Is it too early to proclaim that this the greatest team of all time?
Oh my God why is Sean soooo sexy
This is the first time my bf has seen Pete and said he looks like a chubbier Ryan Reynolds. 😂
Atlanta Braves, so hot right now
I like how ESPN’s lead story on the MLB page is the padres stacked lineup and how it will get even better when tatis comes back. You know the lineup that’s scored 3 or fewer in 7 of their past 9 games
I love the Atlanta Braves
Is it just me or does Strider’s slider have even more movement on it this year?
Murph has definitely replaced Melancon for our resident crazy eyes
I’m having a very bad evening (cut off the tip of my pinky including the nail, bf is unhelpful in medical emergencies). This was exactly the distraction I needed.
Sean Murphy #loveshitting
Wow the team is looking awesome, everybody is working hard, let’s keep it up!
I love this team so much. The Hawks continue to hurt me and the Braves pick me back up.
Sean doesn’t know what to do with so many wins. He’s not used to it. Hopefully Matt will be able to get him acclimated to the change.
Great to see us win and looks like the Mets lose.
I swear someone in one of the threads called the score pre-game (8-1). Amazing 👏
Goddammit someone tell Murphy to stop looking at the camera during interviews. Talk to the person asking you the question, Murph.
There was a fan on the front row that very visibly surrender cobra’d immediately when the ball left Olson’s bat on his homer. Lol.
Even with the umps trying their best, we have still smoked the Padres so far this series.
Great outing from Strider where he could have gone 7 if the ump hadn’t railed him with several calls. Offense finally showed up and had a big game against the Padres.
Time to go for our 3rd sweep in a row tomorrow.
Braves scoring is better late than never. Rained the last 2 innings.
Our entire lineup has been so productive. Plus ozuna is there too
Wasn’t able to watch the game, just was listening, were the umps really that bad?? I plan to watch it when I get home tonight 🙂
Almost had more runs than Strider had K’s. Gotta love Strider day!
I think strider was arguably a little off tonight. 9Ks. 1 hit. No runs. 6 innings. I’ll take that as an “off” night…
so what’s the thing they’re doing rounding third now?

https://i.dumpit.gg/lnscwv6v.png
When the Braves win, I am happy
Hot take……………………………….
The Atlanta baseball club is quite good
God I love this team
Strider had 9 Ks, but he also struck out Soto twice and the ump fucked him both times.
Probably the worst umpiring against us so far the season, they were getting every call on the black and we got none of them.
And we still beat them 8-1. Got dayum these Braves are some motherfuckers
Can we just play road games for the rest of the season?
8 runs with ozuna in the lineup. The key is to clear the bases before he is up.
I feel a little gross for saying this, but…go Dodgers?
Braves made it interesting until the last 2 innings but it doesn’t matter. Pitching team was great anyway. A Mets lost will be the icing in the cake!!
Mark it 8, Dude.
WE ARE THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL AND YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
Huh, didn’t realize Bryce Wilson was a reliever for the Brewers now.
Is somebody running a fuckin chop saw in the background of Snit’s interview? The fuck is that sound
Bryse about to blow this for MIL?
Oh no bryse wilson is trying to choke this one away for the brewers.
Kind of expected more of a fight from the lineup that they have ngl
Welp. Radio test just unsettled the whole household.
Could’ve done without that EAS test out of nowhere.
Our rotation could soon be-
Fried – ace
Strider – phenom sensation
Wright – 20 game winner
Morton – veteran mentor
Soroka – ace with best comeback story in sports
Elder – rock solid young stud
I’m happy for the sneks this is embarrassing
Kirby Yates looked kinda nasty tonight
Strider leads the league in strikeouts ahead of Pablo Lopez, Gerrit Cole, and Jacob deGrom
I said before yesterdays game. Win 1 for a good road trip and take 2 and it’s a really great one. Well fuck it. I want a perfect road trip. Morton better be on his shit. Man city and the Braves playing at the same time tomorrow all while I’m at work. I’ll still be tuned into both tho.
I can’t remember the exact stat from the Radio broadcast but with Strider striking out 9 tonight he has 8 starts in a row with 9+ Ks. This ties or breaks Smoltz’s franchise record(can’t recall which) with the all time record belong to Nolan Ryan at 11.
This is truly unbelievable pitching from Strider.
Murphy with a “I’m a fun guy”-esque post game interview. Dude is a baseball Terminator.
This team is so good. If we’re full strength come October, watch out
What are these braves
