Interesting take on the Braves....

They won a title in that run. Braves fans expect too much, IMO.

This is the same club that won a zillion division titles in the 90s but only won one championship. Their fans should recognize how hard a title is and appreciate the one they won.

These youngish players are all still in their primes. Lots of ability to play well and contend year to year. Last year’s injuries gutted them and they’re only now getting guys back.

As a Phillies fan, I make a habit out of looking in the rear view mirror for Atlanta. They are very capable of mounting a huge run in the second half.

No Harper in game one. Not a surprise. I could see him sitting out the second game too.

Ring It!!

The Fightins nearly gave it away (Braves scored 2 runs in the top of the 8th to tie things up, and the Braves got bases loaded after 2 outs in the top of the 9th), but won it 5-4. Romano with the save in the 9th.

Part of me feels bad that the final strike was really a ball. But that’s part of the game and it was the Braves so…. 🤷‍♂️

That blue was bad….. I’m interested to see his report card. TON of sweepers and sliders off the plate that were called strikes. Then in the last few innings he tightened up. Just really inconsistent.

two excellent throws. The 2nd one, the runner really was not held, and it looked for sure that he'd get the steal. Marchan's throw (speed and position) was excellent to just nail the runner.

his pop into his motion is so smooth. Add to that his rifle of an arm and accuracy…. If he can lock in his bat I feel super comfortable unloading JT’s contract at some point. He won’t be the 5-tool JT is but he’s gonna be really good

Phils out scored by 3 in the series but still take two. Payback for some bad cluster luck earlier in the season. I’ll take it.
