Okay I’m going to kind of melt my arse off here and I don’t give a frick. I’ve been here for years.

Freddie hasn’t been clutch, Markakis looks old, McCann needs to actually extend some effort in his swings. Ozzie has swag but he needs some bigger plays. Acuna is the only pressure situation guy we have. Other than DK shitting himself early, I thought the pitchers did well. I thought Snit called a good game. Molina got lucky as frick that his single wasn’t 2 inches lower, but that’s baseball. I hate the Cardinals. We need a 5 home run game coming up. If we get through St Louis I think it’ll be the hardest series we face.

Might do this aswell. I'll check a few times on the mlb app, though.

I'm going to be at Game 5, wearing my Sid Bream jersey, watching Folty pitch a la early Smoltz, Glavine, or Avery and seeing Ozzie walkoff RBI Dansby, Billy H, and RAJ with Martinez on the mound for the most epic win in MLB playoff history.

Miss me with all these negative waves bullshite.

Y’all really should be focused on us winning, the Nats, who we beat are killing the Dodgers. It might be a Nats/Braves NLCS

That’s what makes this worse... the Nats - who the Braves dominated this season - are whipping LA right now.

If we lose this series and the Nats beat LA, it might be too much for me to handle.

Management of the bullpen is atrocious imo

It wasn’t that bad. Fred and Donaldson need to come through.

‘Twas. Both Newk and Tomlin taken out after breezing through. It’s classic over management. I really don’t get how pulling guys when they’re dealing makes any sense, especially in a close game that you know may go extras.

Not a huge Snit fan, but today was execution. Freddie needed to plate Acuna on third. Hell, a few people did. We deserved this loss.

All hands on deck for game 5. Looking forward to it.

Well, except for the fact it's at five fricking o'clock because Major League Baseball things fans in Atlanta and LA have nothing better to do than sit in rush-hour traffic.

Maybe Keuchel starting was a mistake. Maybe you go Melancon for the middle of the order for the 4th time in a short time period and pray he gets through and you just go complete pound town with the youngsters in the bottom of the inning and don't need to hold on to a close game with Julio pitching the bottom.

But if you hate Julio, then you were in a lose lose for today. Especially since Martin going down wrapped up the idea of Fried starting.

Either case was going to be window dressing for a 2019 baseball bullpen game because you can't trust them for a traditional old school start. Only really can trust 2 SP on the team for a traditional old school start in the postseason at the moment.

That was an abysmal loss and very postseason Braves.

Somehow our #3-7 hitters were 1-20 in that game, and we're now 4-34 with RISP in this series. 4 for fricking 34!

The bone spur in the elbow thing sucks for Freeman, but he's been terrible since early September and has been beyond bad this series. This lineup needs to be shook up (get Markakis the frick out of the 5 spot), but I'm not sure Snitker has the cojones for all that.

This team hasn't won a postseason series in nearly two decades and has been performing in ways that are nearly unimaginable in that time. No matter the roster, no matter the manager, no matter the opponent, no matter the stadium.

I get where you are coming from overall, but pessimism and frustration seems pretty understandable when it comes to this franchise in October. Sunshine pumping and nostalgia for the 90s isn't for everyone.

The story for the game Wednesday is very simple. Get a traditional old school dominant start from Folty and only see 3 relievers (Fried, Greene, Melancon I suppose), or you're going to lose.
