Braves hosting Rox. Down by one in bottom 8 but threatening. 2nd & 3rd, 2 out STRIKE THREE and they're heading for the 9th

Daniel Bard in to close for the Rox. 4-3 lead Swanson K's on three pitches Harris goes 6-3 on the first pitch he sees (Charles Nelson) Riley for the block

Wed 8/31: Braves leading 3-0 thru 7-1/2

A 2-out 2R HR cuts the Braves lead to 3-2 in the 9th Funny how the Braves and Didgers effectively swapped top line closers and neither [Kimbrel, Jansen] has been all that good.

Braves win 3-2 Funny how the Braves and Dodgers effectively just switched closers this winter [Jansen and Kimbrel] and neither has been particularly good.

Braves up 3-0 in the 6th

Frayed Knot wrote: Braves up 3-0 in the 6th That was the final score. Starter Spencer Strider struck out 16 batters , an all-time Braves record. When you consider the great pitchers they have had over the years, that's something. Later

Those 16 K's came in 8 innings

Braves beat the Marlins in the bottom of the 9th, so the Mets' division lead narrows to two games.

I Played a Strat-o-Matic game with the Braves in which Phil Niekro struck out 15. Of course, they were 15 1978 Brewers. And I left him in to throw 12 innings. And also, it wasn't actually real.

According to WFAN, The Braves trolled the Mets today. They played Narco on the PA system after they learned that the Mets had lost. https://www.audacy.com/wfan/sports/mets/braves-troll-mets-again-by-playing-narco-after-loss?fbclid=IwAR0GkNd54a2RXoYHOJGDVQn3PP-2InM_-2lCHGpjIzkOi8BrPXzhZZTOUy0 Fuck those smug bas**rds. It was something Chipper and John Rocker would have done. Fuck them. If that isn't bulletin board material in the Mets clubhouse, it should be. Oh, in case I forgot to mention it, FUCK THEM! General Sherman didn't do enough. Strongly worded post to follow. Later

Decaf! All I get is wristwatch ads and some CBSSports windows. I probably have fifty-seven unwanted cookies clicking on that. No idea what Narco is, nor care. Sweep the Pirates! #lgm #ygb #ymdyf

‘Narco' is just the name of Edwin Diaz's entrance music. The one with the trumpets.

Frayed Knot Sep 05 2022 05:58 AM Re: TWiB Notes -- Aug 29 thru Sep 4

It's also used by one of the Braves hitters as walk-up music, I believe prior to Edwin adopting it. Why anyone would get exorcised over the Braves playing it escapes me.

MFS62 Sep 05 2022 06:44 AM Re: TWiB Notes -- Aug 29 thru Sep 4

I had to vent in frustration over the Mets not being to shake those guys. I felt a lot better when I got it off my chest. Later
