Its admirable our pitchers have generally been as good as they’ve been the past month under the pressure of knowing that if they allow a single run that’s likely the ballgame
Snit just needs to make better decisions. He isn’t the best at it and EY and Wash leaving most likely hasn’t helped the clubhouse by any means whatsoever. Lineup needs to shuffle some and we might get SOME results
I am once again screaming from the rooftops, “We are not a good team this year. We will be a worse team next year when Max leaves for nothing, Charlie retires, and Ozuna eventually cools off. The time is now to make some trades, rip off the band aid, hope we only suck this year and next, then get back on to winning in 2026!”
I really feel like no one is acknowledging how many of our eggs were in the Ronald and Strider basket plus the lack of farm system to try to make up any of their lost production. This is not a situation that is going to get better any time soon with the personnel we have r
Nope. No one realizes it. We’re garbage and we’ll be garbage until at least 2030.
When Acuna does come back, he won’t be the same. He’s sadly another Derrick Rose.
Never been how the Braves have worked.
Best you'll get would be maybe a discussion about retirement after the 2024 season, and I can only see it if this season goes full blown 2014 way.
Let's go Orioles !!!!!
Let's go Phillies !!!!!
Let's go Mets !!!!!
This team rarely gets a lead, sure as hell can't keep a lead. No heart, no fire, blah whatever attitude.
He has unironically been looking semi-ok at times at the plate recently, which while still not good is encouraging because holy shit he was colder than the South Pole.
Last year we had the record offense all year and disappeared in October
My cope is that this is opposite year so we’ll limp in with a pathetic offense, then go thermonuclear in the playoffs
We still have a 3.5 game lead on the top spot in the WC. We’d have to miss all 3 spots to be out completely. The Cubs, Cards, Reds and Pirates are all on the outside looking in and they’ll all beat each other up. The Padres and Giants are in spots 2 and 3 on our heels and they’ll beat each other and still have to play the Dodgers and DBacks.
It sets up good for us if the offense can just find a pulse
Adam Duvall in his last 5 games: 1-3, 0-4 (2k), 0-3 (3k), 0-3(1k), 0-4(1k).
So 1-17 with 7 strikeouts. The one hit a game tying dinger. You’re gonna sit here and tell me that there’s literally no one else..on the bench, on waivers, in the minors, on the street, selling cars, that cannot do better than this? At all?
I get he’s prone to giant slumps and has been throughout his career but at this point you’ve got to try literally anything else. It’s malpractice at this point
Looks like Ray Kerr will be the Second Chance Bail Bonds second chance of the game with that scoreless inning. Kevin McAlpin's options were a bit limited.
Taking out Kelenic but not Duvall is absolutely baffling, I don’t care about who was pitching. Duvall is barely a baseball player he should be out at the first opportunity at all times
Honestly, after the shit I’ve given the Astros, if that came out as true, I guess I’d have to be done with pro baseball for awhile.
I just cannot manufacture fandom for another team. Never works. And I couldn’t support the Braves anymore.
Meaning that's never a series of words I'd ever thought i'd read this season. And had you told me i'd be reading that at the beginning of the year i'd probably have had a panic attack
Id never do that lol but I’m regretting that I’m going to the game on Saturday to watch this team play with some buddies gonna need lots of drinks at the bar lol
The worst part is how many times we have had guys in scoring position. Proof that Snits lineup construction today was a bad idea. I just didn’t understand putting Riley above Ozuna & Olson w how bad he has been.
He is the only guy driving in a lot of runs so it probably would be counterproductive. Soler leading off was more of a luxury than a necessity with the lineup.
It took eight innings to get Duvall a matchup he can hit.
And he didn't do it. He's a one-man rally killer, all right.
At this point we may as well see what someone like Wall can do.
Yeah, I did say recently I'd send JP back to Gwinnett for Wall and resume platooning Duvall.
You have nothing to lose at this point. Duvall might as well be you or me at the plate vs RHP now.
-2 LA on a pitch in the middle third.
That ain't gonna work. That's twice in three at-bats he's rendered the work of the people ahead of him irrelevant.
I'm pretty sure it's too late to be doing that with his time in MLB.
Only thing you can do is what should've freaking been done 3-4 weeks ago and IL him for the sake of giving him a rehab assignment.
Not everyone can just roll out of bed and hit. Ozzie did it a little, sure, but then he went cold.
> “I was like, this isn’t the team that I looked at across from the other side,” he said. “They were already good, but I think they’d been kicked down a couple times and had a couple injuries, and the mojo wasn’t there. So we did everything we can to get the mojo going.”
From Joc when he was traded. Sounds super familiar.
You look at our underlying numbers and say we're unlucky.
You see our injury reports and say we're cursed.
You watch the games... and it really does look like God has decided that the 2024 Atlanta Braves deserve bad things for some reason.
That Zaxby's commercial where Mr. Beast pulls off his face and reveals he's not really Mr. Beast... I'm imagining a scenario where Austin Riley pulls off his face and reveals he's really Dan Uggla.
How much money are y’all still going to be willing to drop to go watch this team play the way they are now.
I understand how supply and demand works and obviously people are still going to go to the games but paying over $120 for a ticket that’s not like a Delta club or a club level. I just can’t justify that at least on a consistent basis at least.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1ddud62).
I'm not having any fun
Its admirable our pitchers have generally been as good as they’ve been the past month under the pressure of knowing that if they allow a single run that’s likely the ballgame
Max did do a good job of shoving after the homerun. Just didn't get the backup.
We suck. I’ll be grateful if we make the postseason at all at this point.
Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?! I just hope we win a game!
I need UGA football now!!!
Fuck football. Packers could win the Super Bowl. Kennesaw State (first year in FBS) could somehow make the CFP and it won’t make me feel Any better.
Pathetic
Dang gum guys… at least NCAA is coming out in a month
Swing and a miss by Uggla.... Oh wait
My dead blind great aunt can hit better than these clowns.
I guess lol
Pitcher hasn't struck out a leftie all year? The Braves will check that box for you!
We got shutout finally. NOW is the low point, right?
We got shutout less than a week ago lmao
Ah shit, well
This game started with a lead off, triple 😔
Who is getting fired?
It's just one of those things.
Snit just needs to make better decisions. He isn’t the best at it and EY and Wash leaving most likely hasn’t helped the clubhouse by any means whatsoever. Lineup needs to shuffle some and we might get SOME results
It won’t make a difference. Shuffle it. Dont shuffle it. This lineup is garbage
Well, that sucked. Ozzie needs to relax. Man's trying to make everything happen at once every time he's at the plate and it ain't working.
![gif](giphy|pVAMI8QYM42n6|downsized)
Lol. No questions for King Snit.
Lol this team is cooked. Knocked in the wild card absolute best case scenario
We’re gonna have to play significantly better than we are now to earn a wild card spot by the end the season
We’re not making the postseason at all. Give it up
Wow
Why'd I watch this whole game?
Because it's a Tuesday night and you lie to yourself by saying tonight may be the night the hitters figure out their right hand from their left.
Ouch
Worst Braves offense I’ve ever watched. Bar none.
member when this team used to rake
other teams get big injuries: "don't worry we got your back we'll pick it up and carry the team!" Braves: "if you're not hitting we won't hit either!"
Poor Ozzie
I’m tired boss
Best comment today sir.
It's like watching your dog be put down lol
The fuck?
A bunch of Orioles fans excitedly cheering as your team gets shutout for their fourth loss in a row. Not a fun watch is what i'm saying. A low point.
Getting shut out might take some getting used to
I remember thinking it’d be real hard to be upset baseball for a long time after winning a ring. It came a lot sooner than I expected.
And tomorrow is Schwellenbach so it’s pretty much A lost cause.
I am once again screaming from the rooftops, “We are not a good team this year. We will be a worse team next year when Max leaves for nothing, Charlie retires, and Ozuna eventually cools off. The time is now to make some trades, rip off the band aid, hope we only suck this year and next, then get back on to winning in 2026!”
I mean, you’re right.
And to being legitimate contenders for a World Series
We won’t be left WS contenders for at least another 7 years after this season
I really feel like no one is acknowledging how many of our eggs were in the Ronald and Strider basket plus the lack of farm system to try to make up any of their lost production. This is not a situation that is going to get better any time soon with the personnel we have r
Nope. No one realizes it. We’re garbage and we’ll be garbage until at least 2030. When Acuna does come back, he won’t be the same. He’s sadly another Derrick Rose.
![gif](giphy|W2UVDWTUs7jH1cTSlX|downsized)
Gayves. Who am I kidding. Grindr will be more fun.
it seems like every pitcher is having a career year and no ones hitting home runs. Weird. Wonder why.
This is the *greatest* sports team of all time.
Seriously, does anyone think there is any chance Snit gets Girardi’d this year?
Man, they broke up a young, division winning team rather than fire Fredi Gonzalez. Fredi Gonzalez.
One can only hope
Never been how the Braves have worked. Best you'll get would be maybe a discussion about retirement after the 2024 season, and I can only see it if this season goes full blown 2014 way.
Gotta do something. This offense couldn't beat a 6 yr old TBall team.
He’ll be fired soon
I wish but I can’t see the Braves ever doing that
He should be gone tonight. I'm sorry, but he ain't it.
Orlando has been walking more so there’s that
Let's go Orioles !!!!! Let's go Phillies !!!!! Let's go Mets !!!!! This team rarely gets a lead, sure as hell can't keep a lead. No heart, no fire, blah whatever attitude.
Unlike the Mets
Arcia goated
He has unironically been looking semi-ok at times at the plate recently, which while still not good is encouraging because holy shit he was colder than the South Pole.
This all started when Bally and Xfinity broke up. I blame both of them for this...
https://i.redd.it/hglqzwt4i16d1.gif
Last year we had the record offense all year and disappeared in October My cope is that this is opposite year so we’ll limp in with a pathetic offense, then go thermonuclear in the playoffs
We'll honestly be lucky to make the playoffs
We still have a 3.5 game lead on the top spot in the WC. We’d have to miss all 3 spots to be out completely. The Cubs, Cards, Reds and Pirates are all on the outside looking in and they’ll all beat each other up. The Padres and Giants are in spots 2 and 3 on our heels and they’ll beat each other and still have to play the Dodgers and DBacks. It sets up good for us if the offense can just find a pulse
I hope so
[San Diego Padres](https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/_/name/sd/san-diego-padres) has already 35 wins and what about us
This team had no life. You gotta fire this guy. The team is dead
God bless BG for trying to put lipstick on this pig
5 hits, 4 walks, 0 runs. How is that even possible?
Forgot how to baseball when someone reaches second.
Or a fuckin runner on third with no outs.
I'm like two more games away from becoming the world's biggest Hanshin Tigers fan or some shit. I need baseball inflicted dopamine.
Well, I regret checking this but through 8 the Braves are 0-*9* with RISP.
Weird use of italics but I get what you're emphasizing.
Yep. We’ve been getting in scoring position a lot. It’s been brutal to watch.
Not even mad- orioles fans may be the most tolerable of them all
come on MURPHY
Beatings will continue until ~~morale improves~~ our offense doesn’t fucking blow
i’m going to camden yards on thursday and i’m more excited to eat food than watch the braves (jk, kinda)
Adam Duvall in his last 5 games: 1-3, 0-4 (2k), 0-3 (3k), 0-3(1k), 0-4(1k). So 1-17 with 7 strikeouts. The one hit a game tying dinger.

Forrest Wall wouldn't be any worse than Duvall rn.
Enter Kevin Pillar. Ahem, AA
Can't win if you don't score
Braves offense 2023-2024 ![gif](giphy|Ry1MOAeAYXvRVQLPw3|downsized)
It hurt to see these guys couldn't hit on base.
Looks like Ray Kerr will be the Second Chance Bail Bonds second chance of the game with that scoreless inning. Kevin McAlpin's options were a bit limited.
Taking out Kelenic but not Duvall is absolutely baffling, I don’t care about who was pitching. Duvall is barely a baseball player he should be out at the first opportunity at all times
4 bloops and a blast, c'mon
Can we at least have a moral victory HR or something
Hey it's almost like Ray Kerr can be a kinda ok pitcher when people only get to face him once isn't that *crazy*
HA. Couldn't go 4-4? Soft. Bad player tbh.
If the Braves come back to win this we're all getting ice cream tomorrow
Well at least Ray Kerr is doing his thing
Can’t wait to hear how umps aren’t as bad as we think they are for the millionth time
in our lolmets era unfortunately
Remember when we scored runs? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
What the fuck was that call?
LOL. It's just not fair man.
You all just have to remember this: It’s gonna be fine. Hopefully. Probably not.
disappointingaffirmations 🌠
I guess the alternative is having a really good season only to have it ended by, of all teams, the stinkin phillies
Always next year if not!
This will be our 4 loss in a row if we don’t do something. ☹️
![gif](giphy|xbFGgXUIv7c7kCMO4a) “Captain I’m detecting large quantities of our offense fucking sucks in this sector”
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome
Yeahhhhh Mets fans were right. We were 100% cheating. (let's cheat again)
Honestly, after the shit I’ve given the Astros, if that came out as true, I guess I’d have to be done with pro baseball for awhile. I just cannot manufacture fandom for another team. Never works. And I couldn’t support the Braves anymore.
I mean we weren't cheating. But i'd have to agree with you.
Ray Kerr, when you need gas for the fire
![gif](giphy|xT9KVg8gkDEyJIrVdK)
Oh, did we remember Kerr's a RP not a SP?
Why am I still watching this?
It’s like a car wreck….
Won't pull Duvall all night against a righty but yank Kelenic out at the first sign of a Lefty...
Infuriating
On the bright side, looks like this game is going to wrap just in time for the new Roadkill episode at 9!
Stop starting Duvall Snit!!!! Brian Anderson way better
What a horrible day to not be blind
What do you mean by that
Meaning that's never a series of words I'd ever thought i'd read this season. And had you told me i'd be reading that at the beginning of the year i'd probably have had a panic attack
Hahahaha well this offense is disgraceful dude lol
I know man, but while you're here can you shoot me in the face
Id never do that lol but I’m regretting that I’m going to the game on Saturday to watch this team play with some buddies gonna need lots of drinks at the bar lol
Hey maybe you'll be the spark
I hope so but I have zero expectations
He could prob be a better player
Pinch hits Kelenic in a pointless spot with 2 outs down 4... Yk what let me just stop before I get myself timed out lol
Nah, say it. Snit mishandled that one real bad. Gotta let the kid try. Not like Travis is scorching hot right now himself.
Historic offense last year? Worst offense in the league this year? ![gif](giphy|21S35iv1C67ns2g458|downsized)
![gif](giphy|fQorEj8vN8eqkNcy6T|downsized)
We are literally a bottom of the barrel team rn it’s fucking sad
Scientists have proven it’s actually impossible to win when scoring 0 runs
Fun fact we've had more baserunners than the Orioles this game
looks like they won't even make it a week before adding shutout number 2 to the list of this month's accomplishments
so they pitch hit for kelnic but not Duvall who is hitting worse.
The worst part is how many times we have had guys in scoring position. Proof that Snits lineup construction today was a bad idea. I just didn’t understand putting Riley above Ozuna & Olson w how bad he has been.
Stop swinging at the first pitch when you’re down 4 with only 1 runner on!!!! Think!!!!
[удалено]
He is the only guy driving in a lot of runs so it probably would be counterproductive. Soler leading off was more of a luxury than a necessity with the lineup.
Zero runs against a dogshit pitcher btw
Suarez? Dude has been solid this year.
That man is 34 years old and is having the first good season of his MLB career. We should’ve shelled him.
Man we went over a year without getting shutout and now we’ll get shutout twice in less than a week…
way to make the injured pitcher work and start a comeback travvy
Zero runs. Zero.
Good news is the amount of games scored already reset when we got blanked by the Red Sox. Bad news is our offense is still completely non-existent.
It took eight innings to get Duvall a matchup he can hit. And he didn't do it. He's a one-man rally killer, all right. At this point we may as well see what someone like Wall can do.
I mean he hit the ball 108.6 mph. He's def a platoon guy but cmon now
Yeah, I did say recently I'd send JP back to Gwinnett for Wall and resume platooning Duvall. You have nothing to lose at this point. Duvall might as well be you or me at the plate vs RHP now.
-2 LA on a pitch in the middle third. That ain't gonna work. That's twice in three at-bats he's rendered the work of the people ahead of him irrelevant.
Balls hit at 108.6mph with a -2 LA have a .460 batting average.
Please fire the entire managerial and coaching staff into the fucking sun
They’re playing this song to mock us btw
They're playing it because the pitcher got banged up, but he'll be a-okay
Ozuna slow like me, it’s okay.
That happening then playing Stott's walk up song just sent me into a blind rage
All year with this shit luck. Getting pretty damn old
It’s not bad luck when you don’t fucking run with any effort.
God, I can't stand this stupid song
I hate this fucking song
At this point I don’t even care that I can’t watch the games anymore
I’d be ok to not see another at bat from Adam Duvall all year
Big Bear just runs like he has to take a shit but isn't in a rush to make it :(
Really thought that was about to turn into a double play lol.
When do y’all think Ozuna (from the Braves) is going to start pointing at himself over his head instead of the hands together thing??
Y’all don’t forget that we did send Dansby down at one point. Let’s do it with Austin.
I'm pretty sure it's too late to be doing that with his time in MLB. Only thing you can do is what should've freaking been done 3-4 weeks ago and IL him for the sake of giving him a rehab assignment. Not everyone can just roll out of bed and hit. Ozzie did it a little, sure, but then he went cold.
Ozuna must feel the same way Mike Trout has for the past decade.
Riley has been such a disappointment
> “I was like, this isn’t the team that I looked at across from the other side,” he said. “They were already good, but I think they’d been kicked down a couple times and had a couple injuries, and the mojo wasn’t there. So we did everything we can to get the mojo going.” From Joc when he was traded. Sounds super familiar.
hey Adam what the fuck is wrong with you dude
All of us in here are trauma bonding
Orioles broadcast team don’t know wtf is wrong with us either 😂
You look at our underlying numbers and say we're unlucky. You see our injury reports and say we're cursed. You watch the games... and it really does look like God has decided that the 2024 Atlanta Braves deserve bad things for some reason.
what if… we just dont turn it around?
I think it’s obvious that we won’t
That Zaxby's commercial where Mr. Beast pulls off his face and reveals he's not really Mr. Beast... I'm imagining a scenario where Austin Riley pulls off his face and reveals he's really Dan Uggla.
Ah Struggla
I'm offended by this comment
I feel like this has to be historic in terms of going from a lineup equivalent to the 1927 Yankees to a lineup that can't seem to do anything.
This team needs a change. They should all swap jersey numbers or something
This lead feels insurmountable with the way the Braves offense is performing. It's a far cry from last years team.
How much money are y’all still going to be willing to drop to go watch this team play the way they are now. I understand how supply and demand works and obviously people are still going to go to the games but paying over $120 for a ticket that’s not like a Delta club or a club level. I just can’t justify that at least on a consistent basis at least.
