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...

This inning is entirely on Snit. We got greedy and lost because of it. The Phillies in game one pulled their number 3 despite 3 2/3 dominating innings but Snit leaves Elder in to lose the game. Then somehow with the game on the line lets him face Harper. That's just unacceptable managing. Then...

Between @Philly, Elder starting, some level of TD vs. Murphy frustrations, and the overall offensive struggles these last two games, its about as bad of a mojo going into a playoff game that I can remember coming off of a victory. Hopefully this gets requoted today at about 8:00 as the Braves...

I'm starting to think Murphy will get traded this offseason. Albeit he doesn't seem like someone that is not well-liked, the writing has been on the wall all year that Snit always had a bias to overplay TD. He hit 220 for the season and Snit was still dying to get him time. Given how badly...

I honestly have low confidence in all options. I suppose the only bright side of going AJSS is its a long postseason, and maybe by virtue of discovery, he becomes a weapon for us, whereas even if Elder or Tonkin deliver, I have zero confidence in them as recurring options for us throughout the...

So... lets discuss / debate. What should our game 3 plan be? I find it easiest to work backwards. Below is a possibility if you wanted an all bullpen game 9th - Iggy 8th - Minter 7th - Johnson / Minter (Minter comes in for lefties as needed and comes back out for 8th) 6th - Johnson 5th -...

Props to Snit - I give my fair share of sh*t but thought really well managed tonight. Basically in my view went with the perfect bullpen line-up today. Have to give credit on playing the TD match-up and it paid off. We had no business winning that game. We were about to go down 2-0. We were...

Bizarre for someone like Minter who has been in so many of these moments to just not trust his stuff. It was the right call by Snit though - which frankly goes without saying

#War Crimes Let's go. Lmao I did tell my brother I'm sure TD is gonna go deep after all the sh*t I've given

Short sample size or not, random or not - we have 5 hits, zero runs in 12 innings at home. That's embarrassing

I'm struggling to make sense of all of this Only thing I'd say is this is two years in a row we've had weird pitcher ailments going into playoffs. Fried sick / blister and last year Strider. All three starts between the two went awful. So the only thing I'm wondering is maybe the approach needs...

Don't love the implied panicking from the Braves right now. Changing line-up game one, then again game two. Harris hits 6th vs. a lefty but 9th vs. a righty? Albies 5th vs lefty but second vs. righty? We either panicked for game one or panicked for game two. I personally think the line-up change...

Ironically this game makes me think if we can just survive Philly...we are just so much better than so many of these teams and in a 7 game series am confident we should rake - and unlike Baltimore we have Fried going tomorrow. Last year was frustrating because it felt like we lost due to Fried...

You just can't make up that we arguably have the best offense ever and we put up a zero. I don't actually believe the Braves franchise is some franchise of chokers across different players, eras, etc. I just flat don't believe that. But from a humor standpoint, you just can't make this sh*t up...

The offday is going to allow us to start strider and Fried 3 of 4 and 4 of 5 if series goes that far...so honestly while annoying, the offday is the only thing keeping the Braves in this series. We should be extremely thankful or we'd be looking at either back to back bullpen games or Strider on...

Pitching delivered, some weird sh*t in the game, but overall pitching delivered. Not even going down the road of choking or what the rationale was - just an underwhelming offensive effort. Couple balls hit hard that didn't go our way, but honestly not that many...just a bad offensive effort

To be fair Acuna career playoffs OPS coming into today is 863 and last year while clearly not himself, he went 5-15...He could be better, but his playoff resume has been fine

Given the incredible frustration, which I also share, will take a minute to give some props to Arcia. Dude is a gamer. Some good ABs today, phenomenal defense, last year was 3-10 with a walk, homer and 2 RBI in playoffs. How does Murphy not argue that though? F'n bizarre

I think the exhibition games were clear. TD has been elevated to Fried personal catcher and Murphy will start vs. others. TD was on A team for Fried start and Murphy was then just paired with our starting pitchers Interesting line-up - like the move to simply get our best hitters the most ABs...

I'm hopeful that Elder started with B team today to face our good hitters and they paired Murphy with B team to align pitchers and catchers. That makes sense frankly and he started A team yesterday. That would imply we should expect Murphy for non-Fried starts. Will see
