Prado's Hit Gives Braves Another Walk-off Win Over Giants

PrintFor the second night in a row, the Braves defeat the Giants in walk-off fashion.
Martin Prado's 11th-inning single gave the Braves a 2-1 victory in Randall Delgado's second major-league start.
From the start, Delgado was incredible. He retired the side on nine pitches in the first inning, struck out four in the game and walked only one hitter, but he was erased on a nifty double play in the fourth.
The Braves offense gave Delgado a 1-0 lead in the third. Jose Constanza reached on a bunt single against Jonathan Sanchez and scored on Michael Bourn's single off Guillermo Mota. Sanchez had to be pulled from the game after injuring his left ankle on Delgado's sacrifice bunt earlier in the inning.
Delgado cruised through six innings without allowing a single hit. That all changed in the seventh when Cody Ross belted a home run leading off the inning to tie the game. Delgado was immediately pulled having thrown only 74 pitches.
When the Braves failed to score in the ninth, they began play in their 22nd extra-inning game of the season. Arodys Vizcaino held the Giants in check while the Braves offense went to work in the 11th. Brooks Conrad hit a one-out double off Javier Lopez and one out later, Prado delivered the game-winning hit. Vizcaino earned the win, the first of his career.
The Braves extended their Wild Card lead to six games while also gaining a game in the division.

delgado..wow
he had 6 pitches tonight…both sides of the plate and even though ross hit a BOMB, that was the only ball hit with real authority all night. as bad as the giants offence is right now, that was a glimpse into the other guy behind julio t and mr v
Delgado could have gone 9 tonight...
His stuff was great and his pitch count was low.

I am less filled with rage tonight, perhaps because I didn’t watch the game. Today was one of those days where the bad news seemed to pile on, so I made an effort to distance myself from the game itself, and that seemed to work out all right.

I don’t think many people expect them to defend, but Christ Almighty are the wheels falling off for them.
Don and Jim were trying to say that they were getting to the point where the Braves were when they entered the playoffs last year, but frankly, I think there’s no question that this latest run of SF injuries is worse than anything the Braves have endured in the last two years.

Eh, I may be misremembering.
Still, they’ve had their entire positional core decimated by injuries. Braves starters have missed some time, but we’ve also got more pitching depth than any other organization in the majors. (Which, admittedly, is due to good work by the front office.)
Prado transcends space and time.
And please, don’t refer to the guy as “Odarp.” Aside from being the lamest “nickname” ever, Prado is too cool of a name to fuck up. Some guys don’t need nicknames.

Apparently the comments about how much we love doing the chop because it annoys the ever loving fuck out of them got picked up by blog-grazers over there.

Let me ask you though, being completely objective, you really think the ‘SF’ logo is cooler than the ‘A’ ?
It’s one of the better ones, I’ll give you that. Like a cleaner version of the StL logo.

Completely objectively, I really do prefer the interlocking SF. I can’t explain it very well, but it has a lot to do with the aesthetics of it. I think there’s also a sense of identity attached to it as well, because those two letters joined in just that way are symbols of San Francisco itself. They’re recognizable, just like the old English D for Detroit, or (shudder) the interlocked LA for Los Angeles. There’s a lot I like about that particular logo, and I’m glad it’s one of the elements that has stayed with the team since its move west.
