Strider on mound.

Braves lead 6-0 in top of 4th!!!!

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Undefeated since the AS break.

Braves are back baby.

That throw by Acuna..........I saw it and that was all I needed to see for that game.

Wow.

 

[BamaNation]

Maybe a 5 day break where only 2 players actually did anything during the ASG break is what they needed

They jumped out early on the Jankees (as the doorman for my building when I lived there called them).

Their payroll is nearly $300MM and they've been struggling since June. We got them at the right time and have to continue to be aggressive. I don't think Braves make any significant moves buying or selling any time soon. Nobody wants what we have and we don't want to spend on this group.

Regardless, I'll enjoy wins like this.

Wow.

Here's the video for those that missed it:

Wow.

Bo Jackson-esque.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Braves blow a big lead and Iglesias gave up a grand slam in a tied game in the 9th.

 

[BamaNation]

Who would have thought that could happen? He needs to be relegated.

 

[BamaNation]

Iglasias’ ERA is over 5. I long for the days of Smoltz or Kimbrell when closers were expected to ACTUALLY CLOSE OUT THE FRIGGIN GAME … AND DID!

 

[DzynKingRTR]

We could trade him for half a bag of doritos and a nickel.

 

[BamaNation]

Demoralizing also for the fans who stayed and watched this debacle.

Snitker only words should be “ we blew it and have to take accountability for winning games instead of finding ways to lose them. Starts with me and we are going to stay up all night and assess every position and player on whether or not we think they can and will help us win starting tomorrow.”

We could trade him for half a bag of doritos and a nickel.

May not get the bag of doritos. But i would take the nickel

 

[BamaNation]

Man. when we were up 7-2 I was thinking this one is over. Yanks said Not so fast my friends.

i want to hear the homer analysts rip them

 

[BamaNation]

Aaarrrggghhh this one frustrates me.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

I'm tired, Boss

 

[DzynKingRTR]

at least it wasn't by one run today. progress right?

I’m basically just tuning in to see Acuna at this point.

He at least does something on a daily basis be it a defensive play or stealing a few bases or getting on base or hitting a homer.

The rest of the team is largely just lifeless.

We need to sell but then again who in the world wants what we’re selling?

The only player anyone would want is Acuńa and if AA trades him, he should be fired 30 seconds after the trade

 

[CrimsonNagus]

Snit going back to Iglesias as the closer is just more proof how dumb of a manager he is. There are better options in the pen, but Snit keeps going back to the worst era to “close” things out.
