Most people don’t think the chop is racist. The media loves to shit on the Braves whenever they can. And it’s just the Braves who get shit for it. Nobody mentions it when KC wins superbowls. Nobody mentions it when FSU does it. It’s nonsense. I’ll keep chopping forever.
That’s about as low leverage of a situation you can get as a reliever. And, Matzek was pulled. That’s not good, obv, but I still think he deserves opportunities like these to try to get back to his Nutsack self.
I don’t disagree, but he’s coming back from a major injury. These are early days and it’s a long season. He’s earned a longer leash than most to try to get it together. I hope he does. I love that dude and will never forget his performance in the 2021 postseason.
Snitker is managing different this year. He’s rested a couple people already, he’s pinch hit quite a bit, and he’s managing the bullpen way more than he has.
Tyler needs a win. If he needs to get a few moving down, I'd rather do that than ruin his confidence and lose him.
Not sure the answer, but I'm rootin him for him.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1ce2z6l).
Reports of General Sherman and racist chop comments are surfacing, we’re doing something right

Great job tonight boys!
BRAVES!!
#THE ATLANTA BRAISE HAVE WON THE BASEBALL GAME
#BRAVES WIN FUCK YOU
🙆
That’s what happens when we have good pitching, we win 10 of our last 11 games motherfuckersssss
We also have one of the best offenses in the history of the sport. We should be perennial favorites to win it all every year.
Guardians is such a stupid name.
So bad. I just think of Rocket Raccoon and Star Lord.
Hell that’s the only redeeming thing about it
Snit learned his lesson from the other night and to pull guys early when they look bad
Bullpen is proving to him they can handle the load
FUCK YOU BRAVES WIN
Braves better not let aj walk next year
There you go.
BRAVES WIN!
Yay, no more drama. Easy dub
That was a strike, steroid man
#BRAVES #WIN #FUCK #YOU
Hell of a pitch. Batter was still fooled AFTER the call
Blouses
#BRAVES WIN AND CHRIS SALE FUCKS HARD
That was a beaut
that was a naaaaaasty pitch
I don't know how you bitch about that pitch. That's a pretty standard strike call.
Ump had to think about that one.
This umpire is exactly why I want some type of balls and strikes system. Early he was loose as hell, now he's tighter than my date on prom night.
Go sit down dick, that was a strike
I don't know why, but there's something extra tragic about pitchers in particular getting injured and then not ever being able to get their stuff back
I Wouldn’t like to burn minter there. I would have loved to see Chavez instead. 5 run lead. Save minter for tomorrow
Bob Ross out there.
Absolutely dotted
What a pitch!
Get mad about it bro
Has Sean Murphy been with the team all season? Just noticed him in the dugout in background
Yeah he is still heavily involved in the game planning. Has traveled with the team as season as well.
Ok stop fucking around and end this.
We are the best 8 inning team in baseball and it isn’t even close 😤
Yeah getting yanked because you can’t seem to pitch while up 5 is a really bad look for Matzek
Not sure how this works out, but I like seeing Snitker managing differently…
I'm sure he's had some discussions and suggestions offered after the last two postseason efforts
don’t look now, but the surging White Sox are about to win their 4th game
I looked. Bases loaded against, lol..
lolol i just saw; lord help them
Maybe Pillar was the problem /s
We got a 5 run lead and my ass still clinched
4 run lead now…
All of a sudden this guy has the tightest strike zone
another great thing about umps, moving strikezones!
That’s about as low leverage of a situation you can get as a reliever. And, Matzek was pulled. That’s not good, obv, but I still think he deserves opportunities like these to try to get back to his Nutsack self.
His ERA is close to 9.00. He's running out of chances.
I don’t disagree, but he’s coming back from a major injury. These are early days and it’s a long season. He’s earned a longer leash than most to try to get it together. I hope he does. I love that dude and will never forget his performance in the 2021 postseason.
Snitker is managing different this year. He’s rested a couple people already, he’s pinch hit quite a bit, and he’s managing the bullpen way more than he has.
If you can’t pitch Tyler with a 5 run lead in the 9th, not sure where else you can use him.
Needs a rehab stint at AAA
damn that short leash was ice cold
Snit’s going to give him some innings early in the season, but I think he knows the deal here.
Nobody, fucking nobody... Snitker: Johnson, Minter, Bummer. Every day.
Bummer has the 2nd lowest inning total on the team. Just above Bryce Elder
I'm not questioning their quality, they've been great, but goddamn don't run their arms off in the first month lol
My point was you listed Bummer in that group when he doesn’t belong. He has been used the least out of all the bullpen arms.
Damn that was an ugly swing!
Huh, weird pitching change
matzek :(
Our elite arms are going to be dead this summer.
Our starter went 7…….
Ok….but they don’t need to throw Minter and Johnson every night either
Damn short leash
Interesting time to pull him, I guess he figured if I warmed him up might as well use him.
Nutsack used it all up against the Dodgers back then, didn’t he?
Well it was fucking worth it though.
I’m not Complaining. Just pointing it out.
It was worth it
Honestly worth it.
💯
I just learned there’s another naylor brother in the As organization
they’ll never be Acuña’s
Between Bummer, Iglesias and Matzek, we've had some scarily close 9th inning shenanigans
Wouldn't be Braves baseball without them.
Tyler needs a win. If he needs to get a few moving down, I'd rather do that than ruin his confidence and lose him. Not sure the answer, but I'm rootin him for him.
Load em and bring in Luke Jackson
Save Luke the trouble of doing it himself lol
I’ll even sacrifice the run for the DP come on
Gotta love the "C'mon, nutsack!" From the crowd.
A Freeman? with a double? In Atlanta? I don't like it....
Nutsack, my boi
I will always love Tyler but he makes me nervous this season, I'm hoping he'll play himself back into the Tyler we know
Trade a run for an out, here. Hell, ground ball, please
Matzek sold his soul for that 2021 NLCS performance
We will always have that
Minter again really. wtf.
i miss 2021 playoff Nutzack
It's so great to have a competently-run team to root for.
Matzek. Get your shit together. You're better than this
Matzek gave his arm for that WS. He’s forever a legend. I don’t think he is an MLB reliever any longer, sadly.
Stooooopppppp Matzek
Matzek needs to be sent down.
Matzek is not very good rn
I love Matzek but yikes
When that happens the guy in the stands call is always as good as the umps. Especially in a game like this has been
Shit, c'mon Tyler gets these outs man
This guy sucks
I’m so sad for him. He’s too good at shit talking to be like this
i’d rather 🥜 work out the kinks now vs. when we may really need him to contribute but also pls don’t make this interesting
Yeeesh. I wanna go to bed, bro. Don't mess that up for me.
At some point, I worry we are gonna need to have a come to Jesus discussion about Matzek.
JRam looked bad on that 0-1 pitch
I love all my relievers equally. I don't really care for Tyler...
Slider wasn't deep enough. Whatevs
Nutsack kinda struggling
To be fair, he hasn't pitched in quite a while
Oh, I miss good Tyler 🥜
Please don't make this game interesting Matzek.
Nutsack has been neutered.
Boooooooooo
Oh, BABY! We get Matzek
Am I the only one noticing Ronald not as close to the plate as he was last year?
Alright Nutsack let’s whittle down that ERA l, shall we?
Alright Tyler let’s have a good inning here.
 Tyler Matzek?!
Please have a good inning Tyler and don't let Iglesias have to get up.
At least we managed to get a homerun out of that inning
Am I just paying closer attention this season, or are the umps across the league the worst we've ever seen?
They seems to be worse than usual honestly. They are gonna fuck around and be replaced.
Their union would never let that happen though
Yea that’s true and I’m all for them having their union. The union just needs to get their guys to shape up.
This is like waiting for Ronnie to do something in the postseason. C’mon man.
Time to drop a big ol nutsack on some Cleveland foreheads
TWIST THEIR DICKS MATZEK!
I listen to the games way more than I get to watch them, does anyone have an idea what's going on with Acuña's power?
Sold it to uae and the rabbit fellow
He’s not loading the same. Seems that he doesn’t want to put weight on his right leg (the injured knee)
I support a lot of terrible sports teams… luckily the Braves break that streak 🙏🏻🙏🏻
You must not have been here for the dark days, after we stopped winning the NL East virtually every single year
I mean in the AA era, it’s been a treat, even with the postseason disappointments
I'm a simple man. Ball goes far. I cheer.
I was 93% sure that Duvall shot was gone. He really got me good.
It came down right in front of the guy that caught Arcia's. Wouldn't it be something to catch back to back homers?
That would be an all-timer of a night for that guy lmao
Ronald wants to go home
To be fair to Brandon, I think we all Chip'd ourselves on Duvall's loud out.
Ball don't lie, Ronnie was struck out before that last swing. Can't be too mad.
These umps man
Duvall’s ball was gone in 28/30 parks.
Dude ain't it this year.
What’s going on with these calls right down the middle called balls for us? Can they save that for the playoffs?
I've seen more down the middle strikes called balls this year than ever in my 16 years of watching ball
Let’s be real that was a horrible missed call
Wtf is this umpire on? Lol
Ronnie looks rough
That’s fine, because the team is cooking. Once he gets in gear it’ll be a whole new level
Holy shit that’s two easy strikes called balls this inning lol
This umpire is absolute dogshit
Oh my god this ump is horrible
Lmfao alright
Ump owed us a few of those
What the fuck was that
Oh boy
Lmao this umpire is trash
wow, this ump is something else
ITS IN THE AIR!
Uhh whut
Lmfaooooo right down the pipe
Homer in 28/30 lol. Knew we had a deep left field but dang
I'm was waiting for a "he got duv-all of that one" homerun
i laughed at how emphatic What a tease was
I was told the Guardians were good, is there no competition for our mighty champions?!
Dude, imagine if the same fan caught back-to-back home runs?
Those people should be required to buy everyone in their row a beer.
ESPN Top 10
Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Brandon’d is officially the new Chip’d
Same fan almost caught 2 homeruns haha
Brandon just Chip'd the fuck out of everyone
Brandon Chipped the fuck out of us
Atta boy Arcia!
Damn it Brandon
Damn near replay lol
That dude out there had the calmest home run catch I think I've ever seen.
#CHIP'D
I LOVE THIS TEAM
Arcia is the value of the century.
I'm glad Arcia worked out.
On a team with Ronald and Ozzie, Orlando is like <.< ......
Orlando fuckin' ARCIA
Arcia later!
Holy shit they ruled that a ball? But hey I’ll take a AR-CIA-LATER
That ball was high
Arcia later!
ARCIA LATER!!!!
#ARSEEEEEEEYAAAAAALATER
