This... might actually be true the more I think about it.

Our bullpen is really bad.

Henchaveria or however you spell it with a nice double and Folty sacs him over to 3rd.

LETS GO ACUÑA!

Donaldson and Duvall go back to back.
4-2 Braves in the 6th.

Luke fricking Jackson :/

Braves up 4-3 in the 7th, but I'm not staying up to watch the pen blow this.

Greene looked excellent in the 8th. Hope it stays that way.

That was a really great win. Given the injuries we've had recently , the Ryu v. Folty pitching match-up, and the shenanigans last night, winning this one was huge.

This team has done a great job all year bouncing back from the nut-punch losses.

Winning the series tomorrow would be phenomenal.

Take the series.

Ortega with a Grand slam.

Melancon 3 up 3 down in the 9th.

This was supposed to be a gif of Chipper chopping but I'm partially retarded.

Chop On!

Acuña benched after admiring his long solo. And we still came back and won.

At the time there were a whole lot of angry people on twitter saying you don’t bench Acuña there. I think he made the right decision. A little humble pie won’t hurt and hopefully he is motivated to come back and rake.

Looked like Freddie was pissed at Snit. I wonder what that heated conversation is about.

Snit did the right thing. Acuna is the most gifted player the Braves have had in a generation but he’s still a kid and he has to learn to leg out the long ball for the good of the team. Posterize the pitcher in a no doubter if you want but if you have to watch to see if it leaves the yard, do so from second while watching the replay board

Sorry, Ronald, onky us fans get to stare in shock and awe at your talent, not you

The Acuna thing is a big nothing burger. He hurt his team by marveling at his own ball. He didn’t mean it, he’s still learning.

Is been over 4 years since we won a series with LA.

Feels good to get that series during one of their best seasons over the last 4 years.

Probably about Acuna. It looks like FF used his hands as an example of how close the ball was to being a HR, and was making a case to Snit.

I’ve sat down the 3rd base side a few times and watched Acunas demeanor while he’s in the outfield. He does have a tendency to sort of day dream and stare off into the crowd a little bit

I say that because I don’t think it was arrogance on his part when he stared at his hit, just a lack of focus.

I like the emotion from all sides, shows this team is passionate and wants to win.

I think Acuna will be just fine.

He handled it well so he'll learn from this just like Andruw Jones did.

Seems very weird to me to pay close to $2M for Billy Hamilton who might play less than 100 innings total for the braves.

Maybe he’ll figure out how to just put the ball on the ground
