Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez had some awfully nice things to say about the Astros (and the danger of Carlos Lee being the tying run in the bottom of the 9th):
These guys [Astros] — I know it’s a young season but you look up at the scoreboard and everybody’s hitting .360. Everybody has a a terrific approach at the plate, those young kids over there. And the last thing you want to see in the game is Carlos Lee at the plate with him being the tying run and some pretty decent numbers against Kimbrel. So I’m glad we got out of there without anything getting too crazy in the ninth.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
