The game's on TBS tomorrow night at least...Sorta like old times.
Baseball Braves 2023
- Thread starter SoddyNole
- Start date
Oddly enough, LSU is a -145 favorite to win tonight. Guess Vegas knows something I don't... Perhaps Ben McDonald is going to pass through a time machine and come down from the booth to pitch.
And the Stinkin' Gators are getting shelled. Wish LSU could put 25 on them, but suspect their coach has more class than that.
I take back what I said about Dylan Dodd... Joe Ryan should be all-time pitcher for the Home Run Derby.
This is incredible ... five home runs in two innings... two by Acuna
Well, they've hit 5 in the first 10 batters tonight.
I think they're trying to break the record for solo homers in a season. Or maybe they have the overall record of 307 in mind.
He was outstanding ... it was surprising to watch Minn hitters strike out on ball four pitches.
Olson is on fire. Moving him to the five hole was a good move. It's the perfect spot for the NL leader in HRs and RBIs.
Vote for him and other Braves for the All-Star
Game:
Yep. The Marlins have been playing better than expected. Winning the series should be the goal.
A series sweep would put the Marlins 9 games behind, and could be devastating to them.
The Braves have quietly snuck up to within a game of the Rays, who no longer look like a beast. Still an outstanding team, mind you, but the bloom is off the rose a little.

Thought this was really cool.

Charles Barkley surprises Ernie Johnson on air with news of his Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame election
How is Johnson just now receiving the honor?
They're a game behind only because they've played fewer games. Atlanta has one less loss than the Rays and are on the top of a lot of power rankings.
And after we polish off the Marlins, we get a few games with the Rays after that. What will they be saying of the Bravos find a way to sweep both of them?
I wonder when Olson will start getting some MVP consideration. He's absolutely raking the ball this year.
Well, the one holding out IS a fanboy of another player, so....
I don't do Twitter, so I wonder if this happened last night. 16 hits, plus 27 outs = 43. 16 divided by 43 = .372, so looks likely, doesn't it?
A lengthy read, but here's a great article on Arcia and fans "rooting for laundry".

How Orlando Arcia's All-Star turn with the Braves illustrates MLB's widescreen drama
Orlando Arcia’s unexpected rise is just the latest example of how baseball confounds its own narrative arcs.
Today's game should be interesting for certain... Miami's rolling out their young phenom Eury Perez. The kid's been virtually untouchable...so after trouncing the Marlins' weakest starter last night, we shall see what this Braves lineup can do with this one.

He's 2-2 in his last four games mainly because he's getting little run support (W 2-0, L 2-0, W 4-1, L 2-1). Let's hope the trend continues.
