    Fuck Braun and fuck him for getting someone fired because HE FUCKING CHEATED.  I would not be heartbroken if he took a fastball between the eyes and joined the Ray Chapman club. I'd call him a piece of shit, but that's an insult to turds.
    A little harsh bruh.

    Go Dodgers, Go Stros and Yanks.

    In the WS go Dodgers.

    HA!  If the Stros are still Bros then it'll be LA and Houston.

    LA has got to do this.

    Go Braves, Nats, Rays, & Twins! Don't care what happens after that.  Nats & Rays would be cool, someone would get to win their first WS. I picked Nats & Astros, with Astros winning. Verlander/Alvarez Co-MVPs.
    Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 25

    Nats and Rays would be watched by very few.

    I'd love to watch it though.

    Same. It's a Catch-22.  No one wants to watch the Red Sox, Yankees, & Dodgers every year.* But when you catch a break with some less popular teams, no one watches because they aren't familiar.
    *EDIT: Except those fans, of course

    Heard this on the Michael Kay Show. The 8 remaining teams in the playoffs have an average of 13 people in their analytics team. The rest of the mlb teams not in, have an average of 6.

    I haven’t watch much Braves baseball this year so I have no idea what kind of relationship Acuna Jr has with his teammates, but they seemed more then willing to throw him under the bus for the loss for not hustling out a hit in the 7th. Seems like a very strange thing to do after a Game 1 loss ....

    Even the Brewers were willing to give a rookie who directly lost them a game the benefit of simply making a mistake.

    No doubt. Must be pretty strongly disliked in the locker room and their reasoning was  pretty dumb since Acuna was the reason it was a one run game in the first place. Should’ve thrown Melancon under then bus for giving up 4 runs and Snitker for letting the game get out of reach.

    Everyone's favorite Molina is a Cardinal though, not a Dodger?

    Ugh. Sucks trading for a guy to shore up the bullpen just to have him fall apart in the playoffs. Got a hill to climb with potentially seeing Flaherty 2 times this series.

    Acuña has previously had questions about his lack of hustle. He was benched in a game earlier this year for doing the same thing. On the one hand, that's just kind of who Acuña is as a player. On the other hand, not running it probably cost the Braves a run, which is huge in the postseason.
