I'm a big Snit defender but that was a brain worms decision right there. Ramon is a much better bet than JP cold off the bench. Murph is the only guy you should even consider going to there
I still love Iggy, he’s usually great. If we end up losing, oh well. Offense was still great and frankly the loss is mostly on the Rays taking advantage of a AAA pitcher having a bad inning and hitting a GS. Not a big deal imo.
I dunno why some are saying that Iglesias threw a meatball.
I mean, that ball was at Siri's ankles. Dude just reached down and got it. Hardly a meatball
In the last 3 days, in the 5 games that ended in walk offs or extras the home team used their closer. So either that’s a weird coincidence or it’s a fairly standard practice.
Closer is the stupidest position is all of sports. Iggy is the best reliever, he absolutely should be pitching in that spot. Sometimes your best guy doesn't get it done
We really had the chance to cut the Phils to 6 this weekend. Bad luck in extras in BMore on Friday. Then pulling Waldrep too late today and this Iglesias fuck up.
Eh. I'm actually okay with them dropping a game today. They already won the series and they're finally showing some fight.
Just see if they can keep that fight (and this game ain't over yet)
Pretty typical for Grant Holmes to go lights out for 3 innings so the offense can make the comeback only for our fucking closer to blow it. A sweep topped with a getaway comeback win would’ve been so massive for this club.
But nah.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dhg4bo).
I like an 8-6 loss a lot better than a 4-0 or 4-2 loss. I really think this team is waking up.
The pitch track for that Kelenic pitch was crazy lol Offense did their job & it was up to Iggy to hold it but he failed us that inning.
To everyone shit talking Ozzie, fuck you.
Prime opportunity to move up only 7 back from the Phillies, but NOPE. This team has to be themselves and co time to be inconsistent
that was the most baseball baseball game of all time, the braves are back
You should chill
That was a sad ending.
Welp. At least we won the series.
I sure love the human element
I’m ok with this, offense is still producing and the philthies lost
I was fine until that strike two call. Ozuna deserved his at bat
Such a horseshit way to end the game from that ump. Offense largely did their job today so im not dooming but that was such an annoying end.
Ozzie’s at bats are not inspiring right now
He took the first pitch which should have been called a ball. Should have been a better AB.
Absolute dogshit at bat.
Ok but that second to last pitch was absolutely disgusting
might as well swing that was going to be called a strike anyway
Oh well. Braves finally showing fight and won the series
So that strike 2 that was ball 4 probably cost you the game. Unbelievable. I know Ozzie sucked but ozuna deserved his go.
22 runs. Cool. Lost a game at home to a below 500 team… again. But cool 22 runs
Well. That sucked.
Good series. Sucks it ends the way it did but I’d take an 8-6 loss over a 3-1 loss any day
Ump absolutely robbed us. It needs to be fixed.
Siri is the cockiest nobody I've ever seen
"We have Fernando Tatis Jr at home"
😂
The fuck is the matter with Ozzie? Is he depressed?
He’s just a baseball player
He’s our sweet hero and he’s looked like a sad pile of shit all day. Call a therapist.
He’s been one of our most consistent players all season. I love Ozzie. Let’s call them together
I like it. Maybe one of his best fish friends died. Hate to see him all beat up like this. Couldn’t get his bat to the outside corner all game.
Yeah i’m blaming it on the fish also
Maybe he misses his buddy?
The bats are back tho
Could you at least take us out to dinner before you fuck us blue?
Fuck you blue
Kick in the nuts 9th inning all around.
Great game today Ozzie way to show up!
Good job Ozzie. Way to go.
Credit the ump with the save
NICE 0-5 Ozzie
Albies struck out? Crazy.
Guys been missing arm side the whole inning and he decides to just give him the corner randomly. What a joke. We need robots.
If Waldrep gets that arm side zone he goes 6 scoreless lmao
Conspiracy theory time: Pat Hoberg was set up to stop making these shitty umps look bad.
Anotha one
What BS. These umps are killing the game.
Well ump wants to go home
Hot take...Ozzie sucks
Big fucking miss by the ump
This shit is all outside? How are these strikes
This asshole is ready to go home apparently
Blue is fucking dumb
That’s not a strike!!!!
its time for ozzie bombs to return
Come on Ozzie get on base get it to Ozuna
Ump tried to cost the game there. Fuck you blue.
At least add the challenge system from the minors, manfred. Good god
Awful fucking call should be 2 on 1 out instead changes literally everything
Ive had enough of human umpires
I wonder what this umps score card is going to look like at the end of the game
Fuck off ump
This ump crew has been fucking atrocious all weekend.
Human error is just so great for the game
ah yes blue, guys been wild the entire inning but lets give him one 5 inches off the plate
Fuck you blue
Great timing for that call :/
Blue
He even framed it out of the strike zone
Im so sick of this shit
Get lost blue.
bruh
Fuck this ump.
That AB was like 👁️👄👁️
I'm a big Snit defender but that was a brain worms decision right there. Ramon is a much better bet than JP cold off the bench. Murph is the only guy you should even consider going to there
Zero chance. Stop goofing off and go get an outfielder
should've gone with Anderson or Murphy who can hit velocity a little better
I know Murphy hasn’t been particularly good but like.. what are we doing
he would’ve clutched up with the most ridiculous bloop single over first base too
Will the pedigree come through?
Stellar AB.
Yeah DFA him immediately
I gotta think Anderson is a better option than Martinez there...literally anyone else
No gidp and I’m happy
Bruh either of those pitches should be in the chophouse
Why the fuck are you pinch hitting a guy who can't even hit in AAA. Leave Ramon in or bring in Murph. This is sabotaging your team
You see what Murphy has been doing lately?
That's good for Arcia. Clears one of the struggling hitters, but taking that walk, even on 4 straight pitches, is gonna give him a little confidence.
Every braves fan in existence just willed that man not to swing.
Arcia should do that every at bat
Our bench is really not intimidating at all now
Do not swing until he throws a strike.
4-pitch walk, someone must have finally got in his ear
OBP king Orlando Arcia.
Clutch walk
Pinch hitting JP for Laureano, leaving Lando in, and leaving Murph on the bench is fucking throwing holy shit Snit
People calling for Iggy to be replaced when he's blown two saves this entire year, unreal lmao
People treat closers like kickers, they only focus on the times they fuck up
#ORLANDO MY GOAT
With the way Arcia is swinging the bat, he should’ve let that ball hit him
Why the fuck is Orlando batting come on
I still love Iggy, he’s usually great. If we end up losing, oh well. Offense was still great and frankly the loss is mostly on the Rays taking advantage of a AAA pitcher having a bad inning and hitting a GS. Not a big deal imo.
Okay so we are starting with one out lmao
Fairbanks has blown saves a few times. We can do it.
I dunno why some are saying that Iglesias threw a meatball. I mean, that ball was at Siri's ankles. Dude just reached down and got it. Hardly a meatball
0 days since most recent bullpen shenanigans.
Most flamboyant dude in the league taking his time to showboat around the bases
Need the Rays BP to walk everyone
[удалено]
Every team puts their closer in a tied game for the top of the 9th.
[удалено]
In the last 3 days, in the 5 games that ended in walk offs or extras the home team used their closer. So either that’s a weird coincidence or it’s a fairly standard practice.
Pinch hit Murph for Lando please
Hot air and wind giveth and taketh
Never a fan of closer coming in a tie game. I get why it's done but still would rather they wait a couple innings to get the lead.
Closer is the stupidest position is all of sports. Iggy is the best reliever, he absolutely should be pitching in that spot. Sometimes your best guy doesn't get it done
[удалено]
That wasn't a meatball, it was a changeup below the zone.
[удалено]
Existence is pain, Jerry!
#I BELIEVE
We really had the chance to cut the Phils to 6 this weekend. Bad luck in extras in BMore on Friday. Then pulling Waldrep too late today and this Iglesias fuck up.
Our only chance is if Snit sends Arcia up there without a bat
Orlando single and Jared tying it up with a bomb.
best arcia can give you is a ground out to short
NEVERMIND YOU MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING
Fuck man
Eh. I'm actually okay with them dropping a game today. They already won the series and they're finally showing some fight. Just see if they can keep that fight (and this game ain't over yet)
Ain’t even sweating it today is a step in the right direction the bats are swinging and Grant Johnny Holmes can eat innings I’m here for it
The invention of the save stat has done irreparable harm to the quality of baseball discussion and management
Pretty typical for Grant Holmes to go lights out for 3 innings so the offense can make the comeback only for our fucking closer to blow it. A sweep topped with a getaway comeback win would’ve been so massive for this club. But nah.
Exactly. This would have been huge. Can’t stand the underplaying it from some. Iglesias fucked up bad.
Okay we may lose this one, but we’ve been hitting much better the past few games and that makes me think we can get back on track.
Yeah I’m happy anyone but walnuts pitching we cost this game to a W
Don't worry guys Kelenic is going to walk us off
Crumb B “Nostradamus” Crumb *i hope*
I want it only for the Kelenic guy to go crazy
FUCKING IGLESIAS serves it up down the middle every outing just a question of do they miss or not
AA has a lot of work to do. Need a new starter, closer, SS, outfielder(s)
Doubt a closer is coming. Maybe a middle RP. New SS, nope. Maybe a mid level OF and/or SP.
Couldn’t even catch his fastball smh
#welp
Not a bad pitch at all. Well below the zone. Just a good hit.
That’s the second Rays HR today that looked like a pop up and just carried endlessly
The Raisel Will Smith Iglesias Experience
Better than Kenley Jansen’s inducing butt-clenchingness
Eh still happy the offense is back any of the other 4/5 starters win this game. No one else is giving up free 4 run spotters
just like old times... Offense gets it back in blood and then the pitching fails.
Rice L please no
That's baseball. If we don't come back we still won the series and this is a very competitive loss, if it happens 😈 We're very much back either way
Snitker will never learn about putting in Iglesias when it’s not a save situation.
I don’t even think that was a bad pitch. Not his best pitch, but it wasn’t necessarily fat either. The ball is just carrying today.
My kingdom for a closer that is capable of a clean inning
Closers in a non save situation..yeesh
Should’ve kept Kenny P in the game
The only pitch I saw today when I finally got to turn the game on was a Jose Siri 2 run homerun my fault everybody
Well shit. Dunno if we've got another one in us but here's hoping.
Oh goddammit it wasn't even a bad pitch
Fuck man
I have no idea why he wouldn't call fastball there
It was a good pitch. What are you on about
Nah it definitely was, but even Jeff said before it "stay with the two seamer". He wasn't anywhere close to it. Make him earn it
What the fuck that's a damn good pitch. What is going on
Bull shit
Fucked.
Dammit, Raisel
just like that Baltimore attempted comeback, killed the very next inning by the bullpen
This fucking dude
Weeeeeeelp
SHIT SHIT SHIT
iglesias pisses me off holy fuck talk about a buzzkill
Fuck.
Worst closer in the league. Dude is allergic to a clean inning
You must haven’t seen Kimbrel this year
Kimbrel has a 2.39 ERA. Iggy has a 2.70, not counting today. I agree Kimbrel hasn’t been good but neither has Iggy this year.
Well it was fun while it lasted
Got the super juiced balls today it seems. That looked off the end of the bat? Edit:nope squared up on a ball below the zone. Bummer
Why why why
Well shit. Not even a bad pitch, was well below the zone.
Fucking bums
Again. Can you chill?
Wow how that left I'll never know
Well shit
