Yesss!!! Nice work Braves. Way to get the bat going. Rosario is unreal. I don’t remember a guy being this hot since Andruw against the Yanks 25 years ago in the postseason. Awesome win!

Go Braves.

I think both teams are in danger of over-working their bullpens. We need to knock Urias out of the game early - make him work. And we should try to get 3 plus innings each from both Ynoa and Smyly. And I do think it was a mistake to not put Richard Rodriquez on the roster. We didn't need to keep 2 light-hitting backup infielders - Camargo's 2 at bats have been awful.


Ya for sure, I thought Rodriguez would be a key member of our bullpen after we acquired him. Definitely a mistake to leave him off. Agreed on working Urias too. Cliche they keep using but let’s pass the baton to the next guy. We have a lot of pop in our lineup, we are capable of scoring 8+ runs, today would be a good day for an offensive explosion.

You called it! It's nice to finally have a hot post-season hitter.

Being up 3-1 against a team as good as LAD was almost too good to be true, and the baseball gods took us back to earth - painfully. It's all about how we bounce back.

We just wanted to eliminate them and advance to the World Series, in front of our home crowd. ;)

Yup!

She my Atlanta friends and family are being over dramatic about the loss. I understand the disappointment, I feel it, but calling the team names doesn't make sense right now. No matter what the history of Atlanta sports.

Max won't start for LA now due to arm fatigue.

Eddie Rosario... OPSing .679 when he was traded to the Braves for next to nothing - and injured... put on maybe the greatest display of hitting ever in a league Championship Series. Maybe Hank was looking out for him - just 9 months and a day after his death.

Tyler Matzek - out of the Majors for 4 years - 2016-2019 - put on maybe the greatest relief pitching performances in a league Championship Series by a non-closer. Maybe Knucksie was looking out for him - almost 10 months after his death.

All this would have been enough for a legendary season. And now the Braves - who were playing at around .500 for more than half of the season - are playing in the World Series!!!

Awesome! Rosario got the glory for the MVP of the series and no doubt well deserved and the poster boy for the NLCS…

But that job Matzek did to get us out of that jam when the Dodgers were destined to score was unbelievable.

Agree, angels are watching over us this year. Something is in the air. Let’s finish strong and play the way we have been playing for one another!

Go Braves!

World Series price, Astros are the fav, but not as heavily as I thought.

Braves +122
Astros -145

10/26/21
5:09 PM
+ 1 Bets
Atlanta Braves
Houston Astros
+122
-145

Return to Atlanta Braves
