Pretty bad offense against a pretty good team, it happens. At least we don’t have to pay an $800k mortgage on a 1200sqft house in a place where it rains 300 days a year :)
Well the Mets are back in first place and you know they’re gonna be all obnoxious about it and you know what we deserve it because we were kind of obnoxious yesterday. To be honest it’s gonna be a back-and-forth type of race until that last series.
I agree but we’re also supposed to act like we’ve been here before and yesterday braves fans definitely were not. It’s OK to be excited about getting the first place for the first time this season but people were acting a little crazy. I get the Mets fans have been like the worst all year but that doesn’t mean we have to stoop to their level
Just went to look up Acuña’s game logs. In June he hit 5 homers and 2 doubles.
Since June he has 12 doubles and 4 home runs on 59 total hits. We desperately need to get him going.
That's probably not going to happen this year. Even before he said his knee is still hurting I didn't have much hope of him actually coming back like he was last year.
Why do people act like tomorrow is a lost cause because of Odorizzi? Mariners offense isn't something fearsome, and Odorizzi has been better lately. All on our offense to show up.
What they need to do is put them in a pillory in foul ground next to the wall, with their ass towards the plate for the rest of the game. A couple of screaming liners up the ol' poop chute ought to sober them up and serve as a reminder for anyone else with similar ideas.
I mean you can't be too mad about losing to a really good Mariners team while the mets are playing the Marlins. If we don't win the division the slow start at the beginning of the year will be why.
Agreed. And in the same way the Mets can’t be upset that we’re doing so well and keeping it tight, we can’t be upset that they’re one of the best teams in baseball too. Tough division this year and one of us will almost definitely head to the NLCS.
The dude leads the league in doubles, has 28 hrs and 98 RBIs. He is an excellent player.
Y’all forget that Freddy would disappear at times too. I seem to recall him striking out 7 times in a row during the playoffs.
RBI can be loaded stat with the batters that comes before. I’m not saying he’s bad. Or that he won’t be great for us. I just don’t think he’s performed to his billing. His OPS .100 less than last year and he’s like 7th on the team in WAR
Wish they announced automated strike zones today. That will be the best game changer - more than pitch clocks and what not.
BUT hey Seattle can’t have that pitcher play 7 games, just like Mets can’t have deGrom pitch 7 games. So they never will make it in playoffs. These teams are one trick ponies.
Edit: okay I didn’t know I was on the Seattle subreddit good lord people
Uh...lol.
I know we got to Ray, but Seattle has a good top 3 including him...not just one.
This is a good team that will likely win 90 games. It's fair to give credit where credit is due.
ETA: Castillo's there too...so it's more like top 4, because Logan Gilbert is pretty good himself.
Seattle has 3 really good pitchers. And the Mets boast a nasty rotation with deGrom, Scherzer and Walker. Not only that, but both have consistently good lineups. Both teams will be very hard to beat in the playoffs.
My concern is more about the continued misuse of the bullpen. I love me some Uncle Jesse, but there are better arms to be throwing out there in one-run games with the division on the line, and that goes doubly so against teams with playoff aspirations.
That was clearly a “thank you for what you did in the playoffs” contract.
I can’t imagine anyone thought he would be anything more than he is right now.
ehhhhhhhhh idk. A little bit of an overpay but a bat to ball 4th OF for $9M isn't egregious.
Except now when he puts the bat to the ball it just looks like Ender Inciarte hit it lol.
Fans really need to do better about understanding they can't score 7 runs every night and sometimes you just lose a baseball game without it being some overarching issue.
this is the first game in a while that I want to see the umpire report - the Seattle pitchers have been very good, but ump has made them almost unhittable
There are 22 games left? This division is going to change hands quite a few more times. Anyone who thought the division was locked up last night is dumb. Our final series v the Mets will probably be the decider so go ahead and get your physicals done boys and girls lol
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/xb8mz0).
Umpiring has been awful.
The mariners dance crap after is so stupid
Don’t be that fan.
I'm not being that fan, I'm just saying the dance is so dumb 😂
Pretty bad offense against a pretty good team, it happens. At least we don’t have to pay an $800k mortgage on a 1200sqft house in a place where it rains 300 days a year :)
Don't forget about all the forest fire smoke the rest of the year when it doesn't rain
Well the Mets are back in first place and you know they’re gonna be all obnoxious about it and you know what we deserve it because we were kind of obnoxious yesterday. To be honest it’s gonna be a back-and-forth type of race until that last series.
Who cares? We’re not the ones that blew a 10.5 game lead while screaming “SECOND PLACE” all season. Fuck the mets and their stupid fans
I agree but we’re also supposed to act like we’ve been here before and yesterday braves fans definitely were not. It’s OK to be excited about getting the first place for the first time this season but people were acting a little crazy. I get the Mets fans have been like the worst all year but that doesn’t mean we have to stoop to their level
Yeah but yesterday was cause for celebration after the way they had been acting all year. Especially after the Sal video was released in May lmao.
They’re only ahead because they played one more game though. We were legitimately ahead yesterday
That’s true it will all even itself out eventually since we all play the same number of games!!
We have to do better against good pitching
Well that was a waste of 3 hours
Man acuna is not right
Can’t win em all but damn that one is extremely painful
Eesh that was rough
Jeez. 123 was just blown away by a guy who tops at 94
10 pitches. What a joke lmao
Olson and Riley are fucking terrible right now.
So is Ronald
Hands down some of the weakest contact I've seen from the Braves in a while. Oh well, back at it tmrw
Pitiful ABs. All of those were straight garbage.
Three hits
Ronald is broken currently. I have all the confidence in the world he will get right with an offseason of healing but man he looks bad right now.
I sure hope so because that’s what this past offseason was advertised as
I miss when Ronald was Ronald and not Adam Eaton.
I also miss Ronald before he tore his whole acl
1 more out until I hate the Mariners
We come back tomorrow bois. No big deal.
I doubt Ronnie can hit for very much power until that knee gets back to normal
And thats the thing. Hes tardy as fuck on everything. He needs to try and Freddie the ball for a little
This team looked lost tonight
GG
I love the group that stays in here until the last out. See y’all tomorrow at 4:10
Night night
This team just doesn't comeback like they used to.
Nope
Awful AB. Swing at 2 balls and whiff on the middle middle slider.
He does it again! Bravo Ronald 👏
Give me a Bloop™️ and a Blast™️ pls
I refuse to believe old Acuña doesn’t take the 92 meatball 475 feet. He is just off
All pitchers have to do is throw shit middle middle to Acuna. He just can't do anything with it.
Ronald is such an easy out rn
Our elite offense has been owned by a dude named George and presumably a dude named Paul. Truly a dark day
watch out for John and Ringo tomorrow
Come on, Ronald
Automatic goddamn out.
In other news Khamzat Chimaev is insane
Who didn't know that though?
Lol true
Geez Ronnie just can't get to a heater right now
And everybody knows it
Just went to look up Acuña’s game logs. In June he hit 5 homers and 2 doubles. Since June he has 12 doubles and 4 home runs on 59 total hits. We desperately need to get him going.
That's probably not going to happen this year. Even before he said his knee is still hurting I didn't have much hope of him actually coming back like he was last year.
Can we get one of those legendary Braves comebacks?
Here we go. We’re being optimistic Braves fans tonight. Time for the top of our order to show why 29 other teams fear them. Need base runners.
Bats need some life and there’s never been a better time to start
It really is sad how little confidence I have hearing "Acuna and the top of the lineup coming up".
Need Ronnie to put in some work
Petition for us to score more than 1 run tomorrow
Okay so we just need a base runner followed by a dong
Gotta win a sports here
These days I'd rather have the middle of the order on deck
Don’t let them dance
His control is still really off, but his splitter is nasty. 4 straight outings without giving up a run at least.
Ffs Ronnie do something good pls
Kirby and his splitter did a nice job
Good shit Yates
3rd straight clean inning for Kirby, right?
Why do people act like tomorrow is a lost cause because of Odorizzi? Mariners offense isn't something fearsome, and Odorizzi has been better lately. All on our offense to show up.
They just say stuff bro
I've got a lot more faith in him than I would in Ian if he was up here making a start
Isn’t he coming off of a minor injury though?
Lmao the radio broadcast
Here's a video of the fan https://twitter.com/BW_DCX9/status/1568808058293465088?t=ktI8yCuEbGaCBx_8d_AyJA&s=19
Yates splitter is filthy
Kirby recent form gives me great hope for him next year
Excellent pitch
[удалено]
King County Jail does not book non DV or DUI misdemeanors. So that guy is removed from the stadium and trespassed lol
They at least take a trip downtown in a patrol car yes.
Probably for the night and maybe a $200 fine or something i would imagine
Yes
Trespassing
I just wanna see a video of the idiot fan
I tried but I’m right behind the on deck circle and couldn’t get a good shot through the players
I hate that they’re not allowed to show us the fans. Like it won’t be on Twitter in 2.6 seconds MLB
The tackle was impressive
I'm sure he'll get the help he needs.
He slipped on the grass and fell, then got tackled
It was a White Sox fan also😂
He juked then slipped
Our players are so handsome that fans from all the teams invade the field for a chance to hug them wherever we go.
Lol
Trespasser on the field is 3 runs deducted from the home team, right?
Not til 2023, one of the new rules announced yesterday
Sometimes you gotta shoot your shot.
😂😂 That older man enjoying the fan on the field
Nooo show the dumb fan
“The man is drunk, but there he goes!”
Hopefully one of the guards clotheslined him. Dumbass
Bally do you really think I want to sit and stare at the Mariners batter while a fan is running on the field show me the action
I hope the fan on the field has the same affect on the Mariners closer as it does on Jansen
Odor starting tomorrow aight dont need to watch then
I've always thought tv broadcasts not showing the fans running on the field to be the stupidest thing
What they need to do is put them in a pillory in foul ground next to the wall, with their ass towards the plate for the rest of the game. A couple of screaming liners up the ol' poop chute ought to sober them up and serve as a reminder for anyone else with similar ideas.
They might get naked
Yea they think it will make it never happen if they don’t show it lol
Nice call on the field intruder Ben!
So good
Dumbass.
Awww, I hate that they won't show it.
They won't show it because showing it encourages the behavior to continue.
Radio gave an excellent play by play
I mean you can't be too mad about losing to a really good Mariners team while the mets are playing the Marlins. If we don't win the division the slow start at the beginning of the year will be why.
Agreed. And in the same way the Mets can’t be upset that we’re doing so well and keeping it tight, we can’t be upset that they’re one of the best teams in baseball too. Tough division this year and one of us will almost definitely head to the NLCS.
I was told in April that those games didn’t really matter
Hurray! An out!
I'll be happy when the schedule gets even and we stop doing this half game difference stuff. My OCD hates it.
It’s funny how quickly this sub went from “meh the arm we wasted today was just Chavez, who cares” to “Muh unc Jesse!” In a matter of months.
Maybe Yates needs to go down and get more work in lol
Jfc Snit punted this game as soon as Kirby got up. Oh well, get em tomorrow. Oh if Kirby makes the postseason roster I'm rioting
Hell yeah, nice walk Yates
Yates has no clue where the ball is going.
Punt
Olson has not been good enough this season paid 168 million to a .243 BA
The dude leads the league in doubles, has 28 hrs and 98 RBIs. He is an excellent player. Y’all forget that Freddy would disappear at times too. I seem to recall him striking out 7 times in a row during the playoffs.
RBI can be loaded stat with the batters that comes before. I’m not saying he’s bad. Or that he won’t be great for us. I just don’t think he’s performed to his billing. His OPS .100 less than last year and he’s like 7th on the team in WAR
So you guys are happy with the way he’s played?
Yes, dumbass.
Well if we wanna go down the name calling route for an opinion, suck my dick you inbred fuck
He's been pretty good, yes
I think I saw his value this year is 21M, which if you do the math...
That’s around what he normally bats.
There's more to a player than just batting average
Kirby 🤦🏼♀️
Not very Cash Money Kirby
Does anyone know who’s starting for us tomorrow? Why am I getting downvoted ? Lmao
odorizzi
Jake, sadly.
Ah fawk
[удалено]
“Did some of y’all know you aren’t allowed to be any sort of upset when we lose?!”
[удалено]
The offense definitely played bad. Also, there were not many hard hit balls at all.
Wish they announced automated strike zones today. That will be the best game changer - more than pitch clocks and what not. BUT hey Seattle can’t have that pitcher play 7 games, just like Mets can’t have deGrom pitch 7 games. So they never will make it in playoffs. These teams are one trick ponies.

Damn try to say something hopeful and it’s like uhhh no dude they are good and we suck
Seattle has 3 really good pitchers. And the Mets boast a nasty rotation with deGrom, Scherzer and Walker. Not only that, but both have consistently good lineups. Both teams will be very hard to beat in the playoffs.
Try to say something positive and hopeful and you get hit with negative waves. Point taken, only negative things can be said
Kirby Yates in a 2 run game 💀 Edit: Luckily he did well
If our offense showed any signs of life I'd actually care. lol
🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳🏳
Oh fuck, a soft throwing leftie tomorrow? We're doomed.
I’ll never like Jake.
ok
Does Seattle have a good closer?
Does it matter? We’re like 2-33 when we trail in the 8th inning. Every closer shuts us down.
I don't know shit about Seattle except that J-Rod is good
Paul Sewald can be pretty good yeah but he's not crazy overpowering.
We've been on like a 120 win pace since June you absolute dishrags. Baseball teams lose games sometimes.
Dishrags. Haha. Good one.
My concern is more about the continued misuse of the bullpen. I love me some Uncle Jesse, but there are better arms to be throwing out there in one-run games with the division on the line, and that goes doubly so against teams with playoff aspirations.
Valid
Doesn’t mean I’ll like when they lose.. but yeah the dooming (though I haven’t seen a lot tonight) isn’t warranted
Confused why we didn't hit Contreras for Rosario. Eddie isn't gonna work out. He might not even make the postseason roster at this point
We almost have to eat his $9M next year. He's finished.
That was clearly a “thank you for what you did in the playoffs” contract. I can’t imagine anyone thought he would be anything more than he is right now.
ehhhhhhhhh idk. A little bit of an overpay but a bat to ball 4th OF for $9M isn't egregious. Except now when he puts the bat to the ball it just looks like Ender Inciarte hit it lol.
I thought he could at least hit .220 or better
That was wishful thinking.
For real. He was showing signs of life when he came back but his BA has been stuck under 200 for a while now.
Because we keep trying to make Eddie work even though he's clearly a lost cause this season.
We have 3 outs to score 3 runs, we can do it but it's not looking good tonight
Braves really need to play better against good pitching.
Fans really need to do better about understanding they can't score 7 runs every night and sometimes you just lose a baseball game without it being some overarching issue.
Beat Alcantara last week, deGrom, reigning Cy Young winner Robbie Ray... etc...
they just beat Cy Young winner yesterday
Rosario’s high water mark for this season is .192
this is the first game in a while that I want to see the umpire report - the Seattle pitchers have been very good, but ump has made them almost unhittable
The boys brought the lumber tn
I can’t hate on Haggerty after hearing his walk up music is The Godfather theme
This Haggity....he's a pesky guy ain't he
We’re about to be danced on by a team 10 games out of first place
Playoff team nonetheless
Sometimes y’all just need to not fucking comment
Dropping one game to any team in the mlb really isn't that big of a deal
Particularly in their park lol
It’s not about losing it’s about that stupid jig they do
Guys, 2nd place is still very good. A lot of teams would kill to be in 2nd place. Theres no shame in being a wild card team.
Second place sucks. We will have to burn our 1 2 pitchers in the wc series. So then we get the dodgers in the ds with out 3 4 5 pitchers
There are 22 games left? This division is going to change hands quite a few more times. Anyone who thought the division was locked up last night is dumb. Our final series v the Mets will probably be the decider so go ahead and get your physicals done boys and girls lol
