Here's a question for Dusty... your pitcher is throwing exclusively breaking balls he can't control. Why on earth do you intentionally walk the bases loaded when a walk loses the game after that? Yes, the Braves would gladly give you the double play and take the run... playing for the play at the plate is incredibly risky when the guy on third goes on contact...
Good thing the playoffs don't start tomorrow. Between now and the playoffs the Astros might have two more swings of looking like world beaters and looking like chumps.
That's what happens with elite pitching. Should the braves have folded after not hitting for 9 innings.
Braves are playing good ball right now, we and our short staffed lineup are not... Our 4th starter pitched a draw with their 2nd best pitcher and likely roy...
I was begging for another reliever at the deadline, bc I just don't trust this BP. I don't trust any of them in a tight game. Luckily, we got one, and his name is Will Smith. In all seriousness, are we really gonna have to keep watching Shitty Phil Maton when Hunter Brown sits 3 hours away just primed to dominate ****head hitters like Eddie Rosario, Austin Riley, Matt Olson... Please bring this man up.
We look like crap right now, let’s get the slump out of the way. By the time playoffs come, we will be rolling hot.
We all knew when we only plated the ghost runner in the 11th, it was over. I didn’t want to come out and say it but that was another chokefest for the bats. Of course we woulda probably needed 17 runs with how awful stanek was.
It was seven game series with a lead until a guy that had been figured out the previous game came in to relieve
just getting beat by a team that is better than us and still really wants to beat us. The Astros don’t want it as badly and it shows…again.
Obviously if we win it all then who the hell cares about a game in August, but every damn year it's "oh well the Red Sox were the hotter team", "Well, you know, that Nationals just caught fire", "Well, if it wasn't for Arozarena", "Well, the Braves just played better and got hot at the right time"... And our 1 WS, that we all cling to like a child with its snuggy, just had to go out and get "tainted." I DGAF. I'll take 50 tainted WS, but we need to start with actually winning another, and I just don't have confidence that this team is ready to compete in October. Plus, I seriously, seriously, seriously just hate the braves with so much passion. Most of y'all are way to chill about the fact that we just got smoked by these b****es less than 12 months ago. ****!!!!!!!!!!!
It was 6 games, not a sweep... and we were missing our top 2 pitchers... sure they lost one of theirs too... Stuff happens... they have a lot of inexperienced players this year playing important roles... not sure they can get past the Dodgers and their video staff at Dodgers stadium...
Can't trust Montero,Neris, Stanek, Maton The NL is much tougher, the Braves are Younger, Athletic, Bigger, Stronger, High Contact, Power The Astros are Flawed, the Draft Picks this Year need to be Called Up Next Year. Pedro Leon and Hunter Brown need to be called up
