Braves 2021

I’ll be glad when baseball ends this shift crap. We get shifted on more than any club in baseball. To me that’s a cheat and huge advantage to the pitcher.
 
This game was a pleasant surprise. I did not expect our bullpen to perform like this. Great job by everyone.

Fried on the mound tomorrow. Should be a bullpen game for them. A pen that we have seen a ton of this series. Let's close this out tomorrow!
 
Who would have guessed back on August 1 the Braves would be in this position?
This made me go back in this thread to see what was being said around 1 August. Let's just say we were a bit frustrated...lol. So glad we got the bullpen figured out, and really proud of the way this team has battled all season.

They asked Tim Kurkjian (main ESPN baseball analyst) what changes he would make to baseball if he could, first thing he said was end the shift.

The enforcement of such a rule would be onerous IMO...This radical shifting would end in a hurry if teams took it on themselves to have batters start slapping the ball toward the open side of the infield or even bunting to get easy hits. Girls can do it in softball, so why can't major league hitters??

I think Joc should've seriously gone for that bunt he showed late in the game when the entire left side was unmanned. He could've had a bunt double.
 
Back in August and early September we were looking like an early out in the playoffs and none from the East projected to getting this deep. Judging from then to now I would say we have overachieved already. That spells Cinderella but nobody wants to float that boat. All I hear on serius XM is how does the Dodgers get back in this. Makes me want to puke. What’s up with all the Dodger love? They got theirs last year. It’s our turn dadgumit!

You are correct. All I hear on ESPN and other media outlets is LA this, LA that. The LA love is pretty sickening. At least MLB Network is giving the Braves love. This is why I really hope we eliminate this team tonight.

Even the TBS announcers seem very homerish for the Dodgers to the point I muted the tv and pulled up XM and got the Braves feed. On channel 183 for those that want to hear Braves homerism.
 
MLB is panicking right now. The World Series could well be contested between the team they hate the most and the one people in general do.
It’s a real joke on baseball that Houston even gets to play for another one so soon. I know most of the cheaters are gone, but some of the players were involved. If we are going to pretty much let that blow by then they need to go ahead and put Pete Rose in the Hall.

I honestly don’t know how hated we are around the League. I know the Marlins loathe us, but I thought otherwise we were pretty neutral. I know Freeman and Ozzie get the opposing players in a bunch of conversations and a bunch of friendly banter around the League. There something I’m missing?

It's clearly obvious that MLB has it in for Atlanta simply from the All Star game being taken away. Told my ol' lady today that if the Braves can somehow win the whole thing, it would be the biggest middle finger ever.
I posted this a couple of weeks ago. MLB hates the Braves.

Liz - screw the MLB leadership...they shouldn't pulled the All Star game this year to get that Rocky Mountain high...how great would it be to advance to the WS and make all of MLB-dom have to listen to thousands of screaming Braves fans doing the chop...:D
