow today, but they came alive when they needed to to core a couple runs. Chipper went 0 for 4 today to lower his average to .394. Only Johnson had multiple hits today. Other than that, Feldman held us hostage for the entire day. Wilson and Wright were the ones we got to.
Another tough loss on the road.
Braves lose 5-4.
Tomorrow’s game 7:30 PM. Not nationally televised.
