Braves MUST REFUSE TO LOSE IN GAME 5!!

[DirtyBird7000k 151]

The Cardinals are scrappy, hard nosed team with very good pitching! They are tough to beat!

And in Game 5 of the NLDS they are sure to give the Braves their best shot!

But it is time for the Braves to seize the moment and simply no matter how hard the Cardinals hit them? Hit back even harder!!! 

Time to Refuse to Lose!!!!!

Refuse to lose. I like it. Way better than Quinn's embrace the suck garbage. BARF!!

I don't know how many of you know anything about NASCAR but back in the 90s Jeff Gordon's team had the same motto, Refuse to Lose. It worked out pretty well for them too as they won 4 championships in 7 years.

Man i hope Folty has another awesome game. I have a feeling he will. Something seems to have clicked with him.

I feel the same. He’s pitching now, not throwing.

Yeah, I'm really not too concerned about the pitching with the exception of few (looking at you Luke, Dallas and Teheran). It's the bats I'm most concerned about ( looking at you FF, Donaldson and Nick). 

 

If our bats can get hot and match our pitching right now, we will be in the WS. 

[DirtyBird7000k 151]

We have to have Freeman, Donaldson and Markakis to all produce if Acuna and Ozzie get on base! Swanson should be put in the 2nd spot and Ozzie moved to 6th or 7th!

Only if McCann catches him again. Folty lived and died with his slider in game 2 and Flowers calls way too many fastballs and Folty's got one of the most hittable fastballs in baseball despite his velocity.

McCann hasn’t bought much with his bat this series but he is invaluable behind the plate!!! That being said Flowers has come up with plenty of clutch hits this year! I think he should have got a chance in Game 4 !

BMac or Cervelli. Cervelli is a smart guy. He saw what worked last time

Cervellli was also in the game when we blew the lead in Game 1. Stick with Mac and just have him batting 8th.

Well Dallas didn't do him favors. Folty succeeded with Mac.

[russ7000 724]

Yeah, our team can take it all the way if they want it bad enough....

[DirtyBird7000k 151]

The bottom line is if When Acuna and Ozzie get on base Freeman, Donaldson, And Duvall HAVE TO DRIVE THEM IN! Do not strand runners on base!!!

[capologist 12,954]

Instead of Refuse to Lose I'd settle for:  When a runner is on 3rd with no outs, get him home.

Hey id buy a shirt that said it 

[DirtyBird7000k 151]

I have seen too many games like in Game 4?? Too many when defeat was taken out of the very jaws of victory ! The Braves have a long, hard playoff history and that dark shadow looms over us today like a storm cloud of long suffering and despair!

91 Lost to Minnesota Twins in WS

92 Lost to Toronto Blue Jays WS

93 Lost to Philadelphia in NLCS

95 WON WORLD SERIES vs Cleveland * remains to this day the city of Atlanta’s only professional Championship * ( Soccer does not count here)

96 Lost to Yankees in WS

97 Lost to Marlins in NLCS

98 Lost to San Diego in NLCS

99 Lost to Yankees (Again) in WS

00 Lost to Cardinals in NLDS

01 Lost to Diamondbacks in NLCS

02 Lost to Gaints in NLDS

03 Lost to Cubs in NLDS

04 Lost To Houston Astros in NLDS

05 Lost to Houston Astros again in NLDS ( this marked the end of what was one of the most remarkable runs in sports history, 14 straight division flags but only 1 Championship!)

10 Lost to Giants in NLDS

12 Lost to Cardinals in WildCard playoff game ( infield fly rule was botched)

13 Lost to Dodgers in NLDS

18 Lost to Dodgers in NLDS

I Left off the key details from year to year but suffice it to say it hasn’t been easy being a die-hard Braves fan over the years! A lot of opposing teams have celebrated on our home field at both Fulton County and Turner Field! 

TODAY WE CAN START A NEW HISTORY! We can turn the page on the old and usher in the new!!!

A age of Playoff Victories! 

Today in game 5 against the scrappy Cardinals  will will not take another playoff L!!!

WE WILL REFUSE TO LOSE!!!

So apparently the Braves are caving in to the PC police. They won’t be distributing foam tomahawks. This is not a good sign.

All because some European American on the Cardinals team who might have .5 % Indian was offended???

[DirtyBird7000k 151]

Never fear back in 91 and 92 we did the chop just with our hands!!!!
