Diaz grounds into the game ending double play. So we lost to the Pirates 5-0. Here're my questions. How do you not score on 8 hits and 4 errors by the opposition? How do you leave 15 runners on base? 8 of them in scoring position. Grr . . . nevermind.....Game 2, coming up. Well that's the end of game 1. Diaz grounds into the game ending double play.

Game 1 was dreadful. I'm usually at work til about 6 or so. I don't think I'll catch much of this game on TV. I feel like the Braves are feeling better for this game. Game 1 was dreadful.

Still a crazy day. Game 1 was absolutely pitiful. It was painful to get through. when you're averaging leaving 5 runners on base every 3 innings and don't score one run, something's wrong.

We're not thinking....we're not playing fundamentals when we need to be. No clutch offense and sometimes we just need to play small ball. We need to get runners aboard with less than two outs and then learn how to just hit singles and get the ball into the outfield with runners in scoring position. I think that's a big key right now.

Huddy is doing a great job. And Kotsay's bat seems to have woken up.
