C'mon R case, Kelly dropped the ball that would have won the game, but it could happen to anyone.  He does need a bigger glove though.  That glove was tiny.  I don't think anyone was more frustrated than me, not even Bobby Cox or Kelly. 

I'm very upset that Tim Hudson didn't get the win.  The Braves played horibble from every aspect yesterday.  The whole team lost this game yesterday including Bobby with his stupid decisions.  I mean letting Boyer pitch when you have Soriano, and then Boyer walks two and one ends up scoring.

Kelly Johnson has played exceptional defense since moving to second base. For being a 2 year player at the position, he is fine. I play second base, and let me tell you, that is by far the hardest catch to make for a second basemen. You have the first basemen and the right fielder coming at you, and you are moving to your left and backwards. He should have caught the ball and used two hands, but he didn't. I can bet Kelly will use two hands from now on.
In regards to the comment about Blaine Boyer, he didn't do that bad. In the walk he gave up to Jenkins, he was missing but missing by an eyelash and low. Missing lower is better then missing high and watching that ball land 20 rows up in right field.

well that may be the supposed toughest catch for a 2nd baseman or whatever but it was routine and he is a professional baseball player......i know it happens to everyone but don't make excuses for him as i am sure he didn't make any and just took it like a man.

as for Boyer i said on another thread that if kelly would have made the catch no one would have been complaining about the walks. boyer did his job and got 3 outs without giving up a run but the Phillies got to work with 4 outs that inning

No, but if Boyer hadn't walked those guys, they would have never scored.  Yes Kelly would have made that catch 99.9 percent of the time, and should have; but I think you gotta blame this loss on the entire team's play in yesterday's game.  They was horrible.

I was there last night and I ahve to say that I was highly disappointed in the outcome of the game.  Kelly should have made that play.  His defense is good enough.  NOt spectacular but good enough.  I don't know why we bring acosta into pressure situations anymore.  He's a 6th or 7th inning guy, not 8th+.  As for Soriano, I understand why Bobby's not running him out there night in night out.  He just came back from missing 45 games.  He has to work his way back in.  The last thing we need is for him to go down with another injury.  Still, let's hope for a speedy return from Gonzo.

Oh yeah, and to hell with Victorino.  This guy has been a bane to my existence for a while now.  I was agressively heckleing him all night and sure enough, he comes through twice.  Damn his oily hide!

are we watching the same kelly? He has no ability to the left, and is a liability on D?
