“Are you ready for some [Braves] baseball!?”

Wow. That was close to rolling out of his glove. Acuna having to turn to his other side right in front of the wall and catching the ball with the edge of his glove and securing it in the base of his glove, which often leads to the ball popping out of your mitt.

And another close call: Michael Harris tagging up and scoring the lead run from third on a shallow fly that was fielded by the Pirate's infielder. Harris recognized the infielder's momentum would prevent him from setting his feet to make an immediate throw home and narrowly beat the tag.

Also, Harris was initially ruled to have left early on the tag up and called out, but that ruling was overturned.

Brilliant play by Harris.

There seem to be so many different ways the Braves can beat folks.

Umpires in general this series have been bad. I don't get that call the third base ump was looking right at Harris and could see the fielder too with the angle he had. I think he was just surprised Harris went and made it.

The fear with those calls is will they actually reverse it? Or will they just say not enough evidence (even though there was) and move on.
