Sadly, we should have swept this series.

Guillermo had a force out at 3rd but I'm guessing he didn't know where the runner was so tried to get Freddie.

Congrats to the winning pitcher, Will Smith!
Snitker says see, I knew Will was our man!
Anderson pitches a great game when we needed it, gets no credit, Smith chokes and gets awarded the W.

Why didnt he run to 3rd and get the force? momentum was carrying him away from third.

IMO if ya blow a save and your team bails you out, you shouldn't be credited with a W. That should go as a team stat.

That's why wins don't mean much, especially these days with 6 inning starts being the gold standard.

Well we got some luck there for a change. Luck is a part of the game...every team needs it. The Braves seem to be cashing in a bit lately on that elusive luck. I’d rather be lucky than good - Greg Maddox

I thought we were going to extra innings, but I was wrong on that one
Much needed win, and got to give much credit for a high quality start for Ian Anderson who does not get the decision but you know how that goes
I wish there was a way they could change the pitcher of record rules that a relief pitcher who blows a save cannot get credit for the win

I wonder why deGrom was so hell bent on that slider in the first. Granted, it was very good and got some folks to swing silly, but it just kinda felt like he was experimenting with it there that inning and it bit him in the hind end. Rest of the night he used his devastating fastball more and went on a K spree.
Whatever it was he was doing, glad the braves got on him while he did it, as he was unhittable after the second inning.

Sadly, we should have swept this series. While true, we all would have jumped at 2 out of 3 before the series. I want to at least be buyers at the deadline. From there, you never know.

39-41 looks a hell of alot better than 38-42 when you are trying to hang on
In the end we picked up a game vs the Mets. Next goal is to get one bleeping game over .500.
I am satisfied with two or three, for sure I thought we were going to extras but it was not to be thank goodness

Both starters were excellent, how DeGrom does not have 10-12 wins is beyond me even in this era of the parade of relief pitchers De Grom will go into the HOF with maybe 125 career wins and rightfully so. I know wins are not what they used to be but I scream and pout on relievers who blow leads can be in a position to get the W, no other sport has the peculiar pitcher of record rules as we know it in baseball. I bitched about that even in the days when the SP usually got the decision
