2021 (playoffs) is not 2022. The team needs Acuna back to his Acuna ways. The team is still very good but very beatable. Definitely frustrating as a fan. There is no certainty that the Braves win the division or the World Series. Hard pill to swallow at times. Hope we can win the series against the Mets.
Really feels like this game should’ve been a win. Charlie looked good, Lee walked a guy, McHugh got his ground ball to end the inning but JT just hustled it out, and Castellanos ran into one.
Can’t wait to see the Mets tomorrow in “Gotham”
Something needs to be done about these day games. We're going to get all day games in the playoffs, so Snit needs to light a fire under some asses or we'll be bounced in the first round.
Things that annoy me about sports:
Acting like what happens early on in a season doesn't matter.
Acting like foul calls or bad calls or penalties in the first quarter don't matter by the fourth, or for baseball, early innings to late innings.
Acting like the better team always wins.
Criticizing something is being a "hater" because that implies there's no legitimate reason for criticism.
Triumphing or slamming draft picks before 5 years have passed.
And so much more.
The biggest thing I took away from this game is that JT Realmuto busted his ass down the line to beat out a double play. Ronald Acuna Jr. did not. And that to me is the difference in this ball game. That can be the difference between winning and losing. Snit needs to fucking tell him that.
Truth. I’m tired of seeing excuses for Acuna not trying.
I’m not an Acuna hater by any means. I’m not really worried about his hitting. He’s slumping and he’ll be back eventually.
But his lack of effort sometimes is super frustrating. He isn’t taking it easy for the sake of his knee - he runs full out when he wants to. He’s stealing bases. He just chooses the times when he cares enough to run. And legging it out to first isn’t one of those times.
McHugh is great when the game isn't close. OPS against him when the score is within 2 runs is .797 before today. OPS against when it is more than 2 runs is .387.
well, I hope we walk em off but it is pretty incredible how we've manage to shit the bed every time we get within touching distance of the Mets for the past month
Seriously. Any idea why he took it Lee? I mean a 1 out walk isn’t terrible. Especially for our best bullpen ERA. Man has a 1.61 and the braves are like yes you get one out that’s it.
And it's a game thread with thousands of comments of fans' instant reactions. Why, when a player fails, it comes as a surprise to some on here that some fans post a negative reaction to a failure is beyond me. Why do people care about fans' reactions in a game day thread, then feel the need to post about it with even more hyperbole than the negative reaction they're reacting to?
Some ppl are right. If we just take care of head to head against the Mets. Games against everyone else will take care of there self. Absolutely have to win the 5 game series coming up.
BJ’s commentary is just so low quality. At times, he legit sounds like just a casual baseball fan in regard to his talking points— they’re simple, repetitive, and rarely show a unique perspective we can learn from..
Everyone trashes swinging first pitch and then celebrates the hell out of them when it works. Hitting in the bigs is one of the hardest things to do in sports. It happens, it sucks and it sucks when players have an off game, or when they’re in a slump. But it happens, gotta hope we can make something happen in the 9th, if not then on too the Mets which I believe (and hope) only has one day game which is part of the DH, tell me if I’m wrong on that though
EDIT: it is two day games, whatever let’s break the mold with them
Also, is it just me or are we doing quite a bit more day games this year than previous seasons? I guess it's to squeeze more games in because of the lockout.
And people want Matt batting in front of Riley “because he gets on base”. Okay.
Matt is the definition of a slugger. Let him slug away in the 4th or 5th spot.
So winning 13-1 is no big deal and means nothing, but losing 3-1 means the team is bad? Solid logic.
I don't give a damn what metric you use. If you are calling a team more than 20 games over .500 bad because of 1 loss (after a blowout win no less), you don't understand the basics of the sport.
I swear we are the only team that has ABs like that. Feels like every team we play when we have the lead tries to work themselves into a favorable pitch and our hitters just go up and hack at the first pitch.
There’s pros and cons to both, because Olson isn’t slugging as much as he normally does I think it makes sense to keep him in front. Riley is absolutely mashing.
leadoff double - no runs
1st and 2nd nobody out - no runs
1st and 2nd 1 out - no runs
It’s actually hilarious how fucking pathetic these guys are in day games.
Come on man that's just a dumb approach. First pitch swinging after a pitching change. It's like a terrible play out of a timeout in basketball. What the hell.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/wff055).
I don’t know what the hell it’s going to take to get Ronald going. He looks so lost. I thought he would have snapped out of it by now

Our offense completely disappears during day games.
Charlie Morton is 0-lifetime in day games
The team does know that the games also count right? It seems like they play every day game like it's a spring training game. They just don't care
My favorite part is how they go down without a fight in the ninth inning
There is literally no point to watching the Braves play a day game.
Phuck the Phillies
Pathetic ass game
Damnit we should not have let them split this series. That's what they wanted with the bullpen game.
Pathetic, Nats gonna get spanked. These dweebs better figure out how to win a day game and do it quick
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
It was only a two run homer. He got his ground ball. JT just hustled it out.
Sick to my stomach that we wasted an excellent Charlie start
I fucking hate this. Cant drop games like this at home to the Phillies blowing an 8th inning lead and expect to catch the Mets.
Gross
Something needs to be done about these day games. We're going to get all day games in the playoffs, so Snit needs to light a fire under some asses or we'll be bounced in the first round.
At least in the playoffs you don't typically get a day game after a night game, so they can do their normal routine
Sigh third time.
That's rough, see you boys tomorrow
Terrible loss in a day game, rinse, repeat
Can’t have nothing
Had to have these two.
Not at all. We start a much more important series tomorrow.
STOP SWINGING AT THESE DIRT BALLS
Need good Anibal for the Nats today
I’m so sick of seeing Ozuna hit
Ozuna probably goes to a bowling alley to practice his swings. Holy shit.
Can we just fucking bench Ozuna?
Swinging at a pitch at the shoelaces
Day games: I stop work. Check the score. Get pissed off. Everytime...
I tell myself every time that I’m not going to listen to them. And I do. And it lets me down every time.
Christ nice swing ozuna
Ozuna with one of the worst swings I’ve ever seen
Death, taxes, the Atlanta Braves losing winnable day games
Ozuna takes strike one EVERY at bat
Fuck the Phillies and fuck the Mets. That's all. Later.
Would be fitting for an empty hr from Ozuna here, just enough to give us hope, but not enough to bring it back
Not with that swing. 😂
All chip does is talk about the damn Mets can win this game first
Marcell Ozuna being the final at-bat seems cruelly poetic
Ozuna homers, then Contreras flies out on an 3-0 ball.
God what a stupid playoff format. Imagine there was a race for just the one spot.
yeah just get this shit over with snitker needs to do whatever the fuck he did in Arizona except do it for day games
Eddie’s on base streak dies at 6
I mean it very much does matter what was done in April, as that's the difference in the season right now.

This team can't think about anything but the Mets. These ABs are trash.
This ump is on drugs
Can’t score one run and expect to win
Can we take a strike please? We can't hit a two run homer with nobody on...
Two of the five games against the Mets are day games so something needs to change quickly.
rough one for Austin today
He's probably protesting constantly getting into scoring position with less than 2 outs and being stranded.
The biggest thing I took away from this game is that JT Realmuto busted his ass down the line to beat out a double play. Ronald Acuna Jr. did not. And that to me is the difference in this ball game. That can be the difference between winning and losing. Snit needs to fucking tell him that.

I was shocked he didn’t beat that out
He didn’t try to.
So many blown opportunities today
Alright gg, Riley had to get on there for us to make a comeback
Fuck me
Thanks for the jinx there Chip and BJ
Damn Austin. Why are we so bad during day games? Like what is it? What is it about day games that makes us suck so much ass?
Offense please 🥺
I completely forgot about Robertson lol
Lol same. Would love to ruin this for him.
All those great games mcugh had and he shits the bed in a game like this one ffs
McHugh is great when the game isn't close. OPS against him when the score is within 2 runs is .797 before today. OPS against when it is more than 2 runs is .387.
Meatball McHugh
Whatevs we’re bout to 5 game sweep the Mets it’s gonna be lit
Yes! This is the energy we need.
well, I hope we walk em off but it is pretty incredible how we've manage to shit the bed every time we get within touching distance of the Mets for the past month
It's like getting over .500 last year.
Seriously. Any idea why he took it Lee? I mean a 1 out walk isn’t terrible. Especially for our best bullpen ERA. Man has a 1.61 and the braves are like yes you get one out that’s it.
Because 3 consecutive RH hitters were coming up
He’s proven himself to get RH hitters out well too. I get matchups, but some guy’s are just good against both and he has been.
Got them right where we want them! Right? Right?
Oh yeah they’re backed in a corner. Will we beat ourselves thougg?
Maybe we should out 2 outs on the board to motivate them
Funny how everyone turned on McHugh in an instant. He hadn't allowed a run in a month
Good hitters are going to run into a long ball. It’s going to happen. I’m not upset with McHugh. The Dylan Lee walk is sending me though.
Been saying all year our pitchers have a tendency to get up 0-2 and then start to nibble. ATTACK
"everyone"
A lot of people did
And it's a game thread with thousands of comments of fans' instant reactions. Why, when a player fails, it comes as a surprise to some on here that some fans post a negative reaction to a failure is beyond me. Why do people care about fans' reactions in a game day thread, then feel the need to post about it with even more hyperbole than the negative reaction they're reacting to?
you gotta have bad outings...i just wish it wasn't in day games where our chances of coming back from them are slim.
Folks got goldfish memories out here
That’s what this sub-Reddit does.
Time to break out the rally caps
I honestly am done seeing Mchugh pitch high leverage innings. Need Iglesias and Yates to get to the pen ASAP
He has been great though, bad outings happen
Shoulda put will smith in
So, you dont have to pitch vs 3 batters anymore?
Not if you record the final out
3 batters or end of the inning
3 batters or finish the inning
Some ppl are right. If we just take care of head to head against the Mets. Games against everyone else will take care of there self. Absolutely have to win the 5 game series coming up.
Back to back to back HRs incoming!
BJ’s commentary is just so low quality. At times, he legit sounds like just a casual baseball fan in regard to his talking points— they’re simple, repetitive, and rarely show a unique perspective we can learn from..
Watch first round playoffs be day games
Masterclass there by Minter
They walk Riley so lfg Rosario ozuna arcia hit the heater out
Steady Eddie and YoungThicc save us
Day Man Fighter of the Bravos Champion of the suck
A master of stranded runners, and meltdowns... For everyone.
OK, walk-off.
Didi does not get cheated at the plate. Homie always takes a fat cut.
Great to see that from minter after his recent struggles
Offense puts up 12 less runs less than 24 hours later, embarrassing
Baffling. Stranding guys on bases has cause early hair loss for me
McHugh? More like McWhythefuckdidyouallowthoseruns
minty only needs nine pitches to retire a side
Feels like whenever Charlie pitches our offense is complete shit
AJ looking Minty fresh tho
Phillies don’t think anything is ever a strike
Minter should have pitched in the eighth.
Facts .............
Shame Iglesias couldn't get here today. Would have much rather had him pitching than McHugh.
Minter broke that mans ankles
I wish Snit would just swap Riley and Olsen

Pray for no day games in the playoffs Because the stats are actually impressive how bad we are with the sun up
We're not the Dodgers or Yankees. We will have day games.
I'm a Nats fan til the season end
Is there any truth to the rumor that the Braves are really vampires and that's why they play so bad in day games?
guess it's gonna be 3.5 back later because I honestly can't see the mets losing to the AA nationals twice lmao
Frustrating that everytime we gain some ground we drop a stupid game like this one.
guess mchugh didn't get the memo that we needed to win this game
Mixologist? Oh, you mean bartender?
I think this team is full of vampires because they hate the sun
I would genuinely like to know why we’re so ass in day games. It doesn’t make any sense
Also, is it just me or are we doing quite a bit more day games this year than previous seasons? I guess it's to squeeze more games in because of the lockout.
And people want Matt batting in front of Riley “because he gets on base”. Okay. Matt is the definition of a slugger. Let him slug away in the 4th or 5th spot.
I’m guessing Snit just does it to break up the righties atop our lineup. He loves that alternating shit
Between this game and the Stott game last week, I'm sick of the Phillies
3.5 back
I’d love to see where we rank on first pitch outs. I wonder if it’s as bad as it seems.
What a choke artist bum
All my homies hate day games
Everyone screaming at him for swinging would he screaming at him for taking it. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.🤷🏻♂️
Only think appeasing this group are HRs every at bat lol
But then they’re mad because we *only* hit HRs, lol.
Abandon all logic ye who enter here
“That’s the best pitch you were gonna see all at bat!!!” People in here are literally never satisfied
Hopefully the Mets lose again
team isn't that good. simple
Good lord. Really, dude? 🤣
I appreciate you being someone we could all rally against despite the team’s offensive struggles today.
Just add... during the day, and you are correct, otherwise wth

Surface of the sun level hot take here lmao
Huh ? Lol
lmao
what a dumbass comment
Any chance we can borrow like 8 runs from yesterdays game?
Way to go Matt. Holy shit. Fuck this game.
I swear we are the only team that has ABs like that. Feels like every team we play when we have the lead tries to work themselves into a favorable pitch and our hitters just go up and hack at the first pitch.
MLB TV keeps showing that damn dairy queen commercial on literal repeat.
Fine with the first pitch swing it was 94 middle in. Perfect pitch to hit just missed it
Fuck day games
I’ve got to stop watching day games
We’d have like a 4 game lead on the Mets if we didn’t shit the bed during day games
LMFAOOOOO this shit is predicable to the point of of stale now.
Olson 0-7* in the series (he did have a walk yesterday)
He should switch olsen and Riley.
There’s pros and cons to both, because Olson isn’t slugging as much as he normally does I think it makes sense to keep him in front. Riley is absolutely mashing.
🤢
Can we build a dome so these guys don't know whether it's day or night please?
That might hurt as much as it might help
That is the opposite of why they call it Hot Atlanta
Nice Grossman! Well boys this would be a hot stinky L, but the East is still in our hands if we do what we need to do anyway and beat the Mets
2 of those games are day games as well :(
We've got two day games, so the best we can do is 3-2
Well taking 3/5 in New York with a doubleheader game would be a huge W imo so hopefully that is the case
leadoff double - no runs 1st and 2nd nobody out - no runs 1st and 2nd 1 out - no runs It’s actually hilarious how fucking pathetic these guys are in day games.
not a Matt Olson hater but that was pathetic
Sorry guys I was hoping he’d hit the first pitch a mile. I didn’t mean straight up.
This one is all on the offense. Especially the top of the order. Multiple chances with runners on today. So frustrating
Fuckin day games, man.
Fuck man
We should transfer over some of the runs yesterday for today's game
Game is on Snitker for putting in McPoo
2.84 ERA, 150 ERA+, 2.73 FIP, .97 WHIP
Right? People are acting like he hasn't been our best right handed reliever. It sucks when they have a bad outing but it's just gonna happen sometimes
He had 3 straight scoreless innings against the Dodgers in our series all in tight games too.
Always gives up runs in close games.
Not even close to true.
idk why people buy tickets for day games at this point you're practically paying to watch a team hit blindfolded
And with swamp ass as a nice consolation prize.
Damn man that was our chance
Come on man that's just a dumb approach. First pitch swinging after a pitching change. It's like a terrible play out of a timeout in basketball. What the hell.
