See you in October, Ozuna or later, 2023 Atlanta Braves season thread

[RaspberryFitted]

we getting demolished online rn
The recurring criticism is zero fire from the hitters

Strider was the hungry youngster, Fried was the veteran ace, and Morton was the proven oldtimer. All three are cutthroat when they’re on their shyt

Dugout full of friendly ass mfs.

@staticshock you can watch the rest of the playoffs with us Mets fans breh

 

[hashmander]

we need power arms. you get a lot of rest in the playoffs, so those power pitchers are fresh and can throw flames every time they're called upon. i'm glad our hitters are locked into cheap contracts relative to their regular season performance because they're overpaid in the postseason, so a good balance i guess. now gets some arms.

Braves disappointed big time

ain't the first time sadly

this is what they do

 

[#1 pick]

Chokers choke

ain't the first time sadly

this is what they do

a few years ago it was the bullpen and timely hitting from unexpected sources that became MVPs in the playoffs. that's the formula.

Second straight year starting pitching fell apart late in the season

This yr Fried with a blister, Charlie M with a sprained finger, Elder was awful late in the season. It was basically just Strider who we could count on

Even with that said I couldn’t have foreseen the entire offense shytting the bed for basically almost 4 straight games. Them boys came up small in the biggest moments and Acuna…breh didn’t do shyt in another playoff series. It’s becoming a theme

It still bothers me that we didn't trade for Lucas Giolito...twice. We could've gotten him for relatively nothing when the Angels traded him too.

this. The bats shyt the bed plain and simple.

It ain't on the schedule, it ain't on Snit, it ain't on AA, the pitching deserves maybe 30% of the blame, 70% of the blame is on the vaunted offense, they're the reason we're on the couch for the 2nd straight year. I don't know how this gets rectified other than them being GREAT in October.

Playoffs is more about small ball and situational hitting and all we could do was roll over to first when we needed a single or a groundout to score a run smh. I keep thinking about a Barry Bonds story from when he was batting coach with the Marlins, he was working with Ozuna and told him next at-bat don't try to hit the cover off the ball, just make an out. Basically illustrating to him patience, timing etc. This fool hit a HR lmaoo. That type of shyt doesn't always work in October

Man did you see how ASS Giolito was after he got traded? He wouldn’t saved us for shyt in the postseason.

The Braves gave up 4 runs or less in 3 out of these 4 games. The failure is on the offense, plain and simple

I agree that hitting was the problem in the post season, but we needed another pitcher and Giolito was a low risk gamble. He's also boys with Fried from when they were in high school, so who knows... he may have pitched better with the Braves.

Great listen from Barry, and it relates to our team. It was all mental with those guys, and we needed something to break us out of it. I wish we had a voice like his or Chippers in the dugout.
