BOOM ........ Braves finally score a run. We're cooking now boys w/2 outs of course..

Riley's real good at fouling the ball off. Strike 3 called on a low ball.
Would've been off the end of the bat if he'd even hit that called strike.

All things considered, the pitching hasn’t been awful for the Braves. 4 ER over 15 innings isn’t bad. 3 errors and no run support has been a killer. That’s where a true #1 comes in though. They can pitch around the bad defense and overcome their team’s shortcomings. Strider and Fried have the talent to be bonafide #1 but they have their flaws. Would be nice to strike a deal for someone like Gerrit Cole. That guy would be perfect for the Braves.

After this disappointing clown show on offense ..... the Braves get to go to Philly and watch them celebrate a win over us again like last year..

 

[VolPack22]

Travis d’Arnaud you Saint!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

BOOM ....... Travis D'arnaud with a 2 run bomb ..... 4-3 now.

 

[VolPack22]

4-3 after that bomb and Wheeler is chased.

If the Braves somehow miraculously comeback and win this game it would do wonders for their confidence. Just not a lot of outs left to get more runs across. Going to have to have some great ABs the rest of the way to get it done. Braves bullpen has been great all year. Hopefully they can hold it down.

Braves are seriously getting no-hit right now. Something told me that with the season we had we weren’t going to do well in the postseason. They need to trade one of these bats for a bonafide #1 pitcher in the offseason. Anyone except Acuña. I don’t care who they trade outside of him.

They have a ton of prospect arms. Maybe package some of them with Grissom.

 

[VolPack22]

That was a strike Pillar. Shut up and sit down.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Not a very flattering shot of Spencer Strider, yelling “F you” to the homeplate ump.

I don’t care what they have to do to get it done. Cole is currently 33 years old and still has some good years ahead of him. I’ll take him over some prospects that haven’t proven anything yet.

Arcia is about to tie this thing up!

 

[VolPack22]

Our guys act like they don’t know how to hit fastballs anymore.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Arcia is about to tie this thing up!

Or strikeout.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Arcia is about to tie this thing up!

Nope !

 

[VolPack22]

Arcia is about to tie this thing up!

Or keep adding to that ridiculously high strikeout number

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Our guys act like they don’t know how to hit fastballs anymore.

Wheeler certainly made guys look silly tonight.

Braves were 6th in the league for fewest strikeouts on offense and averaged a touch under 8/gm. They have 12 tonight in 7 innings…

 

[VolPack22]

Great start to the 8th. Popped up Schwarber.

 

[VolPack22]

Do they even have a good angle to challenge this lol
