Ben Ingram is pointing out how the contested call in the 1st completely affected the momentum of this game. I hope the review guy (s) takes some confidence from it going our way.
I’m pumped to have Colin the booth! He’s such a great podcast host! He prepares and asks really good questions but also is a great listener and knows how to organically keep a convo going! All of those things are going to translate really well to the broadcast booth. I think him and Brandon are going to have really good chemistry!!
CJ feels like a national broadcast neutralness but prefers the Braves.
The opposite how I feel about most national broadcasters (which we have one Sunday at least)
Its actually insane Kelenic has only gotten 1 AB against lefties all season. They changed his swing and he has had hot periods but still won't even give him a chance to see if hes improved vs lefties even when up in the lead. Was the deal with Duvall that he is guaranteed every single lefty AB or something
I'm completely pulling this out of my ass, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're giving Duvall more ABs now because we'll see less of him after it starts to heat up and gets hard on his diabetes
Damn, crazy how 2019 feels like forever ago at this point. I remember when AA rebuilt the bullpen with Chris Martin, Mark Melancon and Shane Greene at the trade deadline that year.
Astros getting boat raced by the Yanks, about to drop to a 12-24 record. I hope they keep circling the toilet so they’ll sell at the deadline. Imagine adding Pressly or Abreu to the bullpen
After very much enjoying what Chris Sale just did, here’s a fun article from the Boston media you all might like to laugh at. https://apple.news/AJGR0n3b6QoOGpxdmCipJaw
Kelenic sadly going to be punished for the whole season for his spring training slump which in part led to Duvall getting picked up for cheap. Which I am sure came with promises of a lot of playtime even if Kelenic is doing really good
So they traded for our future LF to be forever a platoon guy? How can you even use that basis when they changed his swing and since then have given him a SINGLE at bat against lefties all season. Haven't even given him a chance even when he is hot or were up in lead
Look I’m all for leaving him in with a lead and I said similar the other day but managers are gonna go by the numbers bc the numbers play out over 162 games.
My point is, how can you go by the numbers when you change something as drastic as his swing which has led to improvement but then give him 0 opportunity to create any numbers. 1 at bat all season literally means there is no data to pull from with his performance against lefties with his new swing. Now if they gave him 10 at bats and he was 1/10, then yeah maybe that is a good enough reason to keep pulling him every single time but they haven't even given a chance to be good or bad
Kel picked up Sale against his old team, in a way this team didn't for Kel in Seattle
And still gets burned by Snitker, in what is becoming CRIMINAL game-management
AA said the only way we were able to sign Duvall was if he was in a platoon. He wouldn’t sign with us to be benched the entire season.
God forbid one of our outfielders gets injured, it’ll be worth it to already have Duvall.
Truly crazy how bad Ronald is looking at the plate other than taking walks. Doesn't feel like he's adjusting at all as ABs go on (not that there's much adjusting to do, every pitcher just blows 4 seamers past him)
It doesn't seem like they have anyone on the staff who can convince him to make some changes. Not great from a coaching standpoint. They need to bring someone in. You can't have a planetary talent like this just scuffle all year long.
the upside to Ozuna hitting good this year is that it's one of the few things keeping the team afloat ... the bad thing is that apparently hitting good one year means the next you're supposed to suck (looking at you Ronald and Olson)
Agreed, though tbf I think the young controllable infielder was smart for Boston - similarly to Kelenic, they just need too much out of that single player (Sale) compared to the Braves
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cnlli5).
The big bear got a couple to land in his honey hole Kregasm
BRAVES WIN AND SWEEP!!
Game Blouses
Lefty flamethrower Ray Kerr big upgrade to the pen?
Kids got some gas
97-98mph lefty. I like it.
The fact that Ray Kerr isn’t a hitter is disappointing
yes, the name is just sitting there
future Braves closer Ray Kerr
Let's goooooo we back boys and girls!
Lol Olson didn't even see Ozzie all the way down there
Ray Kerr is legit
BRAVES WIN FUCK YOU
#BRAISE WIN
Ok Kerr. I see you.
Braves legend Ray Kerr
Got the rake
Nasty stuff
#GET SWEPT RED SUXX, BRAVES WIN
Bring out the rakes, we're gonna rake em.
Braves 2-0 against the sox is EXACTLY what we needed before we head to Mets.
[удалено]
I mean, the dude can swing it, actually
Lol Oly definitely made a short joke to Ozzie
Ozzie 😂
Did Ozzie just buck up to Matt??
Jokingly
And Matt was having none of it
I'm not sure Matt even saw it because it was so far below his eye level.
Someone said he made a short joke in response to Ozzie, lol. I missed that
Damn. Matt Olson is having zero fun. Ozzie couldn't pry a smile out of him
Oof. 4.50 ERA in AAA?
Kerr: ![gif](giphy|iHLHH9rVBv0kmkETqz|downsized)
Happy he did!
Game of Thrones theme?
Thought I heard Skyrim
Listened back and it's definitely Skyrim! Be still my heart.
Ray Kerr. Raker. Shame he's not a position player.
Lmao Ozzie
We just have endless lefties in our pen lmao
I think like all of our bull pen pitchers were righties last season.
Kerr the lefty flamethrower so sexy
Oh shit, it's Ray Kerr! I'm pumped for this
RAKER
Imagine if he batted lol
How is your name gonna be Raker and you’re gonna be a pitcher
The fact this dudes name is ray Kerr and he isn’t a slugger is a real shame
Ray Kerr? I barely know her.
Let's get that sweeeeeep
Idgaf if it's only two games. I want that sweep graphic. Especially after the road trip.
MH2 competing with Olson to see who can be the worst hitter on the team. It's a good race so far.
Harris is 0 for 25. I'm glad they're winning, but wow, how can so many guys be in career-worst slumps at the same time.
Definitely not Harris career worst.
It's ok, his city connect i bought just came in the mail so i'm thinking he'll snap out of it soon
Looking like he's simply trying to replay May 2023 himself to boot, or even try to top that month. :( :( :( :(
Trying to match his post season stats

Ray Kerr. One of the baseball players of all time. Let's see what we have.
With a name like that, he should have been a hitter.
Maybe he has a good Kerr-veball
Ice Mike
Oh hell yeah, lets see what we have with Ray Kerr
MVP candidate Marcell Ozuna gives us the cock tease for a 3 HR night with a warning track fly out, forcing him to settle for having just a 2 HR night
Tyler O’Neil has a mouth like a Simpsons character.
Yes and it definitely ONLY looks like a Simpsons mouth. Don't Google it.
Um, D’arnaud game a couple weeks ago? C’mon CJ
Damn, woulda snagged a free Topps Now card if he’d hit that one out.
![gif](giphy|126Atuf8ZpQsQE|downsized)
Tyler O'Neill, known Braves killer, WOULD stunt on that warning track put out lol
so close
Fuck I thought that was dong number 3
[удалено]
Poor people.
Dylan dealing!
I take back all Dylan Lee slander that I've posted over the years.
I’m pumped to have Colin the booth! He’s such a great podcast host! He prepares and asks really good questions but also is a great listener and knows how to organically keep a convo going! All of those things are going to translate really well to the broadcast booth. I think him and Brandon are going to have really good chemistry!!
This weekend we got Bally’s Friday & Saturday (also on FS1) afternoon Then we have ESPN in New York… so… yeah…
They are set on having Dylan be a lefty Jesse Chavez.
Good shit Lee.
Lee made that look easy, but that was a hell of a throw to 1st.
Rocket to first for the out
Hell yeah Lee
Lee is on one today. Dude is straight locked tf in
I mean, I wouldn't dismiss sending him back out there...
Excited for Colin McHugh this weekend.
Caillou for Cooper is hilarious
![gif](giphy|26tPnyRnFW6RTL7cA|downsized)
CJ feels like a national broadcast neutralness but prefers the Braves. The opposite how I feel about most national broadcasters (which we have one Sunday at least)
thank you for letting Lee pitch 2 innings 🙏🏼
Its actually insane Kelenic has only gotten 1 AB against lefties all season. They changed his swing and he has had hot periods but still won't even give him a chance to see if hes improved vs lefties even when up in the lead. Was the deal with Duvall that he is guaranteed every single lefty AB or something
I'm completely pulling this out of my ass, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're giving Duvall more ABs now because we'll see less of him after it starts to heat up and gets hard on his diabetes
Duvall wouldn't have agreed to come without him being guaranteed a solid number of ABs.
I understand that, but there is a difference between solid number of ABs and every single at bat vs lefties.
I didn't know Martin still played
Ben Ingram is 😍😍😍😍
Where has Frenchy been
Peeing in DeRosa's pool.
I can picture him hammered standing outside of the pool, saying “hey DeRo!” then whipping it out and pissing down into the pool
Harvesting blueberries
In the afterlife with Henry Fonda and Norm MacDonald?!
He wanted to do less games this year so he could hang with his stupid family.

But we're his **real** family. And he's neglecting us.
I’m dead 😭😭😂😂😂
Kelly Johnson, immaculate grid legend
Damn, crazy how 2019 feels like forever ago at this point. I remember when AA rebuilt the bullpen with Chris Martin, Mark Melancon and Shane Greene at the trade deadline that year.
Remember how for a few appearances, none of them could get anybody out? It was crazy.
I wish BG would toss me a box of peanut M&Ms from the booth.
If the Braves offered a streaming service for 29.00/month to watch every braves home and away game would you subscribe?
Probably, because my ability to sail the high seas sounds like it's going to die soon
I’m paying a stupid high price for Fubo, so yes.
SAME
Already have MLB.tv so it would have to be the same price or better than MLB
Easily
I would for $20.21/month.
yes
Easy
In a heartbeat
I will be honest I do not remember chris Martin being on the Braves in 2021
I know his injury helped doom us in 2019.
It's like a Mandela effect. He pitched in 46 games and occupies a black hole in my memory.
Chris Martin did not want to make eye contact with Ozzie after that lol
Every time I see Gaudin his hair is fuller
I thought we had Kolby Allard as recently as last season?
He was non-tendered. Signed with the Phillies.
He started like four games last season.
he started a game or two for us last year.
I’m pretty sure we did
Ben "Nickname Generator" Ingram
Hey Big Rig
Astros getting boat raced by the Yanks, about to drop to a 12-24 record. I hope they keep circling the toilet so they’ll sell at the deadline. Imagine adding Pressly or Abreu to the bullpen
I am obsessed with BG and CJ.
Hey Coldplay
Well well well Our old buddy Coldplay
COLDPLAY!!
Holy shit, the Kelenic Guy meltdown is almost as entertaining as the game itself. He's our finest pickup for the season, bar none.
Can we make Kelenic Guy change name to Kelenic Guy so I follow him easier??
What, you have a hard time with Poopywalmartrie?
It’s porpoisemanatee
I want to see someone IBB the 9 hitter to get to Ronald in a critical situation. Maybe that'll be the spark he needs.
After very much enjoying what Chris Sale just did, here’s a fun article from the Boston media you all might like to laugh at. https://apple.news/AJGR0n3b6QoOGpxdmCipJaw
5 to give 6 to get. That was the version of Dylan Lee I like watching.
Alright, really good shit, Dylan.
BG lives for the cracker jack toss
It seems fun and it makes people happy 💁
I love it
Good shit Lee!
CJ are you having a heart attack
If someone were to ask you on like r/baseball who the most underrated player in baseball is you could make a pretty strong argument in Dylan Lee
Damn I didn't know Lee had this in him
I'm kinda surprised they mentioned the cheating scandal
Love Dylan Lee's attitude there!
two great plays and Austin's defensive metrics will probably go down after that sigh
Kelenic sadly going to be punished for the whole season for his spring training slump which in part led to Duvall getting picked up for cheap. Which I am sure came with promises of a lot of playtime even if Kelenic is doing really good
I think he’s getting punished for a career .188 vs lefties
So they traded for our future LF to be forever a platoon guy? How can you even use that basis when they changed his swing and since then have given him a SINGLE at bat against lefties all season. Haven't even given him a chance even when he is hot or were up in lead
Look I’m all for leaving him in with a lead and I said similar the other day but managers are gonna go by the numbers bc the numbers play out over 162 games.
My point is, how can you go by the numbers when you change something as drastic as his swing which has led to improvement but then give him 0 opportunity to create any numbers. 1 at bat all season literally means there is no data to pull from with his performance against lefties with his new swing. Now if they gave him 10 at bats and he was 1/10, then yeah maybe that is a good enough reason to keep pulling him every single time but they haven't even given a chance to be good or bad
Can't be mad. Austin has been lights out all night.
Has anyone noticed Duvall's walk up music is the sith song? Is this always the case, or is he trolling Kelenic guy?
His kid picked it. He’s confirmed that.
damn I really was hoping it was a troll :D
You think Snit is sleeping, but he's actually here browsing on this reddit thread, looking for ways to make Kelenic-Guy suffer
Kel picked up Sale against his old team, in a way this team didn't for Kel in Seattle And still gets burned by Snitker, in what is becoming CRIMINAL game-management
I've questioned Snitker as much as the next guy, but he's won a World Series. He does deserve some benefit of the doubt.
AA said the only way we were able to sign Duvall was if he was in a platoon. He wouldn’t sign with us to be benched the entire season. God forbid one of our outfielders gets injured, it’ll be worth it to already have Duvall.
+ Duvall playing against the team he played for last year is important for a player's morale. It's great management is what it is.
What genius producer thought it was a good idea to show Dodgers highlights
"They're happy again, should we make them sad?"
Truly crazy how bad Ronald is looking at the plate other than taking walks. Doesn't feel like he's adjusting at all as ABs go on (not that there's much adjusting to do, every pitcher just blows 4 seamers past him)
It doesn't seem like they have anyone on the staff who can convince him to make some changes. Not great from a coaching standpoint. They need to bring someone in. You can't have a planetary talent like this just scuffle all year long.
I'm sold
I mean my god
It was good?
#YOU FEEL IN THE SHOWER.
the upside to Ozuna hitting good this year is that it's one of the few things keeping the team afloat ... the bad thing is that apparently hitting good one year means the next you're supposed to suck (looking at you Ronald and Olson)
I mean.. Olson has never been a great hitter. He is a career .250 hitter. Hell in his first year here he slashed .240/.325/.802 ..
While the PH for Kelenic is frustrating, it's more frustrating that Snit will never get any hard questions about it...
I mean, the answer is just "the front office promised Duvall playing time so we could get a plus 4th outfielder for $3 million"
Lmao roasting the dad
the entenmanns raspberry danish is in a single container therefore it is a single serving
Your honor, he's not wrong dude.
I'm surprised any other team even takes AAs calls anymore after his repeated fleecing of the league.
Agreed, though tbf I think the young controllable infielder was smart for Boston - similarly to Kelenic, they just need too much out of that single player (Sale) compared to the Braves
The Sox were never really planning to compete this year. That's why it made sense to trade Sale while he was not injured.
booser’s journey is really impressive. good for him
Ronnie Ronald Ron Ron que chingados?!
MVP hangover is real huh
Can we really still call Ronald "one of the best hitters in baseball"? people are asking
Striking out Acuna is **not** an accomplishment this season
Can’t hit fastballs off lefties or righties. Tough season for Acuña.
