This game was an example of over thinking. Top 1st Braves 1st and 3rd no outs, #3 hitter up. Albies taps out to first then for some unfathomable reason the 3B coach sends the runner at third, tap at 1st easy tag at home. Double play. Take the out at first then your left with runners at second and third w one out and your #3 AND #4 hitters coming and the SP was gripping. Complete Fail

Disagree 100%. Burnes is the likely Cy Young winner. Soler was going on contact. You take every opportunity to score a run when it presents itself. The way Burnes settled down after that inning proved that.
no Soler was not going on contact Eric Young sent him if he hadn't Braves have runners at second and third with their # 4 and # five hitters coming up against a pitcher who was struggling with location
Not great by Duvall there. That sucks. Wasted a productive at-bat from a dude who has been struggling
I can see faking it to draw the throw but to continue to the bag was stupid.
Yeah. Chavez had a good sixth. Would feel more comfortable with a few more runs.
I never feel comfortable with Smith in the game.
Joc Pederson wore a hoodie for 8.667 innings and won the game
