Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves, Sep 19, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
Almost one week after officially striking the killing blow on the 2009 Mets, Pedro Martinez can strike a near-fatal blow against the second place Braves tonight in Atlanta.
His talk will be made that much more difficult by his opponent - Javier Vazquez - who has compiled quite a season himself.
Discuss the game below.

Prado really had to dive for that. It was ripped.

Martin Prado, mediocre defensive 2B, doing something above-and-beyond his ability against the Phils yet again.

Like a HR off the bat. I thought it was gone, I swear, but didn’t even come close to the warning track.
Nice moist night in ATL, radar looks clear in the short term, but we better get Gramps oiled up.

It was a mess, but Pedro
weaseled out with just the one run. Not bad so far. He’s getting strikes and the first two hits were strange ones. He’s not getting smoked.

One run is nothing, that is actually really awesome considering it was 3 straight hits before any outs

A very un-Werthlike at bat there.
Vasquez has to be at 60+ pitches. The second inning was a thing of beauty, in terms of working counts. Too bad the Phillies didn’t follow up on that this past half.

Perhaps it wasn’t such a brilliant idea to leave your 37 year old pitcher in for 130 pitches in his last start. I guess we will know more clearly when the details of the injury are revealed.

Hopefully it was the same situation as Happ last night — they’re just being cautious.
