[Madman81]

not sure why we're acting like 1) the hbp was intentional, 2) the braves were somehow uninspired to play this game in the first place and 3) we didn't expect the braves to hit today

[Namaste]

that doesnt really work in baseball though.

of course it does

[fish16]

of course it does

no it doesnt. they arent just going to start playing harder in what is already a playoff game.

[Madman81]

run through the fucking bag

[fish16]

why did it look like brinson was running in slow motion there?

[emkayseven]

Holy shit that catch by Albies

[fish16]

sandy has gone from a guy who has great stuff but clearly doesnt trust himself to throw strikes consistently to a guy who comes into every game saying "fuck you, try to hit my stuff" to every opponent

[fish16]

Sierra! Just like we all predicted

[emkayseven]

Mags! Let’s get him home and get a run back. Just need a single

[fish16]

getting to their bullpen early here would be huge not only for this game but for the remainder of the series. 5 games in 5 days and their ace is struggling in the 4th inning already. If he cant complete more than 4 innings thats huge.

berti looked like he was sitting curveball. i'm surprised he didn't smoke that.

[fish16]

leave fried in one more inning for the 3rd time through the order. I dare you snitker.

[fish16]

oh well, ill take 5 innings of their bullpen in game 1 with their ace on the mound. Although it does give fried enough time to come back for a game 5

[fish16]

jesus sandy has looked really sharp and he's been super efficient with his pitches so far.

[emkayseven]

Fuck. Do not want Acuna in this scenario
