The Braves have had a lot of bad baseball this year, but the fifth inning of Friday night’s loss against the Dodgers might be the single worst frame of the 2021 season for them so far. They entered that frame with a one-run lead, and by the time it was mercifully over, they trailed 8-1. The inning had everything that goes in to make a particularly noxious stew of awful baseball: defensive lapses, relievers, relievers who can’t find the zone, relievers who walk in runs, and some absolutely self-lobotomy-inducing tactical decisions. What I’m saying is that we all had a fun Friday night, right?
Braves let Dodgers walk all over them in 9-5 loss
