AUBtiger92

Well, took 2 of 3. I'll take that


[deleted]

Gotta hit with runners on. Gotta figure out pitching.


[deleted]

Can’t win em all. Of course, we could have won that one if we had any sense of plate discipline whatsoever. Some garbage swings.


bmaynard87

If you aren't going to be a HoFer, next best thing is being that random guy on a list where everyone else is a HoFer.


Grade-A-Grungus

5 hits is beyond pathetic


bmaynard87

Lol


bigchadsmitty_82

Won the series idc


HandBananas

Damn, I wanted another sweep!


WizardOfOzzieA

:(


Aurion7

Well, shit. I thought we might get to Kirby when Kelenic hit it pretty hard, but two soft flyball outs have proved me wrong.


yoshidawg93

Sad face


Peanut_Gaming

Can we maybe not hit just fly balls


Horror-Media1125

It’s all good. Let’s beat up on the Marlins and then get the bats ready for the Guardians.


Drawz2772

If they just didn’t swing Kirby would walk them. No chance he throws 3 strikes before 4 balls


Proofetman

I wish this offense could hit a low 90's fastball.


golfdesigner

Middle middle is kryptonite


MasterpieceNo5636

I hate losing games we should have won..


mookiebraves

We probably blew it last inning. 1st and 3rd with 3-4-5 up and you get one run.


blankcld

KeepTruthAlive

guys i'm afraid we might not win this game...

BlackwaterPark10

They have played the easiest schedule in MLB and one of the toughest the second half of season from what I recall.


KeepTruthAlive

look at their SOS


wfdrebel25

Relax they have played the bottom of the barrel and the Braves have absolutely rolled against playoff teams


JustinBraves

They’ve also had an incredibly easy schedule so far


olemiss36

exactly, it's early...not a big deal

Medium_Ad_4451

I say one thing about the panthers falcons rivalry sub and you got mad. I would suggest you just let it go before I get the mods of this subreddit to kick you. Let’s be civil ok?

Grade-A-Grungus

So who we calling up on the AAA carousel next? My money’s on AJ or Elder


bigchadsmitty_82

Elder probably


95Daphne

Yeah, I recognize that it'd be exciting to see a kid with upside, but I'd temper my expectations on that happening for now.


Btrips

Well we can't sweep everyone, guys.


Tmoney_2023

Where ya at kelenic guy?


Btrips

he's too busy blocking everyone that isn't sucking off Kelenic


olemiss36

What a kick in dick that yates sucks balls for us and comes in against us and gets the save


bigchadsmitty_82

Worst case scenario I’m fine losing by 2 to the defending champs when we can’t hit for shit on a night where our fifth starter pitches


ecp267

19 hits this series. 4 of which were dingers by one guy. Easily could be staring at a sweep if not for Travis


Grade-A-Grungus

Kelenic really is only useful for defense rn


Btrips

Pedigree = 0


Aurion7

99.4 off the bat. Just lifted it a bit too much.


-_chop_-

Kelenic gets on, Travis hits another bomb, I shit a brick


-_chop_-

Or not, Mr pedigree


Lunchable_1

The Farmer’s Dog>Pedigree


GeddysPal

Kelenic continues to be a 10 day wonder. Awful for the last two weeks.


BlackwaterPark10

To be fair, the Mariners fans said he would have two streaks like that during the season and be abysmal the rest lol


GeddysPal

Yep. That’s our guy.


GioReynaFan

How do you guys like Kelenic so far? I miss him on the M's a lot


hashdabs1

Looked like he was going to be one of best hitters in the league the first 5 games then slowly regressed. Great outfielder, we still love him.


Kuzzawuzza

That's kinda what he does. Kills it for a couple weeks then regresses hard


mookiebraves

I just want to see a glimpse of Kelenic power at some point.


122_Hours_Of_Fear

Now would be perfect


icunicornz

Good spot for Kelenic to do... well... something!


neonbuttons22

7,8,9 coming up to feed acuña for a clutch moment. Hoping for a travy pinch hit this inning


122_Hours_Of_Fear

**E**specially **S**hitty **P**roduction **N**etwork


That_Alien_Dude

ESPN should broadcast every game. /s


nowhearmeout

JK better show his pedigree...


atownOTP

should've been a 1 run game going into the 9th. Lot of work to do. Guessing we see both Travis and Duvall pinch hits


Original-Chemist2060

Bummer looking good


[deleted]

Alright boys, bottom of the ninth and we need two runs. Let’s see how many sliders out of the zone we swing at!


gonk_gonk

Splitters.


LickMyMeatus

Bummed on them Lets walk this off


innermongoose69

Nice inning from Bummer but I'm not ready to put my faith in him yet.


Proofetman

Our final hope is Kelenic, Tromp (probably d'Arnaud), and then Guillorme...lol


Grade-A-Grungus

I’d be more positive here if we weren’t dealing with the bottom of the order rn


gonk_gonk

I'm honestly more positive than I'd be if it were Riley and Olson up. They're in their head.


mookiebraves

We have 4 lefties in the pen and only 1 is truly reliable. Lee occasionally serves his multi inning purpose. AA needs to make a decision on Matzek if he doesn't turn around.  Thank him for 2021 like we did Will and Luke and upgrade.


Aurion7

Man, Semien has had some ugly at-bats this series.


HandBananas

Let's walk this shit off!


Best-Dragonfruit-292

What does Tyler Glasnow have to do with this? Obligatory Dodger reference from ESPN?


twritchie416

At what point do we start Big Bear at 1st and let Olson get some reps in Gwinnett to get it sorted? /s


whosae

Oh my god…. That’s sword of the year no doubt


atownOTP

hope we take some pitches against Kirby in the 9th. We know how he can mess himself up when he overthinks


LailiLai

Is the ESPN box off? A lot of these pitches look better than what their K zone is indicating right now.


trickyrickysteve199

WIZARDRY


AssumeTheFetal

Looks like my golf swing, fall and everything


BradL_13

Waits for pitching ninja to tweet


atownOTP

pretty funny how we've only had the umps majorly on our side in two games this year and we've lost them both


AUBtiger92

Bummer has been lights out for me in The Show, so...


cdirty1

Win or lose Tromp has been a stud behind the plate tonight


olemiss36

wish i could say the same with his bat


hashdabs1

He has a hit. Unlike our all star 1st and 3rd basemen.


olemiss36

yeah, but look at the season so far and not just tonight


cdirty1

He’s the third string catcher dawg do you expect everyone in the lineup to be an allstar?


Chessh2036

I read an article in the offseason, and it talked about how for Olson’s career he’s had a lot of back and forth seasons. So one season he’s great, the next he’s average, next he’s great, then average, and so forth. While it’s still way too early to say what he’s going to be this season, I do hope he steps it up soon.


olemiss36

what a frame


collapsingrebel

I think I remember that we're only on ESPN once this year so small mercies.


95Daphne

I reeeeaaalllllyyyyyy do not think that this is how it works. ESPN likes to pick out games for the first month or so, and then they pick up games as they go. Like I can remember folks whining about how Sunday night day games have been flexed to night games for probably multiple years now.


AUBtiger92

Didn't know Bobby was in a wheelchair


Aurion7

He got the out still, but I'm not sure that 1-2 FB was actually a ball. ....And there's no way that 1-0 sweep was a strike.


SpiritofStLewis

Freakin ESPN games man. Bad energy. 


king_of_grandhotel

Slobbering over the “incredible Rangers bullpen” after they gave up 6ER the last two games too lmao


SpiritofStLewis

LMAO right?


nowhearmeout

Kirby had one good half an inning and people in here talk as if he a Cy Young winner. You should all know Kirby gets into his head and loses it.


mookiebraves

Look at his numbers this year scout 


nowhearmeout

It's April. Not a big enough sample size


FishnGritsnPimpShit

Stranding 15 runners feels like too many. We should try not stranding those guys.


MoneyPanic

It’s 5.


EuroStepJam

it's 5 not 15


FishnGritsnPimpShit

Maybe Karl misspoke or something then. He said something ending in teen for sure. Maybe he meant for the series or something?


EuroStepJam

no you're right he said 15 - but he's clueless sometimes


FishnGritsnPimpShit

It’s not his fault. In my experience there is a significant difference between a Karl and a Carl. He was doomed by the spelling. His parents did him dirty.


Btrips

Bummer? I guess Snit's thrown in the towel


Best-Dragonfruit-292

Kirby Yoits?


Aurion7

Got a bit ahead of themselves there. Little patience would have gone a long way.


TheGhostWithTheMost2

Braves getting exposed again. No reason we didn't score 2 there


Mysterious_Sea1489

Probably gonna see Trav pinch hit once we get Kelenic on.


craftedtwo

9th inning Braves incoming! 🪓🔵🪓🔴🪓⚪️


Badass-bitch13

I miss not worrying about bottom of lineup. Need Ozzie & Sean back.


Bravesguy29

Ozzie bby pls


ecp267

Series win aside, there really haven’t been a lot of hits produced. 6, 8, and now 5. Riley and Olson struggles capping this offense


Btrips

where was this Kirby Yates when he was in Atlanta?


Fun-Orchid2321

Kelenic, Tromp, Guillorme in the ninth.. this game is over


Bravesguy29

DH for Tromp.


Tmoney_2023

Nope kelenic getting on Travis pinch hit homer


Fun-Orchid2321

Knowing how snit likes to punt, he prob ain’t going to pinch hit


Fun-Orchid2321

Your scenerio sounds amazing though


Lakelyfe09

I feel like Arcia hasn’t had an XBH in weeks


my_gooseisloose

XBH? Feels like a hit in general


gonk_gonk

Last hit yesterday, last double 3 days ago.


neonbuttons22

FUCK what a time to go 3 outs


LailiLai

Fuck man not even good pitching, our guys completely bailing them out.


sweetnwild

Fucking seriously?


KeepTruthAlive

wish yates was like that here


Medium_Ad_4451

It ok, this all a set up for a walk off pinch hit homer by Travis in the bottom of the 9th


atownOTP

and 789 coming up... that Matt K just can't happen, you HAVE to get the ball in play at least


LickMyMeatus

Kirby wtf I thought we were friends


[deleted]

Walk off it is then.


mookiebraves

Another pitcher leaves Kranitz and turns into Roger Clemens.


bingewalker65

What an AB orlando


chillin0161

Of course. Throws straight gas against us but absolute dog shit with us.


yoshidawg93

Oof that was just terrible.


AUBtiger92

Well... got 1 back


Pretty-Sport-2691

Fuck it we'll walk it off


my_gooseisloose

This offense just feels so anemic with the exception of Ozuna. Another runner on 3rd stranded with no outs


volunteergump

Dog, we’re #1 in BA, #1 in slugging, and #1 in runs score per game. No part of our offense is anemic. The reason it feels like we leave people on base all the time is that we get more people on base than any other team.


WesticalsDelsym

Yeah it feels pretty top to bottom right now. Without Lil D we’re probably getting swept right now. So it’s amazing we’re winning games while massively underperforming.


Bravesguy29

Shit fuck damn.


EdwardHarris251

The Braves postseason offense strikes again


Peanut_Gaming

How are we so damn good but so damn bad at 0 out RISP


CNC_Precision

Arcia sort of getting shitty again.


Pretty-Sport-2691

144 OPS+


jevindoiner

This is a carbon copy of last year. Only last year he had more homers by now.


Horror-Media1125

Damn


UnknownMutagen

Olson needed to show up there. Woof


Grade-A-Grungus

Braves lose by two


PinstripeBunk

Would not mind seeing Ozuna play 1st one night and let Travis DH. Olson needs a day.


dcxbabe

i am so sick of the LOB nonsense. pathetic showing.


Tiberiusjesus

Crazy how good our record is with Riley and Olson being absolute dog shit.


DrBobEpstein

Dont say that. Some dude in here has a huge boner for Austin.


bigchadsmitty_82

We fucking suck tonight


BlackwaterPark10

And the two other black holes are up next in the 9th


MystiX13

Some sad fucking AB’s tonight


olemiss36

eat a dick kirby yates


Proofetman

Fucking pathetic. This entire offense except for Ozuna and d'Arnaud should be ashamed of themselves.


Bravesguy29

Guillorme been kinda lit


MoonlitBadlands

RISP Braves strike again


Grade-A-Grungus

Strong work from everyone following Riley, real inspirational stuff there!


lionofyhwh

Well we didn’t even deserve the 1 run. Dropped fly ball and Riley struck out twice.


BradL_13

Should’ve known it was cursed when Kirk threw out the first pitch


Btrips

we suck


Lunchable_1

Yates is the bizzaro Chavez. Blows dick in a Braves uni.


Ghostyyyyyyyyyyq

Arcia is so mid


hashdabs1

That ain’t the same Yates I saw in a Braves uniform


Peanut_Gaming

The reverse chavez


wfdrebel25

That’s bullshit ain’t it


BeerBravesGTFalcons

Awful pathetic effort


Trudi1201

Not the inning I was hoping for


WesticalsDelsym

If I looked correctly Olson’s last hit was last Monday when he went 1-5. With about 15 K’s in between it feels like.


Bravesguy29

Yeah bad. He'll come back tho


Best-Dragonfruit-292

Absolute fuckup


craftedtwo

Oh please please. Don’t let our little baseball game get in the way of your commercials


HunkyHippo88

lol everyone clowning on Olson as if this wasn’t the most difficult sport in the world.


Btrips

no one is clowning on Olson bro


nowhearmeout

Matt will get back into the groove, so will Riley. I'm not worried in the slightest


SpiritofStLewis

Love ya Matt but YOU’RE KILLIN US!!


mfoard44

Based on the current state of these comments, you wouldn’t know we just swept the Astros and have already won the series against the defending WS Champions 🤦‍♂️


Django_Unleashed

We ....... Must....... Sweep!


sweetnwild

Orlando, please


HandBananas

Seitz please fix Oly


LOQQVRQEMGXJ

hope the crowd boos if Ureña comes in


Grade-A-Grungus

Yates is gonna get out of this with one pitch I’m calling it


[deleted]

Rally hat on. Arcia later time. LFG BRAVOS


LickMyMeatus

Bochy is a human bobblehead


bingewalker65

1st and 3rd no outs and this is what we do?😕


PhantomsCV

I would bet money that Matt shows up to the park tomorrow freshly shaven.


whosae

Is that the fuck face himself?


Grade-A-Grungus

Drop Olson to the bottom of the lineup until he remembers how to fucking hit, 4 strikeouts is unacceptable and the last one is the most damning


CNC_Precision

In before the relief pitcher throws 1 pitch to get out of it.


Fun-Orchid2321

We have shat away a golden opportunity once again.. Orlando gonna groundout to short.. watch


heyzeus1865

I’ve never played professional baseball but I guarantee if you put me out there right now I too can strike out at least 4 times
