Braves 2016 season thread

Nice play by Beckham.

Jace Peterson had a decent running catch in his first opportunity in left field.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Markakis with an RBI single.

Early 1-0 lead.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Of course Teheran walks the leadoff man after he is given a lead.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Harper up with the bases loaded.

I fully expect this to be the point where the game is out of reach. Harper has killed Teheran.

Yep, grand slam.

4-1 Nats

 

[Chewbaccer]

And that's why under no circumstance is it acceptable to walk the leadoff hitter.

 

[Chewbaccer]

100th career homer for Harper.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Is it bad that I had no reaction when Harper hit the slam? I pretty well knew it was coming.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Strasburg is about to show Teheran how to throw a shut down inning after your hitters give you a lead.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Yep, easy 1-2-3 inning for Strasburg.

We should trade Teheran before he completely runs out of value.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Ramos with a solo shot.

5-1 Nats.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Are you fucking kidding me, Fredi?

You chose not to replay when Murphy is clearly out at second and you don't review it with 2 outs?, A wild pitch and a Ramos double later and it's a 6-1 Nats lead.

Looks like we could be 0-9 soon. When was the last time we had an 0-9 start?

Fredi using Jose Ramirez in the top of the 9th when we were down by one against the Cardinals, pinch hitting for CHacin who was dealing and only thrown 69 pitches and now choosing not to review a play at second that would have ended the inning if the play were looked at tells me Fredi isn't even trying to win games.

Fredi isn't our manager of the future. Fire him now and get someone in there that will at least try.

We started 0-10 in 1988, which was the worst start in franchise history. Also in 1988, the Orioles set the MLB record of starting the season 0-21.

Man, we're going to back to the Dark Ages here. That was back when the only team the city had that was worth a shit was the Hawks.

Now that I think about it, it's not that different right now.

 

[Chewbaccer]

We're about to lose 13 games in a row at Nationals Park dating back to 2014.

At least it gives me something to bitch about, and I can vent on SportsHoopla and not look like a babbling fool IRL.

 

[Chewbaccer]

The highlight of this game was a clip of John Smoltz playing the accordion.

And I don't watch basketball of any form, so whether or not the Hawks are relevant is irrelevant to me.

The Braves and Dawgs are who I'm most passionate about.

I'm a casual Falcons fan, but the Broncos are my favorite NFL team, so the Braves are the only Atlanta team I really care about.
