Surprised no one has posted on the Braves/Phillies game from last night. I watched a little early on and the Horseys jumped out to a lead with Halliday on the mound. Switched it off and went out to eat. Came back and the Braves had come from a 6-0 deficit to take an 8-6 lead. From there, it got really wild. Phillies went back up 9-8 then pushed it to 12-8. The Braves come back in the bottom of the 8th and score 5 runs to take a 13-12 lead to the 9th with Kimbrel coming in.
He promptly walks one of the fastest guys in the league, who steals second. Two ground balls later and they're tied at 13. Braves threaten but don't score. In the bottom of the 11th with one on....Chipper comes up. He crushes one that's gone from the second it leaves the bat...aaaaannnd 5 feet foul. A pitch or two later....no doubt. Line shot into the right/center field bleachers for a walk off homer and a 15-13 win. 19 Braves hits.
As a fan, I was glad I stayed up and watched. But I knew it was pretty cool when they interviewed Chipper about 30 seconds after he crossed home plate and he said that was about as special a feeling as he's had in baseball. Now, that's saying something. Great game but the best thing for the Braves is it breaks an 8 game losing streak to the equestrials.
