Let’s do it Max. One more time for us. Cmon

If we lose tonight, he may not even bother flying back to ATL

As long as he doesn’t end up on the Dodgers

Last time the Braves have won consecutive eliminations games as a franchise was in the 1998 NLCS... against San Diego.


(We still lost the series )


Also of note, in the current iteration of the wild card round, every team that has won game 1 went on to win the best-of-three series.

Well that is impossible now.

So either we lay down and die like dogs, or shite all over the Padres.

Maybe, but our pitching was overall pretty great last night too, so there’s no reason to believe it’ll matter.

I haven’t been in these threads much because they make me sad, but given that Arcia is having maybe the worst season among qualified batters in recent MLB history, have we ever considered playing Urshela at SS and Merrifield at 3B?

Surely the offensive advantage would outweigh the defensive drop off?

Have to get the bats going early tonight.

I think this is something they would seriously consider if Whit wasn't playing on a broken foot.

It’s hard to be optimistic but I’m trying. We should know what Max is all about tonight if his curveball is working early
