A few weeks ago I was gloating about how the Braves’ Wednesday record was much better than the other days of the week. But then Drew Smyly started each of the last two Wednesdays. No more gloating from me. This Wednesday brought another miserable loss to the hated gNats, this time 5-3.
Smyly is a problem, but it wasn’t just him. This loss is on the bullpen. After a dramatic two run double by Ozzie in the 7th to tie the game at 3, Minter and Martin each gave up single runs in the 8th and 9th, and the Braves did not get a baserunner in either inning.
