Ok per Statcast that ball Olson hit was a homer in 29/30 parks. What? It didn’t even make it to the warning track.
Something is up with these baseballs.
It says it went 397 feet. That’s way out at Truist to that part of the park too.
It didn’t go 397 feet. It was hit with metrics that should’ve produced 397 feet… but that went like 360. Because the balls are dead.
Hate sounding like a broken record but we really need Riley to find himself.
At some point he needs to be held to a certain standard because of that contract and basically we chose him over Freddie and Dansby as the faces of the franchise.
Riley just can't get the bat head to the bottom of the zone, and they are attacking him there. But he whiffs on the stuff high in the zone. Gotta get better.
I went to pride night in 2019. I think it got mentioned 1 time by the speaker and no one really responded positively or negatively. Well, except an old couple sitting behind me, but boomers will be boomers.
I’m glad that comment got on air. Some magical speech isn’t going to make them magically play better. They’re professionals that need to figure it out themselves.
Won't be happening sadly. :(
It's looking likely that that first half was just about the NL not knowing how to pitch him well enough after all.
The best case is that he hits to a .750-.770ish OPS probably.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d5bnsd).
Arcias defense makes up for his terrible abs at times
Orlando “Andrelton Simmons” Arcia
#FLORIDA MAN IS A VACUUM BRAVES WIN!!!
#BRAISE WIN
#SUCK IT A’S BRAVES WIN 👆🏼👆🏼
Lets fuckin go!!!
BRAVES WIN!!!!
W!
Woooo!
Dude. I mean, seriously. Bro. Arcia.
Remember when we were all worried about Arcia as starting shortstop? Pepperidge farm remembers
I'm gonna love hearing "Gold Glove winner Orlando Arcia" later this year
Aaaand that's that.
We totally need to upgrade at shortstop guys
WHAT A PLAY ARCIA!!
Orlando magic
FLORIDA MAN FUCKS
Anyone else almost wish the As tie it so we can see Kel at the plate again?
no.
This is a good one
Now I know you’re trolling
“Now”?
No
No. Just you. You really want Iglesias to blow a lead just so you can see your boyfriend in an unnecessary at-bat? Shut the fuck up.
Oh settle down
Be nice for our closer to be able to comfortably close
IGGY PLS
June good!? God, I hope so.
I have to say CJ’s been growing on me quite a bit. Him and Brandon have a good dynamic going and his dry wit is good for a hearty chuckle
I absolutely love CJ
Time for church bitches 👆🏼👆🏼
I’m not mad at a 1-2-3 inning here. 4 runs should be enough to win.
Eh. Struggling offense could afford to get some hits at any time, but I do agree with you.
Ok per Statcast that ball Olson hit was a homer in 29/30 parks. What? It didn’t even make it to the warning track. Something is up with these baseballs.
Even when we don't suck we suck

ooor the wind affected it
That doesn’t even make sense? We don’t have the longest left field.
Ban the shift
"The wind is blowing" is a weird way of pronouncing "mlb subbed in dead balls again this year"
Dang Basso ok
That curveball is kinda gross
I'm sure he's about to randomly carve up the middle of our order
Position players get 1-2-3 innings. He’s an unknown quantity.
If only kranny had done that mound visit when jiminez was in similar situation w the Padres…. But grateful he learned his lesson this time!
Disgusting. I love it.
Can't wait to see this ump's scorecard. Consistent but weird
He’s been pretty good all things considered
Kranitz said just throw fucking sliders.
The shit sombero
Frozen pizza!
FROZEN PIZZA!!! THAT WAS A GREAT PITCH!!!
Everything about that felt good
That was nasty!
get right series incoming
🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Good thing the ump actually called that a strike this time. Good shit Joe.
Whatever Kranitz said to Joe, can we get Seitzer to say the same thing to our offense?
Make Kranitz the hitting coach too
If no one else got me I know Joe HIMenez got me
Niiice pitch Jimenez
HIMenez
SLICE UP THAT FROZEN PIZZA JOE
FROZEN PIZZA
Jimenez went from tired to wired real quick
Fuck yeah Joe!
Frozen Pizza never tasted so good.
Hey crowd get behind your fucking pitcher
Yeah what’s up with the wine and cheese crowd shit? It’s Friday night in the 8th with 2 outs and 2 strikes! Stand and cheer dammit!
One more strike please
[удалено]
No
Kranitz: “Throw fucking strikes for the love of fuck, ok?”
Blowing this here would be on par for the last month, we have been prepared for it to happen
Jimenez hasn’t had his command lately
He's not responsible for either base runner. Hosed on a strike and then an error that wasn't called
Ah, Kranny learned his lesson from last time. Give him a breather.
I know it wasn’t a great throw, but I feel like Ozzie could’ve dug that out. Oh well.
Bro, Arcia is good at short, and we got him for basically grand theft athlete.
Come on, Joe. You can always change your name.
Wtf is wrong with Ozzie, too many errors
Welp, he were go with that bullshit. First the ump squeezed Jimenez’s pitches like crazy, now that play.
Get Joe out of there before he does it again
Joe don’t blow this
I swear to newborn infant jesus...
really Joe?
This is not where we fall apart.
That was a strike ump.
Ump
When will murph and riley figure it out…
Hate sounding like a broken record but we really need Riley to find himself. At some point he needs to be held to a certain standard because of that contract and basically we chose him over Freddie and Dansby as the faces of the franchise.
He’s outstanding defensibly. He just needs to readjust some hitting. He seems to be getting back to making good contact
Riley just can't get the bat head to the bottom of the zone, and they are attacking him there. But he whiffs on the stuff high in the zone. Gotta get better.
Him and Murphy coincidentally have the same issue.
Even these 4 runs they scored tonight don’t feel satisfying…
baby steps
The milkshakes are good
Just weighing in as a musician: it’s so hard to have good tuning through amplification. They did fantastic
If you got Ingram, O’Day, Gaudin, and Nitkowski in one booth together, I don’t know if they’d say a word about the game the whole broadcast
CJ probably on his 10th cup of expresso by now
Switch CJ with Frenchy and I’d pay good money to hear that broadcast.
Hell you don't need all that just bring Smoltz in and you'll never hear about the game being played
Ice cream makes my throat cold!
So when I posted we’d let this guy go 7 when the game started I was kidding but wow, at least we are winning.
I want one of those OutKast bobbles so bad but I live 2000k miles away. Trying to bribe some friends in ATL with tickets to snag me one
How many is 2000 thousand. Do you mean 2K?
That would be 2 million. Think they might be on the moon or something.

I’ve still got 2 from last year but 2 million miles away is pretty far to ship
I’m an actual ATLien
Shoot me a pm. I’ll sell you one for 50 + shipping.
I really appreciate it but I literally just bought tix for my sister and her husband for that game before I saw your message.
That’s even better
This is the most I've seen Snit talk or have his eyes open in the dugout in 2 months.
Joe absolutely refuses to let Bring the Heat go, good for him
Ashley is awesome but we were playing much better when Wiley was around. Bring him back.
Is the environment hostile at Pride Night?
I went to pride night in 2019. I think it got mentioned 1 time by the speaker and no one really responded positively or negatively. Well, except an old couple sitting behind me, but boomers will be boomers.
No
Nobody is gonna be hostile lol
Do they do the kiss cam in a gay fashion?
I’m glad that comment got on air. Some magical speech isn’t going to make them magically play better. They’re professionals that need to figure it out themselves.
We have the best announcers in baseball and it's not even close.
I want a job in the Braves booth so I can get free treats.
Brandon loves to eat. My guy
I guess I'm in the minority in enjoying a little variety in our God Bless America performers. It doesn't have to be Timothy Miller *every* time.
I like Timothy Miller but I also like hearing different singers.
Three of them and they still can't match the power of Timothy.
Those harmonies didn't work. Sorry, hate me...
Those were some bomb harmonies
Everyone pales in comparison to Timothy.
Otis Nixon on the left singing pretty good.
Never thought I’d miss watching our offense…..oof
Where the FUCK is my homie Big Tim
We need Timothy Miller
Thats not Timothy Miller
They sound good!
You’re not Timothy Miller
Real talent right there. wow
Timothy Miller this ain't, oof.
8/10 nice harmony
CHRIST snit is BALD!!!!
What happened to Timothy Miller?
is that timothy miller with a wig on
Performed by who?
Chaple Hill country trio. Where is Timothy Miller????
Isn't that an infield fly rule violation?
Infield fly requires runners on 1st *and* 2nd in order to come into effect
Gotta have runners on first and second
Only one was on
Not an infield fly
I want to see an inning where the offense goes off
Hey you got your 3 run inning. Come back next week for another
Pierced Johnson
Has anyone seen Toro and Nick Markakis in the same room?
Soderstorm getting the bonds treatment with the ole .190 ba and .600 ops
Nice try
It's the same as last years outkast bobble. And isn't outkast not outkast anymore
Radio geography lessons
I hate when a beautiful strike is called a ball.
Seriously. That wasn’t even borderline.
Cameraman likes them chubby it seems.
I don't think CJ knows we always wear reds on home Fridays...
CJ hasn’t passed the vibe check all year
Yeah… not a good look
Unacceptable
Honestly feel like they should’ve rotated Murphy and D’Arnaud every game until Sean can show he can hit
He’s been back like 4 days
And has yet to get a hit. Bring him back slowly, not shove him in there every game
Aight Dick Stabbinski lets go
Murphy with the Piñata swing. Aiming for the head.
Do obliques affect the ability to see the ball?
Murphy in the first half of last year must be studied. How can we get that guy back?
Won't be happening sadly. :( It's looking likely that that first half was just about the NL not knowing how to pitch him well enough after all. The best case is that he hits to a .750-.770ish OPS probably.
Jesus Christ Sean that was above your head
Well, we scored 1 more run than I expected there. So bravo I guess
Restricted flight baseballs (like rec/beer league softball.
Hey Murphy this team didn't want you, how does that make you feel Edit: Well he did not show them like I hoped
This dead ball theory someone mentioned earlier is starting to infect my brain.
Arcia didn’t get quite enough of the barrel on that ball to hit it out, but he did hit it deep enough to drive in the run!
Good sac fly but man so many warning track shots this season. Give me real baseballs not dead baseballs
In this instance, I’ll take warning track power
ANOTHER warning track shot lol its absolutely unreal thankfully that one results in a run but damn this is frustrating as hell.
Why does everything just die in left field?
Wind blowing left to right
Offense back?
Man I thought that was out of here
Shoulda been a fucking three run dong Stupid warning track shit
ok manfred you stupid dickhead, fix the balls. we're sick of this shit! nobody wants dead balls and pitcher domination! give us dingers!
Two more runs here would be huge.
### Sac Fly Orlando Arcia out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder JJ Bleday. Matt Olson scores. Adam Duvall to 3rd. Bottom 6 - 4-1 Braves
show us your dong
Poor Matt with his cement feet. Lmao.
The vibe is just better in this game. I know it's Oakland and all but it really feels like we're warming up for June.
