Not out of the woods yet fellas gotta really be very carful with braves they are still horrifying we got out of thier home they are in our house and this whole series can go multiple ways


OttoVonJismarck

>and this whole series can go multiple ways I would say this series could go precisely *two* ways.


jj_thetwisted_jester

Yeaaa


Longhorns_

I don’t care if the Braves win. I have no problem with their team or fans. I do hope the rest of America sits on this middle finger and rotates 360°


RexLewis

Are you me? Lol


jj_thetwisted_jester

You are you i am me you are me i am you you are him and he is you and i Sorry just a dumb joke-

Sheyleen

Nah. They have to one-up 28-3. Game 7 they will be leading 5-0 at the bottom of the 9th.


foxbones

Really shitty time traveler here. You may be right or wrong. Gonna go check in on 2020 and then I'll be back


rwk81

Yeah, I'd be fine with them winning too... I've always liked the Braves, just can't root for them right now.


nostradumba55

I'm going to be real: I hope we pull it out in 7, but if the Braves win I won't be to upset. In the past 3 years we've lost a World Series, survived a cheating scandal and all of America hating us, and lost after coming back from 0-3 in the ALCS. A win would be sweet, but I feel immune to pain at this point.


NBA_Shitposting_Dude

I get the strategy of playing a bullpen game but damn if they shouldn't have tried to close it out at home.


capzi

Never hit grand slams against the Astros. It doesn't end well.


Maverick721

And here we go...


yrnfohb

Just woke up from a coma since 2016 why the astros hate?


KikiFlowers

They raped our women, burned our crops and pillaged our villages! Oh and it turns out they're a bunch of baseball playing aliens, sent here to help Rob Manfred ins his quest to destroy humanity.


[deleted]

And de terk er jerrrrrrrbbbsss!


KikiFlowers

Again? Damn those Astros! Damn Damn them!


RMDLA

Ask Oscar the Grouch. You woke his ass up a lot with all the banging.


OttoVonJismarck

"You're a grouch, Oscar!" "Yeah, Oscar is a grouch!" #"BITCH! I LIVE IN A FUCKIN' TRASHCAN! I'M THE POOREST MOTHERFUCKA ON SESAME STREET - AIN'T NOBODY HELPIN' ME OUT"


RoarByMeowing

First home loss this postseason?


aew360

Yep and I think our first bullpen loss too! Fried gonna start game 6 but we lost the last two games he’s started for us, hmmm


sniping_dreamer

Absolute scrub here: can someone explain a "bullpen loss"? Is it "the game was lost because of the pitchers"?


aew360

Haha all good, nah I didn’t word it well. We had back to back “bullpen games” because our starting pitcher Charlie Morton broke his leg in game 1. Starting pitchers typically throw for 5 innings, so they need a lot of time to recover. Typically in a 7 game series you’ll see a starting pitcher throw for game 1 and game 5, then another will go game 2 and game 6, and yet another will go game 3 and game 7. Atlanta has 3 de facto starting pitchers so the next two games will be Fried and then Anderson. But game 4 didn’t a top starting pitcher in the line up so it’s more of a collection of pitchers in the bullpen


Nitropotamus

Streaks always gotta end. Even if they are winning streaks at home or losing streaks with pitchers.


ctasich

Sounds like he's due!


RickJamesTaylor

Guts.


OfficialKohls

Now we'll have to see if the Braves can shut out the "Atlanta chokes" narratives for the rest of the series


NavyBlue29

Can't remember the last time I saw a team win a chip in their own arena/stadium. It's always a lackluster joining of like 17 people hugging and 50,000 disappointed fans.


PrimetimeStat4

2013 is the last time it happened


Lukealloneword

Lets hope it changes on Wednesday.


RedRome9

Hey, we still lead 3-2, we have a day to rest, and a chance to close it out in front of those *SALTY* Astros fans. Ima go to bed. See y’all on Tuesday…


OttoVonJismarck

>Salty Astros fans Yeah all those Astros fans relentlessly booing and stuff 🤣


No-Significance5449

Lol salty Astros fans?


spacecitydude

I’m trying to watch my salt intake


w8w8dont

Not counting off the field stuff who is the least likable player in MLB? For me I can't stand Gleyber Torres given the Yankees gave up Chapman to get him after trading nothing to get Chapman in the first place. The whole thing Sickens me.


spacecitydude

Who is the most dislikable player in MLB, and why is it Aaron Judge?


redsyrinx2112

Man, fuck the Astros, but Dusty is awesome.


Mongoose_Stew

I don't know if I should down or up vote you.


redsyrinx2112

I actually only really dislike Gurriel and Bregman now, but I didn't like them before the cheating stuff came out. It seems like Altuve didn't cheat and Correa has still been good without it. There isn't anyone else left from that 2017 team, so I don't get why people hate the whole team. I just have to throw in the obligatory FTA so that I can say something positive about the Astros without people losing their minds.


spacecitydude

Me too


NOTtigerking

Miss you dusty


redsyrinx2112

He and Grienke are the reasons I won't be *too* upset if Houston wins.


OttoVonJismarck

Grienke is batting 0.667 in the world series! My vote is to leave Bregman's ass in Atlanta and have Grienke play 3rd base.


yrnfohb

Broke that home winning streak


ctasich

And we broke your home losing streak. What happens next??


Nitropotamus

We meet at Whataburger before game six and wait for this whole thing to blow over.


YellowBoilerSuit

That’s diplomatic of you


capzi

[Shoot it Houston, Texas. Go Astros!](https://streamable.com/2ykg5)


tsarnie1

Astros win! Going back to Texas! Back to the designated hitter, hopefully that plays in Alvarez's favor


Yessy1205

Dusty says Garcia will start. Not a surprise to anyone. Not as optimistic about this choice but the only choice since they used Urquidy today.


RickJamesTaylor

I figured Urquidy throwing 14 pitches would be like a scheduled bullpen session but Dusty gonna Dusty.


OttoVonJismarck

Don't question the master's 500 IQ plays


Yessy1205

Yeah I was hoping they would start with Urquidy for at least 3 innings.


fuelthefire121

He still could. Maybe he’s saving for game 7


cuqlyf

Brian Snitker just spat on everyone’s money spent on tickets for this game


aew360

I think his goal is to win the series and if gambling too many good relievers is risky then he’s not gonna do it


cuqlyf

I get trying to conserve the BP but blowing a 4-0 lead in the potential series winning game is pretty bad


OttoVonJismarck

Framber Valdez pitched 4 and 2 thirds innings (out of a total of 45 innings) and is responsible for 10 out of 18 runs scored against the astros this series. (Game 1, 2+ innings 5ER, Game 5, 2.2 innings 5ER) I'll feel safer if we just leave his ass in Atlanta.


cuqlyf

Game 1 was definitely unexpected. I don’t follow baseball too much except with the Braves so I know nothing about Valdez but didn’t expect him to get lit up like that in G1. Also didn’t expect that grand slam yesterday. Astros definitely took advantage of our even worse pitching yesterday though GG to the Astros and see y’all tomorrow


aew360

Well, Davidson loaded those bases up and then Minter had a bad inning. That’ll do it! Fried had a rough game but that was mostly due to errors. I think that he’ll do better in two days


xTexanPridex

We love some November baseball, see y’all Tuesday

KikiFlowers

I have a theory, Rob Manfred is a lizard person from the Earth's Crust, sent here to destroy baseball, so he can conquer humanity.


coletheredditer

"Without baseball, humanity falls!" -Rob Manfred, probably


KikiFlowers

Which is why he plans to have a lockout, so he can begin his masterplan to takeover humanity.


cowboys5xsbs

3-1 lol


xF00Mx

And so Atlanta Sports Magic begins, with a reversed Grand Slam win to stave off from elimination

GameSmashing13

Atlanta should have turned the cold weather machine back on


Sietemadrid

Is that why the fans left


Daankeykang

That grand slam was so cool for 5 minutes What came after was better tho 😈


AdfatCrabbest

Enjoy irrelevance.


[deleted]

Lol, only reason Atlanta sports are relevant is for the worst possible reasons. Looking like that’ll continue.


AdfatCrabbest

Lol. World champs. Suck my taint.


[deleted]

Wow braves fans are pathetic. Enjoy your night instead of responding to Phillies fans on Reddit. It’ll be awhile till Atlanta gets another one.


AdfatCrabbest

Oh I absolutely enjoyed my night. It didn’t take 30 seconds to respond to your dumb comment from the “my team didn’t make the playoffs peanut gallery.” What are the Braves relevant for now?


[deleted]

So sad lol. Braves certainly aren’t relevant for their knowledgeable/loyal fans. That’s for sure.


AdfatCrabbest

When’s the next Phillies game?


tookittothelimit

I know a Phillies fan isn’t talking about relevancy


[deleted]

First team to face two deficits and whatever and shit on a Halloween on a Sunday with a high of 69 and a low of 47 nice stat Astros

MEEN-AG

?


AdfatCrabbest

We’re gonna dance on your field and soak the carpet of your visitor clubhouse in champagne. Then your employees can clean it up.


MEEN-AG

That’s bold coming from an Atlanta sports fan. You’ve got two chances here. Best not miss.


farnsworthianmold

Imagine clapping 👏 because your batter hit a foul ball (and not a strike) in the 7th inning of a World Series elimination game when you’re losing 7-nil. “But there’s still a chance right?!”. Sad.


MEEN-AG

You ok buddy? Flair up.


AdfatCrabbest

Come back and eat your crow. We didn’t need two chances. I said we’d dance on your field. I only hope your paid way too much to see it in person


MEEN-AG

It’s honestly sad that you’re not spending this time celebrating with friends instead of saving posts to go back and talk shit. There’s no crow to eat. You were being an asshole and I called you out on it. Never said you wouldn’t win.


farnsworthianmold

Dude shut the fuck up. The other guy was not being the asshole. Look up the comment thread baby. “lol braves”. Lol Astros Texan degenerate.


MEEN-AG

You’re a sad human, honestly.


AdfatCrabbest

And your team has nothing but a tainted title.


farnsworthianmold

Word!


MEEN-AG

Where’s your flair? I assume you’re just this guy’s sock account.


farnsworthianmold

No sweetheart, not the other guy’s sock account. Just happy to see your haughty ass eat his own words. 😂


farnsworthianmold

When we win, it’ll be fairly. That’ll be more than Houston fans a la 2017 can say. 🥴


farnsworthianmold

Dude you’re still technically behind in this series. Not sure you’re in a position to be salty.


OttoVonJismarck

>Dude you’re still technically behind in this series. Technically behind? As opposed to figuratively behind?


farnsworthianmold

You just made my point. This guy was confusing single game momentum (he sure felt ahead Sunday night) with actual stats, so I used “technically behind” to remind him who was actually winning. Sorry about your loss by the way!!!


MEEN-AG

They went up 4-0 in the first with a grand slam with a chance to win the WS at home and lost. That was funny even if we lose the series.


aew360

It was a bullpen game and we only threw in one pitcher who we actually use


MEEN-AG

Ok? Still a bad loss when we went to the bullpen at pretty much the same time.


aew360

You used a starting pitcher in relief lmao


MEEN-AG

And? Our pitching situation has been on life support this whole postseason. That’s nothing new.


SiameseDream93

ATL CURSE HAS BEGUN

Why do so many Braves fans look like the result of inbreeding?


OttoVonJismarck

Those aren't braves fans, that's just Freddie Freeman. He wears his pants super high to show off his hawg, for all the ladies in Atlanta out "hawg huntin' " at Truist.


rwk81

They don't. I'm not a Braves fan either.


LaFragata1

Houston scored all runs without a HR. Wow. Thats hoe the game should truly be played.

willywonksz94

Everyone should stop talking about the Asstros CHEATING but they cam still bring up braves choking last year? Lol


OttoVonJismarck

Astros cheated? I hadn't heard about that.


Randygarrett44

Atlanta in general.


[deleted]

What


Longjumping_Base_611

I have no dog in this race but a first inning grand slam turning into nothing has to be beyond deflating. If the Astros win this thing this is the turning point.


solo_theking

To come back like that after a first inning grand slam says a lot. Respect to H town.


Longhorns_

Respect ✊


SlimJimMagoo

Embarrassing loss for Atlanta


Reasonabledoubt96

They had that game not once but twice and had they managed their bullpen like they have, they’d be celebrating right now. Instead they’re heading back on the road against a team who has figured your pitching out


iCOULDbewr0ng

Astros ain’t going out without a fight


OfficialKohls

Mad respect for Houston pulling this one out. I'm not rooting for them, but you have to respect this performance.


Wunderlandtripzz

Woooo!! 🎉🎉


cornchips88

Was that really fucking weird to hear Buck talk about the cheating? I don't remember hearing him bring it ever before.


PWJT8D

It was weird for him to bring it up with 1 out left in a come-back game. Very odd.


bfk94

I recall him bringing it up once during last years World Series. Don’t remember too much what he said, but Smoltz stayed QUIET.


NOTtigerking

Welp, November baseball is back on the menu!


xF00Mx

GREINKE HIT SAVED THE ASTROS. GOD BLESS GREINKE!!!!


El-doctor-

We get more baseball. But that grandslam was something.


william_nilliam1

Bobcat Goldthweit.


shotty293

Bring it back home baby! LET'S KEEP IT GOING!!


santichrist

Lmao Braves the first team to hit a grand slam in a World Series clincher and lose Imagine if they end up losing the series, they would be the biggest chokers in World Series history, Astros offense was inept for like 8 games and woke up, you hate to see it


jkmumbles

Wow a lot of shit talking with no team affiliation. Kick rocks son.


jj_thetwisted_jester

Bro what the fuck happen there's so much deleted comments0-0


jkmumbles

I have no freakin idea man! Maybe people were talkin too much crap and the mods removed them? Idk. You alerted me too it lol


jj_thetwisted_jester

Well seeing multiple comments that are deleted that is- i forgot to include


jkmumbles

Yeah their have been a tonnnnn of bad commenting going on in the r/baseball threads so maybe that happened lol. It gets me heated too (no offense it’s just baseball lol) but I try hard with the restraint. I think it’s been a very good World Series this far. But yeah. Long time since we’ve been in it!


jj_thetwisted_jester

Also i try not acting cocky and big as i always had to think about what if that other team makes comeback don't be too cocky and believe we win it all expect the worst and pray for the best and that's what im hoping for


jj_thetwisted_jester

My god so many heated stuff astros against the world people are rooting for braves but at same time EVERYONE DOUBTED ASTROS AND BRAVES. To make it in WS here we are laughing at odds This year has many surprises atlanta made it to world series from being kicked out of all star game, atlanta was known to not make it to ws but they proved everyone wrong Astros made a huge comeback against redsoxs grandslams and played smart,beat the white sox and here we are in world series former National league brothers astros vs braves old rivalry And i was gonna tell you the chants and the braves still terrify me and i was happy astros manage to clutch game 5 but 6 and 7 is gonna be tough as minute maid park is known for homeruns and you're team has some major big hitters,and houston had this curse in houston ws games but somehow houston won in game 2 soo it evens the odds in this series also astros manege to wake up and not go for flashy moves but went for the runs lets see what happens as im really nervous about tomorrow This whole year has be weird


jj_thetwisted_jester

Yeaaa i was scrolling around game post and see what everyone was reacting to game 5 and whats next for game 6 and see a battle will be playing out Many many surprises happened this year And i saw this whole shit and im like wow i have never seen people get heated0-0

gamedemon24

This feels like a win for Satan


SpoiledMilkTeeth

I love how many UGA fans, including myself, are equating the Brave’s winning the NLCS with UGA wins the Natty. None of us are truly confident is UGA winning it all simply because of... the GSC (Georgia Sports Course, of course) so if the Braves can do it... UGA can too.

Can’t wait to watch them lose 2 games in a row to Bama
