It’s a real shame the Braves have the whole racism thing, otherwise I feel like they could be a favorite for the neutrals. Doesn’t really matter though, they’re losing to the Brewers in 4 max.

Popete posted:The exploitative Albies contract really sucks. Braves have some fun players but with Acuna out as well it's hard to find a reason to cheer for them as a neutral. yeah I wish Albies had held out for more but I also understand taking the guaranteed payday that will take care of your family for life. Really just taking advantage of people whose countries our own has dedicated itself to destroying.

camoseven posted:America sucks but I'm not aware of any specifically anti-Curaçaoan policies I was imprecise there, true: with Curaçao it’s more indirect but the tighter sanctions get against Venezuela the more it fucks with Curaçao, especially cutting deep into trade and causing spikes in unemployment in addition to just the uncertainty over whether the US will use their island to launch attacks in the mainland. Anyways, hurray baseball.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Yeah idk what the odds would be going with a bullpen game, it's baseball so just a floor of like 40% anyway, but I am really curious how much that number moves pushing a rickety old guy you absolutely need going forward anyway harder than he has gone in a long time.

Looking forward to an epic 20+ inning Giants-Dodgers Game 5 that leaves the victor too physically and emotionally exhausted to put up much of a fight in the NLCS (Braves are doomed no matter what but anything to level the field a bit)

Braves are screwed, they are substantially worse than last year plus now the Dodgers have Trea Turner who is a one-man Atlanta wrecking crew. This series feels like approaching a tank year except for the postseason.

HOTLANTA MAN posted:Eh its fine, no Acuña, etc. They did a stellar job just getting this far. Resign Freddie and the window is still wide open. Exactly, they got another division title and NLCS appearance on the cheap so now it’s basically just go out, try not to embarrass yourselves too badly, look to next year.

Dodgers are starting Knebel against Fried so the Braves basically have to win this one to stand any chance. Morton's not going till game 3 to give him a little extra rest, if this one is 2-0 Dodgers or maybe even 1-1 going back to LA it's not coming back to Atlanta afterwards.Popete posted:Anytime I watch a Braves home game and the chop starts it's just so embarrassing to see a stadium full of mostly white people having zero self awareness or just not caring. i mean that's just white people generally, just a particularly persistent and galling example

winning it in 6 and thus keeping Morton for game 1 is probably the thing that'll give the Braves a fighting chance, they should be able to go Morton-Fried-Anderson-bullpen and repeat

blossommirage posted:It's kinda ingrained in you as a Braves fan, just like most racist things. I definitely had the urge to post "CHOP" as well, it's like a weird instinct triggered by the time distorting effect of the Braves being good again. gently caress the chop, ignore the chopper(s), all y'all could really stop falling for one of the most naked trolling operations still left on these forums

Already seeing dumb conspiracy theories online that MLB is desperate for the Braves not to win after the All-Star Game got pulled this year, so look forward to that blowing up if the Astros do what they should in this series. Or really if anything happens, it's not going to stop stupid people

I know bullpen guys have weird careers but I still can't get past Tyler Matzek being two years removed from his second stint with the Texas AirHogs after getting ditched by the Rockies and failing to catch on with the White Sox, the Mariners, and the Diamondbacks.

https://twitter.com/mlbbowman/status/1453032472606871554?s=20 glad Camargo isn't on there since he's complete toast and Snit seems compelled to use him whenever he's on the roster. i get Gore as a pinch runner but wondering why not Pache who is nearly as fast and an elite defender. really though the bench doesn't matter for the games in Houston, barring injury the Braves' starting nine is in there to stay. Wright is an interesting call but I'm pretty sure he's there to soak up punishment in a blowout, other than the three starters no one else on the roster but Smyly can go more than 2 innings, and they'll need Drew's innings in the bullpen game. more upside than Jacob Webb for sure.

Tucker definitely becomes the new guy to soak up punishment or to offer up in game 5, where he’ll mop up whatever of Kyle Wright is left behind.

I feel like it wasn’t all that long ago that teams in these series had a defined fourth starter even if they sucked and that person would get the start. Is that wrong? I guess what I’m asking is when did bullpen games get this comprehensively normalized?

Pulling Anderson was a gutsy move but also a huge credit to the way the bullpen has come together. Braves probably had to have this one and they played it basically like an elimination game. Also Travis d’Arnaud, where has this been?

Honestly this Trump thing is the first time I’ve actually believed the Braves could do this because it is extremely sports for my team to succeed only under conditions that make it morally repugnant for them to do so, tainting the memory of it forever. See also Premier League/UEFA football and literally every single thing relating to college athletics.

Dylan Lee will get the start tonight as opener for the Braves in the World Series, which has to be one of the more improbable events in the game’s history Big Mean Jerk posted:Are we lucky enough to have the Braves fans boo Trump like in 2019, or are we going to get an extremely cursed Let’s Go Brandon chant while they also do the chop? you already know the answer to this elentar fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Oct 30, 2021 |

Sounds like the Braves will start Minter as the opener unless they run Chavez out there for an inning first. If things go bad at all then Davidson will soak up the punishment.
