Thank you Hulavol

Freddie with a YUGE game vs Velasquez

[nsacpi]

Expecting a yuge game from Donaldson

[Hulavol]

Expecting RA Jr. to get real close to the 40/40...
As in the bomb and two swipes.
At least 4 times on base .
Calling it !

[nsacpi]

Expecting Great Expectations to be republished as Yuge Expectations.

[Braves1976]

phillies manager said every game is game 7 now after their last loss. So odds are they lose one of their game 7's here, lol.

[CyYoung31]

Acuna is done.

[Heyward]

Acuna is done.

Yep we should trade him, bad thing we're stuck with him for 9 more years.

[salmagundy]

Kendrick triples, Cabrera Sac Fly

Nats 1-0 going to Bot 2nd

[UNCBlue012]

Sean Rodriguez is flat-out bad but dude seems always hurt us. It makes zero sense.

[UNCBlue012]

Lucky see Phillies. Our defense cost us there. Just let Dansby field the damn ball.

[CyYoung31]

JFC

[UNCBlue012]

JFC it’s on the defense. This inning should have been over quickly

[CyYoung31]

it’s on the defense. This inning should have been over quickly

No. It’s on Keuchel for giving up two bombs.

[Braves1976]

wow that sucked.

[GeorgiaGirl]

That inning was a good microism of how everything has to be perfect for Keuchel. In another dimension, it's just 2-1. Josh knows he shouldn't have cut in front of Dansby and Keuchel knows he should've let the ball go to Dansby.

[striker42]

Ortega is one of the unluckiest hitters I've ever seen.

[msstate7]

Just an awful luck night so far

[Braves1976]

**** you ump that wasn't close!

[striker42]

Ump is one of those jackasses who thinks players are trying to show him up. Acuna tried to go to first on strike one. When he clearly gets ball 4 the ump calls it a strike out of spite. Sadly virtually every ump is like that.

[CyYoung31]

Have we scored a run off of a Phillies reliever not named Nick Pivetta?

[nsacpi]

This team is out of gas.

[CyYoung31]

This team is out of gas.

And 7 miles from the nearest exit.

[salmagundy]

This team is out of gas.

As well as the fans who post on this site. 23 posts total thru 7+ innings.

[CyYoung31]

Braves haven’t won a game since Charlie went down.

[nsacpi]

As well as the fans who post on this site. 23 posts total thru 7+ innings.

clv was right

[nsacpi]

That bat flip is a thing of beauty

[CyYoung31]

How the **** did he miss that?

[nsacpi]

Gosselin sighting. This game has everything.

[nsacpi]

Dayton!

[Enscheff]

Grant Dayton. Nice.

[Braves1976]

Dayton!

looked good, I am not ruling him or O'Day out for the playoff roster yet. Dayton is a long shot though, O'Day is on it for me if he finishes strong. He'd make a good tag-team with Blevins too.

[Braves1976]

Duvall! one more boys!

[nsacpi]

looked good, I am not ruling him or O'Day out for the playoff roster yet. Dayton is a long shot though, O'Day is on it for me if he finishes strong. He'd make a good tag-team with Blevins too.

Yeah, I like what I've seen out of O'Day.

[Braves1976]

Yeah, I like what I've seen out of O'Day.

Yea, if healthy he can own righties. You don't want him facing lefties much though, esp. in the playoffs.

[UNCBlue012]

What a freaking terrible at-bat by JD.

[drewdat]

That was batting practice.

[msstate7]

That was pretty bad

[UNCBlue012]

That’s unfortunate. Absolutely no reason we don’t tie that. Sucky loss, especially with the Nats beating the POS Cards

[Braves1976]

we could've and should've tied it, needed contact and got a k instead.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Go get em tomorrow

[CyYoung31]

Do the Braves even want to win the division?

[msstate7]

That's about how I expect us to be eliminated from the playoffs

[striker42]

Not our night. Rockets hit right at guys and a home plate ump who seemed to take joy in screwing us over.

[CyYoung31]

That's about how I expect us to be eliminated from the playoffs

Oh, get ready for CHOKEtober. It’s happening.

[thewupk]

3 and 1 to go

It's happening

[UNCBlue012]

We’re FINNISH
