After just one half an inning in Atlanta, Florida has already plated 3 runs. Not a good start for Braves rookie pitcher, Brandon Beachy. Leading 1-0, Marlin Mike Stanton drove in 2 additional fish with an RBI double down the left field line.
This one started to feel like the Braves were in trouble, before the popcorn man could advertise his presence at the Ted. (Cold beer, anybody?)
But, Martin Prado and Nate McLouth decided to bring their bats, tonight. The first and second batters in the Braves first inning produced back to back singles. With runners on first and third, Chipper Jones didn't wait long, to drive in his 1,501 RBI. Facing a 3-2 count, Larry sent an RBI single through the right side of the infield.
Brian McCann followed with a 3 run blast over the right field fence. After a discouraging start, Atlanta leads 4-3 after one inning of play.
Go Braves!

Ball 4. PH Buckner Conrad to bat with 2 outs and bases full of Braves.
Big at bat for Buckner, who wildly swings and misses first pitch.
Conrad flies out to Chris Coghlan. At this point, I'm tired of typing damn. But, DAMN. Braves wasted a grand opportunity to score some runs
5-5 going into 7th.
Fish 7th inning notes:
G Sanchez 1 out single.
PH Wes Helms - single. Fish on
1st and 2nd.
Buck (wish it was Belue) now batting.
RBI single by Buck. 6-5 Fish. Marlins on 1st and 3rd with 1 out.

Pitching change currently being made.
So far, the 7th inning sucks. Linebrink pitching for Braves.
Scott strikes a Marlin out. 2 down, Fish still on corners.
Inning over. Martin Prado, N8 Mclouth, Chipper Jones to bat for Braves in 7th.
At the moment, bad guys lead 6-5.
It's time to Tomahwak across some runs! Dunn (former Bravo) on mound for Sunshine Staters. Prado nearly drilled. But, Mike evens count to 1-1 on next pitch. Prado then flies out to Marlin Mike.
"Tomahwak" outta be Tomahawk. While I'm correcting my spelling,
N8 McLouth has just struck out.
The Braves 3rd baseman now bats with 2 outs. Hope this guy knows what he's doing.
Nothin doin' for Braves in 7th. Jones flies out to end inning. Fish 6... Atlanta 5.
8th inning highlight: Fish DON'T SCORE.
Middle of Atlanta's lineup to bat in bottom 8th. 6-5 Florida and this could be Atlanta's best remaining chance to GET SOME RUNS!
Go Braves!
McCann strikes out. Uggla up to bat vs a currently sprinting onto the field fish pitcher. More details in a bit.
Hensley... whoever that is will attempt to shut the Bravos down. So far, so good for Clay. Dan flies out.
Heyward the HR kid steps into the batter's box.
Jason grounds out. Going into 9th inning, it kinda feels like the
11th hour for Braves fans. Fish have Bravos on the ropes of defeat.
Whatever happens, at least we ain't dastardly Mets fans. As I mentioned earlier, they lost 2X today. We can only lose once.
But, it ain't over yet...Starting to lose hope, but I still faintly believe.
Kimbrel on the mound.
Pesky at bat by Cousins. Dude fouled off about 2,000 pitches, then drilled a lead off single through Atlanta's infield.
Cleat high slidin' Cousins caught stealing. Uggla, speared by spikes, made the tag.
Then, some other Marlin struck out. Inning over, fat lady seeking permission to sing.
Braves must score or lose. Leo Nunez on mound for Florida.
LEADOFF 1B by A Gonzalez. Tying run 270 feet away. Freeman takes ball 1.
Cousins 8th inning single was with 1 out, not none. My bad.
Freddie drilled one, but the result was just a noisy first out.
PH Matt Young batting with AG on
1B.
Young hits one to Han Ram. AG out at 2nd. Young on 1st.
2 gone for Bravos. Prado due to connect on a clutch hit. 0-1 to Martin.
Prado grounds out to end game. See ya'll tomorrow.
