A friend of mine encapsulated Sunday’s big win in the perfect context. I’ll share it with you:
“We dropped one we should have won, we stole one we should have lost.”
Four home runs in Citi Field after being down 8-3, with two guys hitting dingers that had just recently returned to the lineup? The Braves sure as hell got jacked on this one.
Unfortunately, the grand comeback wouldn’t have been possible without Dillon Gee’s complete stink bomb of an outing. One might reasonably infer that Gee’s outing is a product of his role being changed so much.
