Braves Ongoing Season Comments Thread..

K..I’ve only got 1.5k comments to catch up but the end of the game tonight and this series has reminded me of how fun playoff baseball can be. Go Braves!
I love baseball when I have a team in the hunt. I love GREAT baseball period.
I admit I was the “ye” in the phrase “ye of little faith”. I was too dumbstruck to post a comment yesterday. They’ve done it all season, so I should have believed in them.
While it’s hard to overcome countless letdowns over the years, I won’t doubt this particular Braves team again.
I think I just jinxed them.
My emotions last night were more scattered than hash browns at Waffle House. Three hours of frustration and anger, followed by that sense of hope that you expect to get crushed.
Then, disbelief when Dansby tied it. When Duvall singled, absolute joy. When Goldschmidt doubled in the 9th, despair showed up. When Yadi softly flied out to end it, unbridled elation.
What a game.
I was sick that the Cards manufacured a run on that hit where Ozuna's bat makes just enough contact to hit a flare between Freeman and the right fielder. And just landing fair.
But what a great comeback. And TBS posted an amazing stat. This was the first time in 32 post-season games we have taken a series lead -- dating back to 2002.
17 years!
After squandering several opportunities earlier in the game, I was shocked and elated that the Braves rallied with 2 outs in the 9th for the win. Keep it going.
I didn’t like that the closer threw high and tight to Acuña 2 times. I understand the first one, he was upset about Acuña’s homerun trot in game 1, but on ball 4 he made it tighter, and then wanted to run his mouth as Acuña walked to first.
Good for Acuña that he just walked down to first and kept his mouth shut. But talk about karma, after that he blows the save.
Martinez is talented but after 2 games I think he’s hot head. After game 1 he looked at our bench and started talking **** and Yadi grabbed him by the neck and spun him away. His attitude caught up to him last night.
As they used to joke about another Braves catcher - Bruce ??? - he'd come in third in a race with a pregnant woman. Just quoting - please don't shoot.
Tell me about it, I think I've got the sports fan version of PTSD.
Soroka has been truly great this season, top 5 in MLB great. Too bad he hasn't gotten offensive support or he'd be in the hunt for The Cy this year.
The kid has the best combination of ability and makeup to wear a Braves uni since The Big 3 era.
It’s time for Soroka’s 100 mil
I trust he won't fold. I might wait a year though, he's not going anywhere before then. I agree he'll likely be worth locking up for big money. I respect everything about this guy's makeup, a Tommy Glavine type soft spoken unflappable warrior.
Not only Cy Young, also Rookie of the Year.
And to edit my previous post, Martinez had already blown the save when he went high and tight to Acuña, so I’m sure he was frustrated with that as well.
