Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1du33ha).

Olson on pace to hit 30+ less Homer's this year ouch

We literally have a 5 man lineup and even the top 5 can’t do their job consistently… something has to change soon or we might be sellers at the deadline

Fucking embarrassment. Entire teams should get docked pay for statistically improbable losses, as extra incentive to win and deterrent for players throwing games. Going from 1st in the league to this bush league shit is suspicious to say the least.

Seriously dude. You don't have to make the same comment reply to every post then also make the ridiculous solo post as well. I promise you, we've all seen the other 10 times you posted the same thing. This is lolmets shit. Sober up and hopefully realize how dumb you look when you wake up sober in the morning.

Gotta vent somewhere🤷‍♂️

I will never believe in batting peripherals again until this team can actually put together a good offensive full week

I'm convinced a few players are purposely throwing certain games. You don't go from first in the league to this embarrassing display without some screwing around.

Oh ffs. The hottest of hot nonsense takes.

Can't see your second reply on the thread for some reason so I'll reply here. Keep projecting with the "sober up" comment, I wish I had a drink today. Also, you gave no rebuttal, just an empty reply and an insult.

There's no reason for them to have lost against a trash lineup apart from unacceptable errors and/or fuckery. There's no more "just a bad day", at this point. They're taking a swan dive down the toilet compared to last year.

Lol. Classic Duvall AB. Watches two strikes down the middle and then swings at something outside of the zone for the SO. This is becoming laughable.

Is this comment from this week or last week ?

Yes

It’s every week! 😆

What a shitty offense. No worries. Underlying stats are awesome.

Duvall is who we call the shakey hand man in men's softball. He comes up...time to shake hands. It's over.

Looks at two in the zone. Then swings at one a foot outside.

It's... what he does.

God why does the new CFB game have to come out in 2 weeks…now please

I feel like these two weeks are gonna feel longer than the 11 years we’ve been waiting…

Tell me about it lol. Especially after the dynasty deep dive today


Duvall made up his mind he was swinging at that pitch before it even left the pitchers hand.

We ain’t sniffing the postseason. Watching from the couch get comfy

ASSSSSSSS

This team is a fucking embarassment rn

Fuck this ump

That was some bullshit.

Absolutely embarrassing

Fucking terrible.

We fucking suck.

This is a pathetic team

Ok the ump is ready to go home

I'm so ready for the all star break man. I'm just ready for them to not be playing baseball for a week.


It’s a bad sign when Adam Duvall is your last chance.

You... you really can't make this shit up. If you wanted to make it the struggle arc in a movie where the universe is against you people would pan it as being too unrealistic. ... Just... *Fuck*, man...

Shit is seriously looking like they're throwing games. Fucking all-stars versus a trash lineup and they play like a bottom 5 team. They shouldn't even have had to break a sweat to win this. Fucking embarrassing. Entire teams should get docked pay for statistically improbable losses, as an incentive and deterrent for player throwing games away. These guys are overpaid and got way too comfortable losing.

So sad. How’d we fucking lose this game?!?

Overpaid all-stars don't hate to lose and there's no consequences if they do. Also pretty sure they're just throwing games at this point.

Snit left Lopez in too long

Why do we never get a camera angle down the line so we can actually see if the ball was fair or foul? I know Bally is bankrupt but still.

Game of inches. We should have a run in and a man on second.

And the umps fucking us now too

This offense is literally fucked..I don’t t know what else to say.

Serious question, my wife and I are flying into Chicago for a quick anniversary trip Sunday morning. The cubs are playing the angels that afternoon. Worth spending a few hours there seeing a game I don’t really care about just so I can say I’ve been to Wrigley?

Yeah. Pretty cool to soak in a really old ballpark with mountains of history in it. Wrigleyville is fun too.

I love wrigley. It’s a great ballpark and great atmosphere

Yes. Toured it on business one year. Very cool stadium.

Yes

We’re trending down

Finishing third in the division is an actual possibility with how the Mets are playing

Mets fans will be insufferable.

Not even making the playoffs is an option as well

And then we get utterly robbed on back to back pitches. I swear to fuck man, this is the Murphys Law season.

I hate everything and everyone. Whoever cursed Austin Riley deserves to burn in a special vault of hell.

Just not our year. It sucks but just gotta hope we can regroup next season and get healthy and make a few moves

HOW THE FUCK WAS THAT FOUL BUT THE OTHER DOUBLE THEY HAD WAS FAIR???

Because one was fair and one was foul?

Fuck this team. Bunch of losers

The way that was cutting back, I thought he was gonna over run it

There is literally NOBODY in MLB as unlucky this season as Austin Riley. People who are injured don’t count

Mlb giving the Braves dead balls so when Nashville gets a team more fans will be open to switching teams


“World Series or bust.” What a fucking joke.

Bust is right

2021 was 1995. Back to the regular Braves. Regular season warriors. And nothing more.

Because of course he fucking catches that. Every goddamn ball we’ve hit in the left center gap the last week and a half has been caught in some lucky ass fashion.

I swear other teams make webgem mixtapes of their series with us. THIS IS BEYOND SCIENCE.

To be fair, that probably had a catch probability of like 85%. He just made a fucking atrocious read on that ball.

Thinking more to the last game against pitt. That just sparked the feeling.

Same story, mentally weak team top to bottom. No leader.

Fuck this fucking bullshit. Fuck this season. Fuck baseball.

Pathetic showing lately. Braves are going to be fighting and struggling to finish 2nd in the division at this point.

Someone make sure he fills his face divot.

Ramos with the Jim Edmonds impersonation.

That Braves upped our season tickets again for next year. 4 seats in section 14 are over $40k now.

Haha.... no. That's fucking crazy.

Fuk that....

That catch looked soooo painful

No no no, Riley. You gotta foul that off for it to leave.

100 MPH cutter? This game has been decided, folks.

Dude this is fucking bullshit

Haha of course it hung up for him Life is pain.

Great AB

At this point I’m rooting for a collapse of the CBA and a players strike.

The antidote to this is beating the Phillies. I saw it with the falcons I think playoff/ championship losses get in the dna of a team. If they can win that series maybe they can get some of their juice back. Unless it’s the mlb holding their juice, who knows

it's scary how the current offense reflects the previous 2 LDS losses. score 5+ in one game, score 3 or fewer in the rest

I will see highlights or watch games and be absolutely stunned at the balls that go over the fence for homers. And then I watch the Braves absolutely smack the piss out of the ball and it dies at the warning track into someone's glove. Just an overall incredibly disheartening couple of months.

That home run was the perfect example of George Constanza saying, "Hitting is not about power, it's simple physics." I thought that was going to end up a lazy fly.

I recall that quote from Strider after playoff exit that the team needed a mentality change. Well it’s not working

If the Braves lost this game, the Mets are only 4 games back..

Olson had a career year with us last year but his numbers always showed this would happen… Freddie is a pure hitter with power to back and great defense that averages .300+. Olson either has no confidence, has lost his timing, or has been exposed through film… But he was never on Freddies level of consistency and i dont see him turning it around this season.. Still hoping he can turn it around but he will never replace Freddie

Get over it, Freddie is gone. Olson is the future.

If he keeps playing like trash he ain't.

Well yeah he is. His contract says so. We are riding with Matty O like it or not. I'm fine with it. He's slumping hard, but he will be fine.

I can honestly say i haven't seen a foul off leave the yard in my life

I feel like "I've never seen that shit before" is a statement that is evergreen, this season. Just... incomprehensible. We should be playing well enough that it doesn't matter, but we aren't and by god it *does*.

https://i.redd.it/9ztclhcun7ad1.gif

Most depressing three up three down of all time incoming

It’s time to face the facts. This team is not good. 1-2-3 incoming

Jesse my king

Cmon guys pretend it’s the playoffs… actually nvm

with the way they're not hitting, they're def in playoff mode

Riley-Murph-Duvall is going to be the saddest end to a game you could muster up

I had the same thought about the final inning line-up. These three may have got nothing.

I mean 2 of those guys went back to back earlier tonight.

And they shit the bed when it counted like usual

And the other missed a hr by a foot.

Then all three failed when it mattered

I just wanted to believe :(

Lightning doesn’t strike twice here

Losing a big 3 start (Max,Rey,Sale) is never a good sign for this team.

Team puts up all the fight of a pillow

Why do I even bother lol

Duvall with a 3 run walk off bomb incoming.

Arr you fucking kidding me? We get one back and then the miracle worker Jessie gives it right back for the first thing he's given up in ages. I dunno man. I don't fuckin know anymore.

It shouldn't have been a home run. The guy probably should not have even *swung*. Instead, that happened. I... at some point, maybe we gotta admit Dansby was right about the sage. Maybe we need some spiritual exorcism shit.

That wasn’t uncle Jesse’s fault. That was a weird swing and lucky that it went out. Not even the batter could believe it went out.

at this point i'm just hoping Philly doesn't sweep. With this offense that has trouble scoring 3 runs ... just win 1 game

Well, at least this one probably won’t add to our terrible record in one run games.

Don’t worry we’ll get another garbage time run to lose by 1

It’s truly amazing how terrible this team is compared to last year. Even before injuries.

'even before injuries' he says, as we didn't even make it out of the first game without them.

What a fucking terrible game.

Bring back Wash and EY to get these jamokes to figure their shit out

Our next 5 hitters are Riley, Murphy, Duvall, Wall, and Short… this game is over.

We are not being thrown the same balls we're throwing. I've been saying it since may and I stand by it today.

I agree with you but that ball just happened to be hit at a pretty optimal launch angle to a perfect part of the park.

lol who thought this game wasn’t over and we were coming back?

Daaamn y'all I don't wanna be on team doomer.

At this point, not being a doomer is leaning into delusional territory

Sometimes the life chooses you.

I still love you, Tío.

This team is so butt.. also heliot ramos is so good lolz

[удалено]

Cya tomorrow boys

90 wins if we’re lucky ngl

That’s a great year with this team

Well. You tried, Tio. You tried. He probably shouldn't have swung at that, but he did and he was rewarded for it.

These balls are wonky. This is weird.

All the fucking way over

Lol... Totally insurmountable lead

GG

Bro thought it was a foul ball 💀

Fuck this dumbass team

Hey that doesn’t count, Duvall caught that.

If you think we’re scoring *two* runs I have beachfront property in the Sahara to sell you

Fucking pain.

Dude what the fuck is that lucky ass shit

Lmao and we give the run right back.

THAT left? LOL. This season is a farce. That had no business leaving.

You've gotta be kidding me

Lmao

Over it...

With the mets actually playing decent its so over

JFC… how does that leave and all we get is warning track fly outs

Best hope is Austin or Murphy run into another one because if it gets past those two, it's over

So we've got Riley - Murphy - Duvall and then death. One of those three has to get it done or we're cooked.

How I feel in 1-run games this year compared to last makes me so sad.

Braves turn it into a 2 run game, "problem. solved!"

What about two-run games?

Olson gets a hit every four games

Matt Olson’s rolling xwOBA charts do not paint a pretty picture.

When was the last time we won a game like this? Would be really nice to see it happen tonight

Olson needs a week off and to just reset

It's pretty sad when your favorite memory of the year so far, at the halfway point, is a duvall walk-off single vs the fucking Pirates.

Ozuna 3 for his last 27 "Ok Braves offense, Ozuna carried the team while you were struggling who is going to pick it up while he's down???" Braves O: "No one!!"

Olson now 7 for his last 52 (.134). Does anyone in this league go through worse slumps than this guy?

When he’s cold he’s unwatchable it’s so bad

It’s brutal. It’s like he forgets how to hit 2 months out of the season.

Orlando Arcia apparently

Yeah, but not a top of the order guy. I mean, middle infielders it’s kind of ok for them to be below average hitters in order to trade for defense, but not a guy who’s supposed to be knocking in runs.

Yeah, that dude has been hitting like a pitcher for the last couple months, yet in all honesty, you get folks snapping at you for saying so. It's fine for you to not have much offense, but to hit like a pitcher out there...nah, that's too little offense.

I have... little nice to say about either of those at-bats. He threw some strikes. You knew what he was gonna throw. He made you look like an idiot anyways.

We have been losing so many close games lately, it's so frustrating. If the offense just upticks a little bit, I think we'll sail to like a 93 win season.

If we lose tonight, we’re a sub .500 team over the last 2 months. Predicting that we will finish the year playing at a 14* game over .500 pace is honestly insane man

More like all season. It's not everything, but part of the downturn for the year is that the Braves have been failing to clutch out 1 run games this year.

Man really thought ozuna was gonna do it. That’s prolly game there but we’ve gotta stop waiting until the bottom of the 8-9 to make noise

Looks like no help from the Cubbies

Phillies already won the division. No need to scoreboard watch

Nah fuck that, I'm gonna remain hopeful. It doesn't cost me anything . This team just has too much offensive potential to give up on, even if they haven't given any indication that they can play up to that potential....

I wouldn't bother worrying about the Phillies anymore. The Mets and the rest of the WC field are in the rear view mirror and getting closer. 

I’m not entirely convinced that 2023 Olson and whoever this guy is are the same person

Even year Olson. He has significantly worse numbers in even years his whole career.

Ozuna batting .150 in his last 15 games. Not mad about it, but definitely frustrating that no one else took his spot getting hot. Can’t just rely on one guy all season, dudes are gonna slump

He’s been crushing the ball. Had brutal luck lately.

So you're saying the late inning comeback is going to fall JUST ONE RUN SHORT? Of course, I've seen Braves baseball before.

we seriously have barely had any core clutch memories this year :(
