They have hit their stride at the right moment. Come on Braves, let's make it to the World Series.
And we lost Acura and Ozuna the wife beater dude! Supposedly, he's been cleared but I'd say he's done.Winning the first game in this home stand was huge. Phillies couldn't afford to lose the momentum they had coming in. Remaining 2 games were a losing battle.
Still, I cannot believe a team that failed to get above .500 till August actually won the division. What a grind, as Snit said!
Hate that...And we lost Acura and Ozuna the wife beater dude! Supposedly, he's been cleared but I'd say he's done.
I don't even think Bryce Harper got a hit this week!.
Acuña (auto-correct did you no favors there)And we lost Acura and Ozuna the wife beater dude! Supposedly, he's been cleared but I'd say he's done.
I don't even think Bryce Harper got a hit this week!.
If they don't hold on to Duvall then they are crazy. The guy is a fan favorite and a solid player.When the braves where 7 games back a few months ago Vagas gave then a 1.5% chance to win the National leauge east. Wish I would have made some bets.
Resign Duvall coming off a 38HR 112rRBI season a fan favorite get....Acuna back healthy and tell ozuna to walk..... the braves would have to eat some contract but be worth it I think.
Tweak the pitching some and the braves would still have one of the best teams in baseball next season.
No joke on the pitching. The Braves are firing on all cylinders until you rattle any of their pitchers besides Morton and Fried. Will Smith has surprised me down the stretch cause there for a few games it was Will Smith pitching= homer. He's been clutch here lately and let's hope he's still riding that wave. We need to start off solid and make sure we stop the bleeding if and when it starts. Once a pitcher gets rocked or the team has his number don't be afraid to try some unconventional to finish the game.The Braves are playing very good baseball---defense is approaching superb. Hitting is great-take a look at the final RBI totals--1, 2, & 3 are Braves.
Pitching is shorthanded. This is the problem. Ynoa maybe could help out but he has to throw strikes and depend on his defense. Anderson scares me to death......lost his way and cannot seem to find the path back. Morton and Fried cannot do it all on their own in a 7 game series but up against Milwaukee I am thinking Fried and Morton will both go on short rest. Win the first two and pray for rain, I am not joking. I am hoping Acuna is present in the dugout or someplace in the stadium where he can be of great aid in getting the crowd revved up.
In the meantime, the Cardinals are going to win the WC game with the Dudgers hurting themselves and Kershaw taking a powder. Then the Giants will be a real breeze, the Cards aint the rockies.
As for the little sister league Astro's will lose because they cannot beat garbage can lids anymore. White sox will lose, the stress will get to them. Boston will lose, Cora wont be cheating. Yanks and Tampa.....Depends on whether or not Judge and Stanton start killing the ball every time up. Tampa might carry the day.
So its braves or cardinals versus Yanks or Tampa.
Yes, they cannot make the mistake of 2019 when Folty lost the zone. That was torture to watch, an entire season down the drain.
Ynoa is or could be this years Folty. Or Jackson. I think Smyly was DFA'd. Minter may be seen......mighty slim pickings.
