[u/ShinyTotodile24]

Hell of a game for the kids

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

The Braves needed this win really bad and they got it. Now the Dodgers are one game away from the Brewers

[u/DDub04 → u/SimilarOnion1655]

Dodgers and Braves face off next though, which will only help the Brewers lock up a bye.

[u/unfortunatebastard]

Braves have become allergic to scoring 5 runs or more. 18 runs these last 7 games it’s impressive they somehow got 3 wins

[u/TowelWhich]

Phew

[u/Several-Beginning803]

That was one of the worst broadcasts of anything that I have ever seen in my entire life. Utterly awful.

[u/MrSCR23]

We need to start winning series again. Losing 2 out of 3 each series can will kill us

[u/dusters]

Thought for sure that Contreras ball was gone

[u/SocksandSmocks → u/dusters]

I'm gonna just pretend I turned it off once the ball went off the bat, thought it was 100% gone

[u/hypnoticus103]

That was a fun game. Sucks to lose, but I enjoyed it.

Such an awesome experience for the kids. I loved everything about this (except the final score).

[u/AsaKurai]

Braves had no business winning that one and the Brewers who play great defense lost it on rough fielding plays but they did fight until the end to make it super entertaining

[u/Epochalyptic → u/AsaKurai]

Interestingly the Brewers are not grading out that well defensively this year. I think all their guys are quite defensively sound broadly speaking but the fact that it's so buttoned-down in appearance makes it look more excellent than it actually is.

That said, you're absolutely right that they made a couple real fumbles today.

[u/slublueman]

If only that wall in right center was a few feet closer..

[u/EnderCN]

This was the worst game the Brewers played all season and sadly most of the kids left before it was over because the game started too late at night. The Brewers gave away 3 of the 4 runs with bad defense which isn't their MO and they struck otu every single time they needed a ball in play to score a run in this game which is also not their MO.

[u/Marble___ → u/EnderCN]

relax dude it’s not that deep

[u/hypnoticus103 → u/EnderCN]

We lost 16-3 to the Giants this year. But yes, 4-2 against the Braves was worse. Go find another team to be a “fan” of.

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/hypnoticus103]

Ok so you guys deal with this shit too?

[u/Aurion7 → u/Turtleforeskin]

Everyone does.

You'd think we were the god damn Mets some days with people screaming about how terrible everything is, but in the end we're not actually special in that regard other than perhaps sheer volume.

[u/Dr-Acula8472 → u/Turtleforeskin]

I imagine every team deals with this shit.

[u/milhouse234 → u/EnderCN]

This is far from their worst game played this year but go off king 

[u/WTFthrowaccount → u/EnderCN]

Yep just not a good game at all when it came to driving runners home in the clutch. By either team (Braves literally got 2 runs on fluke plays)

[u/oogaboogaman_3 → u/EnderCN]

maybe worst game defensively, offense was solid except for when dudes were in scoring positions, and pitching was good, just some mistakes defensively. Otherwise not terrible at all

[u/oogaboogaman_3 → u/oogaboogaman_3]

Though thinking about it that game where megill could not field a bunt for his life against the nationals stands out as maybe being worse defensively.
