Seriously, never a doubt, right? Kidding aside, I was nervous the entire 9th but all's well that ends well and it is like a 90% chance the Braves are heading to the WS now. Don't say that! 96 WS 28-3 Georgia Sports curse.. I think our chances are now 50/50, lolol Fair but unlike a lot of you here I'm not a GA or ATL sports fan. I'm just a life long Braves fan. I don't feel the curse like people that live in GA or close and I grew up in KY. I'm in Scottsdale, AZ now and everyone here looks at me like I'm odd with all of my Braves and UK attire.

That's 2 straight games we've won in spite of Snitker. Unbelievable. I don't think Snit did anything terribly wrong in game 1. He's been fine this post-season until tonight. He put us in a terrible defensive setup the last inning so he could get AB's for Sandoval and Culberson while trying to score runs. We took a huge risk with almost no chance for reward. If it had been two hitters who had some sort of chance to get a hit it would have been a little different. But he risked us having to play with that defense if the game went 15 or 18 innings, and it would have caught up to us at some point.

No, but the defense he had out there in the 9th could have killed us had we not had the big inning. But we did, and it didn't. That's baseball. I think that's nit picking. He had to make some decisions due to Duvall getting hurt. Pinch hitting for Markakis was the right thing to do and he had limited options. JMO, but I am not going to bust on him for that. I would agree that pinch hitting for Markakis was right IF we had a legit guy to use--Charlie had 7 AB's the entire season, including just 1 AB after August 10th.
How the hell is that a good idea? I am fully aware how much Nick has struggled, but he was still a better option than Charlie and then the defense was compromised for the rest of the game, which was an unknown at the time how long that could be.
HORRIBLE managing.

Snit says the feeling came back in Freddie's elbow and he should good to go.

Honestly, again, I love the guy and would love to be wrong, basically anyone is a better PH option than Charlie right now. He's done nothing to prove his value and the stuff that people remember isn't as solid as most think. He's, at best, a career bench player in the show and likely closer to a career AAA player than a contributing MLB player. Again, love the guy and his versatility but don't believe the hype.

Oh, I wasn’t making excuses for Tomlin ..was surprised to see him in the 9th Thought Jr could have gotten that ball to the infield quicker had he read the bounce but Allbie’s error r kept the fiasco going.. Still happy we won maybe Snit learns from this?? Lol Yeah the GAPOZ error was large. I'm sure nobody was more relieved than he was to see out three. At first I was pissed at the error, but Ozzie gave us the 8th run with his homer so the baseball gods were just playin' with us.
