Bormio Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Last night, Braves scrap back to tie game at 7. Give up a 3 run bomb to Verdugo (who is having a better year than Mookie) and lose 10-8 to Boston. Tonight scrap from behind to lead 7-6 and give up a 467 foot grand slam to Arroyo, and lose 10-8. Tonight in the 9th, losing by 3 with one on, one out in the 9th, Acuna doubles into the gap and gets thrown out trying to stretch into a triple (he of course was the 9th, not the tying, run). Should sit next game as punishment for that total idiocy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 The Diamondbacks are about to lose their 23rd straight road game. The Orioles aren’t far behind with 19 straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockies are 5-27 away from Denver (paying the Cardinals to take Arenado turns out to be as ridiculous as it sounded when it happened).

Bormio Posted June 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Acuna says “looking back”, he made a mistake. He should not have to look back!!! A 2 year-old knows going for 3rd in that situation is not done, whether you get thrown out by 2 inches or 10 feet. His manager is totally right in blasting him. It was a completely inane play. And the Atlanta press is all about defending him. Unreal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Sadly…. Atlanta has a deep rooted culture of losing…. A train wreck at every turn it seems. Really hard to get excited, kinda like watching Jerry get the Idiots in metro Dallas to fund his football empire and watch the “train wreck” every Sunday. bgw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orioles aren’t far behind with 19 straight. D backs are brutal. Funny thing is their roster is not that bad on paper. Although their pitching has been atrocious. First time the Giants have swept them in a 4 game series since 03’. Orioles are a complete shit show. My old man still follows them since he’s from Baltimore, but they have been horrible. I honestly thought they would be more competitive this year. Played summer ball with Brandon Hyde one year during college. He’s a few years younger and I was not real tight with him. Nice guy, but not sure if he makes it past this year in Baltimore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Chambliss I recall playing there right after the Yanks success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good teams and some terrible ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the Mets traded Tom Seaver the year prior to WTBS starting I believe or maybe two years. I was not a happy camper and here came the Braves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
