Short’s defense has me missing Riley. He makes mistakes that have really hurt.

Braves broadcast can do better than Brian Jordan. He’s worse than Chip.

Acuna with highest ground ball % of his career at 45%. 32% gb last season and 36% in 2020.

Acuna’s bat path is the issue for him right now. Direction, instead of through the ball is cutting off the strike zone and just clipping the baseball, resulting in all of these mis-hit popups.

Maybe we go up to get Ozuna out?? He hits low pitches over and over.

Pedro just said he expects Flaherty to be better and Folty to be worse. Then he predicted Atlanta to win lol

Hitting is such a matter of hot and cold streaks, maybe get Duvall in the starting lineup and move him and Swanson up to 5 and 6. Post season is a different animal. Got to adapt on the fly.

I know they are harping on the bone spurs, but I don’t think that’s the issue. It’s just baseball. Would love for FF to be in a good groove and swinging with confidence, but he’s just in a lull at the worst possible time. Maybe the Braves can hang around in the playoffs long enough for him to...

Very likely that if Acuña is on 3rd with 1 out that the infield plays in to cut off the run at home. That line drive is in the outfield and maybe even splits the outfielders for extra bases.

The obvious point being made here is that these guys are good. Judging them on their performance after they clinched and put it in cruise control is silly. This is a good team. Getting nervous because they backed it down a notch this past week and they aren’t on fire individually during...

In 1995 the Braves were swept by the Mets to wrap up the regular season. Relax fellas.

Marginal hitters are precisely the hitters that benefit the most! Really good hitters in this game have larger timing windows. The Culbersons of baseball need to get predictable pitches and not miss them. The pitch he chose was a fastball up. Good sac fly potential. If he gets to it, it’s a...

When Flowers is hitting behind you, swinging at a pitch that should be a predictable fastball is a good thing. He got a fastball up, which he was surely looking for, but it was a little too up. But the strategy and thought process is good. Get into predictable counts and do damage, whether it’s...

I hope Acuña handles the punishment well. He has enough vets on this team to mentor him. I do remember reports that when he didn’t make the team out of spring training last season that he pouted for a week or so in the minors. Hopefully that won’t be the case here. Albies seems more mature and...

This is excellent advice. Some lots don’t open until 5:30 but some are 3:30. Find out that detail. If you stay at a farther lot, the walk may be a mile or so, but you zip right out once you get to your vehicle. Stay close to the stadium and exit with the crowd after the game, you’ll be sitting...
