    Snit is able to test all of the questionable pichers without regard w/l. The young guys and veterans returning from injury will all get more chances until they rule themselves out. What a great position to be in!

    This is a good test for Strider tonight. Will feel like a playoff game.

    Absolutely! All three games have felt that way so far....

    Huge crowds and two of the games went into extra innings.

    Strider has a chance to toss the clincher. It's an excellent opportunity for the young pitcher. Playoff atmosphere with nothing, really, to lose. Looking for him to dominate tonight for 7 innings. Go Bravos!

    Lately, Strider has been a bit of a yo-yo. Hopefully, we'll see his best tonight.

    Love the scenes of them celebrating on the Phillies field especially after they knocked us out of the series last year!!

    Go Braves! Six division titles in a row!

    Maybe Snit will get Manager of the Year this time! Surely deserves it!

    Oh, and not to lose sight of what the Braves are doing….

    Matt Olson hit his 52nd homer of the year to set a Braves single season record breaking Andruw Jones’ previous season record of 51….. albeit in a 11-5 loss to the Marlins.

    They also scored 3 first inning runs… just 12 away from tying the MLB record!

    Go Braves!

    Not feeling a lot of confidence going into the playoffs. Marlins about to sweep the series leading 11-0.


    Edit: Now it's 14-0. Rodriguez with 8 earned runs. A 15.19 e.r.a. for the season.

    Meh...not concerned. Just sorting through the unreliable pitchers. Morton pitched like he has all year. I think Soroka's start tonight is important. Has he competed enough to be a factor, idk, but it would be nice to have another experienced starter.

    Well, the Braves got swept by the Marlins ..... but just the third such sweep this season by an opposing team.

    The Braves, on the other hand, have swept opposing teams 12 times this year!

    Remarkable!!

    The magic number for the Braves to get home field advantage for the entire playoffs is currently 9 (which is a combination of Braves wins and Dodgers losses) with 13 games to play!

    Acuna is the man! He is one homer away from being a 40-60+ player…..the only one on MLB history!

    And he hit his 100th RBI as a lead off batter!

    Unheard of, hands down MVP season!!

    Go Braves!

    They were floating Mookie Betts. But no way he has it won now. Should get that 40th homer shortly.

    He is flashy and show boats. I wouldn't play that way. But he also plays hard and plays to win. That much is obvious and all you can ask for.

    The team won the WS in 2021. But Acuna was hurt and didn't play down the stretch. 2022 they come up short but if they beat the Phillies I think they beat the Padres in the NLCS. Then it's a rematch of 2021 with the Astros. Braves would have had a good chance.

    I think Acuna wants to show he can be produce a title. After all the team won without him.
