Sunday August 22: John Means' turn to try to end the streak

[mrbig1]

Means another great game.

[SteveA]

Quality start for Means

[Frobby]

This game has turned on two plays.  
 

1.  The decision to hold Wynns at 3B.

2.  Stewart giving up on the fly ball to the wall, which was catchable.  

[Moose Milligan]

I hope George Matthew is ok.  One of the few reasons to watch lately.

Now 1 for 8 with RISP in the series!  

Better than the Mets!

(Hmm, lines up well with "Benny and the Jets.")

[Moose Milligan]

I'm sure I can beat Wynns up the line even if I was on crutches.  But it doesn't look like he was hustling there.  

And I hate to play the hustle card, it's so obnoxious and annoying.  No one hauls ass up the line 100% of the time.  But if you're staring down the gun of 18 losses, you should be doing everything you can.  I dunno if Wynns beats that out but maybe the tie would go to the runner.

What inning was #2?

[LA2]

Tie run at the plate in the form of our best hitter.

[Moose Milligan]

Mountcastle dinger here, I'm calling it.

[vab]

3 run blast here. Losing streak over

[LA2]

Go-ahead run at the plate in the form of our second-best hitter.

I see, must have been the 4th, when Atlanta scored its only runs.

[LA2]

Send both runners even tho it's not full count yet?

[Moose Milligan]

We're really gonna lose 18 in a row.  

Unbelievable, and yet totally believable.

Tanner Scott in?  Forget it.

It looks like Mullins could have caught Duvall's 2-run double, too.
