Cubs game 1

[msstate7]

Snit says days off for punks lol

Flowers and Julio... everything else the same

[UNCBlue012]

Let’s get this win!! Go Bravos

[The Chosen One]

Camargo in over Neck should be a no-brainer.

[nsacpi]

Expecting a yuge game from Markakis.

[Braves1976]

Markakis is batting 5th against Lester? He shouldn't even be in the line-up.

[AerchAngel]

Snit is a stoic IDIOT.

[Braves1976]

markakis is batting .231 in 26 ab's against Lester with no homers and no rbi's but snit still plays him and keeps him 5th.

[zbhargrove]

Dayton sent to Gwinnet, Wright recalled... please just keep Dayton up... he's so good.

[msstate7]

Dayton sent to Gwinnet, Wright recalled... please just keep Dayton up... he's so good.

I'd rather they let Wright keep starting games in AAA

[Braves1976]

Dayton sent to Gwinnet, Wright recalled... please just keep Dayton up... he's so good.

I figured that would happen, at least by Tuesday with Newk coming back. Snit overreacted to the solo homer and seeing eye single through the shift yesterday. Dayton could've stayed in and gotten through that inning at one run. I like Webb but there was another lefty in Parra on deck and Dayton has shown he can get out both anyway. He had just gotten Rendon before the Soto homer on that bad curve that hanged.

[nsacpi]

Dayton sent to Gwinnet, Wright recalled... please just keep Dayton up... he's so good.

I think this is due to Folty and Soroka not giving them many innings. So Wright is there in case there is an extra innings game or other circumstance that requires a lot of innings from the pen. Hopefully, Julion can give the pen a bit of a break.

Obviously Tomlin won't be available. Jackson, Swarzak and Minter pitched both Saturday and Sunday. Given that he threw the fewest pitches yesterday, I'm guessing Swarzak is the closer tonight and the other two will not be used.

[Braves1976]

I'd rather they let Wright keep starting games in AAA

he is likely here just for tonight and will only be used if need a long reliever in a blow out loss. Newk will be activated Tuesday with Wright headed back down.

[bravesfanMatt]

Sharpie snit strikes again. Where are all the snit supporters saying they approved of yesterday full lineup because he would rest guys later. Like I said he will always find a reason to go full blown lineup everyday.

Plus Dayton had pitched in two straight too so probably not available tonight had he stayed. He would've went for Newk Tuesday anyway obviously.

[Braves1976]

We should've sent Sobotka back down and kept Dayton.

[striker42]

Snit is a stoic IDIOT.

Snit is terrible at making lineups but considering the meltdowns other teams in our division are experiencing, we're lucky to have Snit. The man knows how to manage a team.

[chop2chip]

Sharpie snit strikes again. Where are all the snit supporters saying they approved of yesterday full lineup because he would rest guys later. Like I said he will always find a reason to go full blown lineup everyday.It can be true that he should have rested guys today and played them yesterday, so don’t strain your arm patting yourself on the back too hard.

Everyone agrees with the idea that we should be resting our guys more. Everyone.

[Braves1976]

Snit knows how to manage but AA sucks as a GM. Excuse me if I don't trust your judgment on such matters. Now I do agree that other teams, and thankfully that includes some in our own division, have worse managers.

[Slippyjms]

Sharpie snit strikes again. Where are all the snit supporters saying they approved of yesterday full lineup because he would rest guys later. Like I said he will always find a reason to go full blown lineup everyday.

Well I’m at work so I’m a little busy. Anyway I supported the lineup decision yesterday and think it’s a mistake today. Today was an excellent opportunity to rest Markakis and reward Camargo. No reason not to take advantage.

[bravesfanMatt]

It can be true that he should have rested guys today and played them yesterday, so don’t strain your arm patting yourself on the back too hard.

Everyone agrees with the idea that we should be resting our guys more. Everyone.

Believe me my arm is already very flexible.

And I was pointing out that snit has never shown the ability to grasp the idea of rest despite some saying he can still rest guys. I am fine with playing a full lineup if you have a plan. Snits plan is to fill his card out in sharpie and go to war.

Yes even the dumbest people know we should sit Neck against Lester. But it was silly for some to think snit would.

[Braves1976]

The best thing I can say about Snit is that often his worst managed games the team has come back and won. Both this season and last, not always but much more often than most. So they clearly like playing for him and pick him up a lot after such blunders. But you rather your team not be put in the spot where that is required to win a game.

[AerchAngel]

Neck needs to sit.

He has not been good against Lester.

Carmargo is available.

?

So they are winning in spite of snit. Not sure that is a ringing endorsement

[BeanieAntics]

markakis is batting .231 in 26 ab's against Lester with no homers and no rbi's but snit still plays him and keeps him 5th.

He doesn't have any RBI's against Lester? My God what is Snit thinking?!

But seriously Camargo should be playing.

[bravesfanMatt]

Btw. I wasn’t calling anyone here dumb. Just that my 10 year daughter who doesn’t know crap about baseball could have made that call. But people here think snit must have some plan for rest or we don’t know all the info. BS. We have seen enough of this dumb hillbilly to know he has no tactical clue what he is doing.

[Braves1976]

So they are winning in spite of snit. Not sure that is a ringing endorsement

The Braves have a very good GM who helps the old school Snit as much as possible. Snit isn't as bad as he used to be because of that. But he is still refusing to change old habits that could come back to bite us later on. Think second half Markakis for example and remember he isn't getting any younger.

[CyYoung31]

Are we confident with Julio in this park? Which way is the wind blowing?

[bravesfanMatt]

Are we confident with Julio in this park? Which way is the wind blowing?

Oddly I am. I am sensing 2 or fewer runs given up by JT tonight.

[jpack1]

One of Carmargo or Culbersn should be in the lineup tonight. Ridiculous

[nsacpi]

It can be true that he should have rested guys today and played them yesterday, so don’t strain your arm patting yourself on the back too hard.

Everyone agrees with the idea that we should be resting our guys more. Everyone.

Yeah. Camargo should be in today. Looks like the Cubs have RHP going the last three games of the series.

[CyYoung31]

The only thing I can figure is that Snit really doesn’t like Camargo’s defense in RF. I can understand that, but Markakis isn’t great out there either and Camargo’s bat would probably make up the difference.

small sample but his UZR/150 in right is better than Markakis

[bravesfanMatt]

small sample but his UZR/150 in right is better than Markakis

Shot camargo arm alone makes me feel better about him in RF

[CyYoung31]

small sample but his UZR/150 in right is better than Markakis

Well, Snit is kind of dumb, that’s no secret.

[CyYoung31]

Shot camargo arm alone makes me feel better about him in RF

What did Camargo shoot in his arm? A marijuana?

[bravesfanMatt]

Sentence fragment for effect.

I agree and I get why they did it since Dayton has plenty of options I just don’t like it

[zbhargrove]

We should've sent Sobotka back down and kept Dayton.

Oh yeah! I forgot Sobotka was called back up

[Braves1976]

Shot camargo arm alone makes me feel better about him in RF

plus we already saw Culberson make a play in RF throwing out a runner at home that Markakis doesn't make. Statcast had his throw home on that play over 93 mph.

[Braves1976]

Oh yeah! I forgot Sobotka was called back up

I did too but after it came to me I was more annoyed by the Dayton move. Just rest Dayton today and send Sobotka back. Then have Newk replace Wright tomorrow. Snit probably thinks you cannot have that many lefties in a pen, regardless if some can get out both righties and lefties.

Sobotka's last game in AAA he gave up 4 runs in 1 inning on 2 hits, a homer and hit two batters. He took the loss in doing so.

[Southcack77]

Snitker is not going to do it the way you want. He has starters and reserves. The end. He said it explicitly the other night.

“You want it one way, but it’s the other” to paraphrase Marlo Stanfield.

Complain away but he doesn’t see it your way.

I’m with you on more matchup plays though Camargo/Riley/acuna outfield is really asking for incompetence.

The lineup order doesn’t make a damn bit of difference though it’s not what I’d do.

[jpx7]

I’m a lot less critical of Snitker than many around here; but if what you say is the case, and he’s that inflexible re matchups and depth, then the Braves need a new manager who isn’t so obdurate.

[msstate7]

Well that was weak

[CyYoung31]

It’s over.

[Freshmaker]

Snit is a stoic IDIOT.

I can't find this in a tweet or article anywhere, but in the post game yesterday Snit was asked about the lineup and resting regulars. He said that "we're not constructed that way, we have a traditional lineup." One of the dumbest things I've ever heard him say.

[Garmel]

We're doomed! :panic:

[salmagundy]

It’s over.

When did it start??

[CyYoung31]

Julio cares more about going to look at fish than making his start.

[CyYoung31]

When did it start??

It was over before it began.

[Southcack77]

I’m a lot less critical of Snitker than many around here; but if what you say is the case, and he’s that inflexible re matchups and depth, then the Braves need a new manager who isn’t so obdurate.

Good luck firing someone coming off back to back divisions who has beat projected wins every season and has the full respect of the locker room and team leaders.

I’d probably prefer different tactics.

[CyYoung31]

Man, Chip is stupid.

[CyYoung31]

Good luck firing someone coming off back to back divisions who has beat projected wins every season and has the full respect of the locker room and team leaders.

I’d probably prefer different tactics.

Umm the Braves haven’t won back to back divisions.

[jpx7]

Good luck firing someone coming off back to back divisions who has beat projected wins every season and has the full respect of the locker room and team leaders.

Not saying it'll happen; just saying what they need.

[CyYoung31]

Julio never makes it easy.

[jpx7]

Nice play by D-son.

[Braves1976]

Markakis grounds out on what might've been ball three.

[jpx7]

If only batters were rewarded for mediocre groundballs to middle-infielders, Kakes would be a double Hall-of-Famer.

[CyYoung31]

Riley already has 50 Ks? Holy ****.

[jpx7]

lol Riley simply cannot not K right now.

[Southcack77]

Umm the Braves haven’t won back to back divisions.

Just a matter of time.

[msstate7]

lol Riley simply cannot not K right now.

Probably needs a little break

[CyYoung31]

Just a matter of time.

Lol, it’s not even July.

[Southcack77]

Lol, it’s not even July.

Wrapped up.

[CyYoung31]

WTH just happened?

[Braves1976]

had him 1-2 and gave him a fastball to hit. not a good call there

[msstate7]

Julio gonna get him

[UNCBlue012]

Classic Julio. Awful pitch.

Also, what just happened? Lol

[Braves1976]

oh here we go

[CyYoung31]

WTF was Contreras’ problem?

[Tapate50]

BEEEF!

[jpx7]

wtf the is up with Contreras? Talking noise at Flowers because he's made at the ump?

[msstate7]

Contreras is a **** head. He mad we drafted a catcher 1st round?

[UNCBlue012]

Dude got a homer and got mad? What a dumbass. He better be beamed next time

[msstate7]

wtf the is up with Contreras? Talking noise at Flowers because he's made at the ump?

Here's the thing... he's a dumbass

[jpx7]

Contreras is a **** head. He mad we drafted a catcher 1st round?

Here's the thing... he's a dumbass

Time to trade his brother to the Korean Leagues.

[Coredor]

There is celebration and there is taunting. Contreras was taunting.

[CyYoung31]

Anyone wanna see Heyward and Freeman square up?

[jpx7]

lol Riley: terrible play.

[msstate7]

Alright Austin, that was terrible.

[CyYoung31]

Did Jeff just say “****”?

[Tapate50]

Time to trade his brother to the Korean Leagues.

North Korean league

[jpx7]

There is celebration and there is taunting. Contreras was taunting.

That's why I thought Chip's "You wanna let the kids play—ok, this is what happens" was so silly: Contreras wasn't being enthusiastic, he was clearly bickering and taunting.

[Tapate50]

Anyone wanna see Heyward and Freeman square up?

Wouldn’t mind seeing Contreras and Flow.

[UNCBlue012]

This is some terrible baseball lmao

[msstate7]

Julio rattled

[jpack1]

Julio is like watching paint dry. Man.

[UNCBlue012]

Julio is getting so lucky tonight. Whew

[Super]

Wouldn’t mind seeing Contreras and Flow.

i have a feeling contreras would end up minding that.

[CyYoung31]

That's why I thought Chip's "You wanna let the kids play—ok, this is what happens" was so silly: Contreras wasn't being enthusiastic, he was clearly bickering and taunting.

Yep. It’s already about the 10th stupid thing Chip has said tonight and we’re only in the 2nd inning.

[jpack1]

Good recovery Julio.

[Super]

Yep. It’s already about the 10th stupid thing Chip has said tonight and we’re only in the 2nd inning.

not bad for him honestly

[msstate7]

If we hit a HR, I'm gonna be thoroughly disappointed if we don't Kirk Gibson the whole way around

[Coredor]

Good deal. Julio living dangerously but so far only one run. This one could have gotten out of hand and we really don’t need a bullpen game.

[msstate7]

Long backswing, Tyler... real long

[msstate7]

Julio gonna have to be good tonight

[jpx7]

Funny for the Wrigley crowd to boo Flowers when Contreras was the clear douche that last half-inning.

I should add: I ****ing love Chicago, but the booing tracks: most of the population of Wrigleyville are big'ol douches.

[UNCBlue012]

I’m not too worried about the offense this game but Julio is a huge worry. Gonna need more lucky ass magic. Lol

[CyYoung31]

If Lester is going to keep getting an inch off the outside corner all night, we might get no-hit.

[msstate7]

Flowers and Riley have to help Julio out

[Jay212033]

I’m not too worried about the offense this game but Julio is a huge worry. Gonna need more lucky ass magic. Lol

I wish we would hit early and give our pitchers some confidence.

[thethe]

Julio goes from trash to good in a flash.

[UNCBlue012]

Julio goes from trash to good in a flash. this made me happy and I’m unsure why

[Jay212033]

Can we please see ball, hit ball!!!

[UNCBlue012]

At least we are making him throw pitches this inning lol

[jpx7]

Schwarber > Riley.

[msstate7]

Dang... garbage lf made the play. May not be our night

[msstate7]

Damn dansby and josh

[jpx7]

Damn dansby and josh

Feel like Lieutenant swung when he otherwise wouldn't because of the Acuña steal attempt.

[msstate7]

Schwarber > Riley.

Nah, they're both pretty bad out there. Riley is better fWAR in half the games

[nsacpi]

Julio goes from trash to good in a flash.

some serious poetic talent in these boards

[bravesfanMatt]

JD needs to treat his at bats like a pitcher is hitting behind him. Lester is going to try and nibble and hit precise corners knowing if he walks him he has a guy he owns next.

[nsacpi]

Schwarber > Riley.

and some good mathematicians too

[msstate7]

I don't even care... just hit em lol

[jpx7]

Schwarber > Riley.

Schwarber > Markakis.

[msstate7]

The running game is becoming a problem

[msstate7]

I keep thinking Pete Alonso is gonna slow down, but apparently not. His ops is higher than FF's

[CyYoung31]

God dammit, Swanson. Make a play.

[msstate7]

Remember when Swanson was a good defensive SS? That was awesome

[jpx7]

Schwarber > Riley.

Schwarber > Markakis.

Schwarber > Swanson.

[Garmel]

What has happened to Swanson's defense?

[UNCBlue012]

Julio. You piece of crap. He’s literally the one player you needed to be sure didn’t hurt us again after his hissy fit.

[CyYoung31]

Remember when Swanson was a good defensive SS? That was awesome

It’s seriously pissing me off. No reason for this drastic of a drop off.

[CyYoung31]

Julio. You piece of crap. He’s literally the one player you needed to be sure didn’t hurt us again after his hissy fit.

It was Swanson.

[msstate7]

It’s seriously pissing me off. No reason for this drastic of a drop off.

No idea what the deal is. Maybe he needs more days off

[UNCBlue012]

But seriously, Swanson’s defense has regressed something fierce.

[sturg33]

I'm almost certain Francoeur didnt HR his first at bat.

Yet Chip just said it. And Jeff stayed quiet

[UNCBlue012]

It was Swanson. yes, I’m kidding. Still, wanted Julio to strike him out haha

[Enscheff]

Julio. You piece of crap. He’s literally the one player you needed to be sure didn’t hurt us again after his hissy fit.

Umm, he gave up a grounder that turned into an infield single.

Dumbest post of the thread so far.

[buck75]

Freddie’s a quick cat around 1B

[UNCBlue012]

Great play, Freddie. Julio’s been lucky cause he’s way off today

[Enscheff]

But seriously, Swanson’s defense has regressed something fierce.


Another person who doesn’t know what the word regressed means

[Southcack77]

It’s seriously pissing me off. No reason for this drastic of a drop off.

Struggled before last season didn’t he?

[CyYoung31]

I'm almost certain Francoeur didnt HR his first at bat.

Yet Chip just said it. And Jeff stayed quiet

He didn’t. First game, like 3rd AB.

[UNCBlue012]

Umm, he gave up a grounder that turned into an infield single.

Dumbest post of the thread so far. LMAO. You actually took this seriously? Unreal how gullible you are sometimes. To talk so much ****, you’re crazy easy to troll.

[UNCBlue012]

Another person who doesn’t know what the word regressed means gullible x2.

[CyYoung31]

gullible x2.

Yeah, I bet.

[nsacpi]

Umm, he gave up a grounder that turned into an infield single.

Dumbest post of the thread so far.

that's how you win worst poster of the year...one dumb post after another...it takes a lot of effort and persistence

Again, 2017 his def value was 3.5. This season, it is -0.5 and projected is 4.1 for rest of them year... that sum is 3.6. Is that not regressing back to 2017 level?

[Enscheff]

Did anyone figure out why Marakis started today? Is Snit too concerned about how bad the OF defense will be with Riley Acuna and Camargo?

[msstate7]

Jeez Austin

[Enscheff]

that's how you win worst poster of the year...one dumb post after another...it takes a lot of effort and persistence

The consistency is impressive

[thethe]

Nice - Albies crushed that ball.

[jpx7]

Schwarber killing it defensively.

[thethe]

that's how you win worst poster of the year...one dumb post after another...it takes a lot of effort and persistence

I've put a lot of work into this without recognition. Damn...

[msstate7]

I wanna yell at flowers now. Crap AB

[bravesfanMatt]

Did anyone figure out why Marakis started today? Is Snit too concerned about how bad the OF defense will be with Riley Acuna and Camargo?

He couldn’t figure out how to erase sharpie so he just turned in his Tyler flower lineup card.

[nsacpi]

I've put a lot of work into this without recognition. Damn...

sorry dude...you have been eclipsed

[UNCBlue012]

Damn, Flowers.

[thethe]

What a pitch by Lester

[CyYoung31]

That was an awful AB by Flowers.

[Enscheff]

Both guys are getting the 1b corner, and Lester has done a good job taking advantage.

[UNCBlue012]

sorry dude...you have been eclipsed By me? Y’all are silly if you actually think I’m the worst poster on this board. I like to troll, and for whatever reason, you guys bite. I’ll probably quit at some point because it’s highly unfortunate to know there’s a group of people on the interwebs who actually think I’m stupid.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Wash should have sent Riley on Ozzie’s single, he would have scored easily!

It’s just your GDT shtick, and I’ve gotten used to it. You’ve been doing it for years, I don’t know why people are acting surprised about it all of a sudden.

[nsacpi]

long season...pen needs a break

[Braves1976]

Am I the only one who would have pinch-hit for Julio? Just asking.

i'd pinch hit for markakis who started the inning.

[thethe]

long season...pen needs a break

We will get another change - Just need to continue to work Lester.

[Southcack77]

Did anyone figure out why Marakis started today? Is Snit too concerned about how bad the OF defense will be with Riley Acuna and Camargo?

Paraphrasing:

“...people talking about getting Camargo 500 at bats but we’re not that kind of team. We have a traditional lineup”

:: Looks pained like he’s tired of answering this question but is happy to get it off his chest.

“He does a good job preparing every day to be ready when we call his name.”

[CyYoung31]

Now the outside corner is gone.

[nsacpi]

It’s just your GDT shtick, and I’ve gotten used to it. You’ve been doing it for years, I don’t know why people are acting surprised about it all of a sudden.

maybe it's the Tiger thing...its given him a whole new image

[UNCBlue012]

Why would it matter? I’ve got to keep a little decency in online communities. I don’t exactly care what Enscheff says because he’s clearly just an ass****, but the lot of you seem like nice folks who genuinely care about the Braves. If I’m truly lessening the overall quality of the board, and those who come here, there’s no reason to troll on my end.

[msstate7]

long season...pen needs a break

Isn't that why we brought up Wright? I would've let Julio hit, but Wright at least justifies a PH

[Jay212033]

Definitely not winning this game! Just horrible all around!

[msstate7]

Julio won't make it through this inning. Him hitting looks like a bad decision.

[jpx7]

Terrible sequence by Teheran.

[UNCBlue012]

It’s just your GDT shtick, and I’ve gotten used to it. You’ve been doing it for years, I don’t know why people are acting surprised about it all of a sudden. Yeah, it was a bit surprising to me as well. In the end, I enjoy my interactions on here and the community. My “shtick” doesn’t seem worth it.

[BeanieAntics]

The sky is falling, woe is me, the Braves are terrible and should start tanking for a draft pick.

I'm just trying to give Enscheff some fodder if we make a comeback tonight.

[jpx7]

Turns out Schwarber means "FINNISH".

[bravesfanMatt]

JT says bullpen needs a rest. Yeah right. Hold my beer.

[UNCBlue012]

I understand the logic of keeping Julio in with a thin pen, but he shouldn’t have been given a chance to hit and go another inning.

[msstate7]

The sky is falling, woe is me, the Braves are terrible and should start tanking for a draft pick.

I'm just trying to give Enscheff some fodder if we make a comeback tonight.

You know he's reading with a notepad jotting down which posts to bump haha

[bravesfanMatt]

Definitely not winning this game! Just horrible all around!

Not sure this is working tonight.

[CyYoung31]

Really Markakis?

[thethe]

Julio is back to trash

[jpack1]

Good thing Neck was in there for his D

Julio is back to trash He’s been doing this pretty much all year and he’s just not getting the BABIP luck now.

[Southcack77]

Julio won't make it through this inning. Him hitting looks like a bad decision.

Well, he’s been awful third time through all season, but...?

[nsacpi]

The sky is falling, woe is me, the Braves are terrible and should start tanking for a draft pick.

I'm just trying to give Enscheff some fodder if we make a comeback tonight.

nice try

[jpx7]

Wash should have sent Riley on Ozzie’s single, he would have scored easily!

You serious? Throw was cut-off when Riley was but a few steps around third.

[jpack1]

And Snit just now getting someone up. Hahaha

[nsacpi]

Julio is back to trash

in a flash

[UNCBlue012]

OK, Snit. Enough.

[jpx7]

Am I the only one who would have pinch-hit for Julio? Just asking.

No, I think that was the move, actually. Can't waste chances with how Lester is pitching.

[jpack1]

It’s like since Julio has been in the league 5+ years Snit thinks he’s a good pitcher.

[Braves1976]

game likely over and philly winning big, so losing a game in standings too.

[nsacpi]

what's missing from this thread is Harry with a new Freeman trade proposal...who among ye mighty posters will step up to the plate

[CyYoung31]

Why was left in after they scored two runs with no one out?

[jpx7]

Our sweet RD ...

[NinersSBChamps]

Have a seat Julio. Wrigleyville is gorgeous this time of night.

[UNCBlue012]

This is fun to watch

[jpack1]

Julio’s command just sucks. Maybe he will accept a demotion to AAA.

[msstate7]

Why take em out now? Game over... just let em throw BP. Snit was probably hesitant to pull Julio bc he made the wrong decision on letting him hit

[jpx7]

Why was left in after they scored two runs with no one out?

For real, though: should have been pulled after it was 4-0.

[nsacpi]

Our sweet RD ...

gone in a flash

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Now is the time to drill Willson Contreras in the ribs with a fastball!

[Braves1976]

this is a good old fashion spanking, oh well.

[NinersSBChamps]

game likely over and philly winning big, so losing a game in standings too.

Don’t let that one poster see those words.

[msstate7]

Why was left in after they scored two runs with no one out?

Snit probably trying to save face for letting Julio hit. Looks even worse if you pull Julio with no outs

[UNCBlue012]

Why was left in after they scored two runs with no one out? Because is one of the worst in-game managers in baseball. It makes no sense and people still defend that aspect of the guy. The team loves him and plays hard for him, but he won’t do the obvious things to optimize the team and it makes no sense.

[AerchAngel]

This

[msstate7]

Julio is fine for 2 times thru. Snit has to quit extending him.

[Southcack77]

—-Julio is good now.
—No he’s not.
—-Yes he is.
—Ok fine, but he’s really not

::Julio turns into pumpkin

—so. About that Julio thing...
— WHY DO YOU WANT OUR PLayers TO FAIL?

[nsacpi]

is this a troll post or real one

[UNCBlue012]

is this a troll post or real one it’s real. 😂

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

You serious? Throw was cut-off when Riley was but a few steps around third.

It looked like on the replay that it would have taken a perfect relay to get him and with Flowers and the pitcher coming up it was worth the chance to me but it doesn’t matter now.

[Jay212033]

Wait, wait, wait.....we can still comeback! 🙄

[msstate7]

We really need folty and Gausman to lock down 2 starting spots. I'd then move Julio to the pen. I think he could be good there

[weso1]

Our offense is terrible.

[Hulavol]

There’s a start ...

[UNCBlue012]

King

[Braves1976]

We really need folty and Gausman to lock down 2 starting spots. I'd then move Julio to the pen. I think he could be good there

julio hasn't had his good slider going the last two, when he was going great he did. Two bad starts without it.

[TheBravos]

Julio is turning back into Julio, but we really....really need him to NOT do that for a while longer.

[Hulavol]

That helps ...

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

That’ll help!

[jpx7]

Just looking for the Braves to score a few and help the RD.

[msstate7]

Jeez

[Buzzworm]

Chip just informed us what a number 1 pitcher is so we should all know what to look for when we see one.

[jpx7]

lol nice douche-pirouette, Contreras.

[Enscheff]

Good thing Neck was in there for his D

Insert Stroman joke here

[Jay212033]

Nobody says anything bad about Freeman but 2nd and 3rd with no out and he strikes out smh!

Only the Braves!

[msstate7]

Lol, public enemy #1 puts 2 runs on the board

[NinersSBChamps]

Maybe that will shut the haters up for a bit.

[UNCBlue012]

Nobody says anything bad about Freeman but 2nd and 3rd with no out and he strikes out smh!

Only the Braves! ???

[msstate7]

That strike 1 is crap

[msstate7]

I don't blame Riley for that k. Blue calling that ball a strike

[NinersSBChamps]

That strike 1 is crap

Was called a strike against Beaz last inning.

[jpx7]

Nobody says anything bad about Freeman

For good reason ...

[msstate7]

Was called a strike against Beaz last inning.

Still crap.

[Enscheff]

After the Cubs deliver this kill shot the Braves will be selling JD and anyone else not nailed down.

[Jay212033]

For good reason ...

What's the reason? Everyone else gets ragged but he strikes out with RISP and nothings said. That was a bum AB

[Jay212033]

Sell high

[Buzzworm]

Lol, public enemy #1 puts 2 runs on the board

greatest 5 hole hitter of all time!
His march towards 3k continues.
On a serious note, I just don’t understand why they haven’t switched he and Albies yet.
I believe Nick would be the perfect option in front of the pitcher and Albies needs more opportunity to hit with men on base.

[Braves1976]

Glad Lester is out, maybe we can make a great comeback against their pen.

[jpx7]

What's the reason? Everyone else gets ragged but he strikes out with RISP and nothings said. That was a bum AB

Because he's far-and-away the Braves' best offensive player?

[UNCBlue012]

After the Cubs deliver this kill shot the Braves will be selling JD and anyone else not nailed down. Braves fans were on cloud-nine just six innings ago, now the team clearly sucks. Ugh!

Not starting 80 grade swag clearly affected our will to win.

[Jay212033]

So his stuff doesn't stink I guess smh!

[Southcack77]

They let Julio bat with two runners on, so he could go through the cubs order a third time.

Well rested sobotka has two clean innings since. Can’t complain too much. It’d probably have been Blevins or something equally silly if game was close.

[Southcack77]

Braves magic number is two, I think.

[UNCBlue012]

Everting about Albies’ game has been great for a month-plus.

[jpx7]

So his stuff doesn't stink I guess smh!

Exactly.

[jpx7]

Strike-one to Acuña was laughably off-the-plate.

[weso1]

At least we don't have to worry about the offense. The pitching is concerning though.

[bravesfanMatt]

Wanted to see wright tonight. Oh well.
