[bravesnumberone]

Likely gonna come down to Acuña. Will he do something special with the game on the line?

Looks at box - after 7th inning, so unlikely

 

[msstate7]

Grossman getting extended.

 

[chop2chip]

If grossman gets out, will they let Acuna hit?

Dusty may decide otherwise but book says don’t IBB the go ahead run

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

It truly is amazing to see other teams put together solid at bats in extra innings against the Braves on a consistent basis and then see our players go down in order without any drama essentially every time.

What a moron.

 

[bravesnumberone]

DOB had the article about our analytics people immediately showing Grossman some things he could change with his left-handed swing. Appears to be paying off.

THE BRAVES SCORED 2 RUNS JUST LIKE THE ASTROS BY PULLING THE BALL JUST LIKE THE ASTROS. INCREDIBLE PIECES OF HITTING.

AA is the goat

 

[bravesnumberone]

Still sets up for Jackson Stephens to give up four runs.

AA is the goat

Bill wilson is great

 

[msstate7]

Man, Acuna is straight trash late in games

 

[chop2chip]

AA is the goat

AA hired some very well respected people to run his analytics department (Mike Fast and Jason Pare)

Acuña has been solid enough but I think we're just going to have to wait until next year for him to be back to his old self.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Acuña had to know there was no chance he was getting a fast ball behind in the count.

Annnnnd of course Dansby swinging out of his shoes first pitch. Repeat pattern.

Jackson Stephens, your turn to give up three.

That was a nasty fckn splitter lol…that’s one of the best you’ll see. To Ronnie’s defense lol.

 

[zbhargrove]

Stephens, matzek? Both are worse

I dunno... I feel like Matzek has been getting back at it

He was trash after the 6th inning last year. Dude can't seem to hit late anymore

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Ugh. We needed to win it there.

 

[msstate7]

I dunno... I feel like Matzek has been getting back at it

Man, I hope so. We need em

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Why not use Tarnok. Let the kid pitch
