There's 4-5 AL teams that would have crushed this Braves pitching staff held together by Scotch tape


I'm not sure what is worse. The post or the 13 people starring it. The Braves staff is pitching way above their pay grade right now. If they pitched like this for the season they would have won 105.

Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the other team and right now their pitching staff is lights out.

Mlb website says no artificial noise makers allowed by fans, so they're just ignoring that rule.

I think Dusty lost his marbles this game and panicked. He just can't help himself with gut instinct pitching moves?

Pressly should not have come back in off the bench. Dusty's moves just haven't paid off tonight.

So if the ball bounces and then hits the batter it still counts as hit by pitch?

I think he knew Graveman wouldn't pitch and tried to get to the 8th for Pressly and the top of the order.

Javier messed that plan up.

It's really ****ty that the Astros haven't had a chance to take batting practice in Atlanta. That's absolute garbage.

it's dead bc it hit the batter. Otherwise there would never be runners advance on balls on the dirt.

Well, this is why I said to leave Greinke for another inning.

Pulling him early caused us to go to someone like Javier rather than leaving him as an option for long relief tomorrow.

Now Pressly is pitching 30 when we play again tomorrow...this is insanity. Probably the first game Dusty has truly screwed up big time.

As someone who has capped on Dusty's moves all season in this thread... I can't complain about any of the moves he has made tonight.

In fact he's done a good job all playoffs IMO.

Still not sure why Dusty pulled Greinke so early. Could have given you at least another inning or two.

When you literally had posters saying "If they win it'll be in spite of dusty" before the playoffs started, you can guarantee any negative will be attributed to him.

Typically yes, I'd agree with you. Sometimes you tip your cap (like that catch on Altuve's near HR to left).

But they're not pitching lights out. We had them in multiple jams and they didn't pitch out of them, we bailed them out with trash swings on balls in the middle of the zone. We don't have a consistent approach to their pitchers or even to hitting in general. Our best hitters have choked. It hasn't been shut-down stuff. They've been extremely hittable

Alright offense

Up next we've got professional hitter, 2019 AL MVP runner up, ALCS mvp and a guy who wants $300 MM next year

1 run isn't insurmountable

All of this. Extremely frustrating.
