[Hulavol]

Acuna gonna hit some dingers……and the Braves will roll.

[msstate7]

When's the time to start to panic? Braves trail Mets by 7 games. RD difference between the 2 teams is 50. 50!

[bravesfanforlife88]

Can we move everyone in the lineup behind Acuña down to 9

[thewupk]

When's the time to start to panic? Braves trail Mets by 7 games. RD difference between the 2 teams is 50. 50!

With the expanded playoffs there is no need for any kind of panic right now.

[CyYoung31]

With the expanded playoffs there is no need for any kind of panic right now.

Right. But, for the division? It’s time to be concerned. Maybe not panic. But, concerned.

[TURBO]

safe

[msstate7]

Acuna, please don't steal 2b

[msstate7]

Snit, make Olson sac bunt

[VirginiaBrave]

The Brewers still wearing an Aaron patch, interesting.

[VirginiaBrave]

That was a ball...da....!!!

[msstate7]

Ozzie is so bad

[The Chosen One]

The Brewers still wearing an Aaron patch, interesting.

did they wear one last year

[Garmel]

Great at bats, guys.

[msstate7]

Ozuna AB was pretty good despite the really bad end, but Ozzie's was just horrible. That dude has no patience.

[msstate7]

Another loss. You can tell a win or loss after being the braves early

[thewupk]

Right. But, for the division? It’s time to be concerned. Maybe not panic. But, concerned.

playoffs are all that matter if im being honest

[msstate7]

The most disappointing thing is you know houser is going 6 scoreless now

[msstate7]

Anytime you see Olson raise his glove, you just have to say a quick prayer

[VirginiaBrave]

did they wear one last year

I think they had some memorials.

[msstate7]

Generous call, but they got some too. Great job, Davidson

[msstate7]

The most disappointing thing is you know houser is going 6 scoreless now

That's 2 scoreless

[msstate7]

That's 2 scoreless

Only chance it doesn't reach at least 5 is if Acuna hits a hr

[msstate7]

Jordan is exactly right... other teams are trying to hit open holes while the braves just continue to swing hard as they can. The braves have a horrible approach, and it's why they have a horrible record

[msstate7]

Wow, not sure it holds up

[msstate7]

Dansby is a BA

[CyYoung31]

Looked safe.

[Hudson2]

Dansby is slick with the glove

[thewupk]

Swanson is an A+ defender this year

[thewupk]

Jordan is exactly right... other teams are trying to hit open holes while the braves just continue to swing hard as they can. The braves have a horrible approach, and it's why they have a horrible record

I try to hit open holes too

[CyYoung31]

playoffs are all that matter if im being honest

I’d like to have the best chance at repeating.

[msstate7]

That's 2 scoreless

That's 3 scoreless... 19 overall if you keeping score

[CyYoung31]

This ump sucks.

[thewupk]

I’d like to have the best chance at repeating.

making the playoffs gives us the best chance at repeating

[thewupk]

lol no way the Braves score with a zone that big

[Garmel]

I try to hit open holes too

Leave Cy's mom out of this.

[CyYoung31]

Matt Olson?

More like Matt ULCER.

[msstate7]

lol no way the Braves score with a zone that big

They haven't scored in 18.2 innings. 2 of those innings started with a runner at 2nd

[msstate7]

Good PA, Olson. Can't believe I said that

[VirginiaBrave]

I’d like to have the best chance at repeating.

Something we agree on. An 88-win season is pretty crappy but at least it won a division and felt like an earned playoff spot.

[msstate7]

Jordan is really bad 80% of the time, but he does have some good insight on things like Riley opening up

[msstate7]

19 straight scoreless innings

[thewupk]

Got Eric Gregg back there

[CyYoung31]

Here’s a photo of the ump behind the plate tonight:

https://images.findagrave.com/photos250/photos/2006/155/14519328_114955651969.jpg

[msstate7]

95. I don't remember Davidson throwing 95

[msstate7]

It would be nice if some of our guys would drop a bunt every now and then

[jsebe10]

God please mute Moylan….”Tucka”

[CyYoung31]

I can’t wait to see Phil Cuzzi’s scorecard for tonight

[msstate7]

Welp, here comes the death blow for tonight

[msstate7]

Wow, good job, Davidson

[thewupk]

Welp, here comes the death blow for tonight

https://memegenerator.net/img/instances/81940993.jpg

[msstate7]

https://memegenerator.net/img/instances/81940993.jpg

Maybe that fail by the brewers will end the fail streak of the braves

[msstate7]

The most disappointing thing is you know houser is going 6 scoreless now

That's 4.

Braves 20 straight scoreless innings

[thewupk]

albies blows

[msstate7]

Brian Jordan calling pitching, but our hitters can't

[CyYoung31]

What the hell is going on with this team? We’re early on fastballs right down the middle like we’re geared up for breaking stuff on 3-ball counts.

[thewupk]

Brian Jordan calling pitching, but our hitters can't

Jordan would suck so bad in todays game

[thewupk]

What the hell is going on with this team? We’re early in fastballs right down the middle like we’re geared up for breaking stuff on 3-ball counts.

Curse of Freddie Freeman

[msstate7]

Jordan would suck so bad in todays game

We have duvall, TD, and ozuna as our starting OFs. He'd be our best OF

[CyYoung31]

And another K looking on a hittable pitch. Im starting to think that this is a certified choke job happening before our very eyes.

[UNCBlue012]

We know none of this is legit but sheesh. What a weird stretch

[msstate7]

And another K looking on a hittable pitch. Im starting to think that this is a certified choke job happening before our very eyes.

They just aren't very good. Last year, even when they were having struggles, they still had a positive RD. They're -15 this year

[thewupk]

We have duvall, TD, and ozuna as our starting OFs. He'd be our best OF

Not say much

[msstate7]

Not say much

Someone should tell AA

[UNCBlue012]

We really need robo-umps.

[TURBO]

This ump sucks

[msstate7]

Braves negative RD
4 games under .500
Lead mlb in Ks

This is a bad team

[CyYoung31]

This blind mother ****er has now shrunk the strike zone to the size of a pea.

[thewupk]

Braves negative RD
4 games under .500
Lead mlb in Ks

This is a bad team

We need an entirely new outfield again.

[UNCBlue012]

I’ve legitimately never seen anything like this from a major-league umpire.

[msstate7]

Don't beat yourself up, Davidson... the braves aren't scoring unless this game bout 20 innings. You're in a no-win situation

[msstate7]

We need an entirely new outfield again.

Yes, yes they do. Acuna will fill one spot soon, so need 2 guys

[thewupk]

lol wow

[CyYoung31]

None of this is Davidson’s fault.

[msstate7]

Have a guy ready next inning

[thewupk]

None of this is Davidson’s fault.

the ump card on this guy is going to be so bad

[msstate7]

The braves are gonna swing away this inning after the zone shrunk

[CyYoung31]

I think Phil Cuzzi might be a cheating SOB.

How he calls this next inning from Houser will tell it.

[thewupk]

550 OPS from duvall. lmao

[CyYoung31]

550 OPS from duvall. lmao

Hanging breaking ball hitter only. His bat speed is gone. He’s Dan Uggla at the plate, without the ability to take a walk.

[thewupk]

Hanging breaking ball hitter only. His bat speed is gone. He’s Dan Uggla at the plate.

struggla like uggla

[msstate7]

Acuna, it's up to you. No walks.... swing away

[thewupk]

This is our only change to score this game

[msstate7]

Snit, have a reliever up.

[msstate7]

Damn, great read by duvall

[thewupk]

A Wild Run Has Appeared!

[CyYoung31]

Oh my god. A run.

[msstate7]

Olson, just stand there.. maybe they'll walk you

[CyYoung31]

A Wild Run Has Appeared!

Someone needs to turn up the encounter rate.

[UNCBlue012]

this offense is just so much better with Ronald

[thewupk]

lmao is it that dangerous of a lineup Chip?

[thewupk]

lmao Olson blows

[msstate7]

Olson, just stand there.. maybe they'll walk you

^^^ seriously, this guy is a plague from God poured on the braves

[CyYoung31]

Can someone call up thewupk’s mom for me? I’ll take the AIDS.

[msstate7]

Can someone call up thewupk’s mom for me? I’ll take the AIDS.

AIDS will take a few years to kill you. Watching Olson every night will have us dead by august

[CyYoung31]

AIDS will take a few years to kill you. Watching Olson every night will have us dead by august

I thought the deal was AIDS for cutting ties with Olson?

[msstate7]

I thought the deal was AIDS for cutting ties with Olson?
Dude is so bad

[msstate7]

Snit, you aren't getting another run. Make the move now

[WaitingFor2017]

Here comes dinosaur Snit trying to get Tucker a win when Tucker shouldn't face this lineup a 3rd time.

[msstate7]

Damn, who was running for the brewers, Olson?

[msstate7]

Great play, Riley. Good catch, Olson... I don't take it for granted

[UNCBlue012]

I like Oly a lot but dude has some of the least clutch at-bats

[msstate7]

Great job, Davidson

[msstate7]

Man, at least we aren't the Red Sox

[CyYoung31]

I like Oly a lot but dude has some of the least clutch at-bats

To be fair, it was hit decently the other way, but right at the only guy on that side of the infield.

[msstate7]

To be fair, it was hit decently the other way, but right at the only guy on that side of the infield.

He was doing exactly what I was asking for in the 2nd inning - hit at the holes. He just can't aim any better than he can catch lol

[msstate7]

Sigh

[msstate7]

Ozzie, run. Great AB though

[CyYoung31]

Great AB.

[UNCBlue012]

Ozzie has the absolute worst and best at-bats

[msstate7]

Former miss state bulldog (renfroe) helping out

[Garmel]

Dead ball cost us a run.

[msstate7]

Dead ball cost us a run.

Might be equal. Tellez drive kinda died

[jsebe10]

And this is why people who say Contreras should get more consistent ABs need to shut the Fck up

[jsebe10]

I know our offense is ****…but it’s crazy to see the Brewers who have bomb ass pitching staff and have such sh*tty hitters.

[msstate7]

Don't pull a hammy ozuna. Jeez

[msstate7]

Atta boy, AJ

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Acuna.

Olson, try not to suck

[CyYoung31]

My 2 week old son just watched that Olson AB and it turned him gay.

[msstate7]

Too bad Olson can't even advance the runner. Watching him seriously makes wanna gouge my eyes out

[Hudson2]

Ozuna crushed that!

[msstate7]

Ozuna!

[thewupk]

BIG DICK FLY

[CyYoung31]

That ball was ****ed.

[jsebe10]

Man he **** on that

[CyYoung31]

109 mph on that Ozuna bomb.

[msstate7]

Why isn't heredia out there?

[USMA76]

Ozuna is such a smooth defender; who needs his offense?

[msstate7]

Don't like lhp vs renfroe

[USMA76]

Renfroe didn't miss by much but miss he did...thankfully.

[CyYoung31]

Smith gonna blow another lead?

[Hudson2]

Smith is so nerve racking

[CyYoung31]

He’s pitching scared again because he’s not confident in his pitches. Judging by his HR/9 numbers I can’t blame him.

[UNCBlue012]

Thank God

[Hudson2]

Nice play Riley!

[CyYoung31]

Unbelievable.

[The Chosen One]

Chip: “ Austin Riley throws a strike to Matt Olson!”

on a ball that bounced a few times before it got to Olson.

[msstate7]

TD gave us a great run, but it's over. Let's see if waters can give us a run now till Harris is ready

[The Chosen One]

TD gave us a great run, but it's over. Let's see if waters can give us a run now till Harris is ready

Demeritte is a nice utility man to have. A solid 26th man on the roster.

[msstate7]

Demeritte is a nice utility man to have. A solid 26th man on the roster.

Then get rid of heredia. Either one fine with me.

[msstate7]

The brewers decided to walk 2 guys to get to Olson

[msstate7]

So bad. Can we please drop him in the lineup?

[UNCBlue012]

Freaking A, Matt. Just get a big hit

[jsebe10]

So bad. Can we please drop him in the lineup?

Yes for Christ sakes…

[msstate7]

Olson 10 for last 57

[jsebe10]

Freaking A, Matt. Just get a big hit

Sutter threw him a nut too…

[msstate7]

Chance to give Jansen another day off, but Olson...

[Runnin]

He's not as good a hitter as Freddie. Bat way too slow and seems to have only one swing and approach.

[CyYoung31]

Why is Snitker just putting Heredia in the game now?

After Ozuna made it a 3-0 game, the Braves were guaranteed to have scored at least two more runs if Ozuna’s spot came up again. Shouldn’t you make sure that you’re protecting the lead at that point?

Nice win. Great job, Davidson. Glad to see duvall have a good game

Much better when Emma and Elle show up and start bouncing around….

[zbhargrove]

He's not as good a hitter as Freddie. Bat way too slow and seems to have only one swing and approach.

Lordy you guys sure forgot how bad Freddie sucked to start last year

[Hudson2]

Lordy you guys sure forgot how bad Freddie sucked to start last year

They’ll be saying the complete opposite in a month when Olson is on a hot streak.

[Enscheff]

They’ll be saying the complete opposite in a month when Olson is on a hot streak.

They were actually saying opposite already last month when Olson was hitting well.

Most fans are idiots.

[msstate7]

Most fans are idiots.

Yes they are. I can't stand all these wild swing posts that change with every hot/cold streak. I really wish people would think more before they post like me

[msstate7]

Acuna in RF today. Sorta expected another day off, so hopefully we getting close to every day
