One of the dads from our soccer team told me he is just happy to be here. GTFO with that shit let’s win the whole damn thing.
Tired: I can’t go to the World Series Wired: I get to livestream the WS with you guys like we did when Adonis Garcia was our cleanup hitter.
My brother got two standing room tickets for $722 total in the public ticket sale. We did standing room for Game 1 of the NLCS and it was actually not bad.
Have two friends that got them yesterday for Friday’s game. One said he was probably gonna wear his Nats WS hat with an old Braves jersey. I wanted to murder him last night.
But we also just might be those motherf*ckers. call a brickmason because I just ran through a fucking wall
It’s the front office believing in this group just crazily enough to be buyers at the trade deadline with a team that was under .500. It’s our security guys coming up to me during my very first batting practice, and saying how glad they were to have me on board. It’s Ian Anderson convincing me to change my walk-up music to “Way 2 Sexy,” and then promising, “It’s gonna bang.” It’s the white pearls becoming….. whatever the white pearls have become (shoutout to Gabe, my jeweler). It’s “Wine Club,” this thing that me and a few guys have started, where after each big playoff win we’ll crack open a new bottle. It’s Poppy, my three-year-old daughter, running out onto the field after we clinched the pennant and letting me know, “Dada, the Braves won! You played good defense!” It’s a couple of former teammates I’m really close to, coming up to me postgame and saying, “Hey — I love you. Now go beat the Astros for us.” And it’s the city of Atlanta, being absolutely electric, every single night at Truist, and matching our energy when we’ve needed it most. Obviously I don’t know what’s coming next — it’s impossible to predict what’s going to happen over these next four, five, six, seven games. I like our chances, though. Because, yeah — we might not be a superteam. We might have only won 88 games. We might have had our share of injuries, and slipped below some people’s radars, and taken an unconventional path to get to this stage. But we also just might be those motherf*ckers. And no one’s beat us yet.
I've told myself not to think about the offseason, as it will be very interesting, until after the World Series, because I want to just enjoy the experience. I will say this though, Joc should be a Brave next season.
We obviously can’t change the thread title now, but damn if Joc’s quote shouldn’t be in that title at some point.
oh wow Wright would not have been my first pick for "backup long man if smyly sucks". i guess his only job is to come in and eat innings if we are getting blown out.
i woulda dumped arcia for busty you kinda limit what you can do with gore with only two catchers since you can't be super aggressive pinch running for tda unless its the 9th
its not so much i am worried about kyle losing us a game since he will likely never pitch its more than i dont think that fuckface deserves a ring (i know he would get one anyways but his would be more legit being on the WS roster)
For the games in Houston we shouldn’t be pinch hitting at all. Our 9 best guys are set in stone unless there’s an injury. They had to get someone for Huascar though. Wright wouldn’t have been my choice but who knows he might channel his Marlins start last year in the NLDS.
