Braves 2020 Season Thread

[Patriot44]

21 K's so far for the Reds. Holy cow!

 

[DSGB]

New records for strikeouts and scoreless innings in a postseason game.

 

[DSGB]

Goodness! Got out unscathed again!

 

[Patriot44]

Every day between 3:55 and 4:55, my satellite goes out. Been meaning to re azimuth. this is killing me watching the game on ESPN live....

 

[BornToHuntAndFish]

Whoa, too close for comfort. All we need is 1-run. Reckon we're past ready for a walk-off win if Braves bats can get going.

Nice start with lead-off single from Markakis.

 

[Patriot44]

Lets go one-three! This is your moment!

 

[DSGB]

BALLGAME! #MVFREE

 

[doenightmare]

Braves win, Braves win, Braves win!!!! Whew!

 

[BornToHuntAndFish]

Freddie delivers the run & the win!

 

[Patriot44]

What a game!!! Freddie coming in with uber clutch!

 

[Da Possum]

Holy crap!!!

 

[doenightmare]

I was trying to listen in-between taking calls from customers, boss, and co-workers. I turned it back on just in time to hear the FreddieMVP hit. Man - what a game - a classic.

 

[Patriot44]

We'll be watching that game during the next COVID break! WOW, what a game!

 

[antharper]

Game over.

You are correct ?

 

[LEGHORN]

I was wrong. Braves got it done! Nice job, what a long game.

 

[westcobbdog]

That’s a game we always lose, great win.

 

[BornToHuntAndFish]

Fine pitching on both sides, 13 shutout innings & 16-K's for Braves, 12 shutout innings & 21-K's for Reds. 11-hits for Reds bats. Braves bats get 1-hit by Albies in the 4th, 1-hit by Acuna in the 6th, 1-hit by d'Arnaud in the 12th, and finally 3-hits by Markakis, Riley, & Freeman in the 13th to deliver 1-run for the close win. Atlanta showing potential signs Braves could turn back into a playoff team soon.

After Bauer's gem, the Braves lineup should get a little break with Castillo going for Cincy. Hopefully we can get the bats lit up against and get 6 innings from Anderson.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the two players most Braves fans were miffed about AA not re-signing/trading the farm for (Donaldson/Clevinger)... didn't make either of their new teams post season rosters. The Twins went 2 and out and SD lost Game 1...

Bigg he's a cocky dude, doing the chop walking off the mound, was hoping for a line drive screamer back thru the box but it never happened. A clif note would be I would sure like to have the cocky punk as my #1 or 2 starter!

 

[biggdogg]

Bauer is definitely one cocky dude. But so far, he manages to back it up. A little brashness in the Braves clubhouse surely couldn't hurt!
