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

[bravesnumberone]

I hate em. Mostly I hate em bc he shows up when it counts. I wish Acuna would do the same

Thing is he never really showed up that much in the postseason until last year. Acuña needs his signature series.

 

[USMA76]

Until proven otherwise, we are to the Phillies what the Mets are to us.

 

[zbhargrove]

Harper was already killing the braves this series and season

No doubt… the dude thrives in the big moment. We need some of our dudes to step up

 

[VirginiaBrave]

Wish this guy would wake up

 

[CyYoung31]

Why are these ABs such ****ing trash, man?

Yup it's Acuna's fault, not Ozuna's Arcia Rosarios or Harris's fault who have a combined OPS lower than Acuna. Sure you wish Acuna would be showing up more, but he's not the problem.

 

[Metaphysicist]

Ozuna is alive.

 

[Metaphysicist]

Oh my god blue the Phillies do not need your assistance.

Yeah, those are Acuna's equals

 

[Strike3urout]

Everyone is expanding their strikezone. Really means little how good the offense was in the regular season. Smart pitchers know how to exploit them

 

[jsebe10]

Ozuna is alive.

Of course. There is zero pressure down 6 runs

 

[bravesnumberone]

Ozuna can seriously eat a dick. NOW he gets a hit.

 

[jsebe10]

Jesus Jones TDA! It's in your eyes son

 

[msstate7]

If they knew what they were doing, they wouldn’t actively punt a swing game and set up elimination. That makes no sense, and if that was actually the plan then the entire organization should be fired.

I agree. Still, it seems that was exactly the plan. How else do you explain the 3rd?

 

[drewdat]

With the expected pitching matchups, I think Game 5 was always likely. Win Strider vs. bullpen tomorrow (like we badly needed to in Game 1), then hope Wheeler's elbow disintegrates in Atlanta.

 

[jsebe10]

If anyone is curious...Michael Harris is 1-21 at the plate in his very young post season career

 

[CyYoung31]

Snit is a terrible manager and went rogue, just like game 3 last year.

 

[bravesnumberone]

It would be wise to pull our top hitters so they don't screw themselves up even more trying to hit six-run homers.

Lol dude Ranger is going probably 7 tomorrow. There is no bullpen game for Philly

Snit is a terrible manager and went rogue, just like game 3 last year.

If he went rogue, he should be "retired"
