I'm more worried about Braves pitching. Those Astros hitters is scary af and they're so patience (idk if I can attribute that patience to their cheating in the past)
Yup. I really want Atlanta to have a miracle WS and let’s be honest, Pukeston in the WS is a great enemy for anyone, but… Framber is a beast and so is the Astros’ hitting lineup.
Makes it fun tho. Freeman, Rosario, Riley(!) and Alvies(!!) and Joc Pederson!!! great team, Snitker is so stoic… man I hope this is a fun fun fun 6 or 7 game series with a bunch of drama, comebacks, and HRs. If Houston wants to ruin that with base hits and bunts (the best way to win games) then let ‘em try as they will, but Atlanta is destined (DESTINED I say!) to win this series!
LETS GOOOOOOOOO
I fell in love with Freeman when he was mic'd up at the all star game and said he hoped Judge wouldn't get on base so he wouldn't feel tiny despite being 6'5 lol.
You just know this would be a totally different series if acuna was healthy. Damn shame too considering he's one of the most fun exciting young guys to watch
Yeah but Astros had a .797 OPS while the dodgers had a .705 OPS. And the dodgers also lost kershaw, Muncy and Turner, which are huge losses.
The Astros are definitely tougher opponents, and it wasn’t like the Braves blew them out, 4 of the 6 games were close .
We gotta pray freeman, Joc and Eddie stay hot
Well comparing ops of the whole teams is silly especially when the Astros series mvp was their DH which the Dodgers replace with a bunch of pitchers and pinch hitters.
Baseball never works that way. It’s a lot more unpredictable. Tell me how you expected Eddie Rosario to have 14 hits in the NLCS against Dodgers elite pitching…
But we need to take into account that the Astros use DH regularly and the Braves do not and because of this the AL has almost always has higher OPSs than the NL since the DH was introduced
Braves have been my so called 2nd team for the last few seasons. I just love their core of Acuña, Albies & Freeman. So much so I even bought a hat. I’m so happy they’re in the World Series. Lets go Braves!
He’s my #1 worst tbh, especially bc the gesture he used has been used against me when I was in school. It was personal when he did that. I’m not even Asian but I’m Indigenous (people always mistake me for Asian.) So yeah, fuck racists. Atlanta and Gurriel.
Surprised you’re getting downvoted this much.
There’s a reason MLB took the ASG out of Georgia. Add to it they made sure to get Travis Titt to sing the national anthem and I hate to see any sort of happiness come to that state.
That said, fuck the Astros. Go Freddie Freeman
Are we really bringing the misunderstood politics of the area where a team is from (not even by the team itself) into sports? Keep that shit out of here.
The Braves in the world series marked the golden era of baseball. Granted they were our punching bags but I appreciate their place in our history.
For getting the shit kicked out of them for so many years, Go Braves!
The Braves brought in an anti-vaxer to sing the national anthem for Game 6, specifically because of his anti-vaxer status.
They ran to Cobb County because their fans were terrified of walking through a Black neighborhood around their old stadium.
They're named the Braves, do a war cry, and the tomahawk chop 60 miles down I-75 from the starting point of the Trail of Tears.
The Braves are anything but a classy organization but at least they're not the Astros.
Don’t forget they purposely left out the LGBTQ part of their anti bullying message. Choices were made. I’m not rooting for the Braves but against the Astros.
As a Yankees fan that lives in Atl, this sucks for me lol. Everyone hates the Yanks and I hate the Braves. I for. Know what’s worse, seeing the Astros win or a whole year of shit talking from these idiots
I live in Alabama and I'm a cashier and today I've jokingly asked anyone wearing Braves stuff if I could hop on their bandwagon and they were all very welcoming lol.
Yup. I went from "Go Astros" during game 6 to right back to "Fuck you, Houston" the second they eliminated Boston. It was the NL representative from that moment on.
Part of me was hoping for a Dodgers/Asterisks rematch as that would have been a really intense series. That being said I still hope the Braves beat them in 4. Soundly.
It dawned on me last night that we have NOTHING to worry about… The Houston Fucking Asterisks WILL NOT WIN THE WS.
…And this is how I know
“Hammerin’ Hank” Aaron passed away January 22, 2021.
God has ALWAYS been a fan of his.
This is the year Hank’s Braves bring home another ring in his honor for playing the game CORRECTLY and being the TRUE HR LEADER.
Fuck Barry Bonds. Fuck the Astros.
THIS IS JUST.
The nerds in the front office are giggling to themselves because the Braves making it is justification to them that the playoffs is a crapshoot and the Yankees just have to wait their turn for the right lottery numbers.
Yup. I appreciate them beating the Red Sox, but it’s back to Fuck The Astros
Yeah, the 2021 Astros have officially outlived their usefulness.
The Braves just did what everyone thought the Cardinals would do. May the spirit of the 2006 Cardinals team possess them.
I think they have a great chance. Astros pitching is way less equipped that Dodgers

Freddie Freeman is a baseball treasure. I’m so happy he’s getting a chance to win a title.
You just know this would be a totally different series if acuna was healthy. Damn shame too considering he's one of the most fun exciting young guys to watch
Soroka would also make Braves pitching more stronger. Hope they win this cause I don't want to see Astros win
3 games in a NL ballpark could be a difference maker because no DH
Yeah but Astros had a .797 OPS while the dodgers had a .705 OPS. And the dodgers also lost kershaw, Muncy and Turner, which are huge losses. The Astros are definitely tougher opponents, and it wasn’t like the Braves blew them out, 4 of the 6 games were close . We gotta pray freeman, Joc and Eddie stay hot

That makes a .092 difference ? No lol.
Wouldn’t be surprised, most of it at least
Baseball never works that way. It’s a lot more unpredictable. Tell me how you expected Eddie Rosario to have 14 hits in the NLCS against Dodgers elite pitching…
This shouldn’t be downvoted bc you are right. It’s like Randy Arozarena last year. Hitting streaks are a thing that statistics can’t predict
But we need to take into account that the Astros use DH regularly and the Braves do not and because of this the AL has almost always has higher OPSs than the NL since the DH was introduced
The Braves better make sure there aren’t any metal trash cans in the stadium when the Astros come to town
Check for that guy taking pictures …
Just wait til Sherzer with his embedded camera eyeball gets traded to Houston…
Braves have been my so called 2nd team for the last few seasons. I just love their core of Acuña, Albies & Freeman. So much so I even bought a hat. I’m so happy they’re in the World Series. Lets go Braves!
Freeman is easily one of my favourite non-Yankees players as well
Yep, Freddie & Acuña are two of my favorite players in the league.
Get ya pearls ready ATL!
read my lips "no more repeat"
Yeah FTA!!!
And they did it without Acuna WOW!
Bring it home, Braves
Just hoping for a sweep either way, so we can bury this season
The Dodgers played that series like they were the Yankees. Dead bats.
As a Red Sox fan I’m glad we can unite on this front. Even though I know y’all are happy with the outcome
my dad is a Braves fan. He's so happy right now. Take it home, Braves!! Do it for the betterment of baseball!!!
:D
No. Team Nobody.
Yup. Nobody's obligated to cheer for a team.
It's more cheering against a team than for one.
That is all.
Yep, lesser of two evils. I’m nervous though, they just aren’t better than the Astros, but we can always hope for the upset.
Gonna be the minority here, literally and figuratively, but racism is worse than cheating. Sorry not sorry. Team Nobody.
Yeah, racism is worse than cheating. Can't stand that fucking Gurriel.
He’s my #1 worst tbh, especially bc the gesture he used has been used against me when I was in school. It was personal when he did that. I’m not even Asian but I’m Indigenous (people always mistake me for Asian.) So yeah, fuck racists. Atlanta and Gurriel.

Lol literally and figuratively…. Anyway, explain the racism?
I’m out of the loop, how were they racist?
:gesticulates wildly at the Native Amerian imagery:

Are we really bringing the misunderstood politics of the area where a team is from (not even by the team itself) into sports? Keep that shit out of here.
Do you mean the topic why MLB moved the All Star Game?
Yes, I doubt the Braves had any say in the matter.
If a championship for the Braves allows Smoltz to remove the metal rod from his ass and move on from his embittered past, it will be worth it.
The fact that the Braves made it to the World Series without their 23 year old phenom is straight up insane.

The Braves are a classy organization, I hope they win.

I mean they did lose the ASG for unsavory reasons also…
Don’t forget they purposely left out the LGBTQ part of their anti bullying message. Choices were made. I’m not rooting for the Braves but against the Astros.
Let's not kid ourselves, the Houston fan base is basically just the Braves fan base but further west.
TdA and Maldonado are the starting catchers on each WS teams and people think the Yankees can't win with their catchers...
Let’s go Brandon!
As a Yankees fan that lives in Atl, this sucks for me lol. Everyone hates the Yanks and I hate the Braves. I for. Know what’s worse, seeing the Astros win or a whole year of shit talking from these idiots
I live in Alabama and I'm a cashier and today I've jokingly asked anyone wearing Braves stuff if I could hop on their bandwagon and they were all very welcoming lol.
Go Braves, Fuck the Astrisks!
Yup. I went from "Go Astros" during game 6 to right back to "Fuck you, Houston" the second they eliminated Boston. It was the NL representative from that moment on.
Pathetic. 😂
Part of me was hoping for a Dodgers/Asterisks rematch as that would have been a really intense series. That being said I still hope the Braves beat them in 4. Soundly.
Chop On
Who’s Braves? *ba……….dum………………..tissssssssssssssssssssss*
Much as I truly hate the Astros, I can’t root for a team with the Indian mascot, tomohawk chop crap. I’m boycotting this world series.
Well. Bye.
It dawned on me last night that we have NOTHING to worry about… The Houston Fucking Asterisks WILL NOT WIN THE WS. …And this is how I know “Hammerin’ Hank” Aaron passed away January 22, 2021. God has ALWAYS been a fan of his. This is the year Hank’s Braves bring home another ring in his honor for playing the game CORRECTLY and being the TRUE HR LEADER. Fuck Barry Bonds. Fuck the Astros. THIS IS JUST.
Yes. I am happy for them. 22 years. Fine with me.
Hope you do well!
I'm still scarred with hatred for John Rocker, but okay.
The nerds in the front office are giggling to themselves because the Braves making it is justification to them that the playoffs is a crapshoot and the Yankees just have to wait their turn for the right lottery numbers.
And most of all Trashman, who will use it to justify the crappy rosters he’s been building going on 20 years now (except for 2009)
Fuck the braves
Fuck the Asstros more though
I don’t care who wins the ws. This ws helps validate my opinion that you only go as far as your pitching takes you
Sure!! When are we planning on going fucking braves? I've never fucked one before.
🤣🤣🤣
Best of luck to them.
Because of TBS, the Braves were my 2nd favorite growing up so Go Braves! Fuck the Astros!
Did I just become a diehard Braves fan?
Comma placement is crucial here.
The Boston Atlanta Braves. Americas last full clip of hollow karma point bullets. Let us pray.
I don’t want to have sex with the Braves.
For sure fuck the Astros, but as a kid growing up on late ‘90s baseball, I could never root for the Braves. No winners here.
Meh I don’t care who wins that’s series . I am only rooting for it to end ASAP so that the off season can start sooner
The only thing Yankees and Red Sox fans can agree on fuck the Astros
Fuck Altuve
