gdt 10.9.19: today the house of cards comes tumbling down

I might actually start pulling starters at this point. No reason to let an Acuna or an Albies get hurt and miss time next season for the sake of playing out this turd.
 
For future reference, somebody may want to show Acuña the video of the batter going to third on a ball hit off the right field wall. (When his team has a 10 run lead, no less.)
 
Braves upgrades at least are not that difficult: Resign JD, riley in left-field with Duvall as insurance, sign a real right-fielder and get a real closer. We sweep this series with that team
 
If Neck is the starting OFer for Atl next year, I will strangle a puppy. [MENTION=89]nsacpi[/MENTION], if you come in here talking about him and value/WAR again, it's gonna be your puppy.
 
Trying to figure out how the Braves are going to break my heart today. Because this is not the same thing... maybe a crazy game and we end up losing 15-14?

Of all the Braves postseason losses does this go down as the most embarrassing of the bunch? Its a very high bar but dare I say it I think we actually have exceeded the bar.

Stat experts - What has a higher probability. Blowing a 28-3 lead in the super bowl or giving up 10 runs in first inning of elimination game?

How is it a high bar? They‘ve never gotten embarrassed. Lost to better teams, lost to equal teams in close contests, but always were competitive.
 
Has anyone else noticed that this is the first post season where the Braves post season struggles are starting to get real real attention? Don't get me wrong, you always see the flashes somewhere but this time round it has actually started to be treated like a real curse. The irony is people give such little ****s about Atlanta that no one truly thinks of us as being a cursed franchise but for the first time this playoffs, people are giving us the curse respect we deserve.

A Markakis/Duvall platoon is quite likely.

Everyone hide the puppies!!
 
Its unfortunate - last season felt like a happy ending with a lot to look forward to. This one just makes you embarrassed to be a Braves fan.

Yeah. Last season we played a clearly better team and made a respectable showing. This year we played a clearly inferior team and wet the bed. We gave away this series with piss poor ABs in huge situations and critical errors.
