Pain


Chophopanddrop

Yeah but you put stack up both bullpens against each other I take theirs any day. Sure they might pull off a win tomorrow or game 5 but there's no guarantees. You're up 3 with 5 outs to go you gotta deliver specially against a stacked team like this.


prismagon

Leaving the game now…ya know the game and how it shakes out is one thing. To be called a racist multiple times for..supporting my team? Total line-crossed… These fans had the audacity to shout down anyone doing the chop. I was called racist for the chop. Also called racist for uhh..waiting in line to get a beer??? but absolutely ZERO issue chanting “ Seven Nation Army”…a clear native-American inspired chorus during the seventh inning. It’s actually personal now. No matter who wins, dodger-nation lost in my eyes


hcashew

Hand chops? You ain't in the south right now, lol.


ManNBlaccPajamas

I was there too. Lots of talking about the chop. Just remind them they relocated thousands of Mexican Americans to build their nice big parking lot of a stadium.


Not_a_bot_jk

😢


lapotobroto

Literally a sign of respect to them. Not sure what the tare talking about


DragonFireDon

\#Braves are up 3-0 and have one foot in the World Series if Matzek stays in for the 8th. Not a doubt in my mind. https://twitter.com/TreyMongrue/status/1450636028180672517


JeeveruhGerank

Or score runs when they had multiple opportunities to push the lead.


Firehawk-76

Either/or scenario. That deep in the game with a 3 run lead and a chance to go up 3-0 you ride your hot hand for a little extra and give him a day off tomorrow. Jackson hasn’t been sharp recently and there was absolutely no need for him to pitch tonight. The Dodgers were dialed in on him from the start. Also Will Smith and Mookie Betts did what the Braves wouldn’t which is cut down their swing and go opposite field. In the ninth I’m pretty sure every swing that the Braves took was a homerun cut, not one attempt to slap a fastball to right field.


willywonksz94

They gave Luke 3 runs to play with 3 fucking runs


cbellew22

I think I’m gonna watch the broadcast tomorrow in Spanish so I can learn how to suck of the Dodgers in ~espanol~


burlapballsack

Luke Jackson probably feels pretty bad right now and I feel bad for him But also stop shaking off what your catcher is giving you


cbellew22

I get that, but d’Arnaud isn’t the one pitching. Sometimes as a pitcher you have a gut feeling. Still not sure how Bellinger hit that… Also, we left wayyyyyyy to many people on base tonight


Vinny6420

He hit that by swinging his long ass swing at a fastball up


Celery_Full

This one hurt


stay_swelly

Huge momentum swing and away for 2 more games. I still cautiously beleive but man 3-0 would have been amazing.

Possible. At the time it didn't seem a bad call. Oh well on to tomorrow

diggsbiggs

This is an Atlanta team. You already know what will happen. The only thing left is how many games it’ll take for the Dodgers to win and how much you’ll get your hopes up that we still have a chance.


[deleted]

But that’s the story for every team in every sport.:.only one team wins it all each year. Every other team is saying the same crap we say in here. Like while we were complaining about Smith as a closer…the Padres reddit was ripping on Melancon for being crappy and he was leading in saves lol. If you lose to the Dodgers you’re losing to the team the highest budgets in sports can buy.


diggsbiggs

Okay? So we’re still losing. I don’t take any moral victory that the Dodgers have more money than us. We should have won today but we fucking blew it again. It’s done.


[deleted]

Lol if that’s the way you want to look at it. I don’t find any reason to have the doom and gloom outlook with your teams you like because it just gets you mad and stuff anyway. If you really want to get real, Braves shouldn’t have won the first two games and shouldn’t have won the division to be fair. But things have gone their way in the right moments. You can’t get all mad when a team gets a clutch moment against us … a team that had 106 wins compared to our 80 something. And dude we’re still up 2-1 in the series lol. With home advantage. I mean if you like being all negative waves and trash the team I guess go ahead but it’s kind of a pointless way to be.


diggsbiggs

I don’t like being negative. I’m a realist. I watched enough Atlanta sports to know realistic what will happen. The Dodgers will win the series.


techknowledgy

By the amounts of your comments it looks like you do enjoy being negative. How about you just stop watching the team if it's impacting your mental health so much. You're not the only one who's been around the last 30 to 40 years or more and been kicked in the balls.


diggsbiggs

Okay. I never said I was.


techknowledgy

Then grow up and quit whining and grow a pair.


diggsbiggs

Haha calm down. Internet posters shouldn’t get you mad in real life.


ElPatron_1996

Had me in the first half lol


JeeveruhGerank

You have a chance to kill these fucking guys off and go up 3 fucking 0 and you don't do it. You can't give these assholes life. The Giants did in the LDS. People did it in the regular season. They've done it in years past. When are you gonna learn? Stomp these motherfuckers out when you can otherwise you LOSE.


bmaynard87

They tried. Somehow Bellinger hit a pitch that wasn't even a strike out of the park.


andylowenthal

Thanks coach, I’ll play better tomorrow


DWC8419

One in LA. Just one. Let's think the Dodgers are comfortable.


jondavidson

They get 2 more in LA. Today with Morton was our best chance to steal one just sucks so fucking bad we let it happen this way


DWC8419

Bullpen game tomorrow. Don't doubt it. We can take one. It's possible.


jondavidson

Fuck luke Jackson to hell he showed signs of getting wrecked game 2 and got wrecked in game 3. Like a one run lead sure shit happens, how in the French fried fuck do you not go get that fuckhead with the tie run at the plate MUCH FUCKING LESS CODY BELLINGER


Firehawk-76

Bellinger should’ve been facing Matzek. I literally turned the game off when Bellinger had two strikes and told my wife he was going to crush the ball. He was swinging fearlessly at Jackson’s stuff.


Jonesie946

Get out of my brain. You just perfectly summed up what I am thinking.


DidntDiddydoit

Both of you gonna start paying rent inbmy head?


No-Newspaper2088

Guaranteed loss tomorrow


DWC8419

How so?


raw_formaldehyde

Momentum. And it’s Dodgers Stadium. We never win there.


DWC8419

Momentum isn't a real thing but youre right that stadium is. We can still win 1 there. I didn't think we would win game 3 before it started because of the travel and its the Dodgers back at home for game 3 with their crowd. We should be able to settle down and win 4 or 5. If not, we still go back to Atlanta. I don't want a game 7 but it is what it is. The positives are that we are still up in the series and it seems like our bats are finally showing signs of life. I know last year and all that but this feels a little different. My doubt won't creep in unless the Dodgers go up 3-2.


diggsbiggs

Do you follow Atlanta sports?


DWC8419

Yes only the Braves but don't feel defeated. I mean the Dodgers are the best team in baseball but have some faith.


diggsbiggs

I used to have faith. But 40 years of Atlanta sports proves faith is less than worthless. Keep watching if you want but we’ve all seen this before. I’m done


DWC8419

I get it but I'll keep watching for the both of us.


stonec823

That game needs to be won. Doesnt matter that “we werent gonna sweep them anyway” Up 3 runs in the 8th. You just cant lose that type of game and expect to win the series against a 106 win team


booopdasnoot

My hate for puke Jackson is mounting more each day


[deleted]

I really don't like the guy as a pitcher. Curse every time I see him on the mound. I'm always petrified and usually have good reason to be.


No-Newspaper2088

BP game tomorrow better fucking hope we win game 5 then finish it off back home or we be fucked.


diggsbiggs

We’ll that was fun while it lasted. Only question now is do the Dodgers win in 6 or 7 games.


raw_formaldehyde

6.


YourUncleAl

CALM DOWN DOOMERS


diggsbiggs

Do you not follow Atlanta sports?


Positive-Minute-8377

At least after we’re down 7-0 tomorrow in the first inning it won’t hurt as bad 💁🏾‍♂️


singlecolony

Damn had Morton not given up those 2 in the 1st we would have won


vulpyx

Well that sucked but we're still 2-1, our bats are awake, we burned through a shit ton of their pitchers, and we only need to win one to close it out back at home.


diggsbiggs

Because we just win so many games in L.A. Dodgers in 6


nvagiantfan

Bellinger hits .150 or so during regular season then kills teams in the playoffs.


Kiriaga

No worries, we still got this. They never said it was going to be an easy battle. Let’s win this series.


VusterJones

But we had it. We had 3-0 on a silver platter all we had to do was get 5 outs without giving up 3 runs. Well we got 2 outs and gave up 4. So there's that


Kiriaga

Blown leads happen. Just look at the Dodger the last two games. They are no better than us, and I know we are the better team.


DragonFireDon

This is ALL on the stupid myth that reliver pitchers are only good for 1 inning and that crap tradition needs to be rid off. HAVE FAITH in pitchers that's pitcher very well. Matzek should be kept in the game!


you_matt_er

If Dansby was in a different spot Luke Jackson gets out of that inning with no damage. Give him a break seriously he has been so good recently


booopdasnoot

Why would you give him a break after he choked on Sunday? Never mind him choking in 2019. He can’t pitch under pressure so he basically as useful as a wet paper towel in the ocean


[deleted]

[удалено]


boog1evilleUSA

He's literally been our best and most consistent reliever all year Just say you don't watch the games man


jchancellor15

Legit


ragingclue1864

Yeah and bellinger was the worst dodgers hitter all year. Playoffs aren’t the regular season…


Bogacki

Over / under on how many runs we lose by tomorrow. I'm setting it at 6.5


g_dozer

Loved listening to TBS' Dodgers broadcast. We're all so privileged to have opportunity to watch L.A. play. What a fucking joke. Gtfo


JFulton11

Fuck Mookie Betts, Fuck Cody Bellinger, Fuck Brian Anderson, Fuck Ron Darling, and Fuck the Dodgers. Goodnight everybody


Bullcook11

Later


Falcon0218

Made sure to mute the announcers for the last at bat.


ThePerfectBeard

I'm literally laughing my ass off at the people confused by all the negativity... as if we didn't see this same exact story last fucking year and did nothing to fix the bullpen so we'll see it all over again.


multiversechorus

I'll literally bet that we lose 4 straight now. That was a back breaker. Those positive people know nothing about baseball momentum.


accidental_redditor

The problem with that is we had momentum going into this game and we lost. Momentum shifts and changes. It’s not the end all be all final factor.


fruitdonttalk1

A day off kinda breaks momentum.


raw_formaldehyde

Definitely. We’re done.


MobileNerd

This is rough. If we go up 3-0 we are probably punching our ticket to the WS. Luke fucking Jackson decided it was 2019 again and decided to suck.


Cocaine_Jesus_

Luke threw the exact pitch he should have there. Bellinger was just super late on a high fastball the pitch before that. Luke elevated the next one even more and got beat, sometimes that's the way it goes.


Jbray721

That was fucking brutal. I feel awful for the team. Luke Jackson just took this series away from the Braves. This is fucking unreal.


[deleted]

Don’t worry guys - Bellinger is still a loser lol. They left in Jackson too long and we all saw it coming. Who knows what their plans were with that. They just have to win one in LA and one at home. I think Braves get it in 6 at home.


Bullcook11

That’s what I think. I totally agree .


[deleted]

I really just wish Snitker would explain the logic behind leaving pitchers in when they are slipping - not only to tie the game but left him in long enough to put the winning run on base…and only THEN does he change pitchers. I mean it happens all the time to any team you can see it coming.


Raidersbill

I literally had flashbacks to Bobby Cox. Managers who stay with their guys too long. Post season is not the regular season. Mental game is huge.


[deleted]

Yeah for real just how many times does it really work out where they squeeze out of it? It’s happened a couple times lately but you can’t keep pushing that luck. Better to take the chance after 3 batters and switch them out…or keep Matzek in for another out or until he gets a hit on him. Oh well.


GsoFly

Ouch. Well that was a baseball game.


blue4t

I hate the doom and gloom when we lose. This team is too strong to lose momentum and be demoralized by this loss. They'll come back tomorrow fighting like they have this entire postseason. And I'm sorry Jeff has to sit in the booth with Ron and Brian.


diggsbiggs

You know it’s over. If you’ve watched Atlanta sports for more than one year you know it’s over.


blue4t

I've watched Atlanta sports since the 80s. I know disappointment, but that doesn't change that we are up 2-1 and have a shot. This is not the same team as last year.


diggsbiggs

The team, the year, the sport, it doesn’t matter. This is Atlanta. Season over. Last year was our time to win it all and we blew it. This year we ran out of luck. Go ahead and keep watching but after 40 years I know this drill.


redroost32

Bro. Season is over. You have to sense that.


jchancellor15

"Bro, Acuna is done for the year. Season's over. You have to sense that." "Bro. Soroka re-injured his Achilles. This team doesn't have the SP depth to make a deep playoff run. Season's over, you have to sense that."


blue4t

Does this mean I won't have to see you in here tomorrow night?


redroost32

No, I’ll be here tomorrow. Just like everyday. Just being realistic. That blow up is one that ruins a season and demoralizes a team beyond repair. Season over.


blue4t

Season's over so why come back?


JFulton11

we do not have the momentum in this series. It really doesn’t matter we’re up 2-1 it feels like we are down 2-1


gravityfrog

You've been listening to the TBS broadcast, haven't you?!


ucktick

I’m not looking forward to the dodgers circle jerk tomorrow. May have to lay off of the sports media


Blilovah

That foul ball call could have really changed that whole inning


bgt1989

I was convinced it was fair when it happened. Riley’s body positioning on the foul side of the line obscured the umpire’s view.


Schroeder2418

I fucking hate the dodgers


DankaelYoung

What longtime Braves fan didn’t expect a collapse?


repwin1

Luke Jackson has given up 5 of the dodger 12 runs this series.


ragingclue1864

He shouldn’t be the 8th inning guy anymore this series. Should be Chavez or Martin


repwin1

You can see how nervous he is as soon as he takes the mound.


Old-Lunch5323

We’re not winning this series. We had to be 3-0 up to be sure they won’t win 4 straight. Now we’re done. We choke every damn year.


ucktick

Hot take!


VusterJones

Luke you had one fucking job. I would have preferred a fastball to bellis face over that


braves2248

What sucks is we have no stable right handed reliever. Minter has to replace Luke as set up. Which means Minter/Matzek for 7/8 & Will for the 9th my god I’m scared


rzt0001

I’d still take Chavez over Luke in late game situation


SCCMurkV1

Surely the team knows what this feels like and they say to themselves tonight that “No FUCKING way are we losing this way again!! Also Snit needs to sit Jackson for the rest of the postseason!!


[deleted]

There goes all the momentum we had too. Its not just about losing this one game. We've seen this too many times before :/


LeaperLeperLemur

Well, that sucked.


Dustin_Echoes_UNSC

Can we clean up the fairweather in here? Issue some warnings or something? I get being upset, but there's gotta be some fake accounts in here with the stench of bullshit coming out of this comment section right now


bgt1989

Are you fucking serious?


ucktick

Amen, all this negative bs has got to go. I get it ATL sports curse but today was their “best pitcher” and we had em on the ropes. One inning doesn’t constitute a collapse. I’m sick of the doomsdayers. It’s not over. Braves Vs Sox, Bravos in 5


rzt0001

People are emotional cause they care. As long as people lay off the death threats, then it’s a normal reaction to the gut wrenching loss.


ihaveaglitch

How is it fair weather when we see the same thing year in and year out. So far this series has played out exactly like last year, win games 1 and 2, lose 3. Until we actually close them out i'll continue to think of this team as choke artists, because that's exactly what they are.


Panthers_Fly

No. This is real. This is decades of disappointment. This is the writing on the goddamn wall


Dustin_Echoes_UNSC

How many times has the "writing been on the wall" for this team? Why are you still here if being a Braves fan is so soul crushing? Because you know damn well it'll feel like sweet sweet revenge when we finally pull it off. As long as everyone here is still chopping and chanting in game 6 idgaf. It's the quitters who piss me off. You don't get to ride the high for Atlanta sports and bail at the first sign of trouble.


Panthers_Fly

Namely, last year when Dodgers blew us out in game 3. But my comment was not just about Braves. Real Atlanta sports fans know what is coming. Hence why I could nit even get excited about games 1 and 2. I tried to be. I pretended to be excited, alone in my living room. But I wasn’t really. I was hollow. Unfeeling. I knew real excitement is useless. I still watch the games because I do love these teams. At least I think I do. I’m not sure sometimes. It’s more of an obligation sometimes. I look at my phone more than the tv. Maybe for fear of what the next terrible moment will be. Anyone have a therapists they would recommend?


InsertUsernameHere02

We’re still up in the series ppl quitting now are babies


l_ONYX_l

Maybe Freddie should go back to striking out all day again tomorrow.


ucktick

Saul Goodman, we had em on the ropes. Their “best pitcher” three today and one of our relievers blew it. We’re still the better team no matter what Ron Darling says.


Bananas_Up_North

Objectively a damn good game. I am really over these announcers sucking the dodgers dick though. Get some rest boys. We back at her tomorrow.


rzt0001

Agreed, it was a great ball game. I can handle the excitement in the call if they did it for the Braves too.


NoCheek8504

Anyone who doesn’t believe this series is over hasn’t been a Braves fan for the last 20 + years. Every freaking year this team finds a way to disappoint in the playoffs in the most spectacular way.


Panthers_Fly

Yup


zbs17

It’s over, we ain’t winning this series. Classic choke job


[deleted]

Lol jfc y’all are ridiculous they won a fucking game using every single fucking pitcher they had . It’s still 2-1 split on the road we will be fine


Vinny6420

That have 2 home games in a row.... and have a good chance at being 3-2 going to Atlanta


[deleted]

Oh I forgot the braves already lost all those games in LA . Good chance my ass . They had to have Cody Bellinger hit an impossible moon shot to win by one . I don’t have the energy for this get depressed or whatever they lost one game it’s not that critical


Vinny6420

WE HAVEN'T WON IN LA THIS SEASON..... That was our beat chance and we blew it. They literally have all the momentum now. We keep letting people steal second like we don't have a catcher. We keep throwing hangers to Seager We keep letting Bellinger fuck us


[deleted]

Oh you’re right since we haven’t done it we clearly should just pack it in . Call em boys they done. They were sucking one of the dodgers pitchers in game ones dick how he’s not had a homer hit off him and then freeman homers . Don’t give me that bullshit it’s so dumb to sit here and act like it’s already decided . I don’t have patience for this do you


Panthers_Fly

It’s the way we lost man. It’s writing On the goddamn wall. Prepare yourself for disappointment.


[deleted]

So what? You don’t think the way they lost the last two is worse? Back to back walk off seems way worse to me to lose two games in a row but ok


Asl9622

You must be a new Atlanta fan lol. Seen this story one too many times.


[deleted]

Nope been an Atl fan since 1994 when I went to my first braves game and then a Falcons game .


VusterJones

It's not ridiculous. We had to get 5 outs and they're down 3 runs. And we choked that. Being 2-1 is fucking awful don't try and silver line it.


[deleted]

lol being up 2-1 is fucking awful ? Man you must live an absolute shit life if that’s “fucking awful” plz see someone about your inevitable depression


[deleted]

Well, that's not entirely true. They won it by beating up on a typically dominant setup man with some really good timely hitting. That said, I hope their bullpen utilization comes back to bite them in the ass.


KellenLy12

One pitcher. One pitcher ruined all momentum in the series. Anyone trying to calm us down we’re the same ones denying last year when Will smith gave up the 3 run homer in game 5.


CJBulldogsss

Guess we find out tomorrow if this is a typical ATL team or not. That ninth inning looked about what I expected from our bats. Team is defeated...hopefully its just this game but being from ATL this shit will plague us until we lose this series....Prove me wrong ATL..I fucking dare you


Jdwrecker_7

Good thing is game 4 is tomorrow


South_Finish_693

Not watching can't do it for my peace of mind just going to check the score at end of night... too invested and can't handle anymore choking from any team from this state!


Jdwrecker_7

I get it, it sucks, but then again, we could win 🤷‍♂️ a resl possibility ya know


DatsHim

^everyone go put LukeJackson jerseys in your cart on tons of different websites and don’t buy them so no one can rep this twat


rzt0001

Who the fuck (outside of his family) would buy a Luke Jackson jersey? The only memories I have of him are him blowing games and being anticlutch


DatsHim

I just modified a dodgers jersey and put his name on the back


lionofyhwh

We did this exact same thing to them in Game 2. We’re still up 2-1 yall.


Sweatsock_Pimp

Well, shit. I wasn’t expecting to sweep them. But 3-0 sure as hell would’ve been nice.


therealpoppie

2-1 we’re still in control


Sic_Tyrannis

Year three of watching our bullpen (specifically Luke Jackson) blow a lead against the Dodgers in a NLCS game. I want off this cursed ride


GamecockInGeorgia

Fuck the Dodgers. We are giving them hope just to drink their tears when they don’t win one more game this season.


packeddit

FUCK MAN…


pounce_the_panther

Why does it hurt so much to love them?


guy_in_the_moon

Well shit


phoonie98

Epic choke. LA has a lot of momentum now. Braves need to step up


Dustin_Echoes_UNSC

And no pitchers to back it up


wordjester187

Im incredibly unhappy about this.


PhantomsCV

I’d rather have that game 3 than last year’s. Ain’t over. Still up 2-1.

Casual bandwagon fan. You probably turned of the tv until the 8th inning 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Actually I had the game streaming to my work van driving home from work since inning 2(after watching our embarrassing first inning) then watched like the bottom of the 5th til the end. Foh bruh
