There's a big advantage to having a runner at 3rd with one out then 2nd. Infield has to come in so it opens up more angles, wild pitch, balk, sac fly, etc.

I like that play when you are the home team.

Heck of a game. Glad it’s on NBC. Won’t be seeing the other Peacock game.

How about Baumann there. Happy to be wrong. Baumann really bared down there. Had some blood flowing to get to 99.

I know it’s a reactionary game thread but the constant giving up here is pathetic. Sorry not sorry.

How many more times can we see people on here give up.  

Think how bad it must be at Braves Hangout!

[Gurgi]

What is Baumann's story anyway?  Some decent starting prospect but kept getting hurt so they made him a reliever'?

[Emory Eagle]

Stowers.  Earn that garbage ‘stache.

[dtk9119]

Can Stowers finally get it done?

[eddie83]

Hyde made a move. No idea what.

But we should feel proud of the team......they kind of stuck around a while.   Tired of that crap.   Just win baby.  

They've gone punch for punch with a much better lineup and pitching staff than our own. They've had a fairly easy schedule to this point and there is absolutely nothing wrong with using this series, regardless of the outcome as a barometer for playing against elite offenses and pitching and being in every single game. Huff and puff all you want, that doesn't make it any less impressive. On paper they should have been destroyed in this series.

Bullpen is toast and other than Santander we haven't hit squat since the 5th inning 

I guess I get the BP angle but you can make adjustments after the game. Taking series from ATl in ATL should be the only though

Yeah but we all knew he was going to blow the save and he went right ahead and did it all by himself

You all "knew" we were going to lose in the bottom of the 11th too.

You all "knew"we wouldn't be able to compete with Atlanta this weekend.

You all "knew" once we blew the lead to KC we'd lose that game Thursday.

OK, you got one right, Felix did blow it in the 10th.   But if you are going to constantly predict defeat and failure, and you are wrong time after time, it's kind of silly to come out with the I told you so the one time it actually does happen,.

I like that ply when you are the home team. 

Why would it mattered in an extra inning game. It's not like this team has been hitting well with RISP. Might as well get to 3rd. It took an amazing throw and that's what he did.

[LA2]

OK! Let's get some runs now!

Win or lose, I am very impressed at the number of our pitchers who have held the Braves in check.
