The Atlanta Braves lost to the Cubs on Tuesday essentially because Mike Foltynewicz needed to clear his throat.
I refuse to blame him for the loss, because that’s just a “life” thing. The real reason for the defeat was because while that 2nd inning incident was overcome later, the offense failed to score over the last 4 innings and thus could not match the Cubs’ efforts.
Last night, the pitching – once again – did enough to win. The game was lost, though, due to a lack of offense and general inability to overcome adversity (though I would understand it if you repeated that statement back to me while pointing at Folty about the Cubs’ game).
