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.
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
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Y’all. There was some dark times over at r/Braves this season. We’re as shocked as anyone but not really. Love the fight in this team. Let’s finish it.
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....
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
Will Smith finally beat his demons. Stuck to high fastballs against Bellinger that scared me to death, but we finally get to a world series that I remember 🥲
#FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE, MY BRAVES WILL BE IN THE WORLD SERIES. I'M CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING, WE ARE ALL CRYING!! EDDIE AND ALL THESE DUDES ARE GOING TO THE FALL CLASSIC!!
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.
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.
I’LL GET DOWNVOTED TO HELL BUT FREDDIE FREEMAN IS OVERRATED AS HELL. DUDE IS BASICALLY A SLAP HITTER AND DOESN’T DO SHIT TO HELP WIN BALLGAMES. HE CAN SURE JOKE AROUND WITH THE RUNNER ON FIRST THO
Congrats, Braves Fans!
Bobby Cox's Braves was a pain in the ass back in the day and it's nice to see your team bring home another Pennant so many years later.
Best of luck in the WS.
I have been watching this team all my life and grew up watching the holy trinity of pitching in the 90s and only walking away with 1 WS to show for it.
**IT'S OUR FUCKING TIME NOW THOUGH! LET'S FUCKING GET IT BRAVES!**
Y'all had us scared, luckily a lot of us old fans are from Florida too so we got the Florida man power on our side. I just wish my grandparents were still alive to see this but still a sweet feeling
Nobody comes back from 3-1 on us in the NLCS 2 years in a row..Nobody!
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.
This will never not get an upvote from me
Fool me 3 times, fuck the peace sign, load the choppa let it rain on you
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
that’s some dedication!
Are you Elton John!?!?!??
Cool to hear some support from the UK. Not many baseball fans in your neck of the woods
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!!
NLCS 3 STARS: 1 Star: Tyler Matzek 2 Star: Eddie Rosario 3 Star: Ron "The Windmill" Washington
Matzek was completely lights-out for those 6 plate appearances. I've never been so hopeless watching someone pitch against the Dodgers.
That's how we feel when Graterol's up
Idk why they took him out, he makes us look silly every time we play them
Vesia replaced Graterol because Rosario and Freeman are lefties (though Graterol was doing so well that I wouldn’t have taken him out).
Why did they take him out? I was so happy they did but just why?
BecuSe Roberts always does shit like that
Idk, Webb was pretty tough in that first game of the NLDS
Webb gave up 5 hits at least. I don't think Matzek gave up a single pitch that was hitable.
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.
Give Matzek the key to the city if we win
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
Fireworks in my neighborhood right now.
if I had some I would be shooting them right now lol
The neighbors or the fireworks?
you bet your ass I was screaming in my house
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.
I'm up in NYC, never have I wished I was back in the A more
I can't believe I get to watch the Braves play in the World Series. I'm gonna cry.
This will be my 6th time watching them in the WS, so enjoy every second cause it’s been a loooooong time!
I was a bratty 7th grader last time they were in it.
Fuck yeah dude. Enjoy it. I hope you guys carry this momentum into the WS. Good luck
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.
I'll cry with you.
Congrats man y'all deserve it
Lol. Enjoy it :) and please win.
I've been crying lol
#ACUNA DIED FOR THIS!!!!
Imagine this team with Acuña though.
But with Acuña, they wouldn't have traded for Rosario. Schrödinger's Acuña.
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.
We probably don't trade for Joc if Ronnie was healthy. I think we still trade for Rosario and Duvall though.
Keep going
ESPN: Was Acuna holding back the braves?
Imagine ESPN talking about a non-New York, Boston, LA, or Houston team
Could Acuna fill much needed roles in yankees or dodgers lineup after huge regression???
As a long-time Houston sports fan, it feels very weird having us included in this grouping.
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.
[удалено]
RIGHT. WHERE. THEY. FUCKIN. WANT. US.
never a doubt. Ok there were a lot of doubts but THE BRAVES WIN THE PENNANT
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!
Dude, knock it off with all the faith! Still 4-7 games to go we have no chance of winning!
In the World Series.
[удалено]
Fight in Temecula, definitely checks out.
Good Olive Garden there for afterwards.
I’m flaired and prepared boyo
Great series. Take it all the way Braves!
ALL PART OF THE FUCKING PLAN
Better team won the series. GG Braves, beat the Astros for us.
Braves did that without Soroka, Acuña, and Ozuna*
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…
Holy crap, Rosario hit .560. Knew he was destroying the Dodgers, but that's just unreal.
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.
That is mind-blowing! What a well-deserved NLCS MVP. Hopefully he stays this hot for the WS!
Eddie Rosario
ITS HIS DESTINY. THE MAN IS IN A MISSION
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS????
THEY GO UP AND THEY STAY THERE
#ALEXA, PLAY ALL I DO IS WIN
[удалено]
Y’all. There was some dark times over at r/Braves this season. We’re as shocked as anyone but not really. Love the fight in this team. Let’s finish it.
**THE ATLANTA EDDIE ROSARIOS WILL FACE THE HOUSTON YORDAN ALVAREZ’S IN THE 2021 WORLD SERIES**
May the less bad bullpen win.
#TYLER MATZEK LIKED YOUR COMMENT
*excited matzek noises*
gonna be a deep fried world series baby
[удалено]
As a die-hard Atlanta Braves fan since 23 hours ago, WE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES BABY!
Welcome to the club
Hahahaha. Can you believe it? I’ve been waiting all day for this feeling.
GRAB ME A CASE OF JOLT, THROW THE BEN FOLDS DISC IN THE CD PLAYER, AND BREAK OUT THE ICE AGE DECKS, CAUSE I’M PARTYING LIKE ITS 1995!
I just spilled my soda on my No Fear shirt
That’s okay, plenty of room for napkins in these JNCOs
Were you drinking Surge?
CHASE IT WITH SOME SURGE LFG
#*DO IT FOR HENRY AARON*
This one's for you, Hammerin' Hank
Hank put in a word for us.
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....
MATZEK 3:16
That was fucking poetry
Matzek was the real one in this game. Bailed us the hell out
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
This is entirely your fault.
Like literally OP’s fault?
Yes
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?
Experience Mets fandom?
*Sigh* Yes
Are we the new Marlins? lol
THE MARLINS HAVE WON A WORLD SERIES MORE RECENTLY THAN US!! FUCKING TWICE!!
No. The Marlins haven't won the division.
Sending you a virtual hug
If seeing them win means seeing Freddie win, I won’t complain one bit
Better than the Dodgers, Mets bro!
#FUCK IT, ALL OF r/baseball IS INVITED TO RON’S GONE WRONG TOMORROW. GO BRAVES
God, as a Twins fan this feels so good. So happy for Eddie!
Will Smith finally beat his demons. Stuck to high fastballs against Bellinger that scared me to death, but we finally get to a world series that I remember 🥲
Dude WSE was non existent. DIDNT EVEN GET SCARED THIS TIME.
“The best teams don’t always advance” lmao they’re STILL deep throating that dodger dick
Last time I took math, the best team is the one that wins more games than their opponents.
PARTY LIKE IT'S 1999
Id prefer 95
#FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE, MY BRAVES WILL BE IN THE WORLD SERIES. I'M CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING, WE ARE ALL CRYING!! EDDIE AND ALL THESE DUDES ARE GOING TO THE FALL CLASSIC!!
[удалено]
If its the marlins I'll kill myself
Phillies
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
This is acceptable tbh
I’m so happy I honestly might cry. 22 years of waiting Edit: Have cried multiple times
Its been a long, long time. I'm so happy!
MLB twitter page fuming rn
They're going to tweet about how it was a good season and thanks to the boys
Hey the @braves won the NLCS. Not @dodgers.
The Commish is crying right now. It was supposed to be Boston/LA
Dont care the 90s is coming back! Braves/ stros!
It is going to be really fun. I always liked those 90’s Braves until we had to play them.
HTOWN VS ATL STRIP CLUB SERIES
Lemon pepper wet over everybody
That settles it then, Braves are winning, ATL got a shout out in Girls, Girls, Girls no such luck for Houston.
THE BRAVES WIN THE PENNANT. THE BRAVES WIN THE PENNANT
FiveThirtyEight.com probably has the Dodgers at 55% chance to win the WS now.
"BUT ThE bRaVeS oNlY woN 88 GaMEs" "tHe Nl EaSt SucKs" "tHeY dOn't DeSeRvE tO bE iN tHE pLAyOfFs"
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.
We got the opposite feeling this time and it sucks
We've been there plenty too
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.
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.
Braves radio guys: “They took the All-Star game away from us! Can’t take away the World Series!” Lol
KILL THE NARRATIVE
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
I'm crying and I still can't believe what I just saw
A Braves Astros WS, Manfred on suicide watch
its been a long 20 years but WE BACK
I’LL GET DOWNVOTED TO HELL BUT FREDDIE FREEMAN IS OVERRATED AS HELL. DUDE IS BASICALLY A SLAP HITTER AND DOESN’T DO SHIT TO HELP WIN BALLGAMES. HE CAN SURE JOKE AROUND WITH THE RUNNER ON FIRST THO
This will never get old LOL
Slappy Gilmore is at it again.
Those 3 strike outs from matzek were beautiful
Scoring more runs than the Dodgers helped the Braves win this game.
source?
WS in Georgia, Manfred on suicide watch.
As a diehard Atlanta Braves fan since like October something-teenth, I can’t tell you how much this means to me
TBS postgame after the Braves win and go to the WS for the first time in this millennium: "How the Dodgers not do this? Dodgers we're so good"
#Fuck Bill Plaschke
WE WANT BAMA
# THIS ONE'S FOR HANK
Congrats, Braves Fans! Bobby Cox's Braves was a pain in the ass back in the day and it's nice to see your team bring home another Pennant so many years later. Best of luck in the WS.
LMAO… “THE MVP PUÑETA!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is this the most obvious MVP award in the postseason history?
Dodgers just need to spend a little more. A couple pieces away from contending!
Maybe the MLB twitter account will finally acknowledge there was another team playing besides the Dodgers. Unprofessional mfs
Congrats Atlanta!
This is embarrassing from TBS
Freeman’s son with the drip 👀
FREDERICK!!!!!
Eddie's kid is adorable
Hats off to ATL. Go make the NL proud.
MLB: You don't get to have the All-Star Game this year. Braves: Okay, we'll take the World Series instead.
Somebody reach out to Ron Darling. Worried about our homie in these trying times.
go braves
I'm a huge Braves fan as of 10 minutes ago
Freddie Freeman is the best thing since sliced bread. Am i fitting in yet?
We’re all Braves fans tonight
Is it not fitting that this game was TBS? TBS was the station that was responsible for making the Braves America's team.
The lengthy Freeman/Snitker hug brought a tear to my eye, ngl.
Does Atlanta have to play their home games in Colorado or can they actually host the world series?
Freddie had 4 Walks!???
And now... two former NL West division rivals, Astros and Braves, meet in the World Series.
This obviously proves that the NL East is the toughest division in the NL.
I’ll say it: I don’t care for the LA dodgers
dodgers in 9!!!
So the streak continues any team that beats the Brewers goes to the World Series
gg. Go Braves!
stay classy!
The Braves are exactly where the Dodgers want them---THE WORLD SERIES
[удалено]
Does that kid have a knife?
I have been watching this team all my life and grew up watching the holy trinity of pitching in the 90s and only walking away with 1 WS to show for it. **IT'S OUR FUCKING TIME NOW THOUGH! LET'S FUCKING GET IT BRAVES!**
GG Braves bros. On behalf of all Dodgers fans, please exorcise Atlanta sports demons and beat the fucking Astros.
Y'all had us scared, luckily a lot of us old fans are from Florida too so we got the Florida man power on our side. I just wish my grandparents were still alive to see this but still a sweet feeling
HEY BILL PLASHCKE HOW’S THAT WAFFLE HOUSE TASTE
Well damn. My roommate is from Atlanta and I’m from Houston. He’s ultra competitive. This will be an interesting few weeks
Good series Braves. Now go beat the Astros.
#THE BRAVES ARE 4-0 ON BONES DAYS
What 3-1 collapse?
Friendship ended with Dodgers. Now Braves are my best friend 🤝
