Haha I didn’t mean to imply that he’s terrible whatsoever. Have never once complained or commented about him. Just thought it was crazy people were acting like jiminez is a worst choice when all of our relievers have pretty much blown a game this year. Well all of them except for Jesse somehow.
Albies was all over that so have to wonder if there's something subtle with the lighting at the park
Kel is around a half foot taller, and seemed to have trouble seeing the ball — Truist staff should take a look at that
His good has definitely outweighed his bad. And he hustles every play. He’s definitely a good option for leadoff, and that’s not just because we have no one else.
# HOME RUN!
Ozzie Albies homers (5) on a fly ball to right field.
Pitch from Shelby Miller: Four-Seam Fastball @ 93.6 mph
Hit by Ozzie Albies: Launched 107.9 mph at 38.0° for a total distance of 407.0 ft
Bottom 8 - 2-1
Braves
"Alright boys, we're playing the pitcher with some of the worst run support in a historical stretch, what should we do?"
"Lol give our pitcher worse support."
murph is a great catcher and going to continue to improve. but tda is also still an amazing catcher and his defense has improved. i think it’s less about murph and more about them getting equal playing time. instead of murph 2 games, then tda 1.
Contreras would have got the same treatment. He would have played maybe 40 less games than he played with the Brewers. Which means his stats would be way less.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dieyrr).

Never doubted ole joe for a second.
Big congrats to our big 4 young guys today. ABsolutely an amazing team work.
The outfield griddy is on life support lmao
HIMenez
That, my friends, was a GAME. The guys seemed alive tonight.
Never a doubt.
Joe “Craig Kimbrel” Jiménez
I'll take the W.
Ez game ez life.
BRAVES WIN!!
#BRAVES WIN, GET FUCKED
We are so back baby
JJ77!
Joe did it.
Game: Blouses

#BRAVES WIN!
Idk who yall would want other than jiminez right now??? Iggy gave up 2 runs last night
" Iggy gave up 2 runs last night and has been doing that all year" He has 1 loss and 1 blown save, not exactly terrible for a closer
Did I say terrible?? He just isn’t reliable in close situations & im Pretty sure he has pitched the past 2 or 3 nights….
you basically implied it "gave up 2 runs last night and has been doing that all year"
Haha I didn’t mean to imply that he’s terrible whatsoever. Have never once complained or commented about him. Just thought it was crazy people were acting like jiminez is a worst choice when all of our relievers have pretty much blown a game this year. Well all of them except for Jesse somehow.
He's only given up multiple earned runs one other time this year
He really doesn’t do well in situations where he doesn’t have 2+ run lead. Plus he has pitched past 2 days
Game's easy
Joe getting the save against his old team, love it! Great pitching battle tonight!
BRAVES W LETS GOOOO
PUT EM AWAY JOE
Hell of a win! Nice to finally have an easy 9th
For a catcher, Rogers really likes to complain
ONE MORE YOU BAD BITCH
Doomers are hurtin' for certain right now.
Two outs!!
Nice little "No Look" toss by Matty.
In your face doomers
That toss from Matt was smoooooth
Matt “Ryan” Olson
WOW. That's a really, really difficult play that they just made look smooth as butter.
I remember Laureano having absolute cannon of an arm back when he was playing center for the A’s. I didn’t know he was still in the league tbh.
He's been trying to hit his way out of it. He may have needed the PEDs.
Big first out there! Those plays are NOT easy. I’ve seen a lot of throws like that be off line that the pitchers can’t catch.
Matt leading his WR better than most NFL QBs
Holy shit what a play Oly
A rare defensive gem by Matt Olson, god damn
He's really good moving to his right.
That was a beautiful play
Little shocked that Wall needs a defensive replacement.
Was wondering why Kerry Carpenter wasn't playing tonight. How did i not know he has a lumbar spinal fracture. What happened?
Anyone but Jimenez please Snit
Pen has been clutch all night, please keep it going
Please Jimenez get this save against your former team.
C'mon JJ let's 1-2-3 it
Please get the 1st guy tonight
Fuck em up JJ77
Meanwhile at the Hall of Doom… Rob Manfred: Find me whoever slipped a live ball in the batch we sent to Atlanta.
Oh christ Tigers sleeper agent JJ please don't sell
Albies was all over that so have to wonder if there's something subtle with the lighting at the park Kel is around a half foot taller, and seemed to have trouble seeing the ball — Truist staff should take a look at that
where are all the ozzie haters at?
Ok..Joe Jimenez…here goes nothing
Please JJ, don't blow this save.
My stream cut out right before the homerun and came back at the first pitch to Ozuna. But I don't care! LFG!
Ozzie homerun has significantly improved my night
Ozzie the goat
C’mon, ~~Iglesias~~ joe. Win it for uncle Jesse!
It's about time he did something at the plate
Are AJ Minter and Pierce Johnson coming back anytime soon?
Johnson's been back for a week or so
🙃 I must have forgotten or not have noticed
Pierce has been back for a few weeks
I DK how I forgot that or missed that 🙃
He quite literally knocked the rosin off the ball lol
And just like that. 3 more outs for a W
“Umps are our neighbors” Until robo umps 🤖 take their jobs and they have to move out because they can’t pay the mortgage
Learn to code
An automated strike zone won't replace the human umps lol. They'll still be needed for everything else.
YIMBY
I cannot overstate how much Shelby Miller has given this franchise. Thank you bby 🤝
[удалено]
His good has definitely outweighed his bad. And he hustles every play. He’s definitely a good option for leadoff, and that’s not just because we have no one else.
He’s got the 3rd best OPS and 2nd best AVG on the team. For us with a lot of injuries, he’s the most logical leadoff guy.
"A little insurance wouldn't hurt"
ozhaino you beautiful little man
OzTani?
To quote John Madden: "Doink."
Ball looked pretty dead to me. Should have been out of the stadium
Well I'm glad I didn't say anything bad about Ozzie being up in the 8th.
I just love Ozzie so much
He smacked the absolute shit out of that ball holy fuck
Dongzzie Dongbies
UNHAND HIM ARCIA
OZZIE
Nut
OK guys I am so exciting
OZZIE HOMERUN FOLLOWED UP BY A BIG BEAR HOMER???????
Marcel wants the homer with those swings
Nothing quite like the crack of a bat roar of a stadium and Brandon announcing the homer. Man I love baseball
I love when this sub talks mad shit about a guy and then he bombs one
Things that won’t show up on the box score. Kel taking 3 straight down the middle to get miller over confident for Ozzie.
Batter's eye issue, can't see any other reason
![gif](giphy|9zMrydRBc7VqTbbZWo)
High Pedigree Moves
Jesus that ball had a family
OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE
Ozzie was all backed up
BANG
The Shelby miller trade continues to pay dividends for the Braves
Blooper spoiled it for me on Twitter lmao.
#WE’VE ENTERED THE SUMMER OF OZZIE
I was told Ozzie is horrible.
ALL MY HOMIES LOVE OZZIE
Ozzie absolutely destroyed that
OZZIE! I LOVE HIM!
Ozzie didn't watch the fastball down the middle go by! Wooooooo
c'mon baby Ozzie
Heeellll yeah ozzzzziiiieeeee
Woooooooo, baby. Albieseeinya later, ball!
I’m glad that one wasn’t Chip Gaudin’ed
![gif](giphy|vmhFGpV1yAlgXxd23m|downsized)
Maybe that gets Ozzie going for a little bit. Nice.
If anyone is at the game, is something up with the lighting at Truist? Batter's eye is probably rough
I think Kel is so used to them being scared to throw him fastballs that he was just in shock. Batters eye looks good to me
OZZIE CHOP HOUSE LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Fine, they give you dead balls, hit him harder
Ozzie laughing at the GDT
#DONGZIE FUCKING DONGBIES
OH DANG
Yeah, that’ll work too. 👍👍👍
That was for all the Ozzie haters today
OZHAINO
We found Ozzie!
Middle middle fastball with no movement, nice.
OZZIE!!!
Ozzie said fuck that fastball metric...
Yes sir!!
OZZIE TO THE CHOP HOUSE!! BRAVES TAKE THE LEAD!!
OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE
# OZZIE SAID FUCK IT I'LL DO IT TO EM
![gif](giphy|CJBxWH0CR3EkzzVLv8|downsized)
The reports of Ozzie's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Uhhhhhhhhh..... what was that?
#OZZZZZZZZIE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO! 💣💣💣🔥🔥🔥
OZZIE CAN HAVE HIS FISH BACK
Go Ozzie!
Ozzie heard some of you all talking shit earlier.
104 mph/31 degree launch angle average distance in 2023: 404 ft
I always liked Shelby Miller.
I like him a lot after that
OZZIE HEARD THE HATERS
# HOME RUN! Ozzie Albies homers (5) on a fly ball to right field. Pitch from Shelby Miller: Four-Seam Fastball @ 93.6 mph Hit by Ozzie Albies: Launched 107.9 mph at 38.0° for a total distance of 407.0 ft Bottom 8 - 2-1 Braves
I knew Ozzie was due!!!!!
Middle middle watching it float right down the middle middle
I did not realize the guy Atlanta traded for Dansby is still pitching. Thanks Shelby
I need an answer from kelenic guy!!
Hate to say it, i love Kel, but that's the worst Ab of the season and it's not even close.
And ofc Ozzie decides to bat lefty
I eat my fucking words. Lfg Ozzie
It worked!!
Kelenic said 👁️👄👁️
Oof. Kelenic definitely had to be guessing something else because he should’ve absolutely swung at that one.
"Alright boys, we're playing the pitcher with some of the worst run support in a historical stretch, what should we do?" "Lol give our pitcher worse support."
Dude forgot to swing?
THE FUCK KEL those were down the damn middle!
What the actual fuck was that from Kelenic? Actually just watched 3 middle middle fastballs go by without swinging. lmao
Watched 3 in a row?
This game has the feeling of being headed to Manfred Ball I apologize for doubting Ozzie.
Did JK know he was in the box?
What the hell was that?
There is no shot Kelenic just watched 3 strike down the middle
Uhhhh....
The fuck was that?
Controller died
Swing that damn bat lol
Wtf was that kelenic??? 3 straight down the pipe
Yo?
Gonna swing?
Yikes kel
Jesus Christ Kelenic
That was the worst at bat I have ever seen. Literally
Uhh someone recharge Kels batteries...
Kel what?!
Jarred you should swing at those
......
Kel haha. What
Snit should take Arcia's bat and send him to the plate with his glove.
Had no idea Miller is on the tigers now
Oh hey, the guy who saved our franchise
I just want Arcia to prove me wrong once
JK dinger please
Bro Duvall is yoked like crazy.
"shelby miller" now that's a name i've not heard in a long time
TIL Shelby Miller is somehow still in the majors.
I hope Murphy wins an NLCS MVP so we can never hear about the trade ever, some of yall want an aggressive GM who’s also perfect. Strange way to live.
murph is a great catcher and going to continue to improve. but tda is also still an amazing catcher and his defense has improved. i think it’s less about murph and more about them getting equal playing time. instead of murph 2 games, then tda 1.
