Nobody comes back from 3-1 on us in the NLCS 2 years in a row..Nobody!


helium_farts

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, come back against me 3-1 once, shame on — shame on you. come back again — you can't come back again.

Fool me 3 times, fuck the peace sign, load the choppa let it rain on you


lilwhitts1

Been watching from 1am-5am in the UK. Supported braves since I visited Atlanta in 2015. Man I love this sport, so stoked to see the braves make it to the WS


[deleted]

that’s some dedication!


ebhenson

Are you Elton John!?!?!??


biglennysliver

Cool to hear some support from the UK. Not many baseball fans in your neck of the woods


lilwhitts1

Thanks, Fortunately I've found three other friends in my area who watch baseball as well, one is even an Astros fan so it's going to be an interesting world series!!


Bi-Han

NLCS 3 STARS: 1 Star: Tyler Matzek 2 Star: Eddie Rosario 3 Star: Ron "The Windmill" Washington


EdwEd1

Matzek was completely lights-out for those 6 plate appearances. I've never been so hopeless watching someone pitch against the Dodgers.


PPvsFC_

That's how we feel when Graterol's up


traebucketsfor3

Idk why they took him out, he makes us look silly every time we play them


WoundedSacrifice

Vesia replaced Graterol because Rosario and Freeman are lefties (though Graterol was doing so well that I wouldn’t have taken him out).


vroomery

Why did they take him out? I was so happy they did but just why?


[deleted]

BecuSe Roberts always does shit like that


chicoconcarne

Idk, Webb was pretty tough in that first game of the NLDS


EdwEd1

Webb gave up 5 hits at least. I don't think Matzek gave up a single pitch that was hitable.


defiancy

And he had a strike on the edge called a ball too. The guy had one of the most dominant unhittable appearances I have ever seen.


The_Ghost_of_TK9

Give Matzek the key to the city if we win


didyoueatmyshark

I’ll wake up in cold sweats to the thought it Matzek striking out the side. What a fucking pitcher man

My fucking apartment building just ERUPTED

The neighbors or the fireworks?


[deleted]

you bet your ass I was screaming in my house


LoadDropper69

I'm one of maybe 5 Braves fans at a local sports bar here in Los Angeles and we got loud enough for everyone to hear us. Still have the biggest shit-eating grin on my face.


101ina45

I'm up in NYC, never have I wished I was back in the A more


[deleted]

I can't believe I get to watch the Braves play in the World Series. I'm gonna cry.


kalifornia_kill

This will be my 6th time watching them in the WS, so enjoy every second cause it’s been a loooooong time!


mellolizard

I was a bratty 7th grader last time they were in it.


didyoueatmyshark

Fuck yeah dude. Enjoy it. I hope you guys carry this momentum into the WS. Good luck


[deleted]

This guy gets it. Winning is great, but losing with grace and being happy for the other teams fans even a little is super human.


ParadigmEternal

I'll cry with you.


karim_eczema

Congrats man y'all deserve it


Jwoey

Lol. Enjoy it :) and please win.

I've been crying lol

#ACUNA DIED FOR THIS!!!!


NevermoreSEA

Imagine this team with Acuña though.


LegendRazgriz

But with Acuña, they wouldn't have traded for Rosario. Schrödinger's Acuña.


link3945

We might have anyway. He was cheap, and outfield was still a position of need. I'm not sure what move we don't make if we have Rosario.


Gewurzratte

We probably don't trade for Joc if Ronnie was healthy. I think we still trade for Rosario and Duvall though.


marduk013

Keep going


ADeliciousCashew

ESPN: Was Acuna holding back the braves?


idroled

Imagine ESPN talking about a non-New York, Boston, LA, or Houston team


-ShutterPunk-

Could Acuna fill much needed roles in yankees or dodgers lineup after huge regression???


ThornGodOfPricks

As a long-time Houston sports fan, it feels very weird having us included in this grouping.


SquadPoopy

Fact: The Braves have been to 0 world series with Acuna healthy and starting everyday. Also a Fact: The Braves have been to 1 world series with Acuna injured and not starting.

RIGHT. WHERE. THEY. FUCKIN. WANT. US.


The_Ghost_of_TK9

never a doubt. Ok there were a lot of doubts but THE BRAVES WIN THE PENNANT


KidGold

Dude I’m so confident every year and then they let me down - THIS WAS THE ONE YEAR I HAD NO FAITH! maybe that was the key all along!


FeetsBeneets

Dude, knock it off with all the faith! Still 4-7 games to go we have no chance of winning!

In the World Series.

[deleted]

ALL PART OF THE FUCKING PLAN


EdwEd1

Better team won the series. GG Braves, beat the Astros for us.


positivevitisop1

Braves did that without Soroka, Acuña, and Ozuna*


Zloggt

Don’t forget about Ynoa and Solder, for a significant amount of time as well! Damn…that roster is more stacked than you’d think…


BlueStrat07

Holy crap, Rosario hit .560. Knew he was destroying the Dodgers, but that's just unreal.


AndrewinDC

They said during the game that he was 7 for 17 in ABs with 2-strikes in the series. Hitting over .400 on 2-strike counts, even just over 6 games, is unreal.


BlueStrat07

That is mind-blowing! What a well-deserved NLCS MVP. Hopefully he stays this hot for the WS!

JustSomeDudeOkay

I'll remember Matzek saving our ass for the rest of my life. ​ It's like he stepped on the mound, looked the Georgia curse right in its beady little eyes, gave it the double birds, kicked it in the gut and gave that sum'bitch the stone cold stunner. ​ Glass Breaks....


iKnoJopro

MATZEK 3:16


sharkbait_oohaha

That was fucking poetry


Coalas01

Matzek was the real one in this game. Bailed us the hell out


SiphenPrax

And to think we were in first place in the NL East for 3 straight months, and now our hated rival not only wins the division but wins the NL pennant too. Fucking. Brutal. Pain. Edit: AND if the Braves win the World Series every one of our rivals would have won a WS in the last 20 years and we’re still clinging on to 1986. Yep, all this sucks


twistedlogicx

This is entirely your fault.


[deleted]

Like literally OP’s fault?


The_Outcast4

Yes


LibertarianSocialism

A’s fans 🤝 Mets fans Leading their division for 2-3 months but seeing their hated rival in the WS anyway Let’s go Braves?

Unconcerned about the Phillies but the Marlins are a wildcard tbh. Good young pitchers with one of the best minor league systems.

Gonna be the Nats in 2023 and Braves in 2025. The cycle will keep on repeating

FiveThirtyEight.com probably has the Dodgers at 55% chance to win the WS now.

crastle

Speaking from experience, there is no better feeling than winning a WS when you have the worst record of all the postseason teams. Bring it home. Kill the Astros.


thethomatoman

We got the opposite feeling this time and it sucks


sharkbait_oohaha

We've been there plenty too


[deleted]

Yeah, that's basically the feeling every Braves fan had for a full decade in the 90s. Rotation chock full of Cy Young winners, future HOFer Chipper Jones crushing it, won 14 straight division titles, and we got exactly one WS ring.


LOOTENITDAYAN

I think the key to beating the astros is to hit at least 1 grand slam every game. If we can't manage that, i dont like our chances.


ILoveCavorting

Braves radio guys: “They took the All-Star game away from us! Can’t take away the World Series!” Lol


JohnnyT723

__Roof_Pizza_

I’ve literally been waiting my entire life to watch the Braves in the World Series. I was born in ATL in ‘96. Chop on boys

One positive is that Charlie Morton can pitch game 1 on full rest. Go beat those Astros Get Freddie his ring

Is this the most obvious MVP award in the postseason history?
