I forgot the Astros network was one of the ones that switched to AT&T a couple years ago. They used to be FOX Sports Houston. The only teams that I know of that are AT&T are the Astros, Rockies, Mariners and Pirates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they’re on AT&T SportsNet Southwest and I can’t get that channel on Spectrum. Only offered on ATT products such as ATT Uverse which I can’t get or Directv, which I don’t want. MLB.tv blocks me from watching them, but that’s only when I have someone in town from Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Mets just getting started out in SF but regardless of what happens there the Braves will have a 1.5 game lead on Philly tomorrow. Little extra cushion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTiger7222 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 This is unbelievable!! 11 walks for the Braves tonight. Man, I love this offense!! Touki pitching a gem minus the 2 homeruns.

It was radio or somewhere the other day that was speculating if Joc Pederson has been an invaluable influence. They were saying how Joc brings that Dodgers approach of being patient and wearing the pitcher down. dmite and AUTiger7222 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cubs are one of the teams that has mailed in the season. Tonight will be the Cubs 12th straight loss. The last win for the Cubs was August 4th against the Rockies. If it were for Will Smith the Nationals would be working on 13 straight losses. The Orioles have lost 11 straight games and are down 9-2 against the Rays. So they're fixing to have a 12 spot in the loss column. The Pirates are 1-9 in their last 10 games. Lots of teams have just packed it in.

This is like the approach the Braves had in 2019 when Donaldson was around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 We'll get a good measuring stick coming up as we run through the NL West but I'm not convinced this team can't make an October run. They might be missing Acuna but if they play like they have been the last two weeks this team will be a tough matchup in October. youngbloodz and falconsd56 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsd56 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Touki has been so good since coming back. He had one one really bad start vs the Brewers but other than that blight he has given the Braves a chance to win every time out ...and that is all you can ask for.

He really made 2 mistakes and was punished for them. But other than the two homers the fish did not have too many hard hit balls.

AUTiger7222 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The radio guys also mentioned that it's been a while since the Braves wore the navy jerseys and they're right. The last time the Braves wore the navy jerseys was July 26th. Tonight is their 11th straight road game wearing gray. They're 9-2 in those 11 games.
