Chipper Jones woke up from a nap to a Braves meltdown: 'OMG'
Share this @internewscast.com

Chipper Jones couldn’t believe the Braves’ ugly collapse against the Diamondbacks on Thursday. 

With Atlanta holding a six-run lead after seven innings against Arizona, the baseball Hall of Famer felt assured that his former team would secure a win and stave off a three-game sweep.

“Today is a good day…..9-3 good guys!” Jones wrote on X. 

The Braves’ lead looked so safe, Jones moseyed off for a midday siesta.

A couple of hours later, Jones awoke to some terrible news. 

“Omg……9-3……nap…….11-10!” Jones wrote on the platform. 

However, even though they were ahead 9-3 at the start of the eighth inning and 10-4 with one out in the ninth, the Braves ultimately suffered an 11-10 defeat following a stunning comeback by the Diamondbacks.

Arizona tallied five hits, including two home runs, and two walks during the seven-run rally to shock the Braves on their home field. 

Entering the ninth inning, the Braves, leading 10-4, had a 99.9 percent chance of winning, per MLB.com. 

Before Thursday, the Diamondbacks were 0-419 in games when they were down six or more runs after the eighth inning. 

This marked the first instance since July 17, 1973—when Jones, who spent his full 19-year MLB career in Atlanta, was just a 1-year-old—that the Braves relinquished a ninth-inning lead of six runs or more and were defeated.

The devastating loss adds to what has been a miserable season for the Braves. 

It was Atlanta’s fourth straight defeat, dropping it to 27-34 on the season. 

The Braves are sitting in fourth place in the National League East with the fourth-worst record in the senior circuit after coming into the season with World Series aspirations.
