Braves Rally For 7-6 Win On Reviewed McCann Walkoff Homer

PrintThank God for instant replay! For the first time since the replay system was instituted, the Braves had a significant call up for video review. And boy, was it significant. With the score tied 6-6 with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Brian McCann hit a line shot that clearly hit off the top of the right-field wall, bounced off the back wall, then back onto the field. At Turner Field, that is a home run--and a pretty obvious one--but the first-base ump, a rookie, either wasn't familiar with the Ted's double-wall or didn't see it hit off the back wall. He ruled it a double.
Fortunately, the crew chief went to review the play, and after a couple minutes of suspense, McCann finally got to finish rounding the bases. It was the ultimate in delayed gratification, but I'm sure it was no less sweet despite that.
The Braves trailed 6-1 for most of the game before rallying for 6 runs in the last two innings thanks to the Marlins' weak bullpen and horrific defense. Eric Hinske drove in a run in the 8th off of Will Ohman to make it 6-2. Then, on a slow roller by Melky Cabrera, Marlins first-baseman Gaby Sanchez couldn't handle the throw from our old pal Wes Helms, allowing two huge runs to score.
After Takashi Saito threw a scoreless top half of the 9th, the Braves went right back to work against Marlins closer Leo Nunez. Brooks Conrad worked that bullpen-killer, the leadoff walk. That brought up pinch-hitter and Destroyer of Marlins Matt Diaz. Matty D smoked a ball to the opposite field for a two-run, game-tying homer. It was a huge, huge play even if it was soon overshadowed.
Though Saito got the "win", the best pitching on the Braves' side was by Christhian Martinez, who fulfilled his long-man role to perfection, going 4 innings while giving up only 2 hits and 1 run. He kept the Braves close enough that they could come back, and that turned out to be huge. Great job, Christhian, even if your WPA wasn't very good.
Another pat on the back goes to Bobby Cox, who proved once again that Chipper Jones' "Momentum-Turn Hypothesis" has some basis in fact. Bobby got tossed protecting Eric Hinske after Hinske was called out on a borderline check-swing strikeout. Hinske was going ballistic, and Bobby may just have saved him from being tossed. That turned out to be huge because Hinske drove in the Braves' second run later on, and possibly contributed to the Braves' inspired comeback. Yet another reason why we love Bobby.
More after the jump...
The Braves seemed lifeless for much of the first 7 innings, thanks largely to Josh Johnson. Johnson struggled a bit with his command early but settled in. He gave up only 1 (unearned) run in 6 innings, with 3 hits, 3 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Had the Braves not rallied, he would have been the story of the game, but as it is, he's basically a side note. Sorry, Josh, but it's better this way.
His counterpart, Derek Lowe, pitched very poorly. He gave up a 3-run homer to Hanley Ramirez before he'd even recorded an out in the first inning, then a 2-run single by Chad Tracy in the third inning. Lowe actually got somewhat lucky, too, as he gave up 9 baserunners (6 hits and 3 walks) in 3 innings. He got only 4 ground balls (compared to 5 line drives), good for only 36%. Clearly his sinker wasn't working today, though he did somehow strike out 4.
The Braves did get a lift when Ramirez left the game in the 3rd inning after apparently losing his breath and becoming dizzy while on the bases. Considering what he did while he was in the game (2/2 with the 3-run bomb), that probably helped the Braves win (though his replacement, Donnie Murphy, did drive in the Marlins' last run with a triple).
All in all, it was just one more thrilling comeback for a team that seems to rally from a big deficit on a weekly basis. And what's more, we somehow won the series. After how bad this team looked on Friday (and most of today), a series win is pretty dang sweet.

Just seems like it is truly meant to be this year, GO BRAVES ! No need for instant replay on Big Mac Homer although I am truly glad that we now have it in baseball for sure. Marlins bullpen strikes again, what else can you say great game, great series.

That was absolutely awesome
Any other ump, except maybe Jim Joyce, and I would’ve been nervous and preparing a conniption. With Timmy Mack on the case, I knew it was just a matter of him seeing it once.

We can all agree that Joyce blew a ten foot johnson on that perfect game.
But he has been consistently rated one of the best in the game since he came into the league, and I think he was STILL rated the best by the players even after that blown call.
The way he manned up to his mistake got me misty eyed. Pretty impressive IMO.

Easy.
He gave up a run early, when the Braves had a relatively good chance of coming back, and didn’t really get a chance to make up that difference because all of his innings were low leverage. The longer the game went on at 6-1, the less important his outs were, so the less credit WPA gave him. That’s not really his fault, though, which is why I put him in the HM section.
WPA is a fun stat, and it tells us a fair amount about an individual game, but it has the same context-dependency issues that RBI and pitcher wins have, so I wouldn’t worry about an aberrant number too much.

On our way back from cincy today and could not listen to more than one or two batters at a time without getting pissed and turning it off. Arrived home, refused to watch the end and went to ride my bike. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Was hoping the Pads would help out, but hopefully the Dodgers can. Braves gotta keep it going against the Mets!
Wish I didn’t pass out in the 5th.

I’m rooting for most of the leading teams in the NL to lose, for that reason or similar ones.
The Cards covered themselves in rhino shit this weekend, too. Too bad there wasn’t a fight in that game today. It had all the makings of a doozy.

yeah
replay went into effect 8/28/2008
McCann capped a stunning comeback with a replay-assisted homer that gave Atlanta a 7-6 victory over the Marlins on Sunday – the first time a game ended on a call using video.
Without it, McCann might have only gotten credit for a double and the game would have continued on. Instead, he was jumping into the arms of his teammates after the umps took a second look, taking advantage of a limited replay rule that went into effect two years earlier almost to the day – Aug. 28, 2008 – to make sure they got these sort of calls right.
Atlanta Hawks=the team that drafted big $$$$$$$$$ instead of big men.

On a side note
I went to the Omaha Royals game today and got to see some former Braves.
I came away less than impressed with former Braves prospect Tim Collins. He ended up with a blown save and took the loss, 1 inning, 2 hits, 2 runs, 1 BB, 2 K’s.
Scott Thorman on the other hand went 4-5 and hit for the cycle.
Do you
have a typo? Scott Thorman? Baseball is weird…

That is why I never leave early...
I was at the game this afternoon and we saw a bunch of people leave early. I would hate to be those people now.
Also, that two run error in the eighth to me was the biggest play of the game. It made the ninth possible. I still can’t believe that ninth though. Let’s hope we can get hot now and put some pressure on the Phillies.
In other news
R. Delgado pitched 6 perfect innings for Mississippi. He gave up 1 bunt single in the top of the 7th and 2 BB later in the same frame. He pulled out after pitched 7 2/3.
I can't wait to see that kid.
When he comes into Turner for the first time, I hope thay have him walk in on a bed of rose petals.

I watched the end of the game about 3AM.
Those Marlins TV guys are such schmucks. On ball 4 to Brooks in the 9th, the guy goes, “I don’t even need to look at FOX Trax (an insane piece of shit these guys treat as the holy grail of strike zones) to know that one was a strike!”
So they put up the graphic. It was completely out of the zone. I cracked up.
I started watching in the top of the 9th and you could tell that the Marlins guys didn’t really believe in their team’s ability to win that game. They sounded pretty resigned to the fact that we were going to come back and win even before we did.
