Absolutely. Dude never comes through in the clutch.

And Meso gives the base away anyway!

No reason why chapman didn't start this inning. Makes 0 sense

And then Logan mistakenly "takes advantage" of the open base to put the tying run on.

No doubt. What are the chances Dusty is battling early onset dementia??

Logan has a 0 ERA too! Chapman will probably allow his two inherited runners to score so he'll be ahead on ERA!

I basically think Dusty has checked out and has run out of fucks to give.

Joey Votto player-manager.

Also Alrodis Chapman=GOAT. Too bad he's a setup guy.

Votto became the first player to hit 3 HRs with the last being a grand slam walk-off. I wonder how many others have gotten their first MLB RBI at least a full 24 hrs before their first MLB AB, as Costanzo did?

Braves move to 0-6 on Mondays this year. Solid.

Dusty is an idiot. Anyone who watched saw how horrible he managed the pen. Chapman and Marshall's talent bailed him out.

He lets Ondrusek start. Ondrusek allows 3 guys on. Chapman has allowed TEN ALL YEAR! Chapman then comes in with the pitcher's spot due up 2nd.

Either pitch him the entire inning or make him the closer...pigeon-holing him into the role he did tonight is DUMB.

Just a taste of how fucked this strike zone was tonight. ALL of the balls inside the zone were Cincinnati pitches, and NEARLY all of the strikes outside of the zone were Atlanta pitches. Pretty one sided behind the fucking plate tonight blue.....

I wouldn't exactly call it brutal. I don't really like playing the Braves 5 times (at least it's not 6, and we already won 1), but the Yankees aren't exactly lighting the world on fire (no closer, weak starting pitching outside of CC) and we have the Mets who are bound to come crashing down to earth any day now. And the Rockies are pretty bad.

And don't forget, after these two weeks we've got Pirates, Astros, Pirates for 9 straight.

Also, the Cardinals have probably an even tougher schedule.

Ahh, so it is. Well, if we have to play 6 I'll take 4 at home, especially since we took at the very least one in ATL.

I give lotz 100% of the credit for this win.
