How those 15 wins looking, Hamels?
I would love to see Worley gets light up
Joe Simpson:

“What if he sucks?”

Ahh, it still has that “new thread” smell to it :-)

6-up, 6-down for Carpenter

At 29 pitches through 2.

Cardinals bullpen has thrown 12 inningin the last 2 games, but Jason Motte was not a part of that.

GO BRAVES

RUNS, RUNS, RUNS
DId I say Runs?

I really hope the Phillies trade Worley for some reason because I am going to get really annoyed at seeing his face for the next X years if they don’t.

I have a good feeling they'll /Happ'd him
now Vance "all-mighty" vorley is pitching
3-0 - Turn him loose!!
good start

Uggla with a walk

Leadoff walk. Nice.
Wait? No Fastball Vance? Why not?!
Good start

Let’s go FF.

C’mon Fredward. Let’s take this clown long and deep and hard.

*Sirens*

We need EMTs stat!!

EMTS to Minute Maid park, we have a dead ball club that needs reviving!!

Theyve been dead for awhile
we just need them revived for the rest of the night though

Come on, Fredward!

why the ward at the end always wondered ?

Combination of Freddie and Heyward.

heywards not in the game ??? some thing im missing

Freddie I get

Who is this second person you mentioned?

Some guy that many refer to as “The Natural”

Can't be that good if he's not in the line-up in the all important final game.
Yay, new thread.

Other one was making my IPad throw up.

Come on Freddie
that was strike

Thanks for the new thread! Streaming both games + the game thread is pushing my laptop to its limits!

Did you see that awesome catch in the other game just now?

Haha I did. Astros will be Astros.

OT

I can watch Criminal Minds online, right?

Heyward bomb this inning

Hopefully they get to his spot in the lineup

c'mon O´s

I want another playoff round for AL

alright folks, i'm gonna go watch the game at the pub with my wife

and eat some awesome fish n chips.

have fun and GO BRAVES!!!!!!!

Don’t swing at crap Freddie!!

And he didn’t!!!

Lovely to see :-)

Back to back walks!!!!
another walk

capitalize this

2 on...0 outs

Let’s go MAC!!!

Is absurd how slow Red Sox and Yankee games are....

They started at same time as Braves….Mid 5th and End 4th for those two games….

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

My Dish Network just went out!!!

espn3

I have MLB.tv

But, I was enjoying the game on my big screen.

we’ll tell you what happens!

Return of the patient Braves so far.

Who the crap shows up to this game wearing a Yankees shirt?

maybe its good luck lol

Patience!!!

It works!!

Clogging up the bases with all these walks!

And getting pitch count up :-)

BMac needs to hit one in the bullpen
Are they really talking to Worley? Saying what?

“C’mon, we’re already in, but fuck it’s the Braves!”

I smell a inning full of runs.
Uhm, that did NOT catch a corner, Chip.
Corner of the batters box
Uhhh... wtf ump?

That was not close…

THAT WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A STRIKE
Chip Caray is credulous, though.

Come on Brian – see the ball, hit the ball.

Quoting catcher ERA…

How about day/night splits? Hitter-pitcher matchups?

Josh Hamilton has blue eyes!

OBP by ballpark.
Uhm.....Heyward is not on deck

Moronic, but expected. Pray for Diaz to run into one.

and it looks like my big seasonal bet is a win

the fab four under 59.5 is gooooooooooood!

my fields steal under is still in play with bourn, though he needs 66. my field hits under is also in play @ 215 – hate to root for the bosox, but gonzo will bust that if they playoff.

What the fu…..?

fab four = hyped phils

doc 19
cliff 17
roy 9
cole 14

< 59.5 = win

What?

Sports Betting

He bet the under on the phillies having 59.5 wins among the four of them.

Brian looks odd without his facial hair.

aim small

miss small

Score a shit ton of runs and take some swagger into STL

Andruw just homered for the Yankees

7-0

Fun while it lasted, Rays.
Rays gotta hope the O's bail them out.
I like Andruw.
Mac is having some serious issues at the plate
So is the broadcast

He’s too aerodynamic.

that would be funny coming from a hitting coach

“well BMac your problem is your too aerodynamic”

BMac responds with:

“Are you trying to tell me I’m fat?”

That’s funny, the Cardinals game on SS.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHATS GOING ON

WTF happened?
And why isn't Heyward batting?
Fredi forgot he is sitting on the bench.
TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Fredi truly hates Heyward.

WTH??? My feed went to Houston, and now back to Braves, but only audio?!

WTF MAN!!!

did sportsouth just go out???

It went to the Cardinals/Astros and then died
why isn't...

…Heyward batting for Diaz against Worley?

Heyward is Fredi’s scapegoat.

You can’t upgrade the offense and defense at the same time. That’s basically cheating.

THIS IS GAME 162! WATTHAFACK
SOOOOOOOO CLOSE

foul.

Chip just said they’re working on it

lol im glade i have mlb tv
Hahaha going with the CSN TV feed.

“A good hitter at the plate in Diaz” Please join us in 2011, Joe Simpson.

UGH

Diaz strikes out.

on a pitch right down the middle, too.
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Matt Diaz K’s… 2 out

AHHHHHHHHH

THE RADIO FEED IS AHEAD OF THE VIDEO FEED! DO NOT LIKE!

The announcers are a good 7 seconds in front of the video.
Another strike out...come on man
Great game to screw up the video feed
Wilson

=inning over

Sounds like Old Tyme radio.

Come on Jack

please please please please please

Seeing Bmac and Diaz with a K on this guy – makes me sad

Ok Wilson

Please get some runs please please please

You and nypeach83 related?

FRICK
Wilson with single, Uggla thrown out at home.
Thrown out at the plate ouch

Ah….confused let down.

and Uggla out at home

That was a nice throw. Fuckin a

Die in a fire, Pence.

While being attacked by piranhas.
WHY WERE YOU JOGGING?!
Uggla you NEED to tackle Ruiz, Lights out!

Geez.

I’m kind of glad that happened though – it keeps Fredi from PH for Huddy

but we could have been 4-1. :(

I’ll take the out there to have Huddy on the mound for one more inning, to be honest. I trust him over anybody else they’d bring in the game.

DAMN

But I do love the hustle

Come on Uggla, lower those freakishly large forearms.

DAMNITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Perfect throw by Pence.

Nothing you can do about that.

uggla should of tackled him
And look, he doesn't plow over the catcher.
Uggla should have put more of a hit on Ruiz
perfect throw....only one that would have gotten him

Pence has a great arm.

well do we get huddy for another inning though?

silver lining?

Yes 1 guy gets on your take him out

Why? He’s absolutely on fire right now.

Wilson - anticlimatic graphic posting.....

z

He was taking Huddy out too!

freddiot

is crazy

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

That TV fail just ruined my life.

so we've had 3 hits with man on 2nd

and none of them has scored

braves have no speed

I'm not incluind the Uggla HR
Uh, no

Two of the hits were infield hits with runners on second

uhh one was a infield single

STL 6, HOU 0 - TOP 3

RBI single by CHRIS CARPENTER. 2 out.

That game is over
WHY ARE YOU POSTING THIS DUMBFUCK
Because it's incredibly relevant?

Thank you for the update, AmgineRmEht.

Dude…

Uncalled for…seriously

Relax dude

Need a gif of the guy from Happy Gilmore shaking his head no

Noooooo sometimes on the internet people post things nooooo

I hate those umpiring camp commercials

because i know how bad the umps are what the hell are they teaching them at these camps ??

Braves have 8 hits so far this game.

We just need to get a few more of them home!

These leaving men on base - makes me worry that could come to bite us.
Heyward in

Days out

should of ph diaz freddiot strikes again

How does Days Out compare to Days Inn? I’ve honestly never been a HUGE fan of the service at Days Inn, but the price is pretty good.

Heyward comes in for Diaz now. Nice trolling.

freddiot strikes again

But if he questioned his own decisions immediately we’d all know he’s an idiot, instead of now just strongly suspecting it.

He said Diaz got the start so he could hit against Blanton and Hamels. So maybe he didn’t think far ahead after that and got flustered.

Alright Huddy. Keep it up

Beachy vs. Lohse, get ready

Don't jinx it now...

You mean jinx the fact that there is a game tomorrow? Hopefully Lohse will have a few months off…

Wait Heyward is in now but he couldn’t bat?

freddiot strikes again

Heyward’s only getting on base at a .320 clip – or in other words – the 2nd highest OBP of all of our OFers.

As if Fredi knows that

This is the guy that was seriously shocked to learn, midseason, that Schafer’s OBP was below .300.

Not only he was

But the whole damn coaching staff, apparently.

Why did you wait until now to put Heyward in, Fredi?
 
Jesus.

freddiot strikes again

Fredi was reading Diaz’s baseball card upside down

"He's hitting .722!"

This made me laugh.

I know we’re not supposed to get sappy, but one of the things I will miss during the offseason are your comments in the game threads.

Let's hope we have another month's worth of game threads, then.
To prove that, even if we make the playoffs

He’s still a dumbass.

now he puts...

…Heyward in?!?!?

freddiot strikes again

ok thats 4 times youve used that joke

please stop

that is phenominally...

…puzzling.

Heyward comes in as a defensive replacement

Apparently only Diaz is allowed to strike out against right handed pitchers.

freddiot strikes again

5 times?

really?

had to get my point across i hate him

Its crazy how much the Braves win in spite of the manager. Fredi has not managed this game well at all.

I want a new manager next year. I am dead serious

Am I the only one...

Who is scared to DEATH of Jonny Venters in the 8th?

I am

I’m just as scared of Kimbrell in the 9th tomorrow against St. Louis, should it come to that

That local sports emmy needs to be re-evaluated
Fredi's idiocy approaches infinity...
who won't be available tomorrow if the game will be played

aside of Hudson?

we want beachy

it will be beachy

I think he meant bullpen
No one?
so if we need Lowe tomorro

he will pitch?

If we need him

it’s already too late

May as well ask if Ty Cobb is available…

What would we need Lowe for?

Giving up opposite field HR to the other starting pitcher?

Nice job getting the ghost-runner out Uggla!

Just honing his DP skills :-)

Fredi never ceases to amaze
Ibañez with a double.
failllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll jay hey
LEAVE DIAZ in for Defense!!
come on J-Hey

should have been just a single

Bring in Jack Mckeon next year!

Phils with man in scoring position

just like that

wish we could do that

And of course, the fly ball goes to Heyward and he loses it in the lights.

pay back for getting benched? seriously you play 81 games at turner field and you lose it in the lights? BENCH HIM AGAIN

I was commenting more about the crappy luck.

Come on Jason….

getting hit by the ball=winning

Shake it off Tim
Single for Polanco. Runners at corners.

God I love Dan Uggla

Only downside is I tihnk he started the faux hawk.

UGGLA SAVES A RUN
Greg Maddux fields that and cuts down the lead runner.

He probably would’ve….that man won enough gold gloves to open a store.

Where is that Vidro guy?

Gotta stop this crap now.

c'mon bring in the groundballer

Don’t like seeing Ruiz here.

Heyward loses more balls in the damn lights than anyone I've ever seen

Huddy needs to pick up shitty heyward

vidrovidrovidrovidrovidrovidrovidrovidrovidrovidro

I insist this nerve-wrecking inning come to an end.

WE NEED

too bad

he hasn’t been playing since 2008

Diaz cuts that off

Gotta stay down in the zone.

Do not walk this man.

Anyone up in the 'pen?

Ok, Fredi…now is when you get EOF ready.

COME ON TIMMY HUDSON!!!!!!!!!

OMG

JACK fumbles

That really hurts Jack

Not this shit again…

Are you kidding me?

Oh fuck you Jack Wilson

JACK WILSON ERROR ARE YOU BROOK CONRAD JESUS!
Got the DP ball....sigh =\
Damnit Wilson!!!!

Tailor made 2 ball.

gonzo.................
Wilson failed hard.... :(
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I take back everything i said about Jack defensively
that could destroy us
Oh Boy - and now the ^&^%#*(&$%$ LUCK INNING

faking the injury
Tyler Pastornicky, what ya doing?
Jack Wilson

The Epitome of Losing.

I wish the team would stop screwing Hudson over again and again. He’s giving everything he has and I don’t even know what the hell people are doing behind him half the time.

Gonzo would have gotten that one
gonzo would have...

…made that play in his sleep.

WE WANT PAS-TOR-NICKY!!!!!

jack wilson...

…you scrub.

I can not believe he just booted that AMAZING
This is my nightmare

Hell of a game tonight, Huddy. You were tremendous.

Let's not act like that was an easy play

Ruiz smoked it and it took a funny hop. Heyward’s the one to yell at this inning.

Actually, that was a really easy DP ball.

Its the major leagues? not Teeball?

It is still 1-out bases loaded if Heyward cuts it off. Heyward let a runner advance 1 base. Wilson failed to get 2 outs. Big difference.

Jay`Hey and wilson fail... we should be batting

When is the last time Lowe was able to walk back to the dugout like that?

Many moons.
May

Remember, there was a lot of trade hype for Derek Lowe back in May, but Frank Wren went on record and said, “We’re not trading Lowe, he’s pitched really well for us.”

This was back at the height of Lowe’s trade value. REmember that.

Just to prove my point

http://twitter.com/#!/Buster_ESPN/status/70249799684857856

I want to unsee that.

nervous time again

up another level

We still have the lead. Lets end this inning right now

The late season defensive gremlins are back.
its a cruse

when bench players start in important games they fail

Need I mention a utility infielder whose name starts with Br, ends with Ks, and has 2 O's in it

Brooks, Brooks, rhymes with crooks. You have to know your name

Ok EOF

Please limit the damage…. Please please please please please

Feeling uncomfortable again…

RISP failures always come back to haunt the Braves
COME ON ERIC YOU CAN DO IT
Not much Wilson could do there, really.

Hot shot, came up, he played it in front and blocked it with his chest. Lots of topspin on it, obviously.

Eric Go Braugh!

VICTORINO pinch-hitting
Dicktorino needs to GIDP
FUCKING VICTORINO
why my heart just sunk there

wow that was almost really bad

THERE'S THE DOUBLE PLAY
Good outing by Hudson
THERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!
NO FUCKING WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
his name is vidro!!
NOW they get the vidro....

Did you guys see how excited Hudson was on that?

GET FIRED UP EOF!

VIDRO MOTHER F*****!

EOF saves the day...for now

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssss!

V-I-D-R-O and Vidro was his name-o.

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
There we go!!!!

Lets get some insurance!!!

Ok more runs please. Patience then keep the patience once runners get on.

Proper bullpen usage. Well done Fredi.

huge DP

way to go, EOF

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS VIDROOOOOOOOO VICTORINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Could be the biggest one this season so far!!

Holy crap, EOF was INTENSE there!

Venters and Kimbrel are generally so calm that I think EOF has embraced his role as the fiery one.

And, now I’m excited again :-)

The hairs stood up on my neck.

Fredi doesn’t spend a lot of time coaching the bullpen.

dodging bullets at turner field...

There’s our vidro……F YOU VICTORINO

I BELIEVE IN M-ERIC-O'S
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYA

I love EOF!!

This is oddly pleasing to look at…

damnit, EOF only gets 2 pitches!
let's pad our lead now
now braves come out there

and give hudson the win by putting 100 more runs on the board

well i meant 10 but ill take 100

shit i'd take 1

i would too but 13 just sounds pretty

Save some of those for tomorrow

Loving O’Flaherty’s enthusiasm. Wonder how his offense is?

I love to see this excitement from our guys!
z

Antone else wanna see EOF in the 8th?

no way he is still in

pitcher spot is coming up first

Pitcher spot is due up first

Unless Fredi double-switched with Heyward

pinch hitter then top of the lineup coming up
What is up what that insane sounding "Ford" voiceover they play of Chip every night?

It sounds like somebody kicked him in the nads just as he says it.

Potatoes is a stone cold G.
CAN I GET AN...

AMEN FOR SOME RUNS IN THE 8TH1

AND CAN I GET A HOT TUB?

Amen and Halleluiah!
Somebody!

Bring me the rally cups!

but

we are winning….

I know

but I want more runs :-/

Insurance please
EOF = Every Opponent Fails
I like Falls better
Text from my buddy:

“Eric MOTHER F*CKING POTATOES EOF POTATOS OFLAHERTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Slighty OT:

Anyone see Marco Scutaro’s nice DP?

Chipper getting in George's ear

I like it

So the yankees pulled a fast one on TB?

I thought the Columbus Clippers were supposed to be playing

Top of the order...

let’s see what we can do.

REALLY phillies???? throwing lidge at us in the 8th... why?
It's not rec league ball. They don't have to concede to us.
Dey scurred.
Good Lidge or Bad Lidge tonight?
wow the braves girls are beautiful

i really need to move to Atlanta always have wanted too

The traffic will drive you mad.

Charlie's probably going to start subbing people
yea

like bring halladay in

And...

A little patience wouldn’t hurt either

we score at least one run against Lidge

There we go… hot braves chicks. The only thing that would look better is some mother effin RUUUNS.

Constanza pinch-hitting
Is it just me

or is anyone else on the edge of their seat.

Nope

lying across my bed

Chipper Jones

The Braves future manager

WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT!!

me too ive been saying that for 2 years now but i want him to be hitting coach for 2 years first

Hitting coach, sure. He’d be as traditional as Fredi or Bobby.

He has repeatedly said he is not at all interested in managing.

But he has left the door open to coming on as a coach.

Weak, Constanza....weak
that was a fucking waste of an out
Missed bunts no good.
yea

can chipper be a player/manager next year?

has that really happened ?

Used to be more common in ye olden day…

It’s happened a lot.

I don't think that's what Chipper had in mind.

Can’t believe Constanza gets to PH, but not Heyward with runners on.

Let’s go Bourn…gotta have ya on base.

So Fredi PHes with Constanza and not Heyward, leaving Diaz in to face RHPs?

Heyward is in RF already….

Heyward has been horrible….people need to quit defending the guy…HE HAS HAD A SHITTY YEAR

He has been better than Prado who plays everyday.

Better than Prado… yada yada yada. This debate is so tired and pointless.

He’s had an MLB-average year, but shitty for him.

He’s been better than Prado.

Heyward is already in.

But he left Diaz in to hit against a RHP, then switched him in defensively...
That was a fail, could have just kiept EOF in there since he threw one pitch..........
Constanza hasn't reached base since September 5.
Wow. I knew it had been awhile

and that’s about when our season really turned sour

He hasn’t come back to earth at all!

ouch
To be fair

He’s only gone 0-12 over that stretch.

ok

that’s not too bad then

Yep.

Three games’ worth.

Not like he's been given many chances
Venters has to be yanked at the first sign of trouble
for whom?
Kimbrel

Bobby put in Wagner in the 8th last year at the first sign of trouble

dnt even say that MAN!!!!!

welp, time for the phils to bat... ugh I hate quick ABs. Shit
Blah

1-2-3 inning. VENTERS.

that was horrible
well that was an inspiring inning
6 outs....our best out there....LETS DO THIS
just no walks..just no walks....just no walks....just no walks
WTF Prado

How bout a little patience???

So much patience that inning…

We need more runs. This kind of crap impatient at bats will NOT do it.

How do we make it happen though?

Ok Odarp

Please put a charge in one.

I just want him to not make outs on pitches outside the strike zone.
what did we not want lidge to throw more than 6 pitches
That was so terrible.

We hadn’t had a typical uninspiring inning until that right there.

Well that inning sucked

LET’S VENT!

Productive inning there.

STL 7, HOU 0 - TOP 5

Skip Schumaker RBI groundout. Bases clear. 2 out.

thank you Mr. Parrish

Larrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy

Herrrrrrrrre’s Jonny!!!

Arghhhh we have to face Pence again this inning.

OK JV

if ever there was a time to return to pre-September form.

Now would be that time.

Alright venters and kimbrel youve done it all year forgrt the last month we need you tonight

Kimbrel's

xFIP in Sept is 1.30
 
So still pretty awesome.

Rollins-Utley-Pence due

Need you here JV

Venters in for the 8th

He’s given up runs in 3 of his last 4 appearances.

Rollins, Utley, Pence due up

Please be good Bullpen - Please

haven't been in a game thread for awhile so

I wanted to thank you for all of your great efforts. I always enjoy your graphics

Ahh, you’re very welcome :-)

So much for 3 ABs for the lineup tonight.

He should have a SHORT leash here. There is no other game for him to rebound this regular season!

We should have kept EOF I<O... prove me wrong fredi
*IMO
looks like a very serious eye'd guy with a big nose
or a girl doing a split.
Git r done Venters
1 down!

Groundout

3 unassisted if you’re scoring at home……or even if you’re alone.

/olberman’d

Got good action on the sinker

These hitters are not as impatient as we are – he’s gonna have to work.

Its striking how different the approached are isn’t it?

Throw stikes Jonny
That's the thing though

He makes his living NOT throwing strikes. That’s why its tough to get outs against patient hitters.

Turner Field crowd just booed McCann for calling time

They shoulda waited till he dropped the foul tipp

98 on that last pitch

Venters is pitching mad.

DO NOT walk this man.

Gotta hold on to that one.

Yeah Mac…having some issues

Hope it doesn’t hurt us – but as I was typing that – it did.

CRAP JONNY COME ON
get him a bucket..he's throwing up
and this will be ugly.
Foul tip no catch is just horrible timing

That was not a good idea.

Venters has been giving some walks up lately, but he is normally a good conact hitter, so let’s see a dp

Out at first

Utley advances to 2nd.

Come on JOHNNY 2 out!
ugh still scared with runner on 2nd

still say we needed EOF

OK...JV vs. Howard

Let’s go Jonny. Gotta get this out here.

Here (it) comes Jonny!

Thank you Hunter Pence!

1 out away from getting out of it.

That helps. 1 more JV

This is the matchup the Braves want here

Venters has owned Howard in the past. knocks on wood

who would post something like that

as howard is walking up to the plate

No one warming in the BP at all?

Fredi still making me shake my head in game 162

Just think

We could have years of this to look forward to!

I just don’t understand it.

He’s consistent

He either gets this guy or he doesnt and the game is over….It is JV’s game to lose.

throw him all sliders?

High fastballs.

Can’t hit’em. Can’t lay off of ’em.

Can’t do that with a sinker. Because an upper cut swing would match the trajectory better on a high sinker.

As Ted Williams said, a level swing isn’t one parallel to the ground but one that matches the trajectory of the pitch.

Finish him Jonny!!!!!
FINISH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 more strike, JV.

COME ON BABY. FINISH HIM

Carpenter is absolutely destroying the Disastros. 5 innings, 60 pitches, one hit, no walks, 8 punchouts.

Houston Astros just scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th. Not outs

Nah, I’m just fuckin’ with ya.

That’s cruel.

Sorry

Just, seriously, no expectations for that game at all.

anything is possible

don't play like that

I was getting excited

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
HBP

Daaaaaaaaaamn

and he hits him geez
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WTFFFFF

Hmm… ok… get the next one

Howard leaned into that one

1-2 pitch hits him.

i wanna cryyyy

i wannna cryyyy this cant be happening is this reallllll

It’s not fair. Howard’s belly hangs over the plate.

Kinda like Prince Fielder.....

Large gravitational pull…..just sucks the ball in.

Kimbrel better be warming up for Chrisssssakes!!!!!!!!
yep

and he should be in right now

w9woo75ksurfe5u3u465rutyk2

hwazdfguoy860oe5sryzghdxfcgoy806rxdhf bvhk/guo;6elwaezxhfdtur68w4yesre5674356ey74o476utfgjvb

TAKE HIM OUT FREDI
Settle the fuck down
Why is there no one warming up?

Even BOBBY was smart enough to have Wagner warming up for this in the 8th of last year’s #162

Johnny has got this

Runner on 1st isn’t really relevant and I’d prefer Mayberry to Howard even if Howard is 1-2 and lefty.

Bear down Jonny. Shut em down right here!!

come on mayberry, get an out!

You got it, Venters. Shrug it off.

Mayberry has the batting stance like a kid out of backyard baseball

COME ON ONE MORE ONE MORE ONE MORE

FINISH HIM JONNY

That was a bit outside but I’ll take it

Sit him down right here Venters!
AHHHHHHHHHHH IM FREAKING OUT
One more strike!

One more strike! One more strike! One more strike! One more strike! One more strike!

talk to him mcann
STRIKE HIM OUT JONNY!!!
Yeah johnny get him a body bag

Jesus Jonny, not this shit again. Over the plate dude.

Why do you do this to me… please.

Swing the fucking bat, Opie.

THROW STRIKES OMGGGGGGG
WALKED. BASES LOADED.
full freaking count...
my goodddd this is killing meeee
MAN OH MAN CAN'T we do ANYTHING EASY

FUCK my life. I hate Raul. I hate him

PULL HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY IS NO ONE WARMING UP
this is fucking ridiculous

and Fredi has no one up

UNFUCKINGBELIEVEABLE
PULLLLLLLLLLLLL HIM

FREDI IS FUCKING RETARDED… EOF WOULD HAVE DONE A 123

Why plan when you can just sit there and watch things happen?

It’s not really a sport where you have a game plan…..

Medlen warming up?
SHIT.

I hate when opposing hitters are patient and ours are not!

**CRICKETS CHIRPING IN THE BULLPEN**

He may be short but Medlen is not a cricket. Jerk.

You’re right, I saw the top of his FAUX hawk.

OH JEEBUS

WTF is going on?

I can't watch....someone tell me what happens
damn it grand slam

that isn’t funny…

Everyone chill out....

Have faith in our team!

woah Medlen is back?

See everyone next season
Venters sucks right now
When all else fails - beat yourself.

Thats a good approximation of what I'm doing right now.

Dear Fredi

Kimbrel can sometimes get more than 3 outs

It’s okay

Okay, even Bobby Cox would have made a switch by now.

God I hate Raul Ibanez.

i believe in venters

if its me, i leave him out there, let him get out of his own mess

Doing it the hard way

but Jonny go the job done

I cant take much more of this!

We really need a run here....so we don't have so much drama in the 9th...kimbrel has the bottom of the order
His arm is dead for the rest of his life

but it won’t matter if we make the playoffs/ win the WS

Dead?

He was throwing 98.

Sigh....

Why do people not understand how fatigue works for pitchers? Command goes, not velocity.

From my reading, not many do.

Jonny "Cardiac" Venters.

My god. I’m spent.

GENIUS MOVE BY VENTERS

NOW THE BOTTOM OF THE ORDER FOR KIMBREL! BRILLIANT PLANNING!

Did nobody else see what he was doing?

Just making it easy for Kimbrel in the 9th by letting him face the bottom of the lineup.

llol i love that recd

YESSSSSS

Greatest frontman in history.

+ infinity

The internet is yours, good sir.

Even though that was scary as hell

It brings up 7, 8, 9 for Kimbrel. Great spot in the lineup for him to clean up.

unless he walks several…

THANK YOU...

…VENTERS!!!!!!!!!!

Biggest K of the season!
No doubt!

my heart is racing right now, holy cow

Red Sox/O's in Delay

Hate to see them win the wild card by one run because of a game called in the 7th. How bad is the weather?

They wont call it….it’s have to rain for a week straight for them to call the game like that lol

Little insurance please!
batting aroung 4 times in the next inning would be nice

The level of stress on this thread is high.

better than rooting for a team already out of the playoffs though

Chipper looks dialed in!

please get some insurance

C’mon Chipper

I have a baseball question....

Do player stats from Game 163 count?

Yes

Thanks.

Kinda seems unfair to the players on teams that only play 162 games…..but whatever.

haha “baseball question”

Seligball question, then?

haha no it was just funny, like in a baseball forum… what else… maybe its just me

Oh....good point.

That really was silly of me, asking a baseball question in a baseball forum. I promise I’ll do more trolling next. :-p

so the phading the phils was the phocus of my betting this year

and beating those douches really is satisfying, and rare this year.

can’t wait to see them choke in the playoffs. doc and cliff have zero rings for a reason.

Lean in Chipper ;-)

Not now, we don't want him to shatter.
he isnt a Philly now

come on

How do you know I was thinking baseball ;-)

Boom!

Woohoo! I got one more boom from you before the season ended :-)

Let's win this shit

If we can take this game’s feel to St. Louis tomorrow, there might be more baseball at the Ted next week

Chipper strikes out on ball 4

Oh Chipper… guys you gotta stay patient

And Chipper K's on ball 4

Not a good swing there.

Blah

Was patient, then chases a pitch in the dirt.

It's called being anxious
8-pitch AB

to swing at ball 4… not the result I was hoping for.

let's go Braves

score some insurance runz

Everyones up on the rail.

damnit

i thought he hit that a lot better

and we have a quick inning... awesome
last I checked there are 3 outs in an inning not 2
wow that was going to be way up there
so close but so far away

WTP

What’s with this impatience?

They see 40 pitches an inning and we do this.

Its like the patient Braves only peek out briefly then get slammed back in their hole.

Sort of like, Whack-A-Mole

lol Parrish is the whacker right?

sounded good

just missed it

I just don't get it
I bet you do, Trebek!

Calling a BOMB.

you are calling what again?....

never mind. wishful thinking.

yea he bombed alright
Aww

Martin doesn’t have a suit for the plane ride.

Prado didnt know the playoff situation

sigh

…………..like he didn’t know the count last night.

45,350 i was wrong

Prado – wtf? You didn’t know that you might be going to St Louis tomorrow?

The Fredi School of planning. No wonder Fredi refuses to bench him.

we agree on Freddie Mercury – greatest frontman.

3 outs

Let’s go, Craig.

come on Prado

You must always be prepared

Shit. LET'S GO CRAIG!!!

That was a half inning of suck right there.

Queue the BlitzCraig Image
Be good Kimbrel be good Kimbrel
What happened with Prado?
please no drama

That’s not Braves baseball.

exactly

that’s not fun

what music is that from
9th inning Phillies:

Can you survive the BlitzCraig?

What’s the lol Odarp stuff?

espn announcers were discussing he didn’t pack a suit. They’re flying out right after the game if they win.

Prado didn’t realize that the team is flying out to St. Louis right after the game if play-in game takes place, so he has to borrow someone’s clothes for the trip.

So glad you could join us.

This is when the baseball gods hold court.

I'm not a big fan of how our offense wasn't good again today.

If we hold on, we’re going to face a guy that has been pitching very well.

Uggla really bailed us out so far.

Unbelievable.

That’s his pitch. He throws the change up. To continuously get fooled every time is ridiculous. It’s almost like this isn’t a sport where you have a gameplan or strategy.

or scouting reports, or extensive video
Right.

It’s not a sport where you have a game plan. I don’t understand what you’re getting at….

Just 3 outs

Please!!!!!!!! The team is clearly fired up. I believe we can do something if we can make it

Kimbrel against

Polanco, Ruiz, pinch hitter

the reality is that the phils really have blown what should have been a dynasty

much like the peyton colts. no doubt senile charlie will help them choke again.

what the hell are you talking about?!

the championship total for the team involved

which should have at least a few rings relative to the talent involved, especially with the store-bought aces

We can only hope.

Our season comes down to an inning...nervous doesnt even begin to describe it
there's nine more vs the cards

barring the unusual… and then another few dozen in the nlds if that works out

I meant up to this point

Let’s go BlitzCraig

OF COURSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

short leash haha

Oh thats how we wanted to start... OH WAIT NO
Break out the alkaselser
yea great start

man on 1st, 0 outs

Everyone remove your pants for luck!

……..you’re still wearing pants?

damnit...just for once can't we finish a game w/o runners
this could be VERY bad
Shake it off Craig. Gotta have you

CK setting up the Vidro.

He prefers to strike out the whole side

He likes to give them a sporting chance, it’s actually in the MLB rulebook…

I so wish we would try and hit like that.

why when we can swing for the fences on first pitch?

FUCK YOU CHARLIE.... pinch runners... FUCK YOU
C'mon Craig...you got this
If Pete Orr scores the tying run I'll hang myself.
it was nice knowing you
He turned on a 100mph fastball...

ground ball still takes care of this.

Turn on it implies that he pulled it into left…

Totally OT,

but I just heard my neighbor’s 8 year old son beating on their front door wanting to be let in, and yelling “Let me in you stupid wh@re.”

Sounds like my last date.
Don't care how you get 'em out, just get 'em out!

Don’t forget about the slider Craig.

brb.. going need to put two aspirins under my tongue..

brb.. going need to put two aspirins under my tongue..i got a funny feeling in my chest and my left arm hurts

OMG that at least made me laugh

i’m about to fuckin puke

Seriously. I can barely watch this.

OMG

such a high strike.

its not funny anymore
Throw strikes plz...
why can it never be easy

Braves make sure their fans get their money’s worth

Craig Kimbrel FB> Ruiz’s FB hitting ability

No walks here

Make him put it in play Craig. Let’s go!!!!!

STFD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 DOWN
STFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

motha fucking yeahhhhhhhhh

I saw your name

and I was like “PHILLIES FAN?!?@!!!”

hell no i hate the god damn phillies

Thanks for the air conditioning, Ruiz!

SIT
THE
FUCK
DOWN

STFD YOU RED ROLY POLY!!!
VIDRO ends this game!!

One more win during the season and we are preparing for a mound pile…

VEEDRO
VEEDRO
VEEDRO

Where was that good sir. Where was that

holy lord, that was a strike

Got lcuky there

Need a strike

or 2 here

Fastball MAC FASTBALL
strikes strikes strikes pleaseeeee

pleasee

C'mon, you're the rookie of the year

Float it!

I ain't see the floater pitch since Scuffy McGee!
wheres the heater...the old #1...the terminator
the high, stinking, limberger?
Finish him please.
Another full count....

I’m going to have a heart attack.

Craig Kimbrel needs to internalize the message from the Ruiz AB. Your stuff is just better than almost anyone out there. I’m not saying he doesn’t know it, but with recent “struggles” (in Kimbrel terms) he absolutely has to be thinking with that mindset, the closer mindset.

right down the midddle!!!!!

that wasn’t a strike?

AAAAAAAHHHHHhh

little low

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

OH COME THE FUCK ON

Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit
this kid has some heat for a <6 footer

So much squeezage

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I'M ABOUT THROW UP

oh my im officially shaking

come on kimbrel, lord

but that was a strike? lol

this ump sucks though

So damn inconsistent….

Where are these pitches? serioulsly??
WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH THAT????
holy shit monkey!

Eric Gregg?

He says, “Hi.”

I’m sharpening a stake, though. Don’t worry.

is MLB watching this game???

Don’t worry guys, Kimbrel just likes to fuck with us.

WHERE DID THE STRIKE ZONE GO?
OK you stupid UMP!!!

Can we have the Lidge zone?

Or the Blanton zone. That 2nd inning was a sham.

Ump making him throw it right down the middle....so unfair
this was trouble from pitch 1

Should a defensive sub with Ross been considered

I could accept this.

Kimbrel gave your mother

a Rimmy Jollins

Stop squeezing him, asshat

im sweating like crazy, INTENSE!

please don’t blow this one kimbrel lol

Strike

No more walks

shit...another full count
great another full count
COME ON CRAIG PLEASE
man can't walk the bases loaded come ON!!!
3 straight full counts.. wow
ANOTHER FULL COUNT!!

STOP IT!!!!!!!!! I’M HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING!!!

can’t walk him with utley up

doesnt he know he cant throw all these pitches if he wants to close tomorrow

3-2 count. OMG.

WALK

bases loaded.

FUNKY BUTT-LOVING!

Did he just say “funky butt loving?”

THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf
ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
walked him

seriously this is ridiculous

god damnit...

bases loaded back to back in the 8th and 9th

What happened to our reliable bullpen?

Have you been watching at all this month?

What happened to our reliable bullpen pitching?

This is a nightmare.
Hey craig... youre losing fans

oh my god. Seriously. STRIKES

Oh my gosh, this is ridiculous.

Come on Craig

you can do this

I know the ump is squeezing you, but come on

Really Phils?

All the starter still playing in the 9th inning?

Now or never boys

It’s your show, Craig.

can’t lose this game now, just can’t

I feel like Im at the NLDS Game 3 again...

let’s go Kimbrel

My Live look in just end

GIH:OEWRgjkldsanhgv;wjgvnioaewg;agirwanhgiagjefioagewagvewagbewahg

Wren looks sick, as he should.. wrong manager choice
Hunter Pence gets to bat again this inning.... :(
NOW THATS A STRIKE?!
You have to be kidding
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SEAWERTGYASDFGUIY;OUTRETSFGHJ
SEAWERTGYASDFGUIY;OUTRETSFGHJ
2 outs

tie game.

well i guess to the ppl that

want the walk off win here you go !!!

Maybe the Braves can score another run, but I got my doubts.

game tied

this team can never just win a game

I feel like someone just stole my puppy

FUCK YOU FREDI GONZALEZ... EOF IN THE 8TH WOULD HAVE FUCKING KEPT IT 3-1
Wow. Can I borrow that crystal ball of yours?

I want to take it with me to go buy some lotto tickets.

8 Blown Saves, ROY my ass

haha i just said that haha

Yeah, he wasn't amazing for us for the vast majority of the season.
no he wasn't

he was turrible

What rookie were you watching? Really lol….He was simply amazing in July/August….

I was joking

He has been terrific all year long. One of the best relievers in baseball, if not the best. Shit happens, we just need to score more freaking runs

I missed your sarcasm….I apologize.

That’s only 3 since May.

And someone is overly bitter.
yep

that’s awesome

fuck....

can’t believe this bullshit

That's the problem with rookies.....

The problem is it should have more than 1 run lead.

Ain’t that the truth.

Maybe we can see 6 pitches again in the bottom of the 9th.

Holy shit.

Kid K… c’mon. Please get Pence

gotta get this next out here and keep it tied

take him out, medlin\

“And you may ask yourself, how did I get here?”

I'll be pissed if Kimbrel wins the ROY

FU CK!!

yeah, cause his pure dominance in the other 70 appearances mean nothing?

need another out. NOW.

Honestly I am not that nervous

because I am over how they have played lately

That scored with out a fuckin hit, god damn it

Thanks Kimbrel

That was really great.

Why do the Phillies even have their starters in still? I hope one of them tweaks their ankle and misses the NLDS.

MAN this is almost impossible to be a braves fan....just amazing
3rd base Ump can suck my you know what

And the home plate ump can suck everybody’s

if you are talking about the out calls

they were both right

Why can't Mac move that fast when he runs the bases?
Heartbreaking
JESUS CRAIG CAN'T EVEN THROW A STRIKE
Kimbrel loses the ability to throw strike
hola... bad time...?
gonna walk another one...
3-0................ great

this is ridiculous

Can’t fault Fredi for this one. A strength has turned into a weakness, that’s how seasons are lost.

no you can, for running them into the ground

My point is that you have to show faith in those guys in the biggest game of the season. Regardless of what happened, you have to give them the ball and let them win it for you. They just didn’t deliver and they have cost us down the stretch. Sure Fredi worked them hard, but they would have been established as the 8 9 guys regardless. If they had 5-7 less appearances, maybe it would have happened to them like it did a week ago too. We played too much close games and that is the fault of the offense, which fueled Fredi’s desire to overwork his bullpen. I’m pretty critical of Fredi, but when a strength turns into a weakness you are just screwed, that simple.

and for taking EOF out

He never adjusted and running into the outs made this a 1 run game when it should be a bigger lead.

Yeah, because we have demonstrated over and over again how clutch we are with RISP. How dare he be agressive there and try to force the issue. It’s every single guy on the team’s fault because not one of them has come up big or even hit anywhere near consistently the last month. Parrish may be the worst hitting coach in the world, but he isn’t swinging for them. If he’s f’ing up your swing, then just don’t listen to them. I wish everyone would stop making excuses for their favorite players. This is on everyone.

about to walk the bases loaded again
TAKE HIS ASS OUT
TAKE HIS ASS OUT
3-0

preparing the ice cream of sadness.

lets walk him to face howard with the bases loaded

face Michael Martinez

Oh, bottle of scotch, I shall see you soon old friend.

I've got tons of expensive ale to kill

Happiness or crying, I shall drink it. All of it.

Bases loaded again.

he just doesn’t have it

3 BATTERS TOO LATE
way to much rust on craigs arm it seems
Yeah

Only pitched once in the last 10 days.

Was worried about both him and JV coming into this game

with good reason it seems.

ROTY

Better not go to Kimbrel…what a fail.

It would probably go to him if it werent for that “Did this player play poorly in game 162?” category…

Venters to close tomorrow?
eof hell no venters
Medlen gives up a hit

you can forget tomorrow.

exactly… what the fuck tomorrow…

Yeah…great attitude to have….trolls go home.

Tomorow?

BwAa-ha-ha

You know... maybe EOF should be our closer
he deserves no love there

this will be awful if we lose it like this

kris medlen shut them down baby

youve waited all year for this

welp...

it was a good year right…?

with the best yet to come

Well, if that ain't a shit storm.
This team ran out of gas

pure and simple, its a shame

NEVER EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR CLOSER COME OUT------grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
at least it's not Mike Dunn coming in to face Aubrey Huff

I’m just speechless right now.

I blame fredi when he deserves it, but no way this game is his fault.

you must have missed the running into outs in front of the middle of the order or not PHing Diaz against a Righty. It should have been bigger than a 1 run lead.

and we’re now relying on a kid that has pitched 1 inning this whole year

Come on Kris. Get this out
They're going to be all sold out of rope and step ladders in Atlanta tomorrow....
least kimbrel will have a long offseason to think about it. Hope it doesnt ruin his confidence

Lol Medlen, has he pitched yet this season?

clean inning on Sunday
1 IP

He’s super fresh, unlike the rest of the pen.

Meds can come thru for us...right?
it remembers last year NLDS
now in....

a guy who’s pitched one inning this year

if by meds you mean...

to cure a headache then yes! one more out though? MAYBE

ya dunno about medlen in there.....WAY to much pressure....he is not to far off from being a rookie and his 2nd game back?
Hey Meds - no pressure - it's just Howard with bases loaded.

Good grief.

Martinez

He pinch-ran for Howard in the 8th

It’s actually Michael Martinez. Howard was PR for.

It's Michael Martinez

Well, that makes me feel better :-)

Oh the Cardinals score... thats how you win... I see now

Seriously….Take your negativity and GO AWAY! It doesnt help ANYTHING!

Go Braves!

Who cares?

/you think we can actually score again?

GTFO of this thread, troll.

Troll LOL

Troll? No. Realist? Yes.

Throw strikes plz. You have 8 players in the field trust them sometime to make plays. Throw a f -in strike!

If we lose this game, I won’t watch ESPN, MLBN or anything like that for at least a week

cheers

here´s to an empty stadium next season…!

To cheap seats. I’m not going to stop loving the Braves regardless of how this season ends. And with a team with talent, this outcome is anomalous. We are only going to be better next season, and a winning team will draw after Memorial Day.

sorry you are wrong again.

why are you here?

Simple…..to piss everyone off, every single time he makes an appearance in any thread.

We can do this.

lose?

we already know that…

Nah actively win. I feel sure I’ve seen it happen before, maybe they will refresh my memory.

go root for another team then
Seriously, you need to find some better weed or something.
Literally...

I’m sitting in my seats about 13 rows up from the Braves dugout in Game 3 of the NLDS watching it slip away. I’m having to live through it again. This just isn’t fair.

WHAT KIND OF PHONE DO YOU HAVE??????

Alright fellas. WIN IT

MEDLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAVED IT... NOW GO WIN THE FUCKING GAME
Inning over....Dr. K-Meds is awesome
Medlen gets out of it

LETS WIN THIS FUCKING GAME!!

Still a chance, folks

Let’s get one in the 9th and walk off.

Way to Go MEDS!!!
if you're one of the many that are declaring this game over

please go away and dont come back when the braves win

thats how you get it done

god damnit, stupid fredi

wtf fredi do this time? I blame him when it is his fault, but this isn’t, chill.

beautiful change

I missed it. Glad to have him back

win this now mac hr

i dont wanna have to wait or worry walk off hr first pitch !!!!!!!!!

come on mac and heyward
Let's win this game NOW

Heyward walk off homer

that would be epic

WALKOFF WIN FOR THE MORALE BOOST

ONE TIME!!

Awesome meds...

Just need 1 run guys. Just 1. Doesn’t matter how. Just one measly run.

Reach on wild pitch strikeout, error on pickoff throw, balk, and steal home!!!

RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!! RUNZ!!!

Don't even need the Z

JUST ONE!

Walks are not your friend.

I hope our offense is ready. I told you 3 runs against the Phillies wasn’t enough

except if the Braves would decide to walk rather than swing at pitches in the dirt.

I called it last night, and I'll say it again

WP: Kris Medlen
Walkoff hit by Jack Wilson

I called extras for this game. and Uggla to be the hero.

Could we possibly make it any harder on ourselves to win a game?

Yes. We could be down 5 going into the 9th. That would be harder to win.

I am without TV

This is even more excruciating.

No more garbage outings

Ok HR first pitch to get some confidence!

At least someone can throw strikes

I have a feeling about the bottom of this 9th inning

But I won’t share it just yet. I’m not superstitious, but it can’t hurt to be cautious.

Well, there it went

I thought Heyward would end up with a walk-off. Didn’t happen.

All it takes is one to jump off the bat

Good news: Meds goes 2-4.

I'm calling it

Heyward hit a homer to walk off

TROLLS GO HOME!

Take your negativity and gtfo….

GO BRAVES!!!!

No one said this shit was gonna be easy

Lets Do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chances #braves walk off this inning?
60%

because it works everytime

Let's go, boys

COME ON!

Did Houston just decide to play dead?

Only 2 hits….seriously

See some pitches this inning. SEE SOME PITCHES

I was so tense there...

… I could barely relax my muscles enough to pee during the commercial.

Where are you mods....seriously need some moderation in this thread =\
McCann pick up your closer.....DO IT DUDE
McCann-Heyward-Wilson

COME ON GUYS LET’S GO TO ST LOUIS

If we make the playoffs, our 8th and 9th inning guys have to be Meds and EOF.

Disagree.

Venters and Kimbrel can’t be relied on. They don’t throw strikes, at least not lately.

I still trust Kimbrel, but I’ve lost all faith in Venters lately. He’s just been overused.

Now can we get the damn rally cups?

(off topic, thats my first cuss word ever on this blog)

aye aye captain
RALLY CUPS!

RALLY WALKOFF CUPS!

rally cups?

would you wear them backwards or something?

really?
it says cups not caps
See above... and below
Can you see the gif?
yea I see it

I was wondering what that guy was carrying lol

Cups. Lots of them.

is about 150 of the huge coca cups from turner field. This was in the bottom of the 19th of the Pirates game right before the walk off by Proctor!

i bet u hinske does something huge

I hope he doesn’t get a chance to come in.

I hope this ump calls pitches both ways
Not a strike

that was almost right down the pipe

this zone is all over the place
My heart stopped when he fouled that one off
It's up to Jack Wilson

?

Whoops, Heyward.

Boy would it be nice to see Heyward get a hold of one.

Another terrible night for Mac
i assume the blog is not alive and well right now
when was our last hit?

the wilson hit that uggla got thrown out on?

we stopped having good ABs

z

I called Heyward bomb last thread

Heyward walk-off

Calling the shot.

Heyward, be the hero you were born to be.....

We need to get hit(s). Everyone swinging for the fence may make us face the Phils another inning.

Abraves....

Happy Birthday! I hope the Braves give you a walk-off present!

WELCOME TO THE SHOW

Part 2

LET’S GO HEYWARD

CAN SOMEONE JUST PLEASE STEP IT UP!
Heyward is due

He can do it!

lets go heyward lets go heyward

wow

another quick inning. We just suck… I HATE QUICK INNINGS

He needs to pull his cuffs up and start looking like a ballplayer

this offense is an epic fail
this offense is an epic fail

Oh a K! Color me shocked…

BRUTAL AB heyward JUST BRUTAL

ugh. awful at bat

wow, now up to wilson lol

Sigh swinging at so much crap.

God this sucks. It really really sucks
We went from the most patient to the most impatient offense EVER
this is the season here

come on jack

Wilson time.....and then onto the 10th
The RISP futility really hurts

And the blown stolen base call on Bourn. If Bourn is correctly called safe, Uggla’s homer is a 3-run homer and the Braves already win 4-3.

he was out

he came off the bag as he jumped up

The 5 walks by venters and kimbrel is what hurt

What about the bobbled doubleplay bll by Wilson?

Once again

He came off the base…

Bourn was out. He overslid the bag.

Hey Wilson you kind of owe us a run
maybe another time
Take a walk Jack
Hey Wilson...

how bout your first HR of the year…?

Jack Wilson walk-off….

If there was ever a time for Wilson to hit his first homer of the season, it would be now.

lets don’t go to extras damn

wow that was hard to watch...
Oh my god, I swear I'm a better hitter than Wilson
unfuckingbelievable

Where’s Pastornicky?

AFTER THIS MONTH OF TORTURE, I'M GOING TO GET INTO S&M.

are you enjoying this month?

youre already into it

After this Sept, it would be boring.

talking from experience?
Wilson sucks

he did have that base hit but Pence gunned down Uggla

i thought i saw uggla turning and looking at pence while running. it was 2 outs uggs.

He seemed very AAA on that AB.

Fuck free baseball Chip…

Fuck free baseball.

“Wouldn’t have it any other way.” Uh, yea I can think of a few fucking ways I’d rather have it.

Walk-off home run in the 9th

Craig Kimbrel shutting down the Phillies in the 9th by striking out the side.

Winning 12-0 easily and then getting a full night’s sleep.

Just to name a few.

A few other ways, but always lubed.

I would argue

It is anything but free, the pain we have to endure in the process…

Shit is taking years off my life.

You are correct.

Sex during the game is not allowed.

LOL… thank you. Thank you.

At least Kris can go another inning

Or maybe 2 or 3, gotta think it’s better than what the Phils can put out there.

this is one way to extend the season

but not quite what I have in mind

That nightmare was talking about after the game quotes....THAT NIGHTMARE IS BACK

Phillies are so much more patient. The front office has to see this lack of patience right?

Patience means shit if you can’t hit a good pitch.

Chip Caray

“Extra innings in Atlanta. Wouldn’t have it any other way, would ya?”

I’ve never, ever wanted to slap him more.

I have, but it’s definitely top 3.

worst announcer in the history of history
one more example of why i hate this guy
Calm down

Pretty sure it was sarcasm

pretty sure...

it was him being an idiot again

The homeplate ump...

or Phillies fan is not my friend right now.

Letting Michael Stutes strike out the side = yeahhhh!

Mac hit a lazy pop-up but it was just as bad as a K

i hope that the player to be named later for wilson ends up dying so they get the same thing return

This team is quite terrible at the moment.

Really would like to know what happened to Heyward.

He didn’t swing through fastballs over the plate like that last season.

maybe something to do with his vision? I don’t think he is seeing the ball that well (including when fielding)

I blame whoever said at the beginning of the thread that they wanted a walk-off in the 11th.

Nightmare...i mean wtf!
Cardinals game is going into the 9th

At this rate, that game will be over before this one

anyone else feel that we prolly lose this game now? I know this looks negative, but damn this is sad right now.

I honestly don’t know how we score a run again

Hinske, Bourn, Chipper, Uggla.

That’s how we score again.

Hinske will strikeout. I hope I’m wrong, but I just see it in my head.

I picked him for RBI in NAHWAL – perhaps it will come true!

Dead team walking.

We need a mid-game pep talk from Chipper.

Come on Kris give us a good inning

fuck extra innings

Medlen dropped the wind-up?

Nice ups, Meds.

1 down

Let’s go Meds…shut em down.

just tuned in............
Tune out TUNE OUT
THATS A STRIKE
this ump is so fucking bad

if we can keep phillies from scoring(ya big if) then this may go 18 innings or so hahahahha

Medlen is great throwing strikes....what we need

His arm is fresh and healthy. It is GREAT to have him back this year….even if it is only for 3-4 games.

Inconsistent ump is inconsistent

Very oddly shaped strike-zone tonight.

this is so hard to watch

Good job Medlen!!

whats the chances this game goes 19?

and we win and we call up jj for the start tomorrow!

My stomach can't handle this!
Umm...

So… what happened to this team in the month I stopped watching them?

Maybe you're to blame

They were secretly subbed out for the Houston Astros.

Meteor. But actually it was a hurricane.

they melted down like a Japanese nuclear power plant
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Freddie youre like 12 feet tall… grab that ball

his 12 feet only is valuable when he is stretching horizontally
NEVER EASYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Nope fundementals have been killing us…..dumb mistakes in the field and lots and lots of walks

Medlen should've came so much sooner..

Instead Kimbrel was out there fuckin up

do you seriously believe that? Kimbrel has been our guy all year...no way he is not out there
what a LEAP...
respect to the phillies, who played this series the right way.

I agree…..honorable thing to do….Curse them!

Didn't expect anything less. Best team in baseball
Ok Meds

No biggie, just need 1 more out.

how many LOBsters braves have this game?
how many LOBsters braves have this game?

with all the LOBsters braves had this year, surprised they not fatter ;)

STL should have to play another game vs Stros to compensate for us playing PHI

must have missed those Met, Marlin and Nat series we did nothing in.

Or that series against the Cardinals.

They took care of business vs milwaukee and philly while we were puttering around with florida and the mets

that's one mighty big blown save

Anybody know why the game tomorrow would be in St. Louis?

St. Louis owns season record against Braves?

They won the season series.

crushed us in the regular season series

Season series I’m assuming?

They won the season series.

1. No game guaranteed yet
2. Because we lost 5 of 6 meetings against them.

i guess

because the won the season series….

Could it be…they’ve owned us this year ?

St. Louis won the season series against the Braves 5-1

Ross from Friends warming up in the bullpen

I just got a call from Fredi, but he hung up when I told him I was a righty.

thats exactly what i thought

Just think...with the correct call in the 19 inning game against pitt and we would have already lost the the wildcard

No. We would have just gone to another inning in that game.

we still coulda won that game

You know we would have just played the 20th inning, right?

yeah this is idiotic]
thank god for medlen. win or lose.
Do NOT lose him Meds
no walks

…please?

STFD!!!!!!!!!!!!
STL 8, HOU 0 - TOP 9

Allen Craig solo homer. 1 out.

It's all good we're about to walk off
can we please do that? all we been doing is hitting solo shots lately....LETS GET ONE HERE

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDLEN

Awesome job medlen....been waiting all year and you do us proud
ALRIGHT, NOW WIN THE DAMN GAME
HUGE K there!

Most doctors write prescriptions for pain killers. Dr. K-Meds only writes prescriptions for pain.

We need a new runz thread...

I think it will cost you $19.99 in order to have a mod log in during a game and create a new thread….

Can we please have good ABs?

STFD

Try again offense!

medlen

a big fan of him i am

WHAT DO YOU DO HERE? SIT MEDS OR KEEP HIM?
Seeing Medlen back and healthy makes me so damned happy!
IS IT GOING TO BE A HEART ATTACK EVERY SINGLE INNING?!

You have watch the 2011 season, right? ;-)

oh yeah forgot about that 2011 season..

hes going to make a fine replacement for lowe next year

Of course by next year you mean 2013...
Do we hit for Med's?
Yes

He’s not ready to go long

Let's dump Lowe and start Meds again
Dlowe is why we are in this situation

should have cut him at the AS break

all we need is one just one

run please guys give me that i really need it my life revolves around braves besides that i do nothing and life sucks !!!!!!! please give us a win tonight !!!!!!!!!

gotta hit for him. we need to win the game now.

If we win who pitches tomorrow for both teams?

Lowe and Hudson for us are both no’s. Westbrook and Carpenter are no’s for them.

Beachy vs. Lohse

Good Lohse sucks.

Lohse has been pitching good lately
best matchup we can hope for
Meds better be on the roster if we make the postseason
How bad do they want it?
Who comes in the 11th if the Braves don't score?

- Martinez
- Teheran
- Varvaro
- Linebrink
- Sherrill
- Vizcaino

Did I miss anyone?

Minor is probably available
nobody

we fucking win it here

derek lowe

Banned

lol you will be banned before me some of the hater comments coming from u

I hope the Braves win this right now

I have much less confidence in anyone else that may come out of the pen for the Braves after Medlens…besides, we’re starting to face just some guy from the Phillies pen (even if in general, Braves struggle against random bullpen guy)

hey we let jack wilson hit for himself 3 times tonight…meds cant be any worse

Meds is a star. Has the it.

when in doubt, go hinske

Vavaro, Linebrink, Sherril, Martinez…did I miss anyone?

Proctor…

jk….

thank fucking god

Yeah, I would appreciate it if you never said that again – and I’m not talking about Proctor.

be your clutch self Hinske
5.84 ERA

This dude is worse than Lowe.

anybody is difficult when you're pressing
END THIS RIGHT HERE
I want Ross and Heap as our battery. They can alternate innings.
Wow.

Opponents BA against this guy? .298
 
Like those odds.

please make sure he can throw strikes

please make sure he can throw get bs strikes called by the ump.

Gotta be patient. I know we have to produce offensively but Meds is what gives us the decisive late inning advantage.

Hey, we took a first pitch!!
game 3 NLDS in reverse?

We blow the lead and then Hinske homers?

WERE ABOUT TO GET A HINSKE HR!!! YOU JUST WATCH!!

come on now, we need to win it right here!!!

Ske ball to right...one more game
C'mon skee

send us home happy.

SKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i wanna see ske go crazy. ill throw my computer out the window if he hits a yack bomb

If we can't hit this guy I don't know what to say

Well, we couldn’t hit Stutes…

And we just swung at ball 2.

missed one

i hate saying that

popupitis strikes again

“I’m having Pop-pop in the attic”

The mere fact that you call making love “pop pop” tells me you’re not ready

All the reasons this game shoudl be over already

Bad call on the McCann K…bad call on Bourn at third base…bad baserunning by Uggly coming home on that one play….

It’s like this team lives to torture us.

wow...

rays just scored 6 runs in the 8th….

I was getting ready to post that
Six runs in one inning?

That’s a heck of a week for us

Someone needs to step it up

Was that even a strike?

thats what I WAS THINKING!
i thought hed lose that in the sun FOR SURE! wtf...
i thought hed lose that in the sun FOR SURE! wtf...
look at the rays rally...why can't we do that?
rather be in our positon than theres

not as good of an offensive team maybe?

We have Larry Parrish

Just get on Bourny
Yankees 7, Rays 6....

Wow

Longoria

Longoria rally killer….

Something's

gotta give

strike zone extremely inconsistent

so now the zone is the entire batter’s box?

And foul territory.

Dear Pujols, I hope Fredi doesn’t bunt if Bourn gets on…

I'm a UVA fan

but fuck you schwimmer

Right there with ya
just get on base bourne...por favor senor!
have a good eye bourn
this pitcher sucks

please core.

yesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!
ATTABOY BOURN!!!! GET HIM IN DAMNIT
Bourn is having a hell of a night.....
Green light please

LET’S GO BRAVES

BOURN WANTS TO PLAY TOMORROW!!!

3 hits for Michael

good job

 bringgg him homeee

Prado, get a hit

I do a hit and run here

"fastest man in the majors"

go away freddiot lol

No bunt, no bunt, no bunt

now don't get thrown out bourny

please be patient Prado.

THIS, THIS, THIS!

lets try to get something going

Cards are final

Welp, the Cardinals game is over… This is it for the Braves.

im scared if bourn goes
cards win...

first win for carpenter in HOU in 6 years…. had to be today…

Steal...then a hit and run for the WIN
hit and run hit and run...do it
Bour Supremacy!
Bourn Supremacy!
OH! DARP! OH! DARP! OH! DARP!

Why are you all calling for a hit and run? Bourn reaches 3rd on any hit anyway.

Not an infield hit…. :-p

Tis now irrelevant.

Dont want to prolong this inning...fastest man on...you take your shot

Exactly. You take your shot. You don’t force something stupid.

glad people aren't actually involved in managing.

I’m afraid with our luck, if he runs – it will not end well.

fuck he shoulda gone
Prado takes strikes. Beautiful
hmmmm why change the gameplan? it worked ALL NIGHT RUN

damn prado, right down the middle of plate, swing shit

prado...fuckin shit man

How the crap do you strike out against this guy?

Prado should never hit #2. He’s the worst ever

greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
wow what a piece of dooo dooo
FUCK YOU PRADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
why no THEFT BASES yet?
Absolutely terrible at-bat by Prado
thats the gayest shit i ever saw
prado majorly sucks now
geez

doesnt swing at the one down the middle

swings at the one way out there

Do not get FREDDIE

seriously??? You don’t swing at a pitch RIGHT DOWN THE FUCKING middle of plate but you got chasing? lord

MB has to go now

Yes, Chipper can poke one the other way, I’d hate for it to be a waste.

Chipper

Time to be a hero

Mr. Clutch Larry Waynee Jones. we got this CALM DOWN!!
Ok Chip

Hero mode engage.

Chipper to save the day

GET TO THE CHOPPAH

I hate Prado.

Take 2 good pitches to hit and swing at crap

C’mon 10…like you have so many times in the past.

WTF is Bourn waiting for
IF THERE IS A GOD, WALKOFF HERE
Need one of that patented gappers
ALL HANDS ON DECK!

they will probably walk him

I’ll be giddy if he comes through here for us!

Hit it in a gap, Chipper.....

Bourn can score from 1st.

They are playing no doubles….would be tough even for Bourn….

I'll be honest.

I just received new respect for Mets and Phillies fans. They had to put up with this for 14 straight years. That takes commitment.

Chipper walk-off….I feel it

I was gonna say, I want what you’re holding… but figured it would be TWSS all over the place.

oh wait…

IF THERE IS A GOD, WALKOFF HERE

surprised that wasnt a called a strike

RUN!!!!!!!!!!!! SHEESH GET thrown out no biggie
RUN!!!!!!!!!!!! SHEESH

Just closed my blinds, dont think the world needs to see my reaction to this walk off

He's gotta be going now
One more pitch

ONE. MORE. PITCH.

If we strike out on a change up here....
Bourn will be running on this one.....
If we strike out on a change up here....

Bourn gets to run here. :D

At least Bourn is running on the pitch

This game is giving me a huge headache

Uggs walk-off... I'm calling it.
Make that hurt Chip!!!
wilson blows, i wanna see pastornicky ph

Wilson’s defense is better then Pastornicky’s. I’ll pass.

DAMN YOU MARTINEZ! DAMN YOU!!!!!!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKK!!!!!

Fuck you Martinez.

 dAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PHUCK THE PHILLIES

Damnit...another inning
im done, zero luck for us

CHIPPER!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

this game is getting to me

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Just did some SERIOUS damage to my desk. fuck.

that ball just keep hanging up there

so close

Shit! I didn't prepare a Michael Martinez Voo-doo doll!
Shane Victorino would have totally fallen on his face right then.
you have got to be fucking kidding me

This is karma for 14 consecutive division titles.

God is paying us back for those 14 straight division titles

I got so excited there.

If they aren’t playing “no doubles” right there then thats, well….a double.

well, someone earlier was calling for a 11th inning walk off...

onto the 11th we go

whattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt WHY NOT VIZCAINO

Anyone but Linebrink is an acceptable answer here.

Vizcaino pitched two innings last night
VARVARO?!?!

IS THAT SERIOUS?????

Vavaro has been good.

i mean

im glad im wrong for these 1st 2 outs, but i just wouldnt have done that

WTF is going on right now, seriously….I can think of 4 guys that I’d pitch ahead of him, at least!!

Why? He’s been good.

Who would you put ahead of him?

Vizzy, JT, Minor?

Vizzy pitched 2 innings last night, JT also pitched last night, IIRC and hasn’t really pitched better than Varvaro, and when was the last time Minor pitched out of the pen?

(Trying to respond…beware of lag)

I’m thinking length here…although we have like 30 pitchers available for tonight.

I think it’s time for a new thread. This one is pretty much at a dead stop

The mods have left us for death.
No joke

2000 comments. Especially since their thread right above this with no comments

Come on Anthony
Closing in on 4,000 comments between the two threads.

Highest number I’ve seen.

Look on the bright side

At least Proctor isn’t an option tonight.

Hes blowing games for the yanks now, isn't he?
3672 comments so far tonight...

Wowzers

if I recall there were 5000 plus in playoffs last year

Aye. There were a couple that high last year.

And every 1000 or so, we’d get a new thread.

But since these ads, we have to beg and plead for them.

The mods are sitting up in their Ivory Towers, collecting their ad revenue paychecks.

We need a new thread.

This one is chugging in my web browser.

it isnt just this thread…is all of the SBN blogs…

I'm guessing tonight is something of a busy night for them
I guess it's pretty Braveslike to make game 162 go into extras.
Never a dull moment.

they really are a-holes haha

Gives you hope all season....

Loses it all at the very end.

Scumbag Braves.

Considering all the12 inning games

I’m guessing we win this one in 12. Just would put a tidy wrap on the season.

Come on Bravos….

This lag is ridiculous…..

my computer is so slow right now

For those keeping score, this is the same umpiring crew that did the 19 inning game against the Pirates.
whattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt WHY NOT VIZCAINO
My Thread is pretty much dead here folks

I’m having issues posting anything here. Hey Mods, lil help????

Just know that whenever this reply posts

I clicked “post” 20 seconds ago.

And a 4 pitch walk to Utley. Ughhhhhh
No walks please

They’ve been killing us all night.

can anyone here start a new thread?

this is very shitty

I need to go to bed soon. Somebody win this fuckin thing.

Please don’t hang something stupid to Pence

Who starts tomorrow?
Beachy if we make it

Well, you get points for assuming there will be a tomorrow…

Beachy (if there is tomorrow)
Delgado hopefully
z

Melden?

I heard them say it, too. I just shook my head sadly.

and Utley steals

geez

Utley steals second.....ugh
COME ON ANTHONY

Holy shit… easy on the intentional walk there Wohlers.

utley stole.......... fail
the braves offense is a joke compared to the phillies

Did you know that the braves are dead last (by 13) in doubles since the AS break? Explains some of the scoring problems..when they can’t hit home runs, they can’t score. I’ve watched the Braves for 20+ years and I don’t know that I’ve seen a stretch where the offense has been so pitiful

That's not important.

How long has your dad been watching baseball?

Better yet, does your mother let you turn the hot dogs?

While your father is making like $20/hour at his job?

I thought it was $200....

Wasn’t he the investment banker on the Cayman islands?

No, it was some silly low number that came out to like $50k-ish/year….I think.

I think it was something like $63,000

annnnnd

this is why i didnt want varvaro in

THANK YOU FOR PROVING ME WRONG ANTHONY

And this is why you should relax.

Other than Linebrink, there is no wrong answer out of our pen now.

#Cardinals watching game but not puttting champagne tarp up until #Phillies take the lead. Don’t want to get ahead of theirselves.
Avoid posting unless you have something really important to say

And that said, PLEASE THROW STRIKES!!!!!!!

Please don't let some failface hit the winning run.

Just one more out please….

Damn, left to finally make/eat dinner, got back to this.

post a new thread in a fanshot – anybody!

Bad ju ju….

bullshit. has been done before.

I'm getting Scott Coleman!

SBNation is the problem, not the thread.

I'm getting Scott Coleman!
nice job Kid

now lets end this damn game!!

Won't do no good

apparently all of SBNation is limping

Uggla-Freeman-McCann. Come the fuck on

Blood pressure… up up up

pretty sure people r going to the hospital tonight

The Rays tied the game!

Anyone else see TB just tied it with 2 outs in the 9th.

Yeah… holy shit that was cool.

Yankees giving Red Sox the middle finger by not bringing in Rivera lol

And the Yanks have brought in Proctor! lol!

YES!!!!! COME ON NOW LET’S DO THIS

Rays tie it......

i feel so…. wow….

Wow, 3-2 count, 2 outs, Rays hit game tying bomb!

Thank you GOB

on to the whatever inning is next.

heart of the lineup come on!

RAYS JUST TIED IT WITH A 2 OUT HR IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9th
Rays just tied it lol
the braves should play like the Rays...
Rays tie it in the 9th
Note to Scott Coleman

Walk off thread, for the love of God, lil help!!!!

Yankee fail

always makes me happy.

The best part is that a Yankees fail = a Red Sox fail!

Not a Yankee fail….they don’t really care…and Red Sox have owned them. Maybe they want Rays to out duel Red Sox.

Proctor is coming in for the Yanks. He's gonna give up a walk off

LOL it’s really him!

So, basically I’d say our only hope of winning is a HR by Uggla or Freeman.

Or McCann or Heyward or Conrad

I’m trying to make a thread – but it keeps locking up on me.
I think it’s a SBN issue site wide.

It is an SBNation issue.

There’s gotta be a lot of traffic right now.

I'm going to take off

This thread is killing my computer.

Good luck. Hope we’re here tomorrow night.

It isnt the thread….it is the SBN site.

Braves need their own Dan Johnson
GO HERE if you want...

Thats what i said earlier\
Not for me.

The new thread works great. And Overthemonster is fine.

For the love of god, put up another thread

Wow, the Rays got a PH solo HR in the 9th with 2 strikes and 2 outs.

ugh new thread please, this one was FULL OF fail

can we not take a first pitch strike every fucken time

Wow...just Wow soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo FRUSTRATING
If theres a way to have less than zero faith in our offense... thats what I have
None of the mods paying attention? 2k plus comments

Been this way since June lol

on one of the slowest messageboards on earth already

the braves could play another 10 innings and not score
Rays about to walk off....

Proctor is the only pitcher left for the Yankees…

the braves should play like the Rays...
Why is the pitcher hitting for himself?

/sarcasm

You don't have to win it by yourself Heyward

Be a good lead off. Find a way to first base

Just like that
exactly like that
ok ok ok CALM THE F DOWN! RISP!

get heyward home BROOOKS!!
hero mode ENGAGED!
