Come on Jeesh.

You can't stop Ryan Flaherty you can only hope to contain him.

by Ramos.

Good mound visit by Eiland!

of there. He has no command

.

again.

This team is all about the blood pressure raise.

Hook this guy.

Maybe he can't do this back to back deal.

We need Swarzak back badly.

Blevins has been wretched lately. Need a quality AB here against Freeman.

At least he threw strikes

Glad we executed that clever trade for Ramos at 9 million instead of resigning Addison Reed

He’s here for Harper and Chipper Jr

that is all.

.

he wasn’t fooled by Blevins.

Still up 3-2 let’s get out of this.

Basically helped them

You throw fastballs on the corners and let them get themselves out. Got too cute and walked guys. Make them earn it.

With a runner on 3B

if you are going to double-switch Lobaton, how do you let him hit with the bases loaded last inning?

Cmon Fam, get out of this

Let's get some more runs.

Please just get 3 more outs.

The Braves need a legitimate cleanup hitter if they are going to in the hunt for a WC spot. Having Nick Markakis as your cleanup hitter is a joke.

I don’t think he intended to double switch but Ramos and Blevins couldn’t get it done

that was 5 feet foul.

At least Cespedes made some contact. 8 Ks in this series? Giminy Christmas.

Another lead off walk. Crazy

run on 3rd.

We can’t hit strike zone with 50 foot pole

poop.

He needed to get that sf

out there. This sucks

.. 3-0 in the 8th inning

Seriously, deGrom deserves a lot better than he's gotten from his teammates. What a collection of bums and I can't believe they are doing this shit to me yet again this year.

And can Familia ever get the first guy out in an inning? Seriously, I'd like to see that sometime. FFS this team.

Turn it off, I've seen this story before.

Now it's back to reality.

people on base. Here’s looking at you Ces.

Keep trotting Bruce out there with Nimmo and Lagares on the bench Mickey. It’s clearly working.

This offseason. Dude is maddening.

Good Job Toddfather.

you have to know that Enciarte burns this team every time. Walk that fuck and setup the Double Play!!!

Oh and if Jeurys walks in the winning run I'll live with it.

Not like he was hit hard. Defense let him down. Was a joke that hit wasn’t held to a single.

With an assist from Jerry B, who has been awful this season

Oh yeah and Freeman was 9 for 18 against Blevins for a reason.

Nah, let's just kick each other in the nuts right now, then the rest of the evening is free for something enjoyable.

it was hit hard but that needs to be a double play.

Gary said it right off the bat...and camargo hits a double play ball...that gets by cabrera

Cabrera has been a beast offensively but his range at 2nd is non existent...matter of fact Cabrera, Gonzalez, and Bruce might make up the least athletic group of fielders on the right side ever. They cost us some many hits because there lack of range...

They need a lefty in this pen. If he isn't coming in walking Harper, he's getting pounded by Freeman. So what good as he?

from the mistakes. In a 1 run game you have to get Lagares or Nimmo in the OF instead of Bruce. I know he'd just gotten a hit and he was due up if the game continued, but you have to play to win that inning.

I don't fault him for starting the 8th with Ramos, but at some point someone has to take the blame for the entire BP walking runners in front of the best hitters the opposing team has. It's the height of insanity with multi-run leads. MAKE THEM AT LEAST HIT THE BALL.

I know he hasn't had that many bad deals, but Ramos has to be Sandy's worst trade ever. Reed would have been cheaper to sign back, didn't cost a top 10 prospect, and was proven in the 8th inning role. I didn't watch Ramos a ton in Miami but I know the walk issues aren't a new thing.

deGrom feels like he was just fucked out of the last 3 hours of his life like I do? At least he got paid for it.

The Swarzak oblique really cost us. We need him back. And honestly, I'd like to see more Gershon Bautista back rather than these knuckleheads.

during this Braves comeback win, the Mets gave up a ground ball triple to Johan Camargo.

One of the most inexplicable triples I've seen.. ever. And I've been watching baseball for a fair amount of time now.

I think Mickey is riding Familia a little too much in the early going. He's on pace for like 100 innings, which would be like 20+ more than he's ever pitched before.

He's already lead all of baseball in games finished in 2015 and 2016 - he's leading the league again now.

So, this guy is being ridden harder than pretty much any other closer in the league.

Not hindsight - but I actually thought the right move last night would have been to use Familia to get that final out in the 8th - which Mickey did - but then I would have used Sewald in the 9th.

I know people feel uneasy when Familia is in the game because he can lose the strike zone a bit and has a knack for making things interesting. But the guy has a 1.50 ERA right now. 2.40 FIP and an 11.3 k/9. He's still been really good despite the mishaps.

I just think we need to be a little more flexible and make sure we keep him fresh.

How many closers would you take over him right now?

Wade Davis is the only guy with more saves in the early going this year. I know that doesn't mean everything - but pretty much every closer in this league blows saves.

Kenley Jansen has two blown saves and a 7.50 ERA. Would you rather have him?

are just 0.5 game behind the Mets

confidence.
