That game really was a perfect microcosm for the entire season in that the only thing to feel after it is frustration. Like so many games this year, that was one the Braves should have won. They led 4-0 in the first inning and even after falling behind 8-4, had ample opportunities to claw back into the game and never made it happen before ultimately falling 9-5 to the MIlwaukee Brewers.
Whether it was Touki Toussaint being one strike away from getting out of the third inning relatively unharmed or the terrible execution to lose a potential big inning in the fifth or wasting two baserunners with the middle of the order up in the seventh, that game was there for the taking.
