The Braves' outfield had a weird night defensively, and that coupled with the dominance of the one called MAD BUM made this one uninteresting early. Medlen was up in the zone all night, and the Braves' hitters couldn't seem to grasp the fact that when a pitch is near the edge of the strikezone, MAD BUM is going to get the call. The only positive to take away from this is that MAD BUM is the toughest pitcher we'll face this series, and while Gaudin's numbers look good, most of that has come in a relief role.
Overall, tonight was one of the season's most forgettable games, so there's no sense in dissecting it. They still have a great chance to take two of three. And, hey, the Nationals lost tonight too, so there's that.
