I’m in Atlanta on vacation and so I was required to watch the away broadcast for today’s game. Fortunately there was a familiar voice; former relief pitcher Peter Moylan is the color man on Atlanta’s broadcast and he was quite entertaining.
In the top of the ninth immediately after Scott Barlow entered the game and gave up the lead for the final time Moylan had this to say, “I’ve been on some teams where the moment you give up the lead it feels like the game is over.” He went on to describe how that doesn’t describe Atlanta’s baseball team at all but I couldn’t help but feel like he was also remembering his time in Kansas City and how poorly it went and how bad they look now.
