Manny Acosta the Braves A Win

Manny Acosta did pretty much everything wrong today. In two innings, he gave up two hits, five walks, and two runs. He also committed an error, threw a wild pitch and even started a double play. He managed not to hit a batter. The Braves took a 2-1 lead in the top of the twelfth, but Acosta's pitching allowed the Nationals to tie, then Carlyle gave up the game winning single. The Braves have yet to win a one-run game.

I was at this game, and thought it was pretty weird that Cox sent Acosta out to hit in the top of the 12th when they had a chance to crack the game wide open and put it out of reach. Granted Cox had used a lot of pitchers, but how many times do you let a reliever bat in the top of the 12th? I think you've got to try and salt the game away and not rely on one run. Double bite in the ass when Acosta blows it in the bottom of the inning.
