Ian Anderson gets the ball tonite for Atlanta, if we play. Heavy rain forecast.... OFC
Fellow Braves Fans.....

Weather forecast has improved dramatically! A very, very important game for August 5
Braves up 8-0 top of 2nd. In Mets bullpen with a DH tomorrow. Keep pouring it on.
Great defensive play by Acuna to rob Alonso.

What a play by Acuna!!! It would have cut the lead to 4-2, but Acuna shut the door. Now 8-0 Atlanta. Alonso had incredible bat speed. Must pitch around him the rest of the weekend
Ian Anderson only has C- stuff but an 8 run cushion should be enough. Acuna robbed the HR and now Michael Harris threw out the dopey runner at home. 8-1 Braves
Acuna's catch could start us and HIM on a HUGE RUN!!! OFC
Anderson looks shaky, walking a high number and giving up some well hit balls. Need to get out of this third still up 8-1! OFC
8-1 Bravos, headed to 4th!! The Big bat tonite with Eddie Rosario, a dinger and double- 4 ribbies! OFC
Having to edit a lot tonite! The hard stuff is flowing for this geezer!!! Go Braves!!
Beer chaser now as the game tightens. Anderson may be done (couldn't get thru five w/8-0 lead). Mets came barreling back- we're still up 8-5,bottom of 7th! OFC
Hopefully this is a jumping off point Acuna tonight. 3 hits and great defense. Need this Ronald for the stretch run.
Smash, Acuna was the difference maker along with Rosario. I honestly thought we might unravel COMPLETELY when Mets cut it to 8-5.
You have to go back to Acuna's "great defense" you mentioned. Ronald literally STOLE Alonso's HOMER, as it was leaving the yard. It was one of those EARLY DEFINING MOMENTS in a game, where you say "If the Braves win, REMEMBER THAT PLAY!!" Yes he was impactful on offense as well!
Rates as IMPORTANT WIN! Loss would have dropped us 5.5 games back. Doubleheader today!!
OFC
Glad I didn't watch the first game of the doubleheader. Apparently, the loss was never in doubt and it took 4 hours. I really enjoyed the 7 innings doubleheaders.
Tonight it's Fried vs Scherzer and I think tomorrow is Strider vs deGrom

First game was disaster.We made score respectable at end, but issue never in doubt. Down 3-0 to Scherzer 2nd game in 4TH, so it's going to be rough going. If we lose, we drop 5.5 games back of Mets-biggest deficit in some time. OFC
I would have challenged the play at the plate. I thought that D'Arnaud beat the tag. Probably would not have been reversed, but need a break when Scherzer is pitching so well
we’re on the verge of 1-3 since “doing “right” because he finally hit a HR, which we lost anyway.and you’re gloatin? lol you’re special
5.5 games back of the Mets, after entering New York 3.5 back. I know there's over a month of baseball left, but think a loss today could be the defining moment in the NL EAST race.Lose today? Better be sure and pick up a wildcard spot! Hate to say it, but the Mets are just a better team.

It’s simple. We’re not playing playoff baseball against playoff teams. You can’t hit for power against teams with aces and (some) decide to try and turn it on at the end of the game. We will have to get on another helluva run and play playoffs baseball against our remaining playoffs teams to overtake the Mets. IF we don’t and get a wildcard spot the good thing is (some) of this team has, it seems like we can turn it on and off. We’re playing with fire though doing that.
I have figured out why the Mets stadium is located in Flushing....that place is full of turds.
I've tried to watch the fight in the stands several times on mute and it won't mute and there are people around and lots of cursing in the video
The Mets are playing well. Even though they didn't score in the first, they forced Strider to throw 29 pitches
7 more games against the Mets after today. All in Atlanta. Relax.
I’d hate to see how panicked some of you guys were this time last year.

Braves have a chance. deGrom was perfect through 5.2 and then a walk and a Swanson HR, and now deGrom is out of the game
deGrom must be incredible because I enjoyed watching him pitch even though he was crushing my team
I've never pitched in my life. I don't know what I'm talking about... deGrom seems perfect except that he is often hurt and even in the healthy years he was winning the cy young with records such as 10-9. He wins one game 7-2 and loses the next 2-1. I think that he should pitch twice a week out of the bullpen in tight games once through the batting order.
Maybe go 9-5 with 15 saves while pitching only 125 innings and saving his arm for the postseason. Or he could be satisfied with throwing 93mph and saving his shoulder rather than throwing 100 mph all the time

Can’t do nothin but laugh when you’re hurt. I’m hurt , passed off,, fk it. We still got life. We need a little life support and some help though.
A tremendous win on Tuesday on TBS where the Braves belong. Acuna was incredible on the bases . Scored three runs I believe. An average runner might have scored one. A great slide in the 11th. Unfortunately, Arcia pulled a muscle trying to get to second when he put the Braves up 7-6 in the tenth
Vaughn Grissom gets the call up!
He was taking care of bizzness in the minors.
Let's Go!

Yes, or at least my team has also had a bunch. The Cardinals
3 run HR from Ozuna to make ot 3-0. He hits a lot of HRs for a guy who doesn't get many hits
