  1. I’m not too optimistic about this one…

    #I’M ECSTATIC!!! THEYRE GONNA SMASH SALE, WALLNER’S GOING YARD, AND FESTA IS STRIKING OUT 12!

  2. there are 30 games left. Correa and Buxton need to get back on the field and give us what they got. Tape it up, patch it up, Dr Scholls it, whatever

  3. Lol Jeffers got hit in the back of the thigh on a swinging strike, don’t see that every day

  4. I can’t think of anything more humbling than swinging at a pitch that almost hits you in the penis

  5. Sale basically cost the Braves 2/20 plus their top hitting prospect.

    that was a ballsy move that is paying off big time

  6. I know he’s been struggling but sitting Royce vs a lefty with an off day tomorrow is certainly a choice

  7. Stopped at a taco/burrito truck that looked legit for dinner and it turned out to be Americanized crap. Like, pretty sure the rice was Old El Paso seasoning mix. Very sad.

  8. Congrats to all in here suffering through this last week+. True fans! This is near torture

  9. The twins could face prime Walter Johnson with Randy Johnson’s fastball and yall would still think we should be hanging up double digits

  10. Braves fan checking in. Our records are twinning rn. Just want to say y’all have some very aesthetically pleasing jerseys.

  11. Even if this team limps into the playoffs, they’re getting swept and that’s such a sad reality

  12. Cracks me Tf up how the thread in MinnesotaTwinsMemes is whining about everyone here being doomers. Meanwhile it is a couple people tops, and there were people in that thread upset by the early homerun too. It is almost as if, IDK gameday threads are for reacting to what is happening in the game, and with the team?! SP‘s most recent comment here is emblematic of that. People in the other thread “marking themselves safe” from this thread 🤣 — good lord some people just are desperate to feel like they are the cool kids (hint they have never been the cool kids)

  13. There’s no way Royce isn’t playing through injury right now right? Off against a lefty, didn’t start Sunday either. He has just looked off
