The press is already 'dawg grading' the Braves. It's disgraceful!!!.
Let’em! Who effin’ cares!
Braves are World Series bound!
National League Champs!
Bring on Houston!
I guess they have to talk about something, even if they have to make it up.
Turn on 680 the fan app to hear the local feed. You will hear some very happy people lovin on the Braves!
Another interesting side note, Matzek has held opponents without an earned run in 21 of his last 22 appearances. The lefty trio of relief pitchers has been essential.
National League Champs !!!!🏆 Go Braves!!!
Four more to go, guys and girls, just four more!
Let’s do it, Braves!
And don’t forget, he was the game winner TWICE in this NLCS!
Go Braves!
FYI, I never sleep after a long drive home so being up I did a bit of research.
All 3 in our dominant lefty pen corp have been considerably better on the road than at home this season. Minter, Matzek and Smith have been lights out on the road, righty Jackson has been dominant against both righties and lefties. Morton who I expect to start game 1 has been half a run per 9 innings better on the road.
good point. They were missing some players but so were we. I just love it when the biggest spenders in the game end up where they deserve - Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox....they get to count all their money from now until spring training while watching the WS on tv.
Acuna is among the very best young players in baseball. Soroka was shaping up to be a perennial elite starting pitcher and Ozuna was on the MVP short list last year. Put those 3 on this year's team and The Braves would have been dominant all season.
GM deserves a lot of credit bringing in Rosario, Pederson, Soler and Duval to shore up the outfield. And Riley’s dramatically improved defense!
I agree, all of it on a budget dictated by Liberty Media's bean counters in Denver. The Braves' payroll is closer to the middle than the top occupied by The Dodgers.
Which is what makes it so sweet that the top 3 spenders are sitting home from here on out.
