Yes it was an ugly loss. But they can flush it and move on. Same way the Dodgers did after losing 10-1 Saturday night. If you told me last Friday that we would be taking a 2-1 series lead into game 4 I would gladly have been ok with it. I think a lot of us were worried that we would lose this series. And the Mets lost Sunday also. Got Max going tonight. Let's get after it.
Again, Chipper nailed it. When we needed Arcia to get a run in from 3rd, he struck out swinging and the pitcher never threw a pitch that was a strike. I get it - the guy was throwing a hundred, but you can't just close your eyes and swing as hard as you can. Travis didn't do much better. Our approach to hitting sucks. How do we know that if we got that guy in from 3rd it might not have changed everything?
Man when we were leading and uncle Charlie looked solid I thought we might 4 game sweep them THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY! All started with that pitch clock violation I told my dad right when that happened should be 3 outs here we go! 🤦🏻♂️ Do not get me started with the frustration having a fast runner on 3rd and a runner on 2nd NO OUTS and we get no runs that was when I knew we were gonna lose that game 😞 first 2 were great I hope Maximus shows up and we get a 3-1 series win!
That 8th inning was terrible. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, and TDA swings at balls 4,5 and 6. Then Arica swings at all balls for a K, and Kelnic gets 3 fastballs for strikes and swings through all of them. Just terrible.
@@MassBoost I gotcha. It’s hard to tell on the app. I don’t have access to watch the games live anymore. I had MLBTV the last few years and 75% of the games were blacked out, so it was pretty much pointless and a waste of money.
Don’t think I can recall a Braves team that is so bad with RISP. Honestly I’m tired of seeing Kelenic play right now. Laureano is the better option, I think Snit needs to stop with that platoon and let Laureano go.
Laureano is 30 years old so he who is too. There's a reason why he was let go by the guardians. Kelenic is young still and there's hope that he can still grow
Between slobbing all over Shohei, the announcers did mention how no team would want to play the Braves if they can get in, get Ozzie/Austin back, and then you're throwing Sale in G1, Fried in G2, Schwelly G3, Lopez or Sale again for Game 4. This was their best take of the night.
@MassBoost why do you think? Yes, he had a 3 run double in game 2 but we definitely need an upgrade next year. I'm sure you'll tell us how great Arcia is though..we're waiting
Who are they going to go get that's so much better? Arcia would be a fine 9 hole hitter like he used to be before half the team got hurt or underperformed. And he plays good defense and stays healthy. I don't think he's our biggest concern.
At least they will get a split.I thought they would only win the Sale game.This season can’t end soon enough.I can’t stomach any more Arcia,Kelenic,Merrifield,Urshela,Murphy et al.
Literally only 2 of those guys is not contributing to the team, seems like you're just blaming literally everyone for no reason. Murphy and Kelenic are the only 2 of those that are actually screwing us. Arcia and Merrifield provide fielding and defense, Urshela provides defense and gets on base.
I am taking this with a grain of salt! RI, bad game.....I hope this will be only bad game of the year! Morton, great start! I did not watch, did listen on radio, WE could/should have WON!!!!!
I had to miss most of the game, but If i had to describe this loss in one word it would be nasty, that defensive meltdown that the braves had was not pretty. On the other hand it was pretty impressive they managed to split and they still have a game left later today, I hope we can get to yamamoto like we have against good pitching. Lets go braves🪓
I'm one of the only Dylan Lee fans, and as ONE positive I can say at least everyone forgot about his 2 violations. People can get mad at him all they want but when you give up 7 runs in the 9th nothing Lee did mattered anyway. Obviously he should be professional but I bet he has something going on, maybe a family issue or something because he's as solid as they come usually.
@@LockedOnBraves I completely disagree that him essentially walking one guy, which is what happened, that they scored 7 runs in the 9th. In no way shape or form do I think you can seriously say that walking one guy caused that.
I am so tired of hearing about Ohtani. The whole ESPN broadcast was about him. The guy can hit the ball but he cannot do anything else. They want him as MVP? Go Braves!
The entire broadcast was propaganda and an Ad for him to win MVP. I love they compared him to Horace Wagner instead of Acuna, acting like he didn't just have a 40/70 season.
He is 50/50… what do you mean? He’s a generational talent, I’m a braves fan but he and Acuña are in the same category. Last year people were also tired of hearing about Acuña.
He’s literally making history stop crying. Can’t do anything else? He’s gonna have 50+ stolen bases and will be a Cy Young contender next year. The hate is unreal.
The baseball gods are challenging us while still smiling on us. Half our rosters of star players on the IL and we still have a chance for a post season spot. That’s pretty amazing actually. I think it’s the white Sox that are being punished this year 😅
It would be best if we miss the playoffs this year and make changes in the off-season, but I got a bad feeling the Mets will pull a Mets next week and get swept by us at home.
At the end of the day even if they played two in the 8th it wouldn’t have mattered if Iggy was gonna give up 7 in the 9th. Wish we could have taken that one. Walker was tough and their bullpen kept it close. Flush it and get today.
A lot of the bigger pieces went up with a game plan and reached but the replacements struggled throughout the game. Getting on the same page has been a challenge with all the injuries
Ugly ending of a game, but this was the game I thought the Braves would most likely lose in this series. It was very unlikely the Braves would 4 Game Sweep the Dodgers going into this thing and Iglesias was due for an off night at some point. Hopefully we win tonight and win 3/4 against Dodgers and I’ll be more than pleased with the result.
what a joke, Jake you are not a Braves Fan anymore. nothing but negativity. the injuries were brutal, no MLB team could have a season has good as its been
@@kevinanderson961 lmfao, its an excuse lost Acuna, Strider, Ablies, Murphy, Minter, Riley, im sure i missed a few more. thats a lot of starters missing
It was over after they started with runners on 2nd and 3rd in the 8th, with no outs, in a tie game.. and they failed to get a single run in. What happened in the 9th was pure baseball karma. Hopefully it doesn't carry into the next game
Ugly loss? Friday and Saturday were ugly losses for LA. We’re incredibly fortunate to have won two of these games and we still have a chance to win three. This team doesn’t belong in the playoffs nor will they do any damage in the playoffs so why even worry about that?
Best closer in baseball and Snit tells him to walk Ohtani and then doesn't shade Mookie up the middle when the analytics show to. 2nd and 3rd with no outs and not a single ball put in play because everyone is trying to hit a homerun. I want Arcia gone, forget Max and sign Adames please.
@DJShire_ATL meaning shade your short stop up the middle. If you look at Betts spray chart, most of his balls are hit up the middle and to the immediate left of 2nd. Analytics would show you should shade Arcia in that situation more towards 2nd and that hit he has to bust it open is an easy GB out. Honestly we shouldn't have walked Ohtani. You have the best reliever in all of baseball, I don't care if it's a righty/lefty matchup. Let Iggy face the monster. Just a very bad gamble.
I don't know why Merrifield started yapping about a pitch that was nowhere close to him. He should know better than anyone to let a sleeping dog lie. Dodgers were an asleep team until the last half of that game.
Last night's lost was absolutely horrible, but tonight's lost just put that one to shame, calling it right now, this team WILL not make the playoffs
Yes it was an ugly loss. But they can flush it and move on. Same way the Dodgers did after losing 10-1 Saturday night. If you told me last Friday that we would be taking a 2-1 series lead into game 4 I would gladly have been ok with it. I think a lot of us were worried that we would lose this series.

I sure hope so!
No run support for Charlie is pitiful,team has to do better for our pitchers.
Poor performance by the offense.
Arcia has a 25% K rate and an OPS of 450 with RISP this year. There's no excuse to go into next year with him as the only option at SS.
Again, Chipper nailed it. When we needed Arcia to get a run in from 3rd, he struck out swinging and the pitcher never threw a pitch that was a strike.

Haha. It really did. I was riding high as well through the middle of that game.

Orlando only swung at 2 balls and 1 strike.
@@MassBoost I was watching on Gameday and they all looked up and in off the plate.
@@Lonewolf83848 4th pitch, strike number 2 was in the strike zone according to statcast.

It was awful. Against a guy who was clearly on the ropes -- they let him off.
2 in a row for Fried..
We seem to strugle against pitchers with 5+ ERA. But Iglesias showed he is human.
Igg was due for a clunker.
It's crazy how good we make bad pitchers look.
Great Take Jake!🎉🎉
I know it's early but
I already have my (wishful)
2025 Team.#GoBRAVES
Thanks. Go Braves!
It happens, 3 out of 4 was the best we good hope for. just get this one
Honestly, coming in I thought a split was best we could hope for with the way we looked in Washington.
By the way, Soler is killing us in right field. There are so many balls that Laureano would catch but Soler let's drop in front of him.
Laureano is a bit of a wild card out there as well sometimes.
Soler is terrible
@@LockedOnBraves True and right now Soler is hitting better, but Laureano moves better and goes all out after balls. Soler has one speed.
Such great at bats all weekend until Travis and Orlando swinging at balls with the bases loaded. At least Jarred was chasing in the zone
Those were awful.
@@LockedOnBraves Orlando just has no plate discipline whatsoever
Don’t think I can recall a Braves team that is so bad with RISP. Honestly I’m tired of seeing Kelenic play right now. Laureano is the better option, I think Snit needs to stop with that platoon and let Laureano go.
How is Laureano a better option against right handed pitching than Kelenic?
@@MassBoost Your a better option than Kelesuc
Laureano is a gamer. He’s still got upside. Kelenic is who he is. Agree, let Laureano go
Laureano is 30 years old so he who is too. There's a reason why he was let go by the guardians. Kelenic is young still and there's hope that he can still grow
It's mental now.
Between slobbing all over Shohei, the announcers did mention how no team would want to play the Braves if they can get in, get Ozzie/Austin back, and then you're throwing Sale in G1, Fried in G2, Schwelly G3, Lopez or Sale again for Game 4. This was their best take of the night.
And I agree and have been saying as much. IF this team can get in, they have the pitching staff to scare some teams.
Arcia can’t be the SS in 2025. Just can’t
Why?
@MassBoost why do you think? Yes, he had a 3 run double in game 2 but we definitely need an upgrade next year. I'm sure you'll tell us how great Arcia is though..we're waiting
@@iangrinols4370An upgrade would be great but the braves are paying Arcia peanuts so he is a good value
@@lightpen1005 Bruh, It’s not your money. Arcia is not a WS winning Starting Shortstop,Period.

It's been rough. But nights like Friday and Saturday still give me so much hope.
I bave lived and worked overseas the last 12 years....best decision I made. Plan to retire overseas as well.
Good for you!
I am taking this with a grain of salt! RI, bad game.....I hope this will be only bad game of the year! Morton, great start! I did not watch, did listen on radio, WE could/should have WON!!!!!
Plenty of those games this year. Yea, hopefully they rebound on Monday.

Still got a chance to win it!
Charlie was in the zone for 4+ innings. I’d sign him up for 1 more year. Orlando Arcia lacks discipline. I’ve been watching closely his at bats.
Maybe at a lower cost.
@@LockedOnBraves agree. I loved the way he went after Ohtani. A sight to see. Brilliant and very entertaining.
Good thing it only counts as a single loss. Let's hope Max can close the series out with a W. #everydayer
Agreed. And thanks, Doc!
Sunday night baseball curse strikes again.
Just add that to the cursed 2024 season
It hasn't been great.
The first time I saw Ian Mejía I could not avoid to compare him to Alejandro Peña.
I can see that.
Flush Sundays nights loss and look forward to tonight's series win.
The Braves never win Sunday Night Baseball lol
Haha. Very true.
I'm one of the only Dylan Lee fans, and as ONE positive I can say at least everyone forgot about his 2 violations. People can get mad at him all they want but when you give up 7 runs in the 9th nothing Lee did mattered anyway. Obviously he should be professional but I bet he has something going on, maybe a family issue or something because he's as solid as they come usually.
The catcher also shares some responsibility for not calling time out.
Still, that can't happen. And it helped push the lineup around, so I think it did matter.
@@LockedOnBraves I completely disagree that him essentially walking one guy, which is what happened, that they scored 7 runs in the 9th. In no way shape or form do I think you can seriously say that walking one guy caused that.

The worst was hearing Mookie talk about himself and then Ohtani for a long half inning where we didn't score.
The entire broadcast was propaganda and an Ad for him to win MVP. I love they compared him to Horace Wagner instead of Acuna, acting like he didn't just have a 40/70 season.

Stop using injures as an excuse. Every team has injures. We got major league players on the roster not the Gwinnett Stripers.
@@kevinanderson961 lmfao, its an excuse lost Acuna, Strider, Ablies, Murphy, Minter, Riley, im sure i missed a few more. thats a lot of starters missing
That reliever they brought in who gave up back-to-back homers who is that guy I've never seen him before and I wasn't too impressed either
John Brebbia. It's the guy they wanted to add for depth instead of calling up Daysbel Hernandez when rosters expanded.
It was over after they started with runners on 2nd and 3rd in the 8th, with no outs, in a tie game.. and they failed to get a single run in. What happened in the 9th was pure baseball karma. Hopefully it doesn't carry into the next game
Certainly seemed like a big momentum shift.
If we miss the playoffs with the way our starting pitching as been good this year then everybody on this team needs to be fired.
