    This is purely for the Astros benefit. Yankees and Dodgers sitting at home would be delicious.

    I totally get it. **** the Doyers. I already got part of my wish, that is, Joe Kelly got hit and pussed out. I just wish he'd gotten hit literally.

    Not sure what good it does running him out there again. Dumb.

    Of course the Braves would just go and choke today. I wouldn't expect anything else from a Atlanta sports team

    How is losing to a 107 win team in their home stadium choking?

    It was a bullpen game for the Dodgers and the Braves jumped out to a 2-0 lead, then they literally just died. Now they face Scherzer and Buehler in games 6/7. This is part 1 of the choke, there's two more chapters to go.

    They beat scherzer last time and lit buehler up in the game 3 loss.

    I’m still picking the braves to win one of the next two games at home

    Zero chance.

    Only an Atlanta team would find new ways to choke like this.

    I mean when you take the zoomed out perspective there’s no reason to criticize the braves this much.

    They are facing a juggernaut and protected home field. Then they stole one game in LA.

    They are coming back home with 2 chances to win the series

    So Betts just did the cardinal sin in baseball of not only stealing second in the 8th inning with a 5 run lead but then took off to steal 3rd.

    Yes they are down 3-1 and want to make sure the other team doesn't score during their last 3 outs... but do you really want to wake up a team that has you to the wall? Betts may get plunked.

    Plunk Taylor. Don't let him hit a 4th.

    So that hip wiggle body jerk thing Jansen does doesn't constitute a balk?

    tbh he seems like one of the most likable guys on their team though.
