LMAO Braves lose another challenge where the video CLEARLY I mean....CLEARLY showed they were right.

Theo and Jed knocked it out of the park with their offseason acquisitions...

Well, Steve Cishek has been great..

Nola blanks Scherzer. All is right with the universe.

Nola is not getting nearly enough love in the NL Cy Young picture.

I swear...Charlie Culberson has been the steal of the year. He was supposed to be a throw in/provide depth off the bench. Guy has been amazing this year.

Definitely...Culberson has helped keep Atlanta afloat with Acuna's injury and Dansby's struggles.

Really, the entire bench has been great. Preston did a great job early, Flaherty until Carmago was healthy.

I've been impressed with AA and his moves with the bench, picking up Gausman, even letting young guys from the minors come up and get a chance to play in the pennant race. Really proving how much Wren ran this team into the ground and the job Coppy/FO did in rebuilding it.

Khris Davis is now your HR leader. His HR spray chart is 14 to right (opposite field), 12 to center, and 13 to left. Pretty impressive.

Acuna hit again and he's hot.

...definitely not intentional as it was on an 0-2 count but I get why he's mad.

Mother**** the Marlins.

And yeah, Braves would probably have the best record in the NL if we didn't get dicked so many times on blatantly terrible review calls. It's literally up to like 10-15 times thus far.

Cole Hamels has been an absolute force for the Cubs. Shades of Sutcliffe from 1984.

At this point, Hamels has to be the Game 1 starter in any playoff series.

easily. and you would think that's just because the cubs rotation have been crap but he's been incredible. Ace-like.

Agree from little what I have seen of this team (don't get that many cubs games in my part of TN) Hamels has impressed me.

5 wins in a row means the Rays now have the same record as the Dodgers. Didn't see that coming at the start of the year, gotta be honest

Re: 8/13 - 8/26 Game Discussion Thread

Welcome to the Cubs, Murph.

And Strop negates that moment with a cement-mixer slider to Suarez.

BOTE does it again! Cubs win!

David Bote is built for clutch situations

Huge to win the Spot Start. Sure it was hanger but all he does is hit the ball hard. He's going to be huge off the bench in the playoffs so much versatility.
