The Atlanta Braves added another chapter of postseason misery last Wednesday when a series of mental mistakes led to a ten-run first and ended a promising season in the worst possible way.
Things went south for the Atlanta Braves before the fans settled in their seats for game five. A walk, sac bunt, infield single, and dropped third strike, put the Braves behind; then it got worse.
Twenty-six minutes and a pitching change later, the Cardinals had ten runs on the board before the Braves grabbed a bat.
That game put the dagger in, but the Braves lost the series in game four when they failed to score in consecutive innings with the bases loaded.
