I was all set to rail against the Atlanta Braves for playing dull, lifeless baseball for the umpteenth time this year (although in fairness, this has been a very encouraging September), because the first six innings of Wednesday night’s effort against the New York Mets would have certainly qualified.
Then the Braves rallied, the bullpen held and Ender Inciarte made quite possibly the play of the year to preserve a 4-3 victory.
(I don’t speak Spanish, but I think that says, “Ender Inciarte is a Golden God.”)
For six innings, ageless wonder Bartolo Colon kept the Braves off-balance.
