I know enough that if we beat LA we should realistically have a chance but I also know Houston takes after the Patriots with their underhanded BS…. Houston offense is the real deal. Braves starting pitching will have to keep them in check. But on the flip side their pitching isn’t up there with the Dodgers or the Brewers. Offense will definitely hit and score runs A Dog Named Brian and NashvilleFalcon01 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about that. 7 runs a game. Our pitching better be spot on. NashvilleFalcon01, ATL Fan in the DMV and youngbloodz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to match them boys hit for hit and run for run ATL Fan in the DMV, NashvilleFalcon01 and fuego 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 There's definitely going to be some feeling out by both sides. The Braves and Astros have not played each other since 2017. A lot of the pitchers, on both sides, have never seen these lineups. ATL Fan in the DMV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guys on the MLB Network show last night kept saying every relief pitcher everywhere was standing and applauding that performance. Said is was probably the best relief pitching he had seen in 25 years. youngbloodz, ATL Fan in the DMV and putnam6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly we had better lock up AA or he might be gone. We did last year. He got a new contract through 2024. I dont think he's the type to bolt though. He only left as Jays GM because they hired a president of operations instead of promoting him. Jays haven't had October success since he left. We gave Anthopolous all the titles. He's president and GM. putnam6 and NashvilleFalcon01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, LOL I follow here on the message board, **** I even stopped posting cause when I alluded to the Braves sweeping in LA they promptly lost. I don't watch except I'll occasionally I'll watch the Braves bat, but if its the other team I don't watch, LOL I didn't watch the Dodgers batting till 2 outs in the 9th. If they score or do something good Ill watch the highlights on the reddit in game thread. Overtly superstitious is what I am, or as Ive coined it Im stupidstitious.

He's president and GM. Thats is good news it does sound like hopefully Liberty has him taken care of financially, and he doesn't have a dream job or something. It's obvious his acquiring Duvall, Pedersen, Soler, and Rosario were key. Might be the most impactful mid season trades since McGriff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
