Even with Acuna out the past couple of months the team is top 3 in HRs in MLB this season. If Acuna had been in the lineup we'd be 1st. We're also 4th in defense in MLB. When pitching came around those 3 classic Braves's strengths started carrying the team.
Braves Win !!! Braves Win !!! Braves Win !!!
Congrats to the 2021 Bravos !!! 4 Straight and an MLB Record 21 Division Pennants....Wow !!!
Incredible year...the guys hung in there thru a barrage of injuries...and some plain ol' bad luck. And how bout the moves by AA at the deadline....seems like they all came up huge.
Great Year...so far....now let's go get it. I think there's room for another WS banner at Truist:)
p.s ATL v MIL for the first time in October...gotta figure there will be some kind of tribute to The Hammer:)
That would be amazing to have a Hank Aaron tribute. He loved that organization as much as he did Atlanta’s!
It was done when they met this season. Now it can be done on a bigger stage!
The All-Star game, still burns a little bit! They had a wonderful tribute for him taken away!
MLB can repair that decision with this series, he was a great player, but a truly wonderful man! He needs to be celebrated for what he has done with a life time achievement!
Now is the time for the MLB to step up or to the side and get out of Atlanta's way, we will see soon enough, Friday is a week away!
Braves win 3-0 to take a 2 to 1 lead in the series.
Solid pitching and Joctober 3-run bomb
Joctober!
I had visions of Lonnie Smith from Braves-twins world series when Duval made his base running gaffe.
Thankfully these Braves did not roll over and quit.
What does Pederson have to do to crack starting lineup.
Hopefully these braves have turned the corner.
Kind of cool when he has three pinch hits and two of them were homers!
What a weapon!
Weapon? Yes, but how about that pitching staff? 2 shutouts plus 6 shutout innings from Charlie Morton !!! Not sure the last time that happened.
Old school Bravos winning formula, great pitching and a 3 run dinger.
Yep, I bet Bobby Cox is smiling at that. Imagine if Soroka can join the rotation next year.
FYI. In 5 postseason starts Ian Anderson is now 3-0 with a tiny 0.78 ERA.
It's thought Mike will return at the earliest in July of next season. At this point I just hope he comes back near 100% at some point. No doubt if he's back in form before next postseason he will add a lot to the team's chances.
I'd say that works.
Yep, keep doing that.
I am rooting for him! But he is dealing with A LOT health issues and his MLB status report for the past 5 weeks is posted as "Unavaialble"! That is never good, but he is a A1 starter, if and when he makes it back!
I know, right?
Two shutouts and no runs since the sixth on Friday!
Outstanding!
So who starts tomorrow's game, Morton ?
I hope so but there is talking head talk that it may be a reliever game.
I sure hope not! Morton has been a beast and, at this time of year, short rest should be enough.
Go Braves!
Maybe it depends on whether Charlie feels rested and ready before game time.
