Atlanta Braves

[Heath423]

Back at the cards series skid was worried they peaked too soon. Happy to see them turning it back on late in season with no more to gain in standings. Got to enter postseason with momentum

It's my understanding that they will be playing simulated games to remain fresh and tuned up. Opposed to all the days off that didn't work last year.

Started out rough but yesterday Strider beat Johns Smoltz single season strikeout record with 277....new franchise record...Go Braves!

 

[DoubleRidge]

I think I'd rather play the Marlins than the Phillys...but I hope the wild card series goes three long extra inning games that depleats their pitching...not likeky to happen...but one can hope.

My thoughts exactly

Either the Marlins or the Phillies could beat the Braves. But I'm just glad we're not facing the Cardinals, this year…a million bloop hits. Jobu seems to take care of them when they're in the playoffs.

By the looks of things with another 6 uneventful outs we will be playing the Phillies come Saturday

Yep...hope pitching is rested and ready.
Nobody wants to face Atlantas lineup
and I wouldnt think Wheeler (and certainly not Nola) would be ready Saturday...unless Wheeler goes on short rest....Braves need to win Game 1.

Buddy of mine said the Braves crushed 7 home runs today. Ozuna, Acuna, d'Arnaud and Riley.....Bad news is that they hit them off our bull pen....I hope Fried, Strider and Elder are ready...Chop on!

Yeah the stage is set now. Go Braves!

What a pitiful performance.

 

[wayne]

Lol

 

[DoubleRidge]

Wheeler was lights out.

But what an amazing ending!!

Now the concern is pitching.

Game-3 Elder? + long relief if he gets in trouble?
Short leash?

Game-4 Strider

Game-5 (if needed) Fried

Chop on!!!

I'm going to have a stroke with these playoff games and the Braves. Just kill everyone during the regular season, break records left and right, and ChOkE come playoffs. I don't even want to say it but…… I don't think they make it beyond Phillies

Is the game that's on now live ?

Yes and don't remind me….. 6 home runs and Braves are getting destroyed 10-2 Phillies up

 

[Hduke86]

Harper about to hit #3 homer of the night

 

[DoubleRidge]

Gotta win tomorow and force Game 5 in Atlanta...backs against the wall.

 

[Hduke86]

Big game tonight for the Braves win and fight another day or go home with your tail tucked.

 

[Bamamonts]

Riley hit a solo home run. Braves on top 1-0.

 

[Gravey]

Braves choke and lose game and series 3-1.
