BABIP beats bombs, Braves blitzed in 9-8 loss
Briefly

Look, baseball is a great game precisely because there's just enough stuff you can't control to make it non-deterministic and make pretty much every game worth watching. It's a formula that's made baseball an incredibly compelling spectator sport for over a century.
It's also a formula that can suck the will to live out of you when your team is hanging on for dear life due to macro-level stuff they can't control (like injuries) and a wholesale bungling of the stuff they can control over the course of the season.
You already know how this game went, so you know that in this case, the Braves had their day ruined by eight Rockies hits in the eighth, including six straight to take the lead.
