You think that's bad?
MLB.com has run a BeatTheStreak contest on their site for several years. It initially started with a $1million prize, but now has grown to a $5.6million prize. The goal is to choose any MLB player you'd like to get a hit on each day. Build a streak of 57 games and you win the prize.
Tonight, a guy with a 47 game hit streak chose Justin Upton. I believe the 47 was the longest streak in the history of the game, which has run for at least 7 years now, if not more.
For the record, my longest is 26.

Joyce missed one call... which didn't lead to anything at all.
He's one of the best in the business.
ETA: the only call I thought he missed bad was where the Marlin reached base on a 2-2 count (would have been strike 3) was at the bottom of the zone. Other than that, I thought he called a solid game (after the first inning).

I suppose so. That streak built up a big lead for us though. Minor on mound tomorrow so we should bounce back
Not tonight. He missed all 3 on Chris Johnson and then threw him out when he shouldn't have. On all right hand hitters he was way too wide though. Janish call to end game wasn't even close. He got uggla on another really wide one
Janish at bat

Walden is suppose to be ok in a few days from what I read on braves message board. Good deal
Our manager cost us the game.
Pinch hitting McCann to face Dunn was bad enough, but letting Janish bat in the bottom of the 9th is just idiotic. Might as well let the pitcher hit. any time Paul Janish is the last out in a 1 run game, then by definition the manager lost the game.
the only reason Janish is even on the roster is to save face for having signed him in the offseason. should have just cut him, but somebody didn't have the stones. it's not like he's Simmons good with the glove, there's just no reason to be carrying him.
