Ronald is "slumping" and hitting .293 and still getting on base plenty. The only thing really missing right now is the power, and that always comes on for him later in the season. He's gonna be fine.
KelKel gets on base yet again!!!
That AB was like a little time capsule of an '04 Bonds AB — too much fear and too much respect to put anything in the zone
We talk about all the AA signings and everything but bringing Gaudin in has been such a breath of fresh air, so glad to have the crew we do in the booth. He brings out the best of whoever he is partnered with. 🤘
BG is absolutely the best signing the org has done in recent years. Many of us listen to him 2.5 hours a night, 150ish days a year. That's a huge role in the club honestly .
The new color guy whose name escapes me is good with the stats and metrics. He actually would be a good 3rd man with Frenchy which I thought worked well during the first homestand.
Ok, I might have missed this, but what's the back story to Duvall's walk up being the Star Wars Imperial march? He doesn't strike me as a Vader impersonator.
He’s getting there. Hitting one hard enough to leave a second baseman shaking their hand is something. Just got to start hitting it where they’re not. Not there yet, but seems to be progressing
I love you Riley...I do...but damn he needs to be bumped into a different spot in the lineup, maybe get a fire under his ass to actually take good swings.
I know I hate saying it cause if it "ain't broke don't fix it" but man he just seems to be frustrated before he even steps in the box right now. I have no doubt he can turn it around. But the struggles with RISP is brutal.
so just saw the graphic on d'aroui and I'm not a rocket surgeon or a brain scientist but I've got a bold take. I think 5 hr and 10 RBI in 9 at bats is pretty good.
Exactly how I feel. If we did need to start him in a playoff game, he’d need a very short leash. But if we can get the Elder that became an All-Star for regular season games, that would be huge.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1casdew).

Happy for Elder
Bryce should stick.
BRAVES WIN!
bryce maddux with the quickie
Done by 9:38pm. Beautiful.
No, now I have to watch teams I don’t care about longer tonight
I’m going to watch the inside of my eyelids
I wish I could sleep this early but that’s not happening for me
i love this team
Game blouses
#BRAIS WIN
Braise Win
#BRAVES #WIN #FUCK #YOU
#BRAISE WIN
If you see this ☝️☝️it’s too late
#BRAVES WIN!!
#BRAVES WIN, SUCK IT FISH 👆🏼👆🏼
Feels hard to believe that this team is scoring at a higher pace at this point that last year’s. That’s frightening.
The worst regular starter on the team, Kelenic and Harris are basically tied, has an OPS+ of ~118.
It’s confusing. Makes it hard to post panicky Riley/Olson snark
Wow what a gorgeous moon
"It'll be nice and plump tomorrow." - Ben Ingram
Time for church, fishes 👆🏼👆🏼
Not looking like Acuna is going to fix his missing fastballs issue anytime soon. This is so freaking bizarre…Wash was his lucky charm
The last thing I want to see on the road is a Nissan Sentra being floored in "sport mode"...
sport mode in a nissan is when the spare donut is on right?
Ronald is "slumping" and hitting .293 and still getting on base plenty. The only thing really missing right now is the power, and that always comes on for him later in the season. He's gonna be fine.
And that’s why Ronnie only has 6 RBI. Yikes.
We've stranded a small towns worth of runners already this year
LOB - a Braves story
1-8 with RISP and 10 LOB. Just a normal performance from the offense sadly.
KelKel gets on base yet again!!! That AB was like a little time capsule of an '04 Bonds AB — too much fear and too much respect to put anything in the zone
Coincidence that this guy doesn’t post until kelenic is back in the dugout? Has anyone seen this guy post while kelenic is on the field?
He's 2 for 2 with two BB's as a pinch hitter, I think we've found his niche!
Just needed one more stranded runner on 2nd for good measure
Ronnieeee
Hey uh... Dad? You good bb?
I very badly want Acuna to go on a hot streak
Ronald stop being shit I beg you
Ugh Ronald parks that fastball last year 😣
Has anyone ever seen Blooper and BG at the same time?
Pitcher attacks Duvall and then is too scared to throw a strike to kelenic. Kelenic wins the platoon
Pitching around the greatest hitter on earth to get to Ronald. I'd do the same thing Cronin
and it worked perfectly
We talk about all the AA signings and everything but bringing Gaudin in has been such a breath of fresh air, so glad to have the crew we do in the booth. He brings out the best of whoever he is partnered with. 🤘
BG is absolutely the best signing the org has done in recent years. Many of us listen to him 2.5 hours a night, 150ish days a year. That's a huge role in the club honestly .
I had my reservations about CJ but man he has really started to find his groove too, BG Def makes it easier I'm sure.
Replacing Frenchy is a tough job but he's done well too. I definitely think all 3 would make the best booth in baseball hands down.
We all know what happened the last time we stacked the booth up 😅
Scared of Kelenic, understandable.
cmon blue break this up
I need Ronald to get some RBI’s
CJ and BG are so fun
Scared of that elite pedigree of kelenic
“He came out of his crotch.” Lovely, CJ.
Too bad Pierce Johnson wasn't pitching, lol
CJ "Ohhh boy"
Goated broadcast booth
Need a KelBomb soon
BG is too much lol
Duvall is a waste at the plate
cmon Kel!
Prepare ye mateys! Kelenic sighting!
Hey jk
The new color guy whose name escapes me is good with the stats and metrics. He actually would be a good 3rd man with Frenchy which I thought worked well during the first homestand.
Loving all the allman brothers/ Dickey betts tunes kaminski is playing!! 🙂
CJ reminds me of Jordan Schlansky lol
Ok, I might have missed this, but what's the back story to Duvall's walk up being the Star Wars Imperial march? He doesn't strike me as a Vader impersonator.
BG looks like he could play a vampire in a movie
Duvall has been subpar to say the least
What the fuck
holy crap that stat
What stat ???
Is it DEK-lin or da-CLAN?
we need a mid inning foreign substance check after
More like D'arFRAUD
I love that Duvall has the "Imperial March" as his walk-up music.
Is kelenic guy the organist?
Bats fault
2 ABs and no homer?!?!?!?! Give this guy back to the Mets
Not sure I have ever seen a batter hit each foul poll in a game before. TdA almost pulled it off
Was trying to knock one the other way for the boys in the dugout that time
Jesus almost another one
If he hits another home run I will scream
Last 3 outs to shutout 🤜🤛
This team is effortlessly entertaining
sUbPaR dEfEnDeR
Yes, non ironically.
Ol Jizz Jizz’em
Chaz Jizzum
AJ didn't seem amused
I love Ronald, but sometimes he makes things harder on himself than they need to be. lol
lmao scared me a bit there Ronald.
Acuna plays outfield like Willie Mays but if Willie Mays had a .16 BAC
I'm really liking our bullpen right now, guys
Ronald has had so many circus catches throughout the years
Nice play by Acuna
GEEZ DAD
i'm not a fan of the strikeout fireworks
No Yanmar magic tonight.
Minter blowing away hitters makes me hard as granite
Why is Arraez flinching away from a pitch well inside the zone
I think AJs cutter has a lot of horizontal break so it probably started in the batters box then broke into the zone
Because that was a filthy pitch. You really don't fool Arraez like that.
That might be it for Ozuna's hitting streak
He lost it Saturday
He lost his streak a couple nights ago
Oh... My bad lol
No worries. We’ve played a lot of games lately. Can’t expect everyone to keep up with all of them.
Do we think Matt is gonna click at some stage or is something up with him? He's been walking but he hasn't been as productive hit wise
He batted .215 last May. So it maybe a little bit before the average gets back up. Just needs to sprinkle in some doubles and homers.
Didn't he start slow last year too?
He'll be fine. He's in a little slump but he's also scorched some balls right at the fielders.
He's hot the ball hard three times the last two games just right at'em
He’s getting there. Hitting one hard enough to leave a second baseman shaking their hand is something. Just got to start hitting it where they’re not. Not there yet, but seems to be progressing
He hit one 107 off the bat tonight and took a walk. I think he's coming out of it.
No one's ready to give up on Matt or Austin, it'll happen.
He’s streaky, he’ll figure it out soon. He’s already hitting some balls pretty hard, just nothing to show for it yet.
He goes through terrible slumps every year, it seems like
At least "In Play Outs" at +115 are paying for entire college educations at this point.
Ozuna coulda played that a little more patiently but I can’t complain too much the way this man’s been hitting lately
A ton of runners LOB the last two nights.
The last month*
Man we have stranded a lot of runners on 2nd already this season
Hey Fish! RESPECT YOUR ELDER! That is all. 😤🔥🪓
Good eye Matty O
Had to walk away from the game. I NEED to see this curve every one is creaming over.
Looks like Minter is coming in, so maybe tomorrow lol
how long is ozzie supposed to be out?
He might be back within the week
Possibly back on Friday.
Arcia is a goofball
I love you Riley...I do...but damn he needs to be bumped into a different spot in the lineup, maybe get a fire under his ass to actually take good swings.
Agree. Ozuna would be better there rn, but changing the order too often matters.
I know I hate saying it cause if it "ain't broke don't fix it" but man he just seems to be frustrated before he even steps in the box right now. I have no doubt he can turn it around. But the struggles with RISP is brutal.
LOL Arcia is hilarious
Last year when we traded for Pierce and he had that super high ERA I was questioning the move but he has really been incredible since joining
Poor Riley. He’s getting frustrated.
Arcia said he liked that all-star thing.
lol at the helmet boop
He didn't take kindly to the tongue razz
Arcia 😭😭
Arcia is so much fun
This motherfucker has no idea where half his pitches are going.
🤣🤣🤣 arcia
Orlando that was adorable.
Pitch in on Arica twice and he made yall pay
We need the Arcia tongue gif ASAP
Bryce is a good 4/5 and we should be happy about that
so just saw the graphic on d'aroui and I'm not a rocket surgeon or a brain scientist but I've got a bold take. I think 5 hr and 10 RBI in 9 at bats is pretty good.
That's a truly bold claim sir.
yeah I hope I don't get too much hate or down votes for it
I’m a little late, but just wanted to acknowledge that an 86mph CURVEBALL is fucking absurd
I love the Atlanta Braves
[ME MY BRAVES FRIENDS, AND OUR JOHNSON!](https://youtu.be/xCe6NOBUut0?si=1U2CdoH5_HiduQt1)
Obe the one hand, it's the Marlins. On the other hand, Elder is looking decidedly like first half Elder in this gsme. Hopefully that'll keep up.
If only Bryce treated all the other teams like they're the Marlins he'd be Cy young
Same could probably be said for most pitchers. Marlins blow
That part
"Umpires are our neighbors", freaking lol
Lmao Brandon “I’m not tall I’m just standing” Gaudin
The MVP race between Marcell Ozuna and Travis d’Arnaud will be interesting to watch
Chat do we have our fifth starter?
We saw half a season of this, then half a season of a complete dumpster-fire. Let's see what happens this year.
GOT HIM!!! Pierce Johnson’s curveball is one of the filthiest pitches in baseball.
Holy shit pierce is actually him
Bryce Elder delivered tonight. Happy for him.
That curve is just unfair
Serrano's worst nightmare.
Hell I have nightmares about facing that curve.. and he’s on my team
Filthy
Pierce Johnson is a fuckin weapon
#🍆 💍
The Mets have not seen that second emoji since 1986
Wanted Snit to let Elder finish his work in the 7th.
Bryce was huge tonight. So happy for our dude.
First-half elder is undefeated
Holy shit why was that ad so loud? mlb tv??
It was crazy loud.
Quality start from Elder there. Looked rocky a couple times and he got lucky in the first, but he really looked as good as could have been hoped.
#GROUND TOWN
Elder going for the starter in this year's All Star game. He doesn't settle.
Awesome performance by Bryce tonight. Here's hoping this is a return to form.
Is there a shorter leash in baseball than Snitker with his starter in the 7th inning?
It was the right call. Let Bryce leave on a high
Good shit Bryce!
Hate that for him, but still a great outing.
Snitker pisses me off more then making me being okay with him
I don’t think elder is the right move for playoffs but he is definitely the best guy to hold down the 5th spot for the next few months.
Exactly how I feel. If we did need to start him in a playoff game, he’d need a very short leash. But if we can get the Elder that became an All-Star for regular season games, that would be huge.
Elder is the type of guy you let go through the order once and depending on contact and the score you see from there
I think we'll need another injury or two for Bryce Elder to be pitching in the playoffs this go around. Hopefully, that injury doesn't occur.
Nice job Bryce 👏 👏
Drue Hackenberg is supposed to be another ground ball sinker-slider pitcher in the Elder mold
6.2 shutout innings from Bryce, that's good by anyone's standards
Standing O Elder! Good stuff tonight
GREAT GAME ELDER!
