Title: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on September 23, 2020, 05:13:02 AM Clinched the NL East last night with an 11-1 over the Marlins. :clap:
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on September 23, 2020, 06:38:03 AM Well maybe to a shorten season they won't wear out like usual. They might can hold up till playoffs are over. RTR!
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on September 29, 2020, 09:59:58 AM Lots of folks are talking about the Reds being a tough matchup for the Braves in the first round, despite it being a #2 vs #7 matchup. I don't think the Reds can keep up with the Braves' scoring, but I've been wrong a few times in my life.

I don't think the Reds can keep up with the Braves' scoring, but I've been wrong a few times in my life. To be successful in the playoffs, you gotta have good starting pitching and play very good defense. Braves aren't that deep in starters but will play good D. Reds will have good starters and I don't know about their D. Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on September 29, 2020, 12:01:37 PM My biggest scare about Braves is how they choke in playoffs. RTR!
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on October 04, 2020, 03:24:14 PM Not sure the seeding system worked out well for my Dodgers this year...
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on October 04, 2020, 04:48:02 PM Not sure the seeding system worked out well for my Dodgers this year... You got the Padres that you were 6-4 against, right? :dunno: Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 04, 2020, 05:53:51 PM Well the Braves next games is against the Marlins and they might just make the Braves have bad days. RTR!
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on October 05, 2020, 05:39:26 AM I hate that the Braves don't get them at home. They will play at a neutral site. (Houston)

Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Marshal Dillon on October 07, 2020, 06:01:02 PM After 10 consecutive losses in playoff games, the Braves have won 4 in-a-row. 2-0 over Marlins today.
#+ Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 07, 2020, 06:16:05 PM This will give the Braves the win right? It was best 2 out of 3? RTR!
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on October 08, 2020, 05:17:14 AM This will give the Braves the win right? It was best 2 out of 3? RTR! Looks like it's best of 5, Preacher. Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 08, 2020, 09:42:05 AM Ok best of 5. It seems the Braves are rollin a little right now. RTR!
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on October 08, 2020, 10:33:39 AM The Braves joined only the 1905 Giants and 1966 Orioles in having 3 shutouts in 4 playoff games.
Meanwhile, my team needs to find a closer. Actually, they need to just focus on matchup pitching and ditch the idea that a team must have a dedicated closer.

This pretty much sums up 2020. :lol2: Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 08, 2020, 04:19:16 PM Who will the Braves play next? RTR!
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on October 08, 2020, 07:01:51 PM The Brave swept the Marlins with ANOTHER shutout, 7-0. Holy Cow!!! 4 shutouts in their 5 wins.
:o :o :o Preacher, I think they get the winner of the Dodgers-Padres series, for the NL pennant. Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on October 09, 2020, 05:58:45 AM (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QHHJtv4GTvs/maxresdefault.jpg)

The series begins Monday in Arlington. Winner stays in Arlington for the World Series, and the loser gets to pop the bubble. Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 09, 2020, 09:21:12 AM Well it is gonna be hard to defeat the Dodgers regardless who plays them. Braves are good but I am not sure they have the pitching to do it. I know about the shutouts but this is the Dodgers we are playing. RTR!

Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on October 10, 2020, 05:58:06 AM I'm just enjoying the moment. It's been 19 years since the Braves have gone this far.

Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on October 13, 2020, 08:57:07 AM The Braves very much deserved the win last night. Hopefully we don't drop tonight's game and let it get out of hand 2-0.
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 13, 2020, 09:31:23 AM I remember when the dodgers and braves was a big time game. The dodgers would whip the braves like yesterdays' child. RTR!

Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on October 14, 2020, 09:23:09 AM A well-deserved win for the Braves again. The Dodgers worked hard to draw walks off Anderson last night, but didn't drive a single one of them in. It's hard to win like that.

Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on October 16, 2020, 04:46:39 AM It's amazing to me that the Dodgers don't hit behind Kershaw, especially in the postseason. But I'm not complaining.
:dance: Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on October 16, 2020, 10:30:02 AM Sigh...I believe the Dodgers are going to disappoint me yet again. "Best team in baseball" during the regular season and a lame duck in the playoffs.
Beat the freakin' AL, guys. At least do that. Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 16, 2020, 10:51:10 AM Sigh...I believe the Dodgers are going to disappoint me yet again.

Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: 2Stater on October 16, 2020, 02:46:19 PM Even the fat lady knows better than to come out this early. Many teams have come back from 3-1 deficits. I ain't countin' no chickens yet. :unsure:
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on October 17, 2020, 11:48:47 AM I'm happy to see our games line up perfectly today. We can watch baseball at 3:30 and Bama at 7!

Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on October 19, 2020, 09:00:42 AM The Dodgers eked the series out. I commend the Braves; they are fun to watch, play sound ball (the base running blunder was atypical from what I've seen), and never quit.
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 19, 2020, 10:55:35 AM The Braves is a choker every year. I had great feeling the Dodgers would win. Congrats to the Dodgers for not quitting and taking the road to the WS. RTR!
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: hscoach on October 19, 2020, 06:11:32 PM Did anyone else notice the Braves pitchers didn't push the Dodger batters off the plate like the Dodger pitchers did to the Brave hitters?
Title: Re: Atlanta Braves Post by: ricky023 on October 19, 2020, 11:27:34 PM I think the Dodgers take the WS in 6 games. RTR!
