MLB: “We invested millions to develop this program that simulates the experience of watching your favorite baseball team on TV!”
Fans: “Great! But can I just watch my favorite baseball team on TV?”
MLB: “THERE ARE BLACKOUT RESTRICTIONS ON YOUR FAVORITE TEAM IN YOUR AREA.”
I honestly cannot get over a lead off triple and not scoring. This is the most damning evidence of a lost season I’ve seen to date. Utterly embarrassing and like kind of physically impossible?

weigh in pls.

And OF COURSE Braves radio function isn’t working on Apple TV. So now I have to listen to these amateur dolts talk around the game never about the game.
Unfortunately I have learned from moderately extensive research that the Quikrete patch is within the Braves style guide. I can’t say these are the same golds in person, but we only have the marketing department to blame for the sore thumb
We can’t just be conceding games with zero offense to the Pirates when we were fortunate enough to not see their two aces. This is why the Phillies are rolling.

I quite literally do not understand it. I don’t understand why she is saying “I’m only 20 years old” I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS. I am of moderate intelligence, and I do not understand. How could this have tested well in focus groups
@OregonBravesMan
Incredible. I always go back and forth on the TBS effect, whether it’s real or not. I want to believe. Growing up in Atlanta, TBS was just my hometown team network–no distinctions. Even if I do believe, now I’m just sad that subsequent generations don’t have it

My cousins friend works at MLB and he told me that’s what they’d rehearsed but India forgot his lines and apparently tried to improv. Imagine winging the bard. THE BARD

could win the whole thing, they could absolutely turn it around, but I will neither forgive nor forget these two months. I like 162 more than I like October. I said it.
Ok hear me out. What if the
#braves
DFA’d the entire bullpen and replaced them with a pen full of actual bulls and just let them go to town in the 7th every night
No one wants to hear this but the reason there are so many

fans at the Trop is because the top half of Florida is just Georgia with the beaches we deserve. I can say this because I have family there. We don’t speak
The wifi is terrible in São Paulo right now. Can’t stream the

game. So I thought “cool I’ll kick it old school. Ben and Pete on 680. What do I need visuals for?” Of course Ronald hits a lead off homer.

@YahooSports
Players like Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Ernie Banks all played in the Negro Leagues and came to the MLB and destroyed their competition. Their league was absolutely on par with the MLB at the time. Frankly, it might’ve been harder.
@SPeeblesSports
Bro that was a rough series though, Ive mostly compartmentalized the trauma. The only thing I can remember is 1-0 loss on a single Juan Soto HR.
Arcia’s at bats look like one of those British sketch shows set in WWI and he’s like a junior corporal who peaks his head above the trenches and a bullet wings off his helmet and it spins around 360 degrees and he says something like “bobs your uncle mate?” or some shit
#braves
John Smoltz I am BEGGING YOU to stop praising Yankees players while the
#Braves
are smoking the ball all over the field and you’re on Bally Sports SOUTH. Read the GD room
Balls are flying for the Cards but
#braves
only reaching the warning track. We need to look into the very real possibility that STL is using cloud seeding technology between half innings. My other crackpot theory is something about forcefields, still working on it
How is this bowlegged goober striking out everyone. Am I going to have tell my grandchildren about the time the Braves got shutout by first ballot Hall of Famer :checks notes: Chase Silseth?
I’ve never seen such an abstract, go with what you feel, what are the vibes??? Strike zone this year. Umpires union omertà is making this game objectively un-fun.
#braves
The best thing about “throw it again” is Dr. Peter Alonso inadvertently gave the world a meme that works for ANY of his at-bats. And this is a game of failure.
#braves
Im excited for the smug “
#Braves
always turn it around in June relax people I-told-ya-so-‘ers” to smug out their little tweets, because I would love that to be the case! But this offense has mass psychosis
Absolutely embarrassing situational hitting but the most embarrassing of all walking Arcia is like he’s not a human windmill.
#braves
I dunno who should be more embarrassed, the Braves, the Phillies, Arcia or Eli White.
I wanna hate Alec Bohm but I just can’t. As a mediocre white man who has consistently failed forward with no semblance of what he’s actually doing professionally, I can’t help but be inspired by his mind-numbingly vanilla trajectory.
#braves
Now Smoltz is complaining that pitchers bodies are too hot, too sexy, and theyre getting injured at high rates because “you can’t pull fat.” Jfc
#braves
In one scenario, this is clear brand dilution. In another, more terrifying scenario, fascism has gone “old navy” and we should all be worried. Their Fall/Winter line will tell us a lot!
I hate to lose him, but we need Ron Washington IN Washington sorting out our broken and entrenched USPS system. Why? That guy knows how to SEND!
#braves
ok I am leave
Kelenic is pissed and he’s hitting the piss out of the ball and I love it
#braves
you can play mad in baseball if you know how to channel it. Bryce Harper or Max fried classic examples
The most infuriating thing about Smoltz is he COULD be pretty damn good. Half the time he has some interesting perspectives, but the other 99% is about he, himself, and him.

#math
Gonna watch the top of the order. Depending on how it goes, I might turn it off. Watching obsessively for 162 games doesn’t mean I need to suffer for these.

“… and I would agree with that but…” bloviates for 5 mins without breathing making completely opposite argument.

#braves
This game is so fucking boring. And here’s what I’ve realized the playbook against the
#Braves
is: 1. let em hit it hard but a little off kilter, fly out. 2. If anyone gets on base, junk at the bottom of the zone until DP. 3. 90mph down the middle third. Cannot catch up with it.
@BravesNinja2
The thing is, it’s not just Braves twitter. It was the national baseball media too. We’re not in a bubble. Every pundit and prognosticator out there had it as a toss up between the Dodgers and the Braves.
I think Bryan Reynolds is a great player. He seems to have a really shitty attitude. I think 20% of this was him seeding with the media how he wanted to be traded. The other 80% is just his face.
#braves
What people don’t realize about Austin Riley and him grounding out all the time is that he had a close friend die by worms. Worms killed his friend. And he swore revenge thus the ground balls to disturb the worms. He doesn’t even like baseball. He came for the worms.
