As New York Mets fans do more cartwheels in the streets like Steve Spurrier used to say about the Tennessee Volunteers going 7-5 and winning a bowl game, what a terrible ninth inning it was for the Atlanta Braves on Sunday Night Baseball.
- Atlanta was tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers heading into the final frame before the floodgates open for The Boys in Blue. The Bravos were engulfed by them.
Atlanta took the first two games of their four-game series at home over the Dodgers on Friday and Saturday night. With a chance at a series victory and sole possession of the last NL Wild Card spot in, the Braves threw up all over themselves. It all came down to a questionable managerial decision made by skipper Brian Snitker. He walked Shohei Ohtani to pitch to Mookie Betts. It was a disaster.
