"Twice Friday night, Brian McCann came up with huge hits to tie the game on the Florida Marlins. Once on a three-run homer in the seventh, and again with a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth.

But with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, he failed to catch a high fastball from closer Billy Wagner that outweighed anything, in his mind, that he did with the bat.

The Braves lost to the Marlins 7-6 after a passed ball helped the Marlins tie the game and a Donnie Murphy single won it. Afterward, McCann sat dejected at the post-game dinner table in the Braves locker room.

"I don't know how I didn't catch that ball," McCann said. "The play has to be made…. It's the game. It's the ninth inning, bases loaded two outs. My job is to catch the ball in that situation."

With Donnie Murphy at the plate, facing a 1-0 count, McCann momentarily lost track of a fastball that skipped off the top of his outstretched glove and to the backstop as Emilio Bonifacio scored from third ahead of his throw back to Wagner covering home plate."
