lol meatball right down the middle. Hendricks is awful.

 

He gave up one hard hit ball, after a couple BS infield hits, and a bad play by Bryant to go to second.

 

He's walked none, struck out 5, and got a ton of ground balls.

How hard can it be for pitchers to -not- throw meatballs? Christ.

[Guest]

Getting rocked by the worst offense in baseball.

 

3 runs, two of which came because his defense failed him, is getting rocked?

We'd be out of the inning at 1-1 if Bryant just throws to first.

You people are insane. The over-reaction to one bad pitch is hilarious.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Team is still young and will make mistakes but Bryant cost the team 2 runs in that inning.

One pitch might have cost them this game

Even excepting the bad play that got us there... 3 runs is getting rocked?

That doesn't mean he is terrible. Clayton Kershaw has lost quite a few games.

 

And, have you not seen our offense lately? It's the fourth inning. [expletive]!

It's not stupid at all considering where Miller's pitch count is at

To which JD said he threw to get over instead of a fastball, but he doesn't know what he's talking about.

6 hits and a walk in 4 IP against this trash of an offense is terrible. I've seen worse, but it's still terrible.

There's been a bunch of infield singles. You can't get "rocked" by infield singles. [expletive] just happens sometimes.

you don't need to come up with a reason to justify mistakes. all baseball teams make them and will make them, not just young ones. they play lots of games and attempt lots of things during those games.

oh you were serious?

[UMFan83]

we're not even helping with the PC....he's in a position to pitch 8-9 innings

[sontensei]

Shelby Miller is a good pitcher. Too bad Hendricks is just average.. Miller vs. Arrieta would have been a good matchup.. ohh well

[sontensei]

No chance to win today unless we hold em to 3 and blow up ATL's pen.

Not to mention, sure, that play led to 2 runs. But, you don't know that at the time. It was a dumb play, especially with the bottom of the order coming up. But, it was only magnified by the Markakis double. If we get out of it, then no harm, no foul.

 

It was just shitty sequencing luck the whole inning. Two BS hits and then one bad pitch. The world doesn't end, and it doesn't make Bryant's decision the worst thing ever. It just baseball.
