Merrifield getting the start at 2B back in his familiar role as a starter until Ozzie gets back. This is the first year Merrifield has been in the utility role. He has had consistent success numbers wise as a starter. Hopefully that trend will continue.
GO BRAVES!!!
Merrifield and Soler set the table with a key hit and key walk before Riley's go ahead bases loaded single.
Go Braves!!
Back-to-back homeruns by Olson and d'Arnaud. Twice.
Rough night for Ozuna 0 for 5 with 4 strikeouts. Not worried. He'll be back.
Team showing a little life. Just 6 games back.
At some point you get Albies and Harris back. Fried due back this weekend. Can still be a scary team with plenty of power and pitching. Good defense too.
Let's see if they can sprint through these last 50 or so games. Maybe make a run or even better get hot in the playoffs.
August 8, 2021 was the first time that year that the Braves made it to .500 to stay (at the all-star break they were 44-45 )…..they went on to catch and pass the Mets and held them off to finish with the worst record among the Division WINNERS at 88-73!
We all know what happened….they picked up, Rosario, Soler, Duvall and Pederson and the rest was history!
Today they are ten games over .500, six games back of the Phillies (who are in a free fall)….
As the late, great Judy Tenuta would say……”It could happen….it could happen!”
Go Braves!
Lightning strikes twice!!! GO BRAVES!!!
GO BRAVES!!!
6.0 back now. Keep getting those W's and we may just be able to chase down those rotten Phillies.
I H.ATE FREAKING FILTHY-DELPHIA!!!
GO BRAVES!!!!
Just need to get in the playoffs. Nice if we could win the pennant, but just get us to the playoffs where anything can happen.
Technically winning the pennant means you won the NL. Catching the Phillies would just be winning the division.
Back in the old days those things would have been one and the same. There were no divisions. One team won the NL and one the AL. They would advance directly to the WS.
Sorry it's a minor point but wanted to make it.
You are absolutely correct. My bad. Thanks for the correction. Win the division is what I meant to say.
Gotta put away the Marlins, tough WC road trip coming up.
Great comeback tonight with new additions Soler & Merrifield playing huge roles in the comeback!
Arcia has a 13 game hitting streak, the longest of his career and hit his 11th homer plus a clutch insurance RBI single.
