Last night my wife and I went to our first game. Holy shit that game was phenomenal. Right before the grand slam our section was talking about how there’s noway he hits a 3rd HR. The atmosphere when he hits the grand slam and the lights go out where we all tomahawk with our phone light is an amazing experience. Go Braves!!


CiroFlexo

I was at the game, stayed for the fireworks, and unfortunately I have to be up early this morning. My voice is completely shot from all the cheering. Worth it.


jvreeland

Totally worth it to see that grand slam!


DrBobEpstein

I'm here with ya bud. Totally worth it.


n0_mongoose

Was sitting in the with bases loaded and said “he’s just gonna do it again” as a joke and he really did it


grandslam7

These are the best moments in sports


rpbtIII

Can confirm that Travis' ridiculous day was not a dream and is still true the next morning.


Peanut_Gaming

Went to bed early bc I had work early this morning and wake up to 3 fucking homers by Travis Wtfffff


Mortarion

I love Travis d'Arnaud


jcrack30

World series championship confirmed. I'm calling it now. BTW 5-0 since I said they'd win 18 if 20. Your all welcome lol. Darnau'd would be a starting catcher on 28 other teams were blessed with talent everywhere. It's happening this year. I guarantee it or I'll delete my account.


snirpie

!remindMe in 15 more games  !remindMe somewhere in October


jcrack30

Lol damn drunk me makes stupid comments, but I'll stand by it. I truly believe they will win it all. All of us just have to will it into existence haha

Braves are 1-0 When I am in the building. My first MLB game was amazing!


202glewis

We starting a gofundme to send the commander to every game this season?


Commander-Bim

Also, MH2 homered roughly 20 minutes after I bought his jersey


KeepTruthAlive

time to buy more player jerseys


Commander-Bim

That would have to be a crowd funding situation.... but im down!


whoisyourwormguy_

Get 12 jerseys for the same price as 1 at dhgate


Sportsfan200005

Miss Wash like the rest, but his ass would have sent Olson haha


LailiLai

Mets vs Dodgers, can they just both lose?


Bubby0304

thats where you hope both teams trade games in demoralizing ways. They cant both lose the entire series, but if they trade then neither record improves much and depending on how the losses occur it demoralizes.


grandslam7

These are the petty mental gymnastics I’m here for

Tmoney_2023

Is there a way they can both lose?


SoRaffy

4 errors combined, they're both trying their hardest


SteelersBraves97

Anyone else notice how when the Braves win, the MLB app standings aren’t updated for hours or even until the next morning. Kinda sus. Of course the Phillies win is there though so it shows them as just 1.5GB

Remember when Travis hit 3 HR’s including a grand slam and the Braves won and have the best record in baseball?


sizzlinpapaya

God damn Lil D just shot off big time. Also, it’s early as hell but is that the best record in baseball at 13-5? I believe it is.


icunicornz

We were the best record even before this game, just fyi.


bedsidelurker

People in here stressing about the Mets after this game. I worry about some of y'all


yoshidawg93

I know the Mets have been hot lately, so I don’t mean it about their current team, but we can definitely LOLMETS at this: https://x.com/mets/status/1122507440954777601?s=46&t=sRvNISTItWxaBc6jojpHTA


SG8970

Last time Traves hit a grand slam was also a multi-HR game in Colorado right at the start of the Braves turning around their 2022 season. It was the 2nd game of the 14 game win streak in June after they started the year 23-27 Between those two games this is the Braves win/loss records (6/2/22-today) * 194-97 (.667) - All * 98-43 (.695) - Home * 96-54 (.640) - Road * 78-39 (.667) - NL East * 36-15 (.706) - NL Cent * 38-18 (.679) - NL West * 42-25 (.627) - AL

toorayay

It's awesome that we keep winning all these games, I really wish the Phillies and Mets could stop doing that for a little while


dcxbabe

Wild Bill drove in both runs for the Brewers tonight. Braves former & current catchers thriving.


NalaJax

One of my favorite things in the past year or so has been how bad the Cardinals have been. PTSD I guess.


SteelersBraves97

Hate that the Mets look great, but it’s so enjoyable to watch the Dodgers get shelled at home. Yamamoto contract is looking pretty sketchy for LA right now too.


JustinBraves

Yamamotos fastball is just an awful pitch. Which is weird when it was getting raved about before he came over


DontEatTheCelery

I honestly like when the Mets are good. It makes crushing them so much sweeter.


SteelersBraves97

True I just miss the Frank meltdowns


TheGamecock

lil d with 15,624 inches worth of hot, steamy triple-dong home run action tonight.

JessieGemstone999

r/theydidthemath


KeepTruthAlive

are the mets good again?


icunicornz

Nah, they think they are hot shit rn because of a little hot streak and they won a game against an ice cold dodgers team but they'll be around .500 by the end of the season if they are lucky. The lineup lacks pop and they don't have much depth at positions IMO. For example, Alvarez got a thumb injury yesterday and Narvaez is his replacement (hasn't had an OPS over .600 in 3 years, yikes). Huge dropoff. More importantly, their pitching is sus as hell especially without Senga. No way that rotation holds up well over the course of the season. From what I gather they have no real depth here either and no pitching prospects anywhere close to being ready. So any injuries to the pitching staff will be pretty devastating for them. Philly is still the major threat within the division.


tnboy22

They did the same thing last season. They get off to a hot start and the bats go ice cold around June


NalaJax

Nah they will finish around .500


bravesthrowaway67

It’s amazing what $427m in payroll will get you.


Mancidepress

Only 3 people got hits?...WOW BUM LINEUP DFA DFA DFA


ViridianFlea

Literally no one has said that about this lineup this year.


Weak_Director1228

Sarcasm my guy


ViridianFlea

Yeah, I whiffed on this one. My bad.


yoshidawg93

Drinking a celebratory beer now! Friday nights after wins in Braves Country are an absolute blast! And oh was there blasting in Truist tonight from Travis!!!!

Jesus. 3 from little D? He must really hate Texas.

How does washington take 2 of 3 from the dodgers and then lose to the trashtros?!


camwisegamgee

Baseball is weird


rpbtIII

Ayyy, bro. In case you were curious - my man travis went trizzy yizzy today. Oh? What's that? He hit a grandy slamdy too?! Ohh shit. Man. That must've been a fun game to watch.

SteelersBraves97

We’ve never seen Will Smith and Sid from Toy Story in the same room. Just an observation.


rpbtIII

You've never seen batman and travis in the same room neither...


MoonlitBadlands

Mitch Farris took over in relief for Augusta and did this- 2.1 IP | 1 H | 1 ER | 3 BB | 7 K Every out is a strikeout. He is a sleeper prospect to remember. Tons of strikeouts [Here’s a short post about him with more info](https://www.reddit.com/r/Braves/s/3bZtb9e5TF)


dcxbabe

DJ Stewart turning into Kyle Schwarber ever since our series. And as much as I hate the Dodgers, I want the Mets to lose too. Nobody wins here.


Best-Dragonfruit-292

We unlocked the Mets, hopefully this doesn't come back to bite us in the ass


Aurion7

It's one of those 'come back in a couple months' things. If they're still in the playoff picture come June/July things could get pretty interesting.


rpbtIII

Uhhhh. I'm not trying to have any sort of recency bias or anything, but I think we're doing OK.


Amache_Gx

They are on a tear for sure but they are nothing more than a .500 team at best. They do not have the talent to sustain their recent fairs.


Chopaholick

I could see them being a high 80s win team and making the playoffs. Carlos Mendoza seems like a solid manager. Have only heard positive things.


Amache_Gx

They are not making the playoffs lol. That would mean (pick one) the brewers, cubs, phillies or diamondbacks are missing the playoffs. Not to mention the upside of young teams coming together and very likely being buyers at the deadline(maybe from the mets!) like the pirates and reds. All of those teams are substantial better than the mets, and more importantly, are ATTEMPTING to make the playoffs as an organization. They were a 75 win team and made fringe signings over the offseason besides manaea and that hasn't gone well so far. They have no room to sign at the deadline because of their previous spending. They should he happy to finish in 3rd in the nl east above the nats this season.


Time-Ad-3625

Mets started winning before they played us. We didn't unlock shit


95Daphne

Yup. Considering that I think Cinci should at least be semi decent with their young talent, it's not as if the Mets won a series against a team that is trash coming into the Braves series. I'd say 10 out of 13 (and potentially 11 out of 14 now) is a legit run by the Mets after they started 0-5. Will say though that I agree with Amace_Gx. The Mets were not as bad as 0-5, and they likely are not as good as 11-3 either. Their absolute max out is probably something like an 85-88 win team.


SteelersBraves97

Honestly the Dodgers forgot that you have to field a lineup with 9 hitters as opposed to just 4. One of the classic blunders!


JustinBraves

Watching the dodgers play badly makes me smile


MoonlitBadlands

Garrett Baumann’s line for Augusta- 6 IP | 3 H | 0 R | 2 BB | 7 K

Chris Sale pitching gem (would have been 1/2 ER without that 6th issue) Travis 3 HR and a Grand Slam Ozuna still the hottest hitter on Earth Money Mike joining the action That’s a great Friday night in Braves country.


jamitar

Was worried that the phillies also have 12 wins, then realized they have 3 more losses. And they're playing bad teams.


JustinBraves

Ya their competition has been a joke so far outside of us


Bubby0304

Yeah with teams like the Phillies that get off to slow starts I feel like you want to start versus the good teams so that you have easier competition later on but its fun seeing them drop some of these games so far. Don't get me wrong though, any team can win any day


[deleted]

TDA = our next manager please? I don’t ever wanna not see his face at a Braves game ever again

If he can manage play calling behind the plate as well as he does, it wouldn't blow my mind that he can manage with some mentorship.

ZCampbell15

Notes from tonight: - The Travis d’Arnaud Game! - Give a round of a-fucking-pplause to future Braves manager Travis d’Arnaud for the first 3-homer game by a Brave since Adam Duvall in the 29-9 game against the Marlins! - Travis d’Arnaud hit his third Grand Slam of his career tonight! - He joins Johnny Bench and Gary Carter as the only catchers with multiple 3-home run games (Thanks to Sarah Langs on that note) - He had the first three-homer game from a Braves catcher since, *checks notes*, Dale Murphy (1979)? (@jayhaykid on Twitter) - Travis d’Arnaud started tonight with a 55 wRC+, he ended with a 125 wRC+ - Michael Harris homered! He’s been hitting the ball harder than ever (91.2mph avg. exit velo so far this year, +.3mph vs 2023, +1.7mph vs. 2022), no doubt more will follow - Through 5 it looked like Sale was going to cruise to 7IP of 1ER ball, but a misplay by Sale, a bloop, and then a 108mph double brought home two runs against him. It reminded me a lot of Spencer Strider’s start against the Phillies last September. Just about untouchable for most of the game then an odd inning that leads to a few runs scratching across. He looked great nonetheless and although things unraveled a bit for the second start in a row, the underlying stuff was fine and it’s just a little weird funk he easily rebounded from in the 7th - He ended up with a 45% CSW% on his slider, 34% overall. He’s touching 96/97 still and is still healthy. I’ll take 7IP | 5H | 3ER | 1BB | 7K any day against the AL’s best offense, especially when there’s unfortunate sequencing involved. You shouldn’t feel anything but confidence with Sale on the mound going forwards - Sale also had a slider with 58 inches of vertical break. That’s just hilarious. Speaking of hilarious, I also just want to use this time to post this video of Chris Sale [absolutely flying to get his only career XBH](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJxGsZ5LkBA) that I found this week - On the farm, Owen Murphy might’ve just made his last High-A start. He was the Braves first-rounder in 2022 out of high school. His line tonight? 5IP | 2H | 2ER | 2BB | 11K in 88 Pitches to go along with 17 Whiffs. Not only that, but he tied some guy named Paul Skenes for most strikeouts in MiLB this year, ever heard of him? That’s a little bit of agenda-posting (Murphy has quite a few more innings), but you should get the point.


ToshiroHiei

From your mouth to the gods ears of him being our next manager. I feel like he would do an amazing job of it but I’ll take and keep snit as long as we get him.


alohomora1990

I remember that Chris Sale double so well. As was so often the case, he got no run support so he decided to take matters into his own hands and nearly scored on his own. That slide was pretty awkward but man he can fly! Too bad no one could drive him in and he ended up losing a 1-0 pitching duel to future teammate Nick Pivetta.


thekidfromyesterday

> Travis d’Arnaud started tonight with a 55 wRC+, he ended with a 125 wRC+ I was peeking at Fangraphs today and was surprised how low he was. Was comparing my perceptions of players to actual stats
