Lost on the Basepaths
Philadelphia 4, Atlanta 3. The Braves suffered another excruciating collapse on the road last night, wasting several runs on base running mistakes, blowing the lead with a Kelly Johnson error in the ninth, and losing it with a Manny Acosta appearance in the tenth.
Wait, what’s that you say? We were at home? This was the Home Braves? The Home Braves just completely gave one away?
Let’s not be too quick hang this one all on KJ, though. His error in the 9th was the most visible mistake, but we really lost this one on the basepaths.
- Yunel trying to score on a pop up and getting nailed 20 feet from home.
- Gregor Blanco failing to get down a good bunt on the suicide squeeze after Infante triples.
- Will Ohman trying to take second on a dropped pitch.
- Grego Blanco thrown out at home trying to score the tying run.
Tim Hudson (7.2IP, 1ER, 5H) must be pissed.
