Strider - Elects not to pitch in ASG
Elder- Elects not to pitch in ASG
Acuña - declines HR Derby
Olson - declines HR Derby
This team has their sights on the bigger picture. You can't beat this mentality.

Unless BA is now important after being told it isn't, there is a bias.
21. Count them. 21 bullpen losses this year.
IF we win half of them (10 games) we are 1st in the division and have 54 wins at this point. That is how bad this bullpen is and how much they can make a difference.

Michael Harris II on how it felt to get those hits tonight:
"I give all the credit to Marcell Ozuna for reminding me what I can do and what I have done in the past"
But y'all want Marcell gone.
If you're a
#Braves
fan I want to follow you.
I want as many people supporting the team during the post season as possible.
If you follow me I will 100% follow you back. If I haven't, let me know and I will. Let's build up

even bigger.
(I'd appreciate a RT)
According to Spotrac there are 36 major league starting pitchers on the IL with elbow issues. There are another 16 that are on the IL with shoulder issues. 6 others with "arm" issues.
That is a total of 58 starting pitchers on the IL across all of MLB with some sort of arm
What the fuck we aren't gonna do is start talking shit on Matzek, like he didn't give his whole fucking left arm for a world series.
Show this man some respect and give him time to get his stuff back.

I mean this with no disrespect to Arcia, at all. But the dude can barely speak English, I seriously doubt that this was said any way how they are presenting it or if he said it at all.
Just creating a story where there isn't one.
I'm just gonna say it, if Ozzie isn't an Atlanta Braves mainstay for the entirety of his career we riot.
This man is a blessing to this team, this city, and this fanbase.

Everything is gonna melt down if Acuna get's to
40/70 and he doesn't get MVP.
IF they use the argument that the bigger bases, AFTER they forced the change on the game, as a reason to not vote for him The award will have lost all merit and hold little value going forward.
Had Billy Wagner and Andruw Jones had the peak of their careers with the Yankees they would have been 1st ballot HOFers.
They are being punished for punishing the voters favorite teams. It has nothing to do with their play on the field.
This is why the HOF voting is trash.
Tonight is a prime example of why Morton is in your playoff rotation.
TB is our most elite competition and he went 6.1 innings with 1 run and 6 punchies.

Ozuna could potentially have 25-30 Homeruns before the all-star break w/ .980- 1.000+ OPS and because he isn't Ohtani he won't be an all-star.
#BravesCountry
The
#Braves
have 3 of the top 10 starting pitching ERA's in the NL
6. Charlie Morton 3.37
7. Spencer Strider 3.46
8. Bryce Elder 3.50
Max Fried 2.85
(not enough innings to qualify)
I'd say that's pretty good.

Does anyone else find it odd that the

since 2018 have had 1 MVP, 2 ROY, 5 Division Titles, 1 NL pennant, and A World Series championship yet have yet to have anyone from the team on the cover of

I'm not saying it's going to happen,
BUTTTTTTTT
AA tried to trade for Soler at the last 2 deadlines and MIA wouldn't bite. I would be SHOCKED if Soler isn't picked up and playing LF next year in ATL.
Jesse Chavez is proof that if you know how to actually pitch and live on the corners or just barely on the outskirts of the plate you don't have to throw 100mph.
40 years old and still putting on a clinic. He doesn't hide mistakes behind velo. He nibbles you to death.
In Atlanta we will forever Love Eddie Rosario. I will always root for him, I will always want success for him. He propelled this team to something that I didn't know if I'd ever see and understand in my lifetime.
@EddieRosario09
thank you for everything. It was a pleasure.
López should get 1 more start before the end of the month, if he continues on his current trend, he should be able to lock up pitcher of the month in the NL.
A 0.72 ERA | 0.88 WHIP | 24K |
is no joke in 25 IP

3 strikes called out of the zone on Grissom, much like all night. But let's be real. This is a goddamn embarrassment.
I've been mad that we have been beaten before, but this might be the worst failure of my fandom.
This isn't on Snit, this is on the players not executing.
If Max Fried is in this rotation, Strider is not a
#1
. I like Strider well enough, but high K numbers don't make you a
#1
. The ability to shut down runs is the contributing factor. Fried for as long as he is a Brave is the staff Ace. Idc what sexy stats you're creaming over.
While listening to this yesterday one of my favorite things Joe Simpson said about Orlando Arcia (after he hit the sac fly to tie it in the 8th) was
"Arcia continues to do everything right" and it was the perfect description of how Arcia has been playing. Not just getting hits,
