Wow, Braves up 2-0 now.

9th inning, 1 out.

Love the Braves but hate that infernal tomahawk chant.

 

Why do you hate it?

I think it's great. It gives their stadium a unique feel and sound and the players clearly enjoy it. I like their intro to Hells Bells by AC/DC too. It seems a really fun place to watch baseball.

@Taylor don't even think about it.

Game 5. Starts at 5:09 Pacific on Fox.

If batting the Pitcher 8th is an advantage,  why don't the NL teams do it on a regular basis?

If the Braves win tonight, do they start Fried on 3 days rest tomorrow to try closing out the Cheaters at home?

86 pitches in game 2

It might be because Greinke is pretty good with the bat (.225 career hitting average, .598 career ops. In his last NL season in 2019 he had .888 ops), and Maldonado is hitting .081 this postseason.

Seems to be a rather meaningless stat

I think that is the proper way to use a tomahawk.  Having the cheating Astros being tomahawked is ok with me.  Again,  it would be the proper use for a tomahawk.

Well that could have been much worse for the Braves.

Altuve just hit his 23rd career postseason home run. 2-0 Astros top 4.

If a manager can stop play if they think a pitcher is scuffing or using an illegal substance for spin, the Braves should be able to pat down Altuve after a homerun like a TSA agent to see if he has any electronic devices on his person.

Caught Altuve window shopping.
