that makes sense. They’ve all looked a little off. If I were strider I’d throw nothing but Heaters now. They are tattooing his slider or off speed pitches
another slider home run off strider. Dam
Do or die time.
That was as bad as it gets. We looked completely over matched this whole series. Their pitching was better. Their batting was better and their coaching was better. We only led 2 innings in the series. Bad bad showing again. Need some pitchers that can be post season dominant
Well, they had an incredible year, but a huge disappointment……
Braves still jogging to first base on elimination day. Tells you all you need to know. I may not invest as much time next year. You play a game for a living, at least play hard.
Can you guys imagine Kirby accepting 75% effort plays from the dawgs?
Baseball is a funny sport and the playoffs are almost geared to the wild card teams. The team that wins the first series has all the momentum while the best teams sit and watch for a week. There’s got to be a better reward for baseball playoffs than sitting for a week. The best offense in some time with no holes in the line up just lost games scoring. 0, 2, 1 runs. Sitting in baseball is a sure fire way to get cold and all phases for us looked cold except for 2 innings in our win. Don’t forget we were no hit in that game thru 6 too. Looked like we were sleep walking the whole series
Braves, Dodgers, Orioles...so sports, In general, have almost relegated regular season success into irrelevance. Wild cards, lowest seeded teams, should never have a home game until the championship series (that would include us if we were a wild card). It was extra disappointing, very little resemblance to the 162.
I hate those Phillies, especially their obnoxious fans.
My new favorite teams: the Dbacks, Rangers and Astros. Shout out to the Astros manager and former Brave Dusty Baker. 74 years old and still getting it done as a MLB manager.
I don’t care about the playoff schedule, that’s out of a teams control. Of the things the Braves could control…like effort, mental approach, toughness etc they get an F. That’s why they lost the series.
Been a Braves fan a long time, and there might be a series the Braves performed worse in…but all things considered this is an all time flop for me.
Second year in a row….whew…glad I got the dawgs to cleanse the pallete
Last two years Kind of reminds of the 90s when we had maddux, glavine and smoltz etc and only won one World Series. They should’ve had several. I will say it again as I said last night. Bringing the heat in the playoffs is how you win. Strider was most effective last night with the fastball and got rocked with his off speed pitches. Still only gave up 3 runs. Elder got rocked the night before because he doesn’t bring the heat and his pitches were missing high and they were blasting them. Every pitcher the Phillies had brought the juice and we couldn’t hit it. Also we should’ve tried to score on the pass ball with bases loaded that was the crack we needed and if he gets out at least Acuna is leading off the next inning. But I think he scores and Mo could’ve changed then.
Diamondbacks did what Braves could not, shut down those Phillies and did it on their homefield.
I think the MLB loves having this happen, but they need to look at the structure of the playoffs!
You still need to play and be hot in October, but yes, this has made the regular season superlatives, irrelevant!
I am happy for the Diamondbacks, they sawked 2 seasons ago! Should be a good series, but the Rangers are top 5 in spending this season, it does make a difference, ask Billy Beane!
Better not ask the Dodgers or the Yankees or the Padres or the Red Sox.
How about those low down stinking Mets?
