Great win to beat the best team in baseball imo given all the injuries.

Also credit to Max Fried for keeping the team in the game today. Could have easily imploded. Good win. Enjoy the day off Monday boys.

I'm very impressed with him. He showed some moxie today
 
But now we have to deal with Acuna pouting for a week. Wonder what snit did to make FF pout this series. Hopefully they resolve it quickly.

Our status as "LA's Bee-yotch" is now probationary.

Seriously, great work to win this series.

I still dont think we'd beat them in a series, but it is good to beat them, they have certainly had our number to say the least.
 
It may actually be the case that the message to Acuna be best delivered during a game that turns into a come from behind win. He will wish he were part of it.

VERY small sample size, but Melancon has good numbers vs the Dodgers. Thats one reason AA got him, me thinks, has an eye on the big prize.

yea a small sample as in season match-ups always are but still a track record of success against them.

I don't think Acuna will pout. Doesn't seem like that kind of person to me. He's just showboaty. I think he knows he deserved his benching.

Yeah I'm sure he realizes it. He screwed up and deserved to get pulled. Lesson learned

Do the right thing and the consequences will take care of themselves. It always happens in the long term. Today, we were fortunate enough to reap a short term result.
 
Just about everyone in baseball had punched the Dodgers ticket to another World Series. This Braves team not only proved they can play with the Dodgers, but can beat them. This was a huge series win and can prove to be a major confidence booster.

Freeman went hitless this series and had some rough ab's too but we still won.

No Markakis, Riley, Ender for 1.5 games, or Dansby, and still won 2/3.

I know we didnt see Kershaw or Buehler but to win 2/3 vs LA with how injured the Braves are is impressive.

I'd still put them in the WS but if the Braves are healthy and got to play them, let's see what happens.
 
I’m at the front of the line of the "Let the Kids Play" movement but it was the absolute right move for Snit to pull Acuña! You have Ender dragging his leg to score the other night and what if it was a Game 7 or elimination game in the playoffs and your chances are limited and every mistake is magnified, hopefully lesson learned like with Andruw and everyone is able to move on.

New limitations

How many players can MLB teams have in September?
After Sept. 1, all teams will be allowed to carry 28 players, rather than the 40-man glut of recent years. As part of the ongoing discussions, the teams and the players will negotiate to determine the number of pitchers allowed on each roster. The number has not yet been set.Mar 14, 2019

Ah, I thought that part, along with the new 26-man regular season roster, didn't take effect until 2020.
