GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

[drewdat]

Illegal to use a good reliever before the 7th inning. Here, have a couple more runs.

Pitching sucks but the reason the Braves are going to lose this series is because the offense has absolutely choked all over itself.

The offense blows, but make no mistake, Snit has evened this series up 1-1-1. He ****ed that all to hell.

 

[AJonesATL]

I'm still just beyond shocked. In a 1-1 game already in the 3rd inning with our entire pen fresh - a two time MVP at the plate - and Elder who everyone knew had no business starting this game

How does he get left in? and then the solution to the homer is to let him give up two baserunners and then pull him? and bring in our worst reliever? This one is going to take multiple posts to get over

Rosario shouldn’t play meaningful time on a playoff team. This platoon crap needs to end. Find a legit LF next season.

The team bending us over right now has a lf platoon with marsh and pache

 

[bravesnumberone]

No plan at the plate. No discipline. These guys look at if they’re facing Nola for the first time

But we hit all the homers!

 

[AJonesATL]

I'm not a believer in October choking narratives, but what's going on with the offense right now is also just comically bad. Like really bad. Like last year the offense wasn't great, but I didn't think we got bitched either. This though is now 3 straight games of looking uniquely bad at the plate. Like really, really bad across the board.

We are just giving away at bats swinging at trash. Philly isn’t doing this.

People say Phillies own us… Everybody own the Braves during the Playoffs…

Because they're the better team when it comes down to it and the brightest lights are on. Strider won't make it out of the third tomorrow.

Completely agreed. This is fireable IMO. Whatever benefit he brings does not outweigh single-handedly throwing away a critical playoff game.

In our WS run, AA made the decisions. It was obvious when we pulled Wilson after 5 no hit innings.

 

[Metaphysicist]

Why in god's name is tonkin pitching

Nah. Were are just sluggish after hardly playing for 2 weeks. The time off including the extra rest day between game one and game 2 is a total joke.

The 3rd? I'll bet $100 on that

 

[Frek21]

Snit shouldn’t be allowed to make another decision the rest of the postseason. Which is about a game and a half.

 

[CyYoung31]

I turned it off. **** Snitker and **** this choking dog of an offense.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Riley fails to look back a runner.

 

[Allstar34bd]

Haha wtf is this team? Like the Pats going undefeated and losing the Super Bowl. W T F

 

[USMA76]

I turned it off. **** Snitker and **** this choking dog of an offense.

Are we talking about the "best offense ever?" How's that working out?

 

[chop2chip]

Turn this one off, gents

If the Braves can’t win two games in a row with Strider and Fried and the best offense of all time, then we didn’t really have a chance anyways
