MLB 2019 Post season thread: Let's watch the Dodgers choke again

[Xno Kappa]

The most runs scored by a team in the first inning in postseason history. Yikes.

[archibaldcrane]

Even more incredible given that the second batter sac bunted!

Fuck the Braves. Freeman, Rainmaker JD, Markakis, McCann.. all fucking worthless this series, meanwhile after the whole "Acuna didn't hustle" bit, I'm pretty sure they've combined for like two total hits between them since. Fuck em and fuck this team. I'd rather have rooted for the Cubs during their 100+ year drought because at least for decades, that team didn't give anyone hopes they'd do anything, they just sucked. The Braves just like to make you think they're good, and then promptly shit the bed in the playoffs. Never fails.

Hope Snitker gets fired, btw. How are you gonna give the ball to Keuchy and Folty twice, and Soroka only once, like ???? The fuck. FOH.

yes I'm mad, but as a Braves fan since 1991, I have a right to be mad. This is the most inept, shitty, pathetic performance I've ever seen from any team in the playoffs, and how are you gonna have the lead in every game til now in the 8th/9th, and come out losing the series bc you gave up a record setting ten spot to the other team. Seriously, man. Fuck this team.

A Cardinals/Nats NLCS and Rays beating the Astros tomorrow would be amazing!

[Akiyama]

And to think of Acuna hustled game 1, braves would possibly not be in this boat.

Get the fuck out. That shit has nothing to do with the fact that they've lead in each game late, and only won two, and the loss two nights ago was due to the fact that the 3-4-5 (and McCann too) are hitting a combined like .150, Freeman's making errors and just ain't right in the head right now, and they had two cases of bases loaded in the 6th/7th where they didn't score a single run.

Acuna not hustling doesn't mean shit when he and fucking Duvall are two of the only ones offensively who've kept this team even in the series. I'm so tired of the "Acuna didn't hustle, waahh" shit, fuck off.

[Melena]

Dude sorry if truth blows, but if he hustled and didn't admire his moon shot single, he'd have been on third with one out instead of second and you potentially have a tie game instead of losing by one run. He's pulled that shit multiple times and the ONLY reason his ass wasn't riding pine game two was that it was the playoffs.

So we're gonna focus on that and not literally the many other reasons I listed why they're also in this situation

he's hitting .500 with a 1.600 ops this series, him not hustling game 1 is absolutely not the reason the Braves are in this situation, are you fucking stupid?

[Melena]

Yes as one of many reasons they are in this spot. Acuna not hustling, blowing game four late are the two big reasons.

again, they've lead in every game in this series by the 8th or 9th inning, and it's thanks to not scoring in opportune situations, and the bullpen, that they aren't winning this series. Him not hustling is not, because hindsight 20-20, yes he gets to 3rd, but how do we know he even scores then? They'd have pitched differently, and he may not have even scored anyway, folks are just stupid.

[Moss]

Acuña not hustling once is not a big reason. Literally every single out we've made with a RISP is a bigger reason than that

I'd be more mad but the Cards aren't even good. If we can't beat them then we'd have no shit against Nats/Dodgers/Yanks/Stros anyway

One dirty little secret is we outperformed our run differential by 7 or so wins. The roster still needs work

Can they move up the Nats/Dodgers game?

[Mertron]

Can they move up the Nats/Dodgers game?

seriously, i went out to watch the games and im going to die at this rate

[Melena]

Dude, playoffs can come down easily to 1-2 plays. Doesn't matter if it's baseball, football, hockey or basketball. And what people are going to remember is a game 1 Acuna admiring a moon shot single instead of hustling and getting left on third base and losing by one run.

no

they aren't

they're going to remember ATL giving up 10 runs in the 1st inning of a winner take all game at home

they're gonna remember Soroka somehow only pitching one game this whole series while Keuchel and Folty got two

they're going to remember how ATL sucked ass all series with RISP

not Acuna not hustling on one play in game 1.

[Mertron]

the five stages of grief playing out in this thread between moss and aki combined

[Melena]

Pretty much. That's like saying people remember Boston choking game 7 against the Mets and not Buckner blowing game six with a mental lapse error.

The braves have never come back from 10+?

[Kalmado]

While yes this definitely sucks for the Braves maybe this is actually a good thing, like Aky saying Snitker may get fired. Having your ace start game 3 is stupid. And while I didn't watch every single Braves game during the season I can recall Dallas K. not being all too great so having him basically penciled for two starts is stupid.

To me Game 4 was worse. Multiple chances to put that team away and you couldn't get it done. Twice bases loaded and no runs. They just haven't been playing very inspiring baseball. And while I don't think Acuna's actions cost them game 1 it's a pretty big issue overall and that shit needs to get fixed ASAP or get rid of him. Just my 2 cents.

[Mertron]

13-1!
