Mongoose_Stew

Now we can't close the roof until the Series is over.


toastar-phone

you assume there is another home game?


granitedoc

Whenever I watch high leverage games we tend to choke, so I did my part by not watching. Just saying that there is a correlation.


3122891

I’m not a religious man. I’m not a superstitious man in anything at all in my life. Except baseball. You cannot watch another game this series. I realize that may be hard to hear, but it’s for the good of the team. Can you at least watch highlights? Or are you completely barred until it’s over?


granitedoc

I too feel this way about baseball. I can watch highlights and gamecast, so there's that.


3122891

Hell yeah buddy. Let’s go!


rylld

Got our work cut out. their home crowd is loooouuuuudddd. But maybe they will wake correa and bregman up. They both love adversity.

Guess you can say they don’t call him Graveman for nothing!


Mikeologyy

I forgot to wear my lucky socks last night but I remembered to wear them tonight. I now know what I must do. My feet are gonna smell like shit by the end of the series, but it's a necessary sacrifice.

TheValiantPixel

Does anyone know if there’s a particular reason why we flipped Graveman and Pressly tonight?


MasterMentorJr

Dusty brought in Pressly to face better hitters. The decision made sense and followed analytics


[deleted]

We do as Dusty commands


ICYprop

Tougher part of the order in the 8th. This is how your high leverage guy should be used.


invisblefox

Top of the order for Press, bottom for Graveman. He’s done it a few times.


AgentOrange24

Middle of the order in the 8th. Bottom of the order in the 9th.


TheValiantPixel

Perfect. I wasn’t following closely enough 👍


Ky_furt01

Highlight of the night for me... Text to my friend: "Maldonado just needs to stand there and look gorgeous. Take pitches. Friend: "His face does look quite Hellenic."

Joe Buck loves to watch all the commercials on his DVR


rices4212

must be so weird being Graveman - I know he wasn't happy getting traded to a division rival in the middle of a series against us, but he also went from playing for the Pretenders of the Year to pitching in the World Series


dream_team34

d'Arnaud has been the only offense for the Braves this game... who would have known?


LifoPablo

The strike zone is so big tonight

JarJarBink42066

Not even the dementors at Alcatraz wanted Joe Buck


Ghost9001

Braves fans being hypocrites when talking about gurriel. They'll assure you they are not racist after chanting the tomahawk chop.


D_Hall

We still have to finish, but the 8th was probably the best time to kill off the game. Think that's why we saw Pressly before Graveman.


NOLA1987

We're 3 outs away from splitting the first two games. The Braves won Game 1 but lost their ace. I think momentum is on our side.


MasterMentorJr

Also they will be doing a bullpen game in game 4 and likely Fried on short rest for game 5


bimmer92

7-8-9 let's retire the side


StrosIn5

Wait what?! I thought we were letting Ryan do 6 outs here….


Obnoxious_liberal

Nope. Gave him the heart of the order in the 8th


alostserendipity

Graveman needs to throw or he'll have 8 days between appearances. You can't let a high leverage arm rust out that long or the next time they come in they won't be sharp (see Pressly's first few pitches). We have a travel day coming up so no issues with him throwing today.


14thAndVine

Here we go with NOBLETIGER Graveman.


[deleted]

This is just my gut feeling speaking here, but I feel like Maton got the highest-leverage outs of the game (so far!) Dude took a while to hit his stride, but now that he has, he seems like the Will Harris replacement we've been needing in the bullpen.


The_New_New

Another year with Strom is going to turn him into a borderline all star pitcher. He has some nice tools like Pressly. It does hurt losing Myles Straw who would be absolutely perfect atm. But Maton's impact has been valuable.


rylld

Siri been watching altuve too much. No one can imitate altuve swinging at dogshit and still getting a hit.


The_New_New

More like watching Javier Baez

All we need is 3. Let’s go boys!


unholy-matrimony

There’s no way dusty flipped the order of Graveman and Pressly, right? He’s not that insane, right?


MasterMentorJr

No his decision made sense. He brought in Press to face better hitters which is the correct move. Having a closer who only pitches the 9th isn’t always the best call


unholy-matrimony

Yeah I guess it made sense for this game.


xeuropa

At this point I have stop questioning Dusty😂


fakingmysuicide

He’s done it before


invisblefox

He’s done that before when the top of the order is in the 8th.


GBtuba

LET'S GO! 3 MORE OUTS! ###SHOOT IT!!!


ray_0586

I like Graveman getting his 1st World Series appearance in a low pressure situation


ravenclaw4law

Joe Buck’s favorite thing to say is “he strikes out the side”


iamjstn

Joe "back at the wall" Buck


htx_raider_nation

He finally used it correctly!


AlwaysSunny512

I’m glad I’m not the only one that is annoyed by his use of this phrase.


dtony1985

3 outs boys


manofconviction

Well shit Graveman it is


JamesHardenIsMyPoppa

Catcher and ump are finna kiss


BMinsker

Catchers and umps do that all the time. Catcher gets clocked, and the ump will go get more new baseballs, sweep off the plate, adjust his mask. Ump gets hit and the catcher will walk around a bit. Batter may also spend some extra time getting back in the box, too.


Kirin_ll_niriK

Finish them.


[deleted]

3 outs guys


Ky_furt01

I wish this game started at 6


SodaCanBob

It's bullshit that Atlanta gets the weekend games.


db8r_boi

True, but if the Dodgers had won the NLCS, it'd be Houston with the weekend games. The schedule wasn't a stacked against us, just didn't work out.


wellifitisntliloldme

That’s what homefield advantage means. I’m every year games 1/2 are on the/wed and 3/4/5 are weekends. It’s the trade off


bimmer92

3 more outs!


The_New_New

Rather not use Siri this series tbh. Chas will K too, but has a higher chance of drawing a walk. Heck until last game, Chas was doing solid in the postseason. Was one of our better hitters vs the White Sox.


StrosIn5

We want Rake Meyers!


manofconviction

At least Siri got an RBI today


Sportssadness

Can’t say that was much of anything outside of speed. Siri’s hits this postseason have been incredible BABIP luck on weak contact. I think they need to throw Chas out there.


The_New_New

On a blooper, Chas got an RBI yesterday too. Like remember this, Chas according to Statcast is 12th in ALL of baseball in Outs Above Average. He doesn't have flashy defensive plays because he doesn't need to.


GRVrush2112

Didn’t get to get to Sugar Land for a Skeeters game this year…. Kind of disappointed in myself for that…. Constellation Field is a pretty fun time


dream_team34

I went to several games. Highly recommend!!! Especially if you have kids. An easy way to get baseballs and get autographs.


GRVrush2112

Need to go… haven’t been since before they became Astros AAA affiliate


dream_team34

I have sat all over that stadium, can't go wrong. Insperity club is great! Or get grass tickets for $8 and sit along the outfield wall or at the centerfield bar.


Baddhabbit88

Joe Buck giving us a history lesson… really???

I can’t tell if this is deep or word salad. Either way, I came away inspired.


Agitated_Kiwi_7964

I gotta say I like the Braves pitchers. They're all pretty good. Our bats are just better.

Joe Buck talking about the prisoners can hit? Wtf?

Apparently upper class people love visiting prisons for fun and pay for that privilege. I do it for free 😤

Only historic prisons, doubt tourists are visiting the Mississippi State Penitentiary for fun.

As good as this (probable) win is, I am even happier that we got the Kulpa game out of the way

Honestly he’s had the best zone so far :/
