The Braves avoided what would have been a disastrous 4-game series loss to the division rival Mets on Wednesday with a 9-2 win in which Ian Anderson got results without good process and the offense finally got some good BABIP and sequencing luck in a 7 run sixth inning that featured zero (0) home runs.
Both in the Braves game and elsewhere, umpires being weirdos was a feature of the day in MLB. In the Braves game, home plate umpire Brian O’Nora called Marcell Ozuna out on three called strikes, none of which were particularly close to the zone after Ozuna seemed to vocalize displeasure at each one of the calls.
