Braves get 7 home runs on 4 games, split series, leave LA with best record in baseball.
Max with a masterpiece last night!
Seven shutout innings with 10 strikeouts!
Morton tonight….let’s keep it going!
Go Braves!
Nice to see the Braves' energy at the end of a long road trip. They are just rippin' and runnin' out there. Acuna Jr showing Betts how it is done.
@Bdw3184 Yeah. I didn't see the game but it looked like Fried had several hitters fooled with the way his pitches dropped out of the strike zone. And what an arsenal of pitches: fast ball, change-up, sinker, slider, curve and sweeper. Did I miss any?
Not up to speed with our pitching staff. Who's hurt, who's been hurt.
But I assume that Fried is the one who was out for an extended period of time. 6-1 with a 2.52 era. With more starts, a 2.52 era would probably get you into the top-five in the league.
Three Braves pitchers are in the top-ten for earned runs avg: Morton, Elder, and Strider.
And yes, with more starts, Fried would have the official lead in ERA. at 2.52 eclipsing San Diego's Blake Snell at 2.60 with 27 starts.
Julio Urias of the Dodgers arrested for domestic violence….
Lose to the Braves…. Go home and beat your spouse….
I get it!
not taking that lightly, of course….
Sarcasm is a beautiful thing sometimes.
Soroka just doesn't have it anymore. A real shame too he seemed to have the goods before all the injuries.
Not sure what his issues are. I think it may be command - his pitches seem to move but he's making hittable pitches. I think by next year we'll have a better read on him. He could be a great # 4 or # 5 guy if he gets "it" back.
Kid can't catch a break. Now he has numbness in his throwing fingers. Likely done for the year. What a sad saga he has had to endure.
Tough series with the Cardinals so far. 6-1 after four innings in game 1 and 6-0 after three innings last night. We're scoring runs. 12 runs in the last two games. 21 hits. Trouble is:the Cardinals have 21 runs and 26 hits in those two games. Hard to come back when you dig such a big hole early in games.
Let's hope we can salvage a win tonight.
I have been recently disappointed in the Bravos record - then I realized, if they had been able to keep up their play of July and August, they would likely have been on pace to win 120-125 games. I think that might be impossible. I'm less disappointed now.
Yes, they could go .500 the rest of the way and still end up with a 104-58 record.
Pretty good position going into October!!!
Need a win tonight with Fried going against Wainwright.
8-5 win over the Cardinals. Braves hit five homeruns with Acuna blasting two more. That's crazy. Braves scored three more runs in the first setting a ml (?) Record for runs scored in the first inning.
No cheapies. Every homerun traveled atleast 400 feet. Plus two more up against the wall that the centerfielder made a great play on.
Pretty emotional night for Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright, a Georgia native. Pitching in his last major league game. Glad the Braves won, but suc.ks that Wainwright had to finish his career in that fashion.
In other games, the Dodgers beat Miami 10-0 ithat included a hard grounder past the first baseman that carried into foul territory. Ruled a fair ball and fielded by the ball boy who tossed what he thought was a souvenir into the stands. He was really surprised when the official pointed out "that was a live ball son".
Pretty funny.
