Guy walks four batters in 3 innings and we can't push anyone across.

Travis swung at (2) balls to strike out instead of being the 5th walk.

That one pitch Suarez throws high must be a dandy, 'cus it has all our hitters swinging two inches under the ball…

They are just killing Fried and they are taking advantage of every mistake we make.

Fried getting pulled after 3 1/3 innings.

If Phi leaves him in there much longer, he's gonna **** around one too many times, and get burned…

We messed around and didn't take advantage. Now in a huge hole.

Might as well just let Chavez pitch the rest of the game and save some arms.

Horribly disappointing start to this series.

Dansby with another opportunity.

And Dansby with another swing & miss strike out.

Left 8 runners on base so far.

Only 8? I guess that's right…

Our catcher is having himself a game!

Yes, he is…

4 runs down is a lot better than 6. Wish we could have got it to 3, but still plenty of time against a suspect bullpen.

Dansby with a golden sombrero. Only took 6 innings. He will get another chance to redeem himself or go for the platinum sombrero.

I've never heard of a platinum sombrero before. Tragic…

Made it a one run game. All those missed opportunities really, really hurt.

Our bullpen is doing work. Their bullpen is suspect.

Have to get it done tomorrow.

What I love about baseball...your team gets a chance the next day to get going!

In retrospect, it took the following for the Phillies to beat us by one run:

1.) Max Fried's worst outing this season, if not the last two seasons, both on the mound and in the field. Not sure if was just rust or still some lingering effects of the flu-like stuff he had, but he clearly was not his normal self.

2.) Nick Castellanos, who had the second worst WAR in baseball and was the 2nd worst defensive player in all of baseball, having an absolute career day both at the plate and in the field. His catch in the 9th is probably what saved the game for the Phillies, because if he misses it Contreras is at 2nd if not 3rd with only one out in a one run game.

3.) Multiple missed opportunities by the Braves in the early innings. 7 runners stranded in the early innings after multiple walks is just not going to get it done.

Have to give the Phillies credit, their guys got the hits and made the plays to win the game. But I still believe this Braves team is the better team in this series and that they will get it done.

Some positives:

1.) Acuna looks like he has found a rhythm, has his timing down, and is seeing the ball.

2.) Olson looks primed to go a hot streak.

3.) Our bullpen gave us a chance.

4.) We have a later start time today, so hopefully that day game BS that seems to always get us will not have an effect.

Jeez…Wheeler is dealing.

Dansby with an awesome catch to end the Phillies 6th.

Bats have to get something going and put some pressure on Wheeler. He has a ton of innings straight without a run. Time to change it.

What a piece of **** Wheeler…throwing inside to Acuna like that…the only guy who had, at that point, gotten a hit.

How did that work out for ya?

Strider looked unhittable for 2 innings, then completely lost his fastball. I guess that comes with being rusty after not pitching for a month.

Snowballed on Strider. He was looking unhittable too.
