Imagine being the catcher like "Don't do it don't do it don't do it don't do son of a bitch!"

"That's embarrassing.  Looks like Josh Duggar the first time his parents asked him to babysit."

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Did you see the "throw" by the catcher on steal #69 earlier in the game? 

Any of us could have literally gotten closer throwing the ball with our off arms.  And yes, I realize how unathletic we are as a group when I say this.  The ball ended up about where the shortstop normally lines up in the non-shift world as a point of reference, and didn't make it far into the outfield grass.

Are you suggesting it's rigged?

No...I'm suggesting Gomes got shit in his throat and held onto the ball way too long. 

It has been proven since at least the 1991 World Series that if things are ever rigged by MLB (or allowed to be rigged) it is going to work against the Braves.

Braves have a chance to top the HR record for a team in a season.  They need 4 to tie the 2019 Twins at 307, with 4 to play.

Now, you may think, well, there are just a shit ton of HR this season, so big deal, and you may be right.  But, the Braves at 303 are exactly 60 ahead of the Dodgers, who are 11 ahead of the Rangers.

We're season ticket holders, so we got first dibs. We'll be at games 1&2 of the ALDS and ALCS (if they get there).
I better be out of this hospital by Saturday before the first game.

Ah well, the more things change the more they stay the same, right?

I'm talking about our Braves, the mighty .501 record-for-a-team slugging % Braves getting shut the fuck out by the Phillies. 6 Phillies pitchers combined to put the collar on the Braves, the first time they have been shutout at home THIS YEAR.  The old bug a boo came back to bite their ass, batting avg with risp.  Oh fer five, baybee!

The same Phillies that placed 14 games behind them, same as last year.  Speaking of last year, the Phillies are now 4-1 versus the Braves in the last two years in the playoffs.  They lead in runs scored 27-13.

Do I sound frustrated?  Nah.  Just shrug and go on.  Maybe the Braves will come back.

They feel destined to lose in this round.

There were a couple of blatantly shitty calls and reviews that went against the Braves that might have made a difference. Granted, I was there and my view was from the jumbotron.  The TV may have showed better angles, although I doubt it.  Murphy's mitt never moved a millimeter during the supposed catcher's interference that led to Philly's final run.  And on Ozzie's stolen base the only replay angle we saw showed that the IF's glove touched the ground first before hitting Ozzie, who was already in contact with the base at that time.  Worst case it should have stayed with the call on the field of safe due to a lack of conclusive evidence. 

(Aside here...why in the fuck am I cursed to follow programs that persistently get absolutely ass fucked by their governing bodies?  MLB has a history of cramming it in dry on the Braves, going back to when they forced the Braves to start sharing TBS revenue with the entire league while not doing the same to the Cubs and WGN.  Then you have the Eric Gregg game, the outfield fly, Manprick taking away the all-star game through cowardice, and literally hundreds of replays that mostly go against the Braves.  The only team I follow that doesn't get this is the Cowboys, outside of Gene Steratore and his bullshit assumptions - Dez caught the fucking ball. /rant)


But much more concerning is their inability to hit dogshit pitchers like Ranger fucking Suarez.  Now we get to face Wheeler, Nola, and if we're lucky enough to win one in Philly, Wheeler a second time in game five.  All this after wasting an effort where Strider fucking shoved for seven innings.

That was a damn good game. I'm not necessarily a Braves fan but I'm damn sure not a Phillies fan.

1-1 and going to Philly.  They were in the same spot last year and gagged two games straight.  Not to take away anything from the Phillies.  Not as talented as the Braves, but a bunch of tough mofo's.

I fucking hate Philly with the heat of a thousand suns, but I actually kind of like a few of their players.  Realmuto, Harper, Schwarber, and Turner are all hardcore competitors.
