He's just as responsible as the offense. There's no reason to get beat by their best hitter there with first base open and a tied game.
Turner is the best hitter?!?!
At least the coaching staff will have all off day tomorrow to think about these sorts of late inning situations.
no runs after 7 innings? its hard to blame JZ where 0 runs are scored
Disaster of a road trip has gone under the radar for some reason. 3-6 is unacceptable for a team with playoff aspirations. These last two games illustrate how unprepared this team is to handle high leverage situations vs premium competition.
You mean how they lit up King Felix?
That was one game. What hurts most was losing all 3 to Philly and losing today's imminently winnable game vs a AAA pitcher.
Unless it's game 7 of the World Series, who gives a crap about one game? They looked awful in Philadelphia and they've looked awful these past two games. The Braves aren't as far behind as everyone wants to believe.
And we are still 6 games up.
We were up 8. And then 7. 6 is okay but if it gets any lower it's time to push the panic button. I'd like to have a little bit of cushion before they come to town on Monday.
They looked pretty good in 2 games against Seattle and game one here. Last night they faced one of the best pitchers in the history of baseball, so we'll let that go. Today is disappointing, but like you said, it's one game.
You can't possibly mention Felix Hernandez when they LOSE to a bum like this! This is 10 times worse than beating Hernandez was good.They didn't just lose. They didn't even get a runner to third base against a AAA pitcher who's never started a major league game and has an ERA over 5.
Look, we are going to have to beat the Braves AT HOME to win the division. Sack up.
