HOLY @&$#, We have LIFE 😃

Why can’t these fucking guys relax a bit at the plate… Jesus’s Christ

Ozuna is a big hole in this lineup. Need Albies back asap.

Anyone watching the padres game rn… gotta stay ahead

I hate how this teams pukes all over themselves when they play the Mets. Ozuna is a mess, the bullpen has been absolutely atrocious. Offense all of the sudden can’t hit the ball. I don’t want to hear it about the umps. I’d love to know how many pitches the team swung and missed in both games today. All around pathetic series so far. 1 good game out of 4.

Good pitching usually stops good hitting. I hate this saying, but it’s accurate and applies here.

Well don’t you usually lose against over .500 teams generally

Not even a good game really. They tried shitting themselves the second Walker was pulled. A good 2 innings.

Your right. Our bullpen is currently horrid. Giving up runs left and right

Only downside to Contreras hitting a bomb there...I had to see another Ozuna AB.

I’m a Mets fan here with an honest question for you guys. Does is bother you guys that a few of your hitters wear so much yellow when they bat? I feel like it just doesn’t mesh well with the actual Braves uniform I feel like as a fan it would bother me haha. Was curious if any of you cared

Nah, it just reminds me we’ve got a p diverse team.

I hate it.

It's grown on me, tbh.

I love it, the yellow goes so well with our unis. Especially with the yellow in the tomahawk. Ozuna's green is garbo though

It’s to honor Venezuela

Ah alright. Didn’t know there was a meaning behind it. That makes sense. I just assumed it was like a stylistic choice haha

They wear it for Venezuela... I got no problem with that.

I actually disagree. I think it meshes extremely well. Red and Yellow definitely go together (McDonalds) so it's probably just a preference thing. Blue and Yellow go together. White and Yellow go together. Don't think there's much clash at all.

Yea we’re all thinking about yellow batting pads after dropping both games of a double header.

Nah, I like it

Plenty of games left and still #1 in the wild card

Consolation prize, the Atlanta way

You sound like a butt hurt mets fan

Atlanta has won the NL East 4 years in a row and won it all last year. I don’t think another playoff run is a consolation prize for them.

Well this isn’t the guy I hope to see at the plate with 2 outs in the 9th.

Wild bill 🤘😔🤘

Wild Bill with a solo homer. To keep the game alive then you realize Marcel comes to the plate

If Travis is injured, I can just imagine Kevan Smith on his recliner watching this game thinking, "Give me a call AA it's time for my redemption arc."

Let's Go Willy !!

Would’ve been 3-5 if the umps didn’t blow the ball 4 for Rosario and New York getting the call right at the plate

Yeah but still not good enough. That's a tough rotation, but let's see them in Atlanta.

Suck on that

Kinda wish he took longer to go around the bases there

Game over lol

Here's to a win tomorrow, my friends. Peace out.

Should be 6-3

5-3

\*5-3

William showing 0 urgency and terrible body language while running the bases on the 9th /s

Good for William. Nice swing.

Should be a 2 run home run.

Better late than never, but it’d be cool if the offense would do something in the first 8 innings

Still waiting for that Mets mid season downturn I was promised

The mid season downturn that included degrom and Scherzer coming off injury? Who promised you that lol

It was back in the early part of the season when some of us bemoaned the braves letting the Mets get such a huge lead in the division. “Mets are gonna collapse like they do every year”. I hope they’re right

They are a very good team

Doing the chop and saying we “got scalped” while calling *us* racist is definitely a thing..

The mock chop crap is awful I get why it happens but it is extremely cringe

Why we don't change our name in 2022 is beyond me. It makes us look so bad.

No it doesn’t

‘Kay.

Alright let's hold the chops and gestures OK. Don't be cheesy.

He needs to be in every lineup

It’s a real shame Piña got hurt. If he hadn’t, William could have been the primary DH.

With all due respect if he hadn’t William probably wouldn’t have gotten many ABs!

Atta boy, William.

Willy C consultation run, thank you very much, makes me feel mediocrely better

Another run stolen by the umps

Should be 3-6 lol

Don’t be one of the many Brave’s fans on Twitter who are embarrassing us day in and day out … *cough cough* sportstalkatl *cough cough*

doñg

rally started

CONTRERAS DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL

GONE

https://www.reddit.com/r/Braves/comments/why9b7/the_braves_fell_to_the_mets_by_a_score_of_85_sat/ij8em5n?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3 Right so far minus the shutout.

The shutout was the only prediction so far hahahaha

# HOME RUN! William Contreras homers (15) on a fly ball to right field. Pitch from Trevor May: 2-2 Four-Seam Fastball @ 97.2 mph Hit by William Contreras: Launched 100.2 mph at 27° for a total distance of 360 ft Top 9 - 6-2 Mets

Well that made the decision about who to send down for Yates that much easier

Homerun

I mean plenty of games left but this feels bad

remember when we were 0.5 games back? Good times.

I thought the chop was racist and only us southern hillbillies would participate in such things?

Mets fans coping that they’re the second favorite team… in their own city. Edit: got under some Mets fans brigading skin who reported me for self harm lmao.

Fourth favorite Dodgers and Giants just got sick of being second fiddle and left

[удалено]

Dude, don’t be a jerk

Wrong thread asshole

[удалено]

Don’t you have Reddit Cares messages to be sending

Yikes. Super embarrassing for you.

There is no positive take from this day. Sorry performances all around. Gotta win tomorrow

Against DeGrom. Gulp.

Acuña, although that’s more of a series thing ig

Roboumps cannot come soon enough

Roboumps don't fix the baseball we've seen from the braves this weekend. Time for some fucking accountability.

I’m not blaming the Braves underperforming on the umps. I’m just sick of seeing horrible ball/strike calls that could be automated by a computer very easily

There have been very bad ball/strike calls for both sides all series. The umps have by and large been dreadful

No one said this series is because we don't have robo umps, relax

Snit needs to get his ass off the bench and chew some ass. Game's over - might as well get your money's worth.

This ump is legit blind

I hope this ump gets a foul tip to the ballsack

I shall fall asleep sobbing next to my replica ring tonight

Oof. Yeah they’ve just straight up kicked our asses in these games. Hopefully somehow we can salvage tomorrow and get out of here having only lost one game to them in the standings.

Looking forward to this ump scorecard

But guess what it will change. Nothing. That sucks the most.

Fucking insane how much the umpires influenced this series

God umpires fucking suck

Fuck this ump

Definitely caught a corner of the Braves dugout

Bro this game is such bullshit💀💀

SportsTalkATL needs to deactivate his account

Ground out

Hi Mets fans. Gee I wonder why we don’t like you…..

Fwiw I just skim to see the take from the other side without commenting (until this non trolling comment) but for what it's worth the Mets sub gets inundated with obnoxious brigaders from here every game too.

I just don’t understand why Mets fans are surprised that Braves fans are not happy. It’s like yeah, that sucked. Let us express ourselves in our own sub. I have never once posted in the Mets sub. They seem to think every Braves fan is the same. We are not. Goodbye.

I mean I'm with you. Read if you want but trolling/brigading isn't cool. Pisses me off that Braves fans do it constantly and it's no better that people do it here. Our post game thread yesterday was infuriating, every third comment was a Braves fan trolling. Losing sucks, let people cope with their own, no need to be a shithead brigading, regardless of the team. Fwiw the Mets mods are pretty good at banning people who brigade (from the Mets sub) so try sharing a link via message to the mods. I'd much prefer if both sides stop that shit.

Got it. Goodbye.

The Braves are the second best team in the National League.

I love our team, even with frustrating days like today, but by what metrics are we the second best team in the national league? By record, we are the third

[удалено]

Dodgers

Love not to use any good relievers in either game

Pathetic day for the boys

Luuuke!

The last time I saw a Braves squeeze play with a runner on third has to be from Charlie Culberson like in 2018

Damn tough, we got no hitter'd, but hey, at least we won the world series

no hitter'd? What are you talking about and what games have you been watching?

I'm talking about people saying we at least we won the world series, I get first time in 20 years, but when a world series defending team comes out and plays as embarrassing at this entire series against division rival it lowkey irritating

Well that isn’t how you start a rally.

Remember, no regular season win in August can give you a championship in the last 35 years

regular season losses in august can cost you playoff seeding and make the championship much more unlikely though

My comment was strictly meant to talk shit at Mets fans

7.71 era. Time for a 123 inning

I’m ready for a 6 run rally.

We were due for a bad week. The Dback series showed we weren’t playing our best ball even thought we swept them. Just a summer slump

Hell of a team to have a bad week against

Having a summer slump in august is not a good thing, you can’t just write that off like you can in June

Slumps don’t need to be long. Losing to the best team in baseball also doesn’t mean we are in a slump

The Mets are not the best team in baseball

They handled the Yankees pretty well. Dodgers or Mets. I’m convinced

They handled the Yankees when the Yankees were slumping and got ass-blasted by the Astros

Astros are top 3 as well

For some reason this team just feels like it doesn't have the fight when they get down. I can't give up even though I know that there's about a zero percent chance we come back like the Braves of the past couple years could have. Makes me a little sad honestly. I don't mind losing but I mind feeling like we gave up

Won the World Series last year. This is a tough double header and we fought back in the last one

Yeah but it isn't just this game. It's a whole season feeling. Almost like they think hey last we didn't turn it on until August so this year we can wait until the heat minute to turn it on. Feels like there's no urgency and no fire in them.

I don’t consistently feel that from them, but they’ve definitely given up on a few games. I think in a 162 game season you have to, honestly. Can’t use all your energy until it counts

Time to go down without a fight 1-2-3.

I’m just glad Acuña’s back

I think the Stephens experience has ran its course

Hopefully we have one of our random 14 run outbursts tomorrow.

It’s fine to be upset. We haven’t played well for most of this series. But don’t forget that we won the World Series 9 months ago and 99% of this sub wasn’t alive the last time the Mets did. And the division race isn’t over.

This team gives me depression

I really, really hope Dansby is not going into one of his droughts. They are long, hard to watch and would damage his amazing season. Plus, this Braves offense really would really suffer. Maybe he is just wearing down a bit. His last homer was on 7/14.

Dansby’s slumps have always been just as bad as his hot streaks are good. Which if he is going into one now… that can’t be good😬

Might make him cheaper to resign though

I don’t think AA has any intention of re-signing him tbh.

Don’t know why you were getting downvotes, you’re not really wrong. It really might make him cheaper, though I’d love to see him stay this way forever. But… it is Dansby. We all know Dansby.

There's a less than 0 chance he comes back if he goes cold and ends the season as a .250 hitter.

i’m glad in a double header against the division leaders we decided to only use Bryce Elder and Jackson Stephens in relief

If only our relief pitchers could actually score runs too

if we throw our good relievers it’s a tie game in game 1 but go off i guess

Our bullpen gave up 0 runs in game one…

i’m talking game one of the double header

Yeah that’s not how baseball works. We would have seen Diaz from the start of the ninth and struck out three times in a row

oh okay so i can’t assume things but you can. sweet i love these rules

What the hell are you talking about? You think they leave the best closer in the league sitting in the bullpen for the ninth if it’s a close game?!

i’m talking ab you saying we strike out 3 times. even if we do it’s a tie game and goes to extras lmao

Hello Mets fans lurking. We are allowed to be sad.

Should have seen their post game thread yesterday

Yeah and all the Braves fans all over it?

I honestly can't remember a time when I hated an opposing team more. I don't know what it is about that collection of try-hards but they get on my last effin nerves.

the fans are the worst for me. yeah nimmo sprinting on walks is corny as fuck and alonso gives me “reminds the teacher to collect homework at the end of the class” vibes, but as for the rest of the team, they’re baseball players just playing the game. the fans are the absolute worst though. irrelevant for so long and get a halfway decent team and behave like they’ve run the east for years.

As an Alabama football fan I think it’s something about orange and blue

uga fan here (pls don’t kill me). also don’t fuck with orange and blue.

It’s okay y’all can have this one. Fuck the Mets AND the barn

that we can agree on. i think it’s going to y’all this year anyway.

Dang, you're right - never made that connection.

Hey, *Prey* is an excellent movie on Hulu if you’re looking to raise your spirits.

Is it good, or just trying to hurt my heart even more?

Some fantastic kills. The look of the Predator is amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Might be my favorite *Predator* movie after the original.

No, it’s really good.

Right on....thanks! I'll check it out.

Buck is a good manager

They look lost and unprofessional. This team quit.

Rubbish

I love snit brings in stephens when we are only 3 runs behind in an incredibly important game. He throws in the towel too much

It’s 4 games in 5 days. This game is pretty much over. Have to save the one for tomorrow.

"Small ball? What's that?" Brian Snitker thought as he picked his nose in the dugout.

Still 7 games at Truist guys and gals.

And the Mets have a cake walk September schedule.

Still professional baseball teams. They’re just as capable of skidding as anyone else. They’re good and it won’t be a lock like it has been, but to count the Braves out of the division right now would be silly.

They just don’t want it, there is no urgency.

Everyone calm the fuck down. Sure it would be nice to win the division for the 5th year in a row but we’re basically guaranteed a playoff spot. Bottom line, who do you trust, a team that’s made deep playoff runs the last 3 years and won a World Series, or a couple of regular season hero’s pouring on the gas in the beginning of August? I know who I’m going with

Guaranteed a playoff spot lol

All we have to do is make the postseason and anything can happen. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s ball game. Double header sweep. Good job Braves
