  • Atlanta Braves at Mariners Game Thread and discussion

    The Atlanta Braves are riding high at the moment and are just one win away from already picking up their 20th win of the season. If they’re going to reach that mark then they’ll have to find a way to get past the Seattle Mariners and their formidable pitching staff. The Braves are collectively swinging the bats well at the moment and they’ll have to get it done tonight against Bryce Miller. With that being said, it would be lovely if Max Fried found a way to keep the good vibes from his last...

  • Enter the Drag-on: Denied longball, Riley’s flare walks it off, 4-3

    Is it just me, or does it feel a little “April 2022” to anyone else? Namely, check out the latter half of 2021 heading into 2022, and then the latter half of 2023 heading into our current brave (not-so-Brave) new world of spring 2024: Why am I talking about this in a recap of all things? Well, Sunday afternoon’s walk-off win over the Guardians happened in large part because of this phenomenon, with the strong wind blowing in from left field also likely playing a role. You see, in this game, the...
