Fun game, glad to see the Braves get the win and force a game 4. If nothing else, one more game of postseason experience for the young guys. Acuna is so much better than I ever could've expected for a guy as young as he is.

FWIW, that win snapped a 5 game losing streak in Game 3s. We’d also lost 6 of 7 Game 3s before tonight.
I’m too old for games like this.....but man it feels amazing.

I may have a hard time sleeping after that one.
Just curious, has anyone seen the six mound visits get used before tonight? First time I’ve seen it happen.

On Freddie's HR Alex Wood's head jerk to watch it sail out is priceless.

his performance in the 9th was for the ages

I have to say—however Game Four goes—Acuña watching ball-four called a strike, and then destroying the first real strike he saw for a slam, is a highlight that justifies the whole series.

Let's assume we win today, could we get another inning or 2 from newcomb Wednesday?

I know it obviously won’t happen, but I honestly would like to see the Braves employ an “opener” in a potential Game Five, with Newcomb, Gausman, Teheran, Toussaint, and Fried all options to go multiple mid-game innings based on matchups. I think it’d make more difficult, or at least complicate, the Dodgers’ strategy of platoon-stacking their lineup.

in other words an epic 9th inning...really as great a 9th inning as I can remember...apparently there was a communications breakdown between him and Suzuki the last two batters...they had exhausted the quota of mound visits...Suzuki was screaming at him using the few words of Spanish at his disposal...Viz had no clue what he was saying...but somehow they got through it
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

Get off my lawn!
I didn’t expect them to be very good. That is true. I didn’t give up on them. My expectations were low and I wasn’t correct. You have a select group here who are no less a fan if they don’t think the Braves will win it all or whatever sunshine they want to cast. The angle is that I got and get crap because I haven’t bought into the rebuild plan and don’t agree with all the moves the team has made. Now you have people crying and whining and giving up yet they aren’t called out? I have no problems with people behaving that way, but you can’t just single me out.
