INLDST - Braves v Phils

[A Boy Named Seo]

I was saying in the wrong thread how I hate both teams, but the chop made me hate the Braves more. Couldn't stomach to watch the whole thing but Phils win game one 7-6.



Down with Braves, down with the chop!

[MFS62]

If the third option is a meteor strike I'll pick that one.

But since it said not to click there, I went with the Pfightin' Phills.

Down 7 - 1 in the 5th and 7 - 3 after 8, Braves scored thrice in the 9th: 1B, 1B, K, 3R HR (Olson), but then made the final two outs witjout getting another runner on to fall short.

Zach Eflin was the closer-du-jour for the Phightin's

[kcmets]

Los Bravos almost came back in the ninth. Almost!

[The Hot Corner]

I will go with the Braves. Not sure why, but I just don't like the Phillies. I may not like the Braves, but I respect and admire the way the Braves have built themselves into a perennial power. They are a well run and efficient organization.

4 ER on 8 hits in 4-1/3 IP for Max Fried

Scheduled for a 4:40 start, Game #2 PHI/ATL is delayed until at least 7 PM and maybe longer.

[MFS62]

If the delay lasts a few hours, maybe I can still make it to the game via train:

Whoever helped me post that, thank you.

Wheeler was near-perfect thru 5 but then got touched up for 3 in the 6th after two out and none on [HBP, BB, 1B (should have been E3) IF 1B, 1B)



Both starters now out. 3-0 Braves going to bottom 7

[Frayed Knot]

Syndergaard on for 8th innng work down by 3

That wasn't the role he seemed destined for a year or two ago.

[Frayed Knot]

And the series is tied at a game a piece.

3 - 0 Braves

[Frayed Knot]

Braves opted for rookie Spenser Strider in place of vet Charlie Morton.

Strider was perfect thru two.

He didn't survive the 3rd.

6 - 0 Phillies, middle of 3

The Phillies must have got a lot of "lucky" hits.

Maybe the Braves, the brilliant team that makes every move correctly and is so much smarter than every other team, shouldn't have started a pitcher who hadn't pitched in a month.

Realmuto had 21 SB and was caught only once this year. And he hit 5 triples.

So the fact that he hit an inside the park homer isn't a super shocker to me.

Keep it going, Phillies.

So after bludgeoning the Braves early in this Game 4, the Phils are now paper-cutting them to death with tack-on runs in the 6th.

Atlanta with three tries to save their season, down 7 - 2 while getting out-hit 11 - 3



Poor starts and barely hitting while losing to a sub-90 win team! Who do they think they are, the Mets?!?







Of course ss I'm typing all this Td'A leads off the 7th w/a HR.

[Frayed Knot]

So the Braves are down to their last three outs and down by five runs.

Things not looking very good for a repeat championship.

[ashie62]

Atlanta has been burned to the ground

[bmfc1]

Bye-lanta!

F every single one of them, F their fans, F their Front Office, and F the Governor of Georgia while I'm at it.

[Frayed Knot]

It seems like only yesterday that we were cursing out the Phillies for not giving the Braves more of a challenge during those last two ATL/PHI reg season series.



What you thought might burn the Braves all year, their relatively low OBA, finally got to them today: 3 HRs but all solo and only 4 hits total.

Their 9th inning box score reads: K - K - K, and that was from 2-3-4 in their order.

[kcmets]

Great news! Accolades for how the Braves organization is second to

none be damned! Go home and chop yourselves and/or each other.

[Willets Point]

Well, the Mets and the Braves split their season series as evenly as possible, each won 101 games, and each one just one game in the postseason. They're evenly-matched as possible. Maybe that'll carry on to their offseason golf game.

That's true at least to the extent that there have been no back-to-back (or even belly-to-belly) Champs.

There have been 15 different franchises win the last 22 trophies starting from the 2000 season.



The NFL who, as we all know, has much greater parity due to their rigid salary cap, has had a whopping 13 different teams hoist the Lombardi since 2000.
