UPDATED

HulaVol playing first place broom duty.

[nsacpi]

expecting a yuge game from Acuna

[The Chosen One]

Will Gausman have more hits than Swanson?

[Julio3000]

Gotta say I am loving the pulp-horror GDT titles.

[UNCBlue012]

expecting a yuge game from Acuna

Why yes, water is wet.

[Hulavol]

Funny Hunch Albies has a big, big game.....

[Enscheff]

I took Freeman and Markakis in BTS today.

[Tapate50]

I took Freeman and Markakis in BTS today.

FF is back to heating up over his last 10 or so. Solid choice.

[msstate7]

I like to keep up with Swanson, albies, Acuna, Camargo, and newcomb's WAR. While doing this, I've noticed baseball reference likes our players much better than fangraphs. In fact, all of the above's bWAR is higher than their fWAR. Why is this?

I'd guess that for the position guys that they grade out much better in DRS than UZR. For Newk it's probably him out performing his FIP (haven't looked so I can't confirm this)

It is certainly this....

[bravesfanMatt]

MLB has wonder twin hitting 5th and playing 3rd. Not Jo-gun.

Anyone seen if this is just rest or something more serious. I know jo-gun likes to trip over lines and hurt his knee.

[Hulavol]

Just updated- don't know why Camargo got scratched....

[Mrs. Meta]

Gotta say I am loving the pulp-horror GDT titles.

and I'm loving you harder than I ever have.

[CyYoung31]

Just updated- don't know why Camargo got scratched....

Well, why don’t you go find out? It’s getting dark out there.

[Julio3000]

and I'm loving you harder than I ever have.

Careful...my bones.

[Mrs. Meta]

Careful...my bones.

...and my boner(s).

[chipchildress]

I took Freeman and Markakis in BTS today.

rational :thumbsup

[bravesfanMatt]

Get this game started...

[Tapate50]

Not sure there was a pitch really close in that first ab

[bravesfanMatt]

Gausman missing arm side consistently.

[UNCBlue012]

Dang. Bad start.

[Braves1976]

Why did he give him a fastball down the middle 1-2. Had him set up for the off-speed after busting him inside on that fastball.

[bravesfanMatt]

Dang. Bad start.

I am going to predict 1 run doesn't win this game... hopefully He has found his fastball.. the one to Anderson for the single was not bad..

[UNCBlue012]

I am going to predict 1 run doesn't win this game... hopefully He has found his fastball.. the one to Anderson for the single was not bad.. Good regroup by Gaus!

[Heyward]

Gotta score to win, hopefully Gaus can get into a rhythm now.

[CyYoung31]

WTF

[Orphan Black]

WTF

yeah this game is going to turn ugly

[Tapate50]

Drill em all! Head shots

[Braves1976]

time to kick some ass!

[CrimsonCowboy]

That was one of the dirtiest things I’ve ever seen

[Garmel]

Acuna might have something broken.

[Tapate50]

Purely intentional

[UNCBlue012]

Someone beat the **** out of Urena.

[Julio3000]

That’s a chump move.

[Orphan Black]

Urena should be tossed. there doesn't need to be a warning on something like that.

[Tapate50]

“Eat a d-i-c-k p-u-s-s-y “ from the stands

[cajunrevenge]

If Urena isnt ejected Gausman needs to be head hunting mext inning. Absolute bull****.

[Southcack77]

Purely intentional

Why don’t they ever wait and drill the **** out of the pitcher?

[CrimsonCowboy]

Get him, Snitker!!!!!!!

[Braves1976]

This is bad, we have to make them pay for this!

[UNCBlue012]

Hell yeah, Snit. I respect this reaction.

[UNCBlue012]

Is Acuna OK?

[Dalyn]

**** that.

[bravesfanMatt]

****ing bush league...

[Orphan Black]

The umps have to use some common sense here...no warning is needed because it was obviously intentional.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Urena should be tossed. That was garbage

[UNCBlue012]

Snit has earned my respect tonight. Just damn.

[Orphan Black]

There should also be a suspension coming Urena's way.

[Tapate50]

Right call to toss the pitcher here

[bravesfanforlife88]

This is for the bat flip from last night...but they have to understand he is a 20 year old kid

[CrimsonCowboy]

Good job umps

[UNCBlue012]

Urena ejected!

[Tapate50]

Certainly like a pen game for the win?

[Braves1976]

Snit and all the boys handled this the right way. Much respect to them all.

[Orphan Black]

Urena ejected!

It's for the best...there is no way he does not get hit in retaliation if left in the game.

[Enscheff]

Certainly looked intentional to me.

[auyushu]

Snit has earned my respect tonight. Just damn.

Agreed, went up a notch for me tonight. Glad they tossed Urena, could have gotten Padres-Braves level ugly if they didn't.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Certainly looked intentional to me.

No doubt about it

[bravesfanMatt]

**** you ureatha.. we have 4 more games with these ****ers... if we get his next start, I get Sobo to start and when his punk ass comes up get a ****ing 98 in the middle of the back...

[Braves1976]

Certainly like a pen game for the win?

I liked our chances against their starter, we have owned him. But after that he had to be thrown out.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I haven’t been this fired up during the game since Sam Holbrook and the infield fly

[Orphan Black]

Is Acuna okay? watching game day until i get home

[Braves1976]

Certainly looked intentional to me.

yea he was ready to fight too, that was no mistake

[Freshmaker]

f'ing bush league bull#@$%....amazed it took the umps so long to eject him...we're going to be lucky if Acuna isn't hurt...took that in the elbow or just above it...looks like he may stay in the game tho so here's hoping

[Braves1976]

Is Acuna okay? watching game day until i get home

hopefully, he was down a while but is a tough kid

[Garmel]

I'm usually for giving someone the benefit of the doubt but Urenia's attitude afterward makes me realize that was intentional.

[Julio3000]

Definitely the right call to throw him out.

[Slippyjms]

Vengeance must be had. No tipping of the cap here.

[CyYoung31]

Is Acuna okay? watching game day until i get home

He went to first base. But now with the a new pitcher he’s sitting in the dugout getting looked at. Honestly may not really know until after the game.

[bravesfanMatt]

Vengeance must be had. No tipping of the cap here.

not this game.. Gausman can't be tossed with so many games coming up.

[msstate7]

Vengeance must be had. No tipping of the cap here.

Realmuto

[cajunrevenge]

Glad he got ejected. I bet this **** came from Jeter. He has always been a classless bitch. We should sit on this tonight but remember this when the Marlins have a good year. Then throw at theur superstars head until they get hin.



If I was the Braves I would have had Urena arrested. Being on a baseball field doesnt suspend the law.

[Southcack77]

The ejection might save Braves suspensions. No need to retaliate now with the playoff chase.

[Tapate50]

Pretty big low for the Marlins franchise, and that’s saying something for a Jeter-Loria being current and passed management

[Braves1976]

Acuna was hit with a 98 mph fastball

[CyYoung31]

Glad he got ejected. I bet this **** came from Jeter. He has always been a classless bitch. We should sit on this tonight but remember this when the Marlins have a good year. Then throw at theur superstars head until they get hin.

ROFL...****ing Christ...

[UNCBlue012]

I hope Acuna is OK and hits a homer every damn time he plays this trash franchise

[Tapate50]

Realmuto looked like someone just told him his dog died. Knows he’s first man up.

[MadduxFanII]

I mean, what was Acuna's crime? Being young and good?

[Dalyn]

Acuna looks pissed.

[Freshmaker]

Acuna is back out...hopefully he steals second on the first pitch lol

[Orphan Black]

It could have been directed by Mattingly...I know he seems like a nice guy, but the dude is into all that old school baseball crap.

[Allstar34bd]

This is an ABSOLUTELY pathetic showing by the Braves. This is a 20 year kid that is leading a playoff charge and no one even stepped out for 5-6 seconds. The manager showed more heart then the team combined. STICK UP FOR YOUR BROTHER. The 4th bat on the bench or a bull pen pitch could have leveled the pitcher and took the suspension at minimum. But no... they bump bellies and yell threats. SOFT

[Southcack77]

I mean, what was Acuna's crime? Being young and good?

Probably pimped it last night in their mind.

[Freshmaker]

I mean, what was Acuna's crime? Being young and good?

i mean i guess

[Enscheff]

The Braves have a hell of a lot more to lose than the Marlins in this scenario. They need to be smart now.

[UNCBlue012]

HOLY SHAT I AM STILL PISSED. He might be OK at least

[Tapate50]

Acuna was hit with a 98 mph fastball

Fastest pitch he’s thrown to open a game ever

[CrimsonCowboy]

Joe just said that was the fastest pitch Urena has ever thrown to open a game. Tells you all you need to know

[UNCBlue012]

This is an ABSOLUTELY pathetic showing by the Braves. This is a 20 year kid that is leading a playoff charge and no one even stepped out for 5-6 seconds. The manager showed more heart then the team combined. STICK UP FOR YOUR BROTHER. The 4th bat on the bench or a bull pen pitch could have leveled the pitcher and took the suspension at minimum. But no... they bump bellies and yell threats. SOFT WTF. Ender immediately ran out

I think they were all as shocked as us at first.

[Tapate50]

I had flashes of Freddie’s wrist

But no... they bump bellies and yell threats. SOFT

Ender busted out of there pretty much immediately.

[salmagundy]

Definitely the right call to throw him out.

But why did it take so long. Fairchild should have tossed Urena IMMEDIATELY! And I agree with Capt Caveman, a 10 game suspension is in order.

[Braves1976]

WTF. Ender immediately ran out

Yes, and the rest were probably shocked a bit.

[Freshmaker]

HOLY SHAT I AM STILL PISSED. He might be OK at least

Amazingly it seems like it. He'd be out of there if they were worried in the slightest

[jpack1]

The was as classless as anything ever by the Fish. What a bunch of bitches.

[UNCBlue012]

The was as classless as anything ever by the Fish. What a bunch of bitches. we better beat the hell out of them this game.

[Freshmaker]

lot of posters coming out of the woodwork to discuss this lol...welcome fellas!

[UNCBlue012]

Red Sox up 3-0.

[CrimsonCowboy]

[GeorgiaGirl]

If intentional, and since it was the hardest pitch Urena has thrown to start a game, I have to lean to yes, then that was such bush league. I'm honestly surprised that didn't come sooner, as Acuna pimps homers a lot and I've seen people get mad at that.

Gotta remember that he's 20 years old, folks.

[CyYoung31]

Hopefully someone hits a homer and flips the Marlins bench the bird while he trots around the bases.

[CrimsonCowboy]

[Braves1976]

needed to make a statement tying it there at least, maybe next inning

[UNCBlue012]

Wtf, guys? You really needed to score there.

[Orphan Black]

I know people want retaliation, but hopefully they don't go there. Don't need any suspensions or people getting tossed here.

[CyYoung31]

****

[Orphan Black]

****

Is the injury delay for Acuna

[Freshmaker]

And now Acuna comes out and Duval is in...

[CyYoung31]

Is the injury delay for Acuna

Yes. He took himself out of the game after he took the field.

[Braves1976]

this sucks

[bravesfanMatt]

how can a grown man be a punk ass bitch like this... what, you can't beat him so lets injure him...

[UNCBlue012]

Son of a. He better be OK.

[bravesfanMatt]

circle those games down in Miami... His start better have a reliever starting so he knows what is coming..

[Slippyjms]

I know people want retaliation, but hopefully they don't go there. Don't need any suspensions or people getting tossed here.

**** that. Blood must be had. Let Sabotaka take the suspension if we’re so worried about getting in trouble.

[bravesfanMatt]

**** that. Blood must be had. Let Sabotaka take the suspension if we’re so worried about getting in trouble.

Don't be dumb.. Guasman gets tossed and we burn our pen just before the Rox series..

[salmagundy]

And now Acuna comes out and Duval is in...

Once again proves the Braves bench is the WEAK LINK.

I would have moved Culberson to LF and inserted Camargo at 3rd. Duvall is almost as worthless as Piss ANt.

[CrimsonCowboy]

When Acuna was leaving the game, did you all notice the glare he was giving toward the Marlins dugout?

[Slippyjms]

Don't be dumb.. Guasman gets tossed and we burn our pen just before the Rox series..

Reading is fundamental

[CyYoung31]

I know they’re mad, but they need to focus. Can’t let it take you out of the game.

[UNCBlue012]

What the hell, Gaus? This is the one game you can’t do this crap. Be better, at least for Acuna.

[salmagundy]

When Acuna was leaving the game, did you all notice the glare he was giving toward the Marlins dugout?

That wasn't a "glare" but daggers!!!

[bravesfanMatt]

Gausman looks lost out there... hopefully this crappy lineup bails him out tonight..

[UNCBlue012]

How does Gausman go from his last start to this? Random AF.

Glad he got out of it though

[Enscheff]

So many internet tough guys jumping out of the weeds. Love it lol.

[CrimsonCowboy]

1029881241351467013

[bravesfanforlife88]

I’m hoping that we get a lead that is big enough later tonight that we can throw in a reliever to drill Realmuto

[Garmel]

If Acuna has to go on the DL because of this crap......ugh!

[bravesfanMatt]

I’m hoping that we get a lead that is big enough later tonight that we can throw in a reliever to drill Realmuto

no.. No need to throw at JT.. he didn't do anything.

[Slippyjms]

no.. No need to throw at JT.. he didn't do anything.

Neither did Acuna

[bravesfanforlife88]

no.. No need to throw at JT.. he didn't do anything.

He is their best player and means the most to them as you can arguably say Acuna is to us...

Besides he is the catcher...don’t you think he had at least an idea what was going down?

[USMA76]

no.. No need to throw at JT.. he didn't do anything.

Agreed. After the pitch Realmuto looked pretty disgusted by it all. Not his fault that his GM, Manager, and starting pitchers are scumbags. You can't tell me that Jeter and Mattingly weren't at least complicit, if not directive, in this sorry episode.

[PurpleBrave]

Marlins are such a joke of a franchise. Embarrassment to baseball

[Hulavol]

Fellas, we gonna brawl once we get the lead. This from as close to the situation as you can possibly get.

[Freshmaker]

no.. No need to throw at JT.. he didn't do anything.

yeah please no...he's also on my fantasy team i dont want to lose him and Acuna on the same night

[UNCBlue012]

I really hope he’s OK.

[UNCBlue012]

LMAO!

1029890014996574209

[bravesfanMatt]

I really wish it wouldn't take 10 pitches to get every guy out Gausman..

[TheBravos]

I really can’t think of a more classless move on such a big at bat also. I can’t think of more of a punk move.

[bravesfanMatt]

I really hope he’s OK.

98 on elbow... I would be surprised if he starts tomorrow..

[FreemanFan]

I just got home and heard about Acuña. I hope he's okay, obviously, but a direct hit like that is scary. Where was Mattingly after the pitch? Snit got tossed but not Mattingly???

[bravesfanMatt]

I really wish it wouldn't take 10 pitches to get every guy out Gausman..

thank you..

[Orphan Black]

So I wonder if someone were to call the Clark Country policy department and report it as an assault would they be obligated to send officers to investigate?

[Braves1976]

Ramos rbi double gets philly rolling, 3-2 now and Ramos on third

[bravesfanMatt]

I just got home and heard about Acuña. I hope he's okay, obviously, but a direct hit like that is scary. Where was Mattingly after the pitch. Snit got tossed but not Mattingly???

Mattingly just sat back really... Snit wanted to fight and was not leaving until the starter got tossed... Mattingly was ticked about his starter getting the boot, but didn't put much of an argument.

[Freshmaker]

Gaus with his first MLB hit

[bravesfanMatt]

So I wonder if someone were to call the Clark Country policy department and report it as an assault would they be obligated to send officers to investigate?

no...intent can't be proven.

[Freshmaker]

and Duvall almost gets hit...

[Braves1976]

Santana pinch hit single, 3-3 now

[Orphan Black]

no...intent can't be proven.

But that's for the officers to determine isn't it?

[Braves1976]

Braves don't look focused, what the marlins did is working so far to make them too mad it seems

[CyYoung31]

But that's for the officers to determine isn't it?

Dude...you have to be kidding me.

[jsebe10]

Geez I sure hope this bozo makes us pop out just one more time.

[NinersSBChamps]

Bunch of whiny babies out there. Then tossing the pitcher 5 minutes afterwards was a big time coward move.

[bravesfanMatt]

Braves don't look focused, what the marlins did is working so far to make them too mad it seems

We will score... Something is telling me about 6 runs tonight. bookmark this..

[UNCBlue012]

Hopefully we step it up offensively. I’m sure everyone is in shock

[The Chosen One]

Will Gausman have more hits than Swanson?

1-0 currently.

[Orphan Black]

Dude...you have to be kidding me.

I'm just asking a question ass.

[Braves1976]

We will score... Something is telling me about 6 runs tonight. bookmark this..

im not suggesting otherwise, but could take some innings to let the anger go and refocus

[NinersSBChamps]

I really can’t think of a more classless move on such a big at bat also. I can’t think of more of a punk move.

How about the whiners calling the game and the sack less umpire throwing Urena out an hour later.

[The Chosen One]

Gotta win this game with Phills losing again and this being a full bullpen game for Fish.

[UNCBlue012]

Seriously? Come on, Gaus. Literally the game we did not need to do this.

[Braves1976]

Gausman not helping, he isn't sharp tonight. A lot of bad pitches so far, some for outs but that one was a homer

[Braves1976]

Gotta win this game with Phills losing again and this being a full bullpen game for Fish.

phils are tied now thanks mostly to Ramos big double

[Garmel]

A really dumb one.

I still can't see how you're a moderator. You're nearly the ass that Enscheff is and that's saying something.

[CK86]

What a coward Urena is.

[CyYoung31]

I still can't see how you're a moderator. You're nearly the ass that Enscheff is.

What does this have to do with you?

I deleted my post, but of course you have to go and chirp in. Sorry if I hurt your feelings by calling a spade a spade with another poster.

[Braves1976]

ok boys lets get going now

[Braves1976]

Culberson is something, he made sure Ender could get a run for us there.

[SJ24]

Just got home and heard about Ronnie.

Baseball needs to do something about beaning people for bat flips, especially young stars. It is killing the game.

We need some goons on the bench to go kick some ****ing ass. I'm not sure we have that right now. Need to go get some straight dogs like Ron Artest or Stephen Jackson that won't put up with this.

[USMA76]

Way to take care of business, Bae!

[UNCBlue012]

BIG DICK DANSBY

[Braves1976]

Swanson! YES.

[Runnin]

okay, we have the lead now.

[The Chosen One]

1-0 currently.

Touché Dans.

1-1

I will pose this question every time Dansby starts.

[Braves1976]

Dansby took that outside ball change-up and was ready for that fastball down the middle, he can hit a fastball.

[bravesfanMatt]

half way home..

[The Chosen One]

Urena is trying to divide this message board by tearing us apart and making us fight each other. Don't let him win.

Gausman isn't at his best but got the shutdown inning. Now let's have a big inning boys.

[bravesfanMatt]

ok.. need one more inning out of Kevin and then let the big dogs take it home..

Do I have your loyalty?

Yes, always Ronfather.

Had to step away for awhile (and I've seen no mention of it in the thread) but have they made any announcements as to what the x-rays or MRI revealed on Acuna?

Cajun is on it.

[NinersSBChamps]

Hands down my least favorite person here, but credit where credit is due. That was well done.

[Braves1976]

Ramos is a one man wrecking crew, just tripled to lead off. phillies about to lead 4-3

[CyYoung31]

Hands down my least favorite person here, but credit where credit is due. That was well done.

Well, everything you hate is awesome, so I’ll take that as a compliment.

[Orphan Black]

haha...that was an awesome point they made about Realmuto...even he reacted like WFT are you doing?

[FreemanFan]

I hope Acuña is okay and back out there tomorrow. Whenever he plays again, his consecutive home run streak should be intact since that was his only AB (MLB Rule 9.23b).

[CyYoung31]

haha...that was an awesome point they made about Realmuto...even he reacted like WFT are you doing?

Yeah. He probably knew he was about to not have a head the next inning.

[Braves1976]

strong finish by Gausman if that was his last inning

[IamKolbyAllard]

Nobody dare use Urena with a tilde. Bonus points if he’s henceforth know as urethra.

[Braves1976]

Phillies lead 4-3 thanks to one man wrecking crew Ramos, he has an RBI double, triple and two runs scored.

[bravesfanMatt]

any word on why Camargo was scratched today? I didn't notice him in the melee either..

[Braves1976]

Culberson looks like a starter to me, his swing look better since joining us.

[Braves1976]

good job ender!

[bravesfanMatt]

Phillies lead 4-3 thanks to one man wrecking crew Ramos, he has an RBI double, triple and two runs scored.

relax... they have to win more games than we do from here on out..

[Oklahomabrave]

If Acuña has to miss time for this I will be irate.

Pretty badass of Dansby to do Acuña’s celebration on the HR

[nsacpi]

I'm guessing Winkler un the 7th and Brach in the 8th.

[Mad Dog Murph]

any word on why Camargo was scratched today? I didn't notice him in the melee either..

Just rest.... he's been on the bench clowning around.

[Heyward]

Need this 5th run. And we have like 3 off days the rest of the season, gotta choose spots when to rest guys other than Zuk/Flowers.

[bravesfanMatt]

one more to go..

[bravesfanMatt]

RF :facepalm:

[Braves1976]

looks like Ramos is going to lead Philly to victory tonight. Tomorrow they face two bad pitchers in a DH vs Mets.

[The Chosen One]

Considering Sobotka throws high 90's cheese, if Bobby were managing he'd probably ask Chad to throw at whomever in retaliation and get thrown out.

[Braves1976]

RF :facepalm:

he should be last man off bench, not first and certainly not late in games

[bravesfanMatt]

Venters back to back games???

[CJ9]

Third outing in four days for Venters.

[buck75]

What’s up the radar gun? Did Venters hit 96?

[bravesfanMatt]

He kind of is right now.. outside our backup catcher and Jo-gun

[Julio3000]

If Acuña has to miss time for this I will be irate.

Pretty badass of Dansby to do Acuña’s celebration on the HR

Did he? I missed that. That’s a pretty big-dick move.

Respeck to Dans.

[nsacpi]

would rather have venters available tomorrow...there is no good reason to go a second consecutive game tonight

[Julio3000]

Jonny throwing rocks.

[buck75]

Venters may pitch in every game until the Braves clinch the World Series!

[nsacpi]

Venters looks really good.

[Heyward]

Venters is incredible but i wouldnt have used him there. Probably not available until Saturday now.

[weso1]

First time I've had a chance to really watch Venters. His stuff looks great still.

[The Chosen One]

When does Sam Freeman begin rehab assignment?

[Julio3000]

It’s weird to be on a contending club and not have the luxury of getting a into a dumb brawl.

[Mrs. Meta]

Then, it is time to get into a smart brawl.

...what would a smart brawl look like?

[thewupk]

Nats gonna lose again. Sub 500 lol

[Braves1976]

Ramos doubles again, driving in two more runs with two outs. 6-3 Philly. Philly is going to be tough now with Ramos IMO. Much better offense. Bour has two hits tonight too.

Ramos has two doubles and a triple, three RBI's and two runs scored so far.

[TURBO]

RF punching everyone on Fish,

[Braves1976]

Nats gonna lose again. Sub 500 lol

i am concerned they'll just roll over vs philly now

7-3 philly now, Ramos now three runs scored to go with his three rbi's

[UNCBlue012]

Ramos has two doubles and a triple, three RBI's and two runs scored so far. Holy crap, dude. He’s a fine player but he’s not the second coming of Jesus.

[thewupk]

Holy crap, dude. He’s a fine player but he’s not the second coming of Jesus.

Yeah that's acuna

[UNCBlue012]

This bullpen is legit.

Will you shut the **** up already, Ramos is good and will help them, he's not Babe Ruth and Mike Trout into one player. Calm down.

[Braves1976]

Holy crap, dude. He’s a fine player but he’s not the second coming of Jesus.

If not for him tonight they'd be down 3-1, he is hitting over .300 with an .850+ OPS. They needed another bat like that and he gives them it, Bour helps out too.

[Heyward]

AA really got Brach, Venters, Gaus for next to nothing lol, ski mask fleecing.

Still needs to upgrade RF though, he's so bad.

[CJ9]

Am I over analyzing by thinking it’s bad that there has been no announcement on Acuna? Braves usually update with at least what the injury is.

[Braves1976]

No, you shut the **** up. You're the only one not calm as usual, lol.

[USMA76]

You're right in that they've had nine innings to update his status and they haven't.

[buck75]

Come on y’all. Ease up on each other.

[nsacpi]

why are both Winkler and Minter warming up

[Heyward]

You're right in that they've had nine innings to update his status and they haven't.

I saw somewhere he posted on his instagram he's fine, but nothing confirmed yet.
