The Atlanta Braves

[Blake25p]

Its not even the pitching that has me down. Its the offense has looked completely anemic through 3 games. We are still late on every fastball we see.
Even if Spencer only gives up 3 or 4, I dont think we can score that much with Philly just challenging us with 99.

It’s almost like a week off throws off your timing

Yup, that's what I said the other day. It's fine for the pitchers but it kills the hitters timing.

Some Jeremy Pruitt “geez what do you want me to do” vibes this entire press conference



“You can second guess everything we do, if it doesn’t work it’s not the right move.”

Just a horrible, awful way to manage a team in any capacity. Just a guy who doesn’t get it.

Definitely has "...the one where you don't let them get behind you for a 60 yard gain, Jimmy" vibes. Spot on.

Maybe, but to me Bryce Harper will always be the PUNK. He earned that moniker when with the Nationals & is still stands IMO.

Harper did what he was supposed to with the bat. The antics post swing(s) is enough to warrant a ball in the ear hole. He will always be a passive aggressive douche. Braves are just lying down and accepting that they are the Phil’s b***h. I don’t believe we have the dawg in us to fight back to win this series.

We need 6-8 innings of 9th inning Ricky Vaughn from Spencer tonight. Shove it straight up their asses.

 

[Blake25p]

I fully expect Strider to be locked in tonight.

 

[zjcvols]

Lol this has me irrationally angry

I woke up mad about this quote. Bryce Harper, the best left handed hitter of a generation, and certified playoff stud, just happened to hit a home run. Snit is such a donkey.

Every time this team has a few days off. They come out flat for the next series of baseball. Its been a season trend. Lets hope they bounce back

We dubbed him "punk" while at a weekend series in Atlanta when Harper was a Nationals rookie. Braves bats awaken & they could come back.

This kind of funny

I think the bet if you bet it, is taking Atlanta to win the series

It needs to be stated. The DS series has got to be 7 games moving forward. Playing 5 in today’s baseball environment is lunacy

 

[Regulator]

I am beyond tired of hearing about Bryce and his “revenge game” and how he stared Arcia down both times, yada yada yada…..

I hope Strider stares their entire lineup down as he K’s 15 over seven scoreless.

5 is fine

 

[zjcvols]

5 is fine

Nah man. No reason to have 5 and then 7-7. It’s more games for MLB. They play the WS in November anyways. Make it 7.

 

[zjcvols]

Braves have lost 8 straight elimination games. Last time was Game 4 against Houston in 2004. Braves are due.

 

[hUTch2002]

There was no “callout.” He said it amongst teammates.

Except there was media everywhere, just like there is in the locker room after every game. To expect that not to get out is dumb.

Everyone hates 5 because last year and we are down this year. If we were winning these series nobody would be combining.

Not true! I have been advocating for 7 for awhile!

Assuming Philadelphia advances

With the new one game WC format in 2012 (excluding 2020 of course), 8 wild card teams advanced to the LCS

With the new format in 2022, 5 wild cards teams will have advanced to the LCS

Now, could this just be baseball? Absolutely. You’re adding two teams to the mix, the variance will of course be higher. But I just find this interesting.

To define what he said as a “callout” is also dumb.

Exactly. This whole thing is stupid that some social media dude who is a Phillies fan reported on. It’s moronic.

 

[zjcvols]

It’s not like Arcia was telling the pitcher “throw it again” next to a hot mic in the dugout for everyone to hear.

 

[zjcvols]

My man Snit was like “aight” instead of walking this dude

 

[zjcvols]

Z’s irrational take of the day: If we had Bryce Harper, we’ve got 3 rings. That dude is different man
