The Atlanta Braves

[Jackcrevol]

I recall the Braves teams with Sheffield hit a ton of HR...during the season....until they played the Yankees. Gotta he able to hit hits.

 

[LotteryPick]

Teams are 4-4 in Game 1’s since the new format.

Houston scored 6 the other day. LA put up a good number last year against San Diego.

The boys got four days off at the ASB and Olson hit a grand slam in the first inning. It’s an excuse because they don’t have any belief they can beat Philly.

Brother they haven’t played a game that has mattered in a month. That matters when a team this good comes to town.

He’s flat out dominating right now

 

[zjcvols]

How many middle-fastballs we gonna miss today? 25?

 

[raw dog]

lol

 

[GAVol]

He’s flat out dominating right now

Yep. Overpowering.

 

[raw dog]

He’s flat out dominating right now

Yup

 

[hUTch2002]

O/U on strikeouts is 16.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This is why you over pay for a guy like Wheeler in FA.

 

[vols 30]

Wheeler can throw 100 fastballs tonight and they won’t catch up to a single one.

No confidence. No energy. No juice. Put a fork in them.

We absolutely had to have game 1 because Wheeler shutting us down was a likely outcome.

They did lead the league in BA.

 

[zjcvols]

Best offense ever gonna get blanked in two straight games to start the playoffs

It would probably help my position had I actually watched a game this year. Thank you MLB blckouts.

Phillies are our kryptonite, it seems.

What was the reason last year?

I get the playoffs are a crap shoot. We played a hot team last year and that **** happens. But this isn’t the same team from the regular season man. They have nothing right now. The body language is terrible.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Good news is, I think we win game 3.
Spence is a dawg in G4.
We get a winner take all in G5.
We can still do this.

Philly is the only team in the league that can challenge us with straight gas. 95% of their arms are 95+

Fried SHOULD keep it close. team is letting a monumental oppo slip away.

 

[GAVol]

The only slight glimmer of hope is that Wheeler’s pitch count isn’t great in the 1st 2 innings.

They're getting good wood on him. I dont know they might break it open.

 

[AV_12]

Yeah they are a problem



Can’t take a week off or have pitchers on IL either

Like that

 

[vols 30]

Ball game boys. Great year. Disappointing finish.

Regular season means jack****

 

[raw dog]

what a ****ing terrible pitch.

89 dead middle

 

[GAVol]

Like that

It was only a matter of time. Fried’s command is off and he’s not getting any calls.
