Sandy made great pitches. Just got unlucky. Baseball is like that some times. We could've brought someone else in and Acuna goes deep.

acuna's ball was hard hit. it's almost like supposedly great pitches are less effective after you've seen a guy all day.

Welp. There’s the game. No way we’re putting up 4 more

[Madman81]

managed this one right into the toilet. see you in game 2.

Should've left Sandy in.

[gustavopim]

Yup that's game. Acuna deserves to get hit again. I f**** hate him

That one from D'Arnaud was hit pretty hard with launch angle.

[Nick]

I'll take hard hit ground balls from Acuna the rest of the series.

Lol ok see you tomorrow

Why didn’t Hoyt come in to begin with? That was his thing - coming in with men on base and taking care of it.

Well this is depressing as fuck

This didn't age well

jesus. I dont mind the 7th starting off with sandy on the mound but if he doesnt get riley you cant let him pitch to acuna for a 4th time. This game is gonna come back to haunt us.

I just think Sandy, Pablo and Sixto are the only reason we have any semblance of hope in this series. With the game on the line I want the ball in their hands, as opposed to anybody we have in the pen. 4th time through, I don't give a shit.

Considering what we saw from the guys who followed Sandy, how do you think they would've fared against Acuna?

id go with just about any good bullpen arm over a young pitcher making his way through their great lineup for the 4th time. Sometimes shit just happens so I have no problem starting him off in the 7th but if riley gets a stupid fucking hit like he did you gotta get a new look in there for acuna.

The braves bullpen is so ridiculously good.
