Braves Comeback To Beat The Phillies Behind Matt Diaz

PrintMatt Diaz broke out his first multi-hit game since returning from the disabled list on Tuesday night, including two doubles, the second of which drove in Yunel Escobar from first base in the eleventh inning for the winning run. Eric Hinske then followed with some added insurance runs in the form of a towering fly-ball two-run homerun (I forgot which ballpark this was for a moment). Billy Wagner then came on to pick up his 18th save of the year.
The Braves got the game started off right by loading the bases in the first inning, but Troy Glaus grounded into a double play and Yunel Escobar flied out with only one run scoring. Jair Jurrjens then gave up a homerun after a walk in the bottom half of the inning to give Philly the 2-to-1 lead.
The Braves tied it up in the fourth on a David Ross line drive, scoring Matt Diaz, who had doubled. Martin Prado put the Braves in front with a solo homerun in the fourth, but Jurrjens gave the lead right back. After another walk, Ryan Howard barely missed a homerun and ended up with a triple, scoring Raul Ibanez with no outs. With Howard on third and no outs Peter Moylan came on to strike out Jayson Werth, and then Jonny Venters got the two remaining outs. That began some great work by the Atlanta bullpen, which threw five innings of one-hit ball to finish out the game.
Jair Jurrjens pitched great, and really only made two mistakes, but like Derek Lowe last night, those mistakes were with runners on base and produced a maximum return on effort for Philadelphia. The Phillies had only three hits all night, and just two for the first ten innings. The lead-off walks also hurt Jurrjens, as two of his three bases on balls came around to score.
The Braves had plenty of chances to score, as they had 13 hits and 2 walks, but grounded into two double-plays and didn't do much hitting with runners on base (except for Matty Diaz, that is -- and HInske in the 11th).
Overall it was a terrific win for the Braves, who have a chance to win the series tomorrow. This wasn't a pretty win, but it got the job done, and I'll take it.

JJ was on point tonight....
How many times can you pitch a game when you give up more runs than hits. Only allowing two hits to the Phils equal a sick comeback by Jair Jurrjens.
My 4 guys (Hudson, Hanson, Meds, JJ) can take on anybody's 4 guys (the MLB) and Victory will be ours!

Great, great win.
A real gut check. JJ looked fine, the ‘pen picked him up when hefaltered just a little and we outlasted them, even after giving up a royal scoring opportunity on Larry’s boneheaded baserunning.
Awesome fans they’ve got. Run for the hills at the first opportunity.
Love that BMac catch in foul territory. All the guys along the railing yelling encouragement and “attaboys” while Hudson laughs at him for falling down.

He just decided to commit suicide, instead.
"Sometimes you forget, with all the nostalgia, just what a poor game manager Bobby is." - Fred Pen
Eh
You have to run at contact in that situation, especially since Yunel could ground into a double play, Chipper needs to hustle to score at least one run. Luck just didn’t go away and he got caught in a bad run down.
Not really much he can do about it, and I don’t think its a mistake either.
With no one out and the play right there beside you, you really shouldn’t go on contact, any more than you should try to go to third from second on a ball hit in front of you, for the same reason. If The Book says different, then it’s wrong. Maybe break if they try to go to second and start a DP but stay put otherwise.

Just wondering
Who catches if Ross and McCann get injured in the same game?kind of off topic but i’m curious

Well...
That’s why I qualified it.
Matt would be LOL worthy in catcher’s gear. Hudson would have to be hospitalized.

I’m getting that you don’t get the pictoral reference. Emergency! was a 1960s (maybe 70s- don’t know off the top of my head. I think the former) show centered around two parametics (here Diaz and Conrad) with two main doctors back at the hospital (Lowe and Huddy) and the last main figure was the head nurse (Haithcock). So in the metaphor only Brooksy and Diaz would put on gear because only Roy and Gage (the two parametics) went out to the field. Well most of the time anyway. Great show.
Get it?

Dude
I’m 42. That was my favorite show as a kid. John Gage was played by Randolph Mantooth, who was about the coolest guy on the planet in the mid 70’s and Roy DeSoto was played by Kevin Tighe, who has gone on to be a John Sayles regular, including in Eight Men Out and, more recently, as John Locke’s ass of a father on Lost. (I’m doing all of this from memory, btw…I won’t go on and talk about Dixie and the guy played by Bobby Troup who was Julie London’s real life husband, but I think you get the idea.)
So…yeah, I get it.
My observation still stands: Diaz would look, and be, hilarious in catcher’s gear.

I know I read something...
in the past week (while Ross had the dinged finger, and before Diaz was back from the DL), that the backups were Conrad and ….wait for it… Yunel!
I will try to find my source.

Good game by Matty
I hope it’s a sign of things to come because I really like him.
Another reason
Diaz is one of my favorite players. The guy just hustles so much and can come up clutch in big moments. Scoring Yunel from first was huge and just took everything out of the Phillies.
Credit to Jair for an absolutely fantastic game.
I just hope we can do better against Moyer than we did last time. I think he got a 2 hit shutout.
If Matty D can show up tomorrow liike tonight....
there should be no worries about Moyer. I have a feeling the lineup for the Good Guys will be
1. Prado
2. Infante
3. Chip
4. Glaus
5.. Mac
6. Esco
7. Matty D
8. Blanco
9. Meds
That’s just an educated guess.

There were a lot of crappy at-bats in this game,
led by Glaus with the bases loaded and no outs in the 1st and Escobar with runners on the corners and no outs in the 8th. But the pitching held the Phils in check long enough for us to get into the back end of the Philly pen. Great job by the relievers. And welcome back to the world of competent hitting, Matt Diaz! It’s great to have you!
Oh, and one note about Bobby’s bullpen management. I know it all worked out in the end, but he really should have used Wagner while it was still tied instead of waiting for the lead. We ended up having Chavez in there in a high-leverage situation and Wagner in a comparatively low-leverage situation (despite the “save”). That is sub-optimal, and could easily have cost us the game.

I'm not complaining, though, just to be clear.
Any game we beat the Phillies is a good game! Now lets win the series tomorrow—preferably without going to extra innings!

At home
I would agree with you about Wagner, but not on the road. I would rather save Wagner to close out the game if we took the lead, I would not want to have to ask Chavez to go out there in a save situation.
this
on the road, you get the opportunity to put your closer in once you take the lead. Also, chavez was in there to face the worst of the worst of the phillies lineup. After werth, he faced castro, valdez, and sardinha. I’d much rather have chavez face the bottom of a top-heavy lineup than let him in there in a save situation.
So you don’t have confidence in Chavez pitching with a lead, but you’re okay with him pitching in a tie? At least with a lead, if he gives up run(s) the game may still continue. If gives up run(s) in a tie, we lose.
Twitter: @Ben_Duronio
for the record, I’m not comfortable with chavez pitching at all. When he came in, I thought that bobby was sick of being at the ballpark and wanted to go home.
Your argument makes a lot of sense. The one thing I will say is that chavez can potentially do multiple innings. Not knowing the situation that would happen, you put your long man in to go until he’s tired and you need to go to the next one and you have your closer fresh to lock the game down after you score your runs.
You're absolutely correct
Saving the game is not as important as holding the lead.
Twitter: @Ben_Duronio
Surprisingly
Since I’m a Cox Strategy Skeptic and I make people sick of hearing me say “Sometimes the save is in the 6th or 7th inning”…I was okay with it.
Last at bat in that dump for the Phillies is always a higher stress situation than it might appear on paper.

Damn NL East....
Any other year, a record of 49-35 would result in a lead of at least 6 maybe 7 games but this year it’s only 2. I guess the other teams are forcing the Braves to earn the Division Crown. Let’s Go Bravos!

ESPN highlights in this game
included the Phillies bullpen and how they absolutely shut us down in the 8th when Contreras and Romero got out of a jam. A graphic and everything showcasing the Phillies bullpen. Then they casually mention how Diaz hit the game-winner.

How bout that ESPN?
Fuck Em!
Morton hit Heyward with an offspeed pitch. Early indication is that the baseball survived the impact.
This.
Yet another reason to watch MLB Network. Monday night they had HR and Joe Migrane (sp?) talking about the Braves v the Phillies. HR was still riding the Phillies train, but Joe goes flat out, if you want the most complete and balanced team in the NL East without question its Atlanta. That just made me realized how much better MLB Network is.
What?
ESPN didn’t highlight Chris Farley’s twin brother give up the homer to Hinske? Talk about crappy sports journalism.

How about Escobar?
Everyone is so eager to berate the guy when he has a bad game, how about a little love tonight. 2 for 5, scores the game winner from first on a double, and really kept the game from being a loss with 3 excellent defensive plays at SS that most shortstops in the league would not have made.
Absolutely.
I love Yunel.

1) Phillies fans know very little about baseball
2) TC wouldnt let me log in through Yahoo so I could drop in live during the OT
3) Theres a reason those girls work at the strip club on a Tuesday night
We have traded away great players for less than nothing and let Texierra walk away, and much much more so pray that Hayward is sent from God and that his energy can ignite the veterans and cause the younger players to hustle more and play winning baseball...

I’m traveling so I didn’t get to see the game so I had to catch the highlights on ESPN.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. They didn’t make ONE mention of Jurrjens giving up only 2 hits, focused most of the highlight on the Phillies shutting us down in the 8th and didn’t show Hinkse’s homer in the 11th. Wow. What a complete shit highlight. You would have thought from the segment that he Phillies were killing us.
