Not the time for Acuna to go onto one of his 3 game swoons. Now Albies and Riley K. They look overmatched right now. Hopefully Wheeler makes a few mistakes and we can take advantage. At least Riley hung in there.

I know it’s only 1-0 2nd inning…. But I’m at my breaking point with the Braves. I’ve watched as many games as I could in the last 15-20 years.. so much failure in October. In October of ‘21 I was in a place without TVs/news etc for 3 months and didn’t even find out the Braves had won the WS until I got out in January of ‘22…. Meant a lot less not being able to watch/follow. So to me (I know the fallacy in my logic but…) they haven’t won since ‘95. Regardless, I don’t know how much more I can handle this. I really really hope they turn it on in this game. Im at my wits end. Take a deep breath and calm down. It's just a game and team we like, don't turn it into more than that. Life will go on whether they win or lose so just try to chill a little and go with the flow. Enjoy the excitement and root for the Braves to pull it out.

What? Make you keep throwing fast balls when that is what the batters are looking for?? I was referring to him not having it tonight. Nothing to do with fastballs. It might take a bit for him to get going after the layoff. At least only 1 so not disastrous. Gotcha.

Wheeler is a straight up ace. He's the guy you rely on to stop the bleeding. And 95% of the time, he does. Our guys? Welp, all you can do is hope. Unreal...

Braves look like they're pressing trying to make something happen instead of just letting it happen. In 2021 they were underdogs and looked loose (kind of like the Phillies look).

Acuna now 0-16 in playoffs dating back to last year. How can a guy that good not have a hit in 16 ab's? Maybe someone should tell him this is when it counts...

Unfortunately Realmuto, who has struggled most of the year, and the Phillies seem to be hot and the Braves not. That's the way it goes in the playoffs. Good teams beat great teams when they're on a roll.

Tough going in two years in a row with jacked up starting pitching.
Fried asked to come back after not throwing in a game for 18 days.
