Locked On Braves POSTCAST: Atlanta Braves get blanked as homestand comes to disappointing end

The Atlanta Braves need every win they can manage to keep their postseason hopes alive, but the Cincinnati Reds spoiled things with a 1-0 shutout on Monday at Truist Park.

Grant McAuley and Jake Mastroianni of Locked On Braves break down the latest in a long line of frustrating performances by the Atlanta offense, the outing for Charlie Morton, where the Wild Card race stands and preview a quick two-game set against the Washington Nationals that begins on Tuesday with Reynaldo Lopez on the mound.

  1. Every night I think no way the Braves offense can get worse and am constantly proven wrong. 

    Long term plan players like Harris, Olsen, Murphy, and Arcia (really hope he’s not back) are offering absolutely nothing at the plate. Their approach hasn't change, swing angles aren't even close on missed balls, they don’t see enough pitches, can't move batters over, weak contact or meaningless fly balls on almost every ball in play.

    And why is Soler even playing? And especially batting second? Laureano has hit better, has a better arm and plays better defense. Soler should have smashed that iPad on Snit's head. Might have knocked some urgency into him. Awful acquisition.

    AA nailed the offseason pitching, but completely whiffed on trade deadline needs and Luke Jackson (ugh).

    Starting pitchers must be absolutely beside themselves.

  2. Another wasted effort. The Braves are done. Stick a fork in them. Atlanta sports cannot catch ANY break. Braves not making playoffs this year…..YET Falcons STILL suck for 7 years straight. Loser sports city.

  3. I can’t believe what I witnessed tonight. The lineup is embarrassing. Not even one run to at least tie it til extras. Wasting a great pitching performance from Morton is frustrating and unacceptable.

  5. Murphy is absolutely terrible, when I heard TDA was out I knew right then we were in trouble, then Razor Ramon has been our best hitter for last 2 months don’t play anymore. Sheesh

  8. Mets fan here wow i watch your podcast you guys are so professional i enjoy watching because you guys keep it real. From one fan to another keep up the good work but again i am a mets fan. Thank you guys.

  9. I don’t know why they keep playing Murphy. He has got to be one of the worst players on the team. Maybe one of the worst players in the National League
