    He hits a leadoff double and Freeman is up. There's no reason to steal 3rd. Then there's no reason to try to score on the deep popout when it's only the first out and Markakis is coming up.

    Theyre almost there, but they're clearly not there.

      Probably just trying to make up for his poor defensive play in the previous inning...just stupid.

        What's irritating is it's never a blowout loss. It's constant games that are within 2 runs that had plenty of opportunities to win. I get it is supposed to be a rebuilding year, but for my sanity, can they pull it together soon please. The division is so poor they could really have a shot at it.

          That 8th inning sums up the Phillies.

            And the game should already be tied...arghh...this is the story of the Braves season so far.

              Let's see if Markakis can come through this time...make up for last night.

              Markakis is anti-clutch over the last week. At least we tied it...now about that bullpen.

                  What an amazing at-bat by Freeman in the Top of the 9th. Down 0-2 with 2 out in a 3-2 (it was 3-1 Mets going into the 9th) game and he battles back to a full count and then rips an RBI single up the middle to tie the game. That's why he's our best player.

                  Nice that it's another team's bullpen blowing a game for once.

                    Maybin coming up big after his base running blunders...now let's hold this. Would be huge!

                      Other than the bullpen, this Braves team is so much easier to root for than the past few years.

                        Freddie getting cute here...not sure I like it. I'd have left Grilli in there.

                          Yup...Fredi is one of the worst at managing a staff. Guy throws 7-innings on Wednesday? Let's use him to close on Saturday! Grilli only threw 8 pitches and should have been able to go a 2nd inning.

                            As I said...brilliant move! Glad it worked and what a win for the Braves.

                              Man the NL East looks worse than their AL counterpart.

                                Ned Yost does not deserve to be the winningest coach in Royals history. Fire him now. You cant say **** like "He's doing things that can help us win ballgames" when talking about Infante while he is hitting .204/.214/.283 with no better than AVG defense. That along with wanting to play Salvy every single day. Its time to go. I could do both Ned and Infante's job at this point.
