There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home. The Braves arrive back in Atlanta and start winning again. It looked like the Braves were going to get blanked, again, Jurrjens gave up a couple unearned runs early, hitters weren’t hitting, but thanks to some late inning heroics the Braves walk away with a win and a chance to climb in the standings.

This game really shouldn’t have been a surprise, facing a potent lineup, in a tiny park, a flyball pitcher on the mound, not exactly a winning setup. Besides, due to his shoulder, James wasn’t able to learn another pitch over the winter. So, we really should expect the same results we got last year. Tonight, we weren’t disappointed, in a few innings, several Phillies tore the cover off the ball.

Chuck James in Philadelphia? Oh, boy.
It was a long road, but Glavine finally got his first win since returning to the Braves. It wasn’t easy, he pitched a couple great games which led to no decisions, the pen blew a couple leads. Even this game didn’t come easy. The pen did everything in their power to blow it, but lucky for us, it’s hard to blow an eight run lead.

Is there a single team in baseball with a worse away record? Is there a team in baseball in baseball with a worse one run game? (Those are both rhetorical questions).

The announcers were talking about how it was good to go up against the Phillies with a lot of lefthanders. Maybe, but I’d prefer they not be fly-ball lefthanders, thanks.
Braves Report was mentioned in the ‘Shameless Plug’ section on yesterday’s House of Braves Talk weekly podcast.

Hopefully, this unblocks whatever mental block the Braves had and we can quit this Jekyll/Hyde home/away dichotomy. Anyway, we won six, then lost three, if we keep that going the rest of the season, we’ll be fine. But, I still worry that this team isn’t doing the “little things” right. Everyone seems to want to be the hero, no one wants to hit to the right side to get the runner over. Everyone seems to want to hit a home run, when a sac fly will do. But, a win is a win, and I will take it, even if it comes against the woeful Pirates.

They allowed eight hits. They even went so far as to commit four errors. With all this help, how many runs do you think the Braves managed to push across? None. That’s right, none. How does a team commit four errors without allowing an opponents to cross the plate? The Braves need to get this stick out of their… well you know, when it comes to away games.
