The Braves have had a runner at 3b with 1 out, twice in the first 3 innings. Both times they couldn't do anything with it.

Braves win 5-1, behind Keuchel and Freeman's 2 HR 4 RBI night. The Marlins continue to hit our batters, Acuna on the first pitch of the game and Hech in the 3rd inning.

At some point, the "ball just got away from me" excuse won't be good enough.

Btw, I'm seeing why the Braves got Hech - he can really pick it in the infield. Same thing with Hamilton in the OF. Neither are going to hit much, but both cover a lot of ground.

The umps handled it poorly. Braves should not have got a warning, only the Marlins. If they umps thought it was intentional enough for warnings, then they just should have ejected the Marlins pitcher. Mattingly's bush league Marlins lead MLB with 68 hit batters this season.


Agree, AA has been making good moves prior to and during the season. The three relievers we got are finally settling in some.

Let's get the sweep and not spoil a win for Soroka. Braves have been doing that lately, he pitches great, gets ND. Last win was on 7/14, his last 4 starts he's gone at least 7 innings with 3 runs allowed or less.

I look forward to a good game tonight from Soroka. Sandy Alcantara takes the mound for Miami. Aug 10th he ptuched for them and Miami beat us, Sandy pitched 7 scoreless innings, but received a no decision.

Soroka unravels in the 7th. Allows 3 hits and 2 runs. He allowed 3 hits and no runs the first 6 innings. Braves offense needs to wake up, they have struck out 8 times and had plenty of chances to get that 2nd and 3rd run. 2-1 Marlins end of the 7th

We'[re doing well, but the Nats are making me nervous. Their run differential is 24 better than the Braves, and their starting rotation is looking better and better - with Scherzer getting healthy. We have 7 games with them in the first half of September, and our 2 best pitchers - Soroka and Fried - are very inexperienced and might have innings restrictions - especially Fried - who's been somewhat lucky. I think we'll need Folty to step up.

Luckily we have Swanson and Riley coming back. Hopefully they can boost the offense. We need to score more runs. Especially when Soroka is on the mound. His last 7 starts, 5 are quality starts, he has 1 loss and 6 ND's in those games. The Braves have scored 5 or more just twice in those 7 starts. He easily should have 3-4 more wins, if we scored more or bullpen didn't blow it late.
