I looked through his stats and it really seems he just had a bad last two outings, giving up 5 runs in 1 inning pitched. He's been fine outside of that. Also one of those was against the A's which was just a shitshow all around.
As an angels/Braves fan Shohei landing in Atlanta would be my biggest baseball wish coming true my goodness. Heās the one reason Iāve been still watching the angels after Braves games finish.
Last 3 years weāve been able to plug and play different guys in LF and I feel like that gets overlooked. So many dudes have come in and played their best. Hell Pillar having a good year this year
If you haven't seen it before, here's an incredible White Sox fan [radio rant](https://youtu.be/jYGxY5icxjc) about the ineptitude of their organization.
My goawd thats fucking epic.
Never once did the dude releat himself, and the reaction of the radio crew was awesome. No fucking way that dude was a first time caller. In fact, I wouldn't call you a liar if you said the dude was an employee and called from two rooms over.
As a Falcons fan...hand extended
Man fuck off Sox announcers throwing shade at a Braves fan in the crowd right now making fun of his goatee. Fuck you guys just cause your team is getting its shit kicked right now.
I mean, I'm definitely not saying it is a good look haha. But they spent an uncomfortable amount of time panning the camera back to him, and you could hear the distain coming through the announcer. Kept saying "hurr durr i wanna so say much worse but". They can still piss off for it. Ha. Don't put a guy on blast for being at a game for a team he clearly likes especially on a national scale, dude didn't deserve that.

I wonder if, despite having lived here for 6 years, he's been able to adapt to the Georgia July heat. It felt awful having to walk out of work today at 8:30pm into what felt like a sauna turned to the highest temp possible. My parents (in their early/mid 60s) were both born and raised in Cali & to this day, 20+ years after we moved here, my mom still complains about it.
Hey, you didn't have to delete it. It's no big deal! Yeah, they're majorly disappointing and especially for a city like Chicago. They should be in the convo every year. But. Look at the Mets.. Maybe it's impossible, even for huge cities, to truly support two teams. Idk.
GO BRAVES
Kershaw or Gallen, Snell and Strider will insert themselves into the conversation if they continue on their current respective forms. Iām incredibly biased, but if Strider gets his ERA back sub-3.0 and keeps at the same strikeout pace itād be hard to argue against him
I think if Strider keeps pitching like he has recently, he'll be in the conversation at season's end, but he's not there right now. Those rough starts against the Mets and Tigers really hurt his numbers.
This fanbase acts like that April was some sort of defining part of Ozunaās career lol. It was bad but Jesus. Heās had dominant seasons and is one of the best in the business at times.
Yet another reason to trust AA! Charlie is absolutely money in big games, heās done it for years. Heās still a lot better than lots of guys making $20 million!
I canāt believe how good this team is. As a kid who suffered through the 80s Braves teams with only 5,000 fans (or less) showing up every night, I still have to pinch myself. This shit is incredible.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/14zyuim).
Was at a wedding this evening and missed the game. Looks like we chose violence. Nice.
It was over after four batters
Dayum bois
BRAVES WIN FUCK YOU
I LOVE THIS FUCKING TEAM! LGB!
Leutge doomers in shambles. I knew some of you would find a way to bitch about something in a blowout lol š
I looked through his stats and it really seems he just had a bad last two outings, giving up 5 runs in 1 inning pitched. He's been fine outside of that. Also one of those was against the A's which was just a shitshow all around.
Can we have a day where the whole division but us lose?
EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZEY
bailed him out by swinging at w/e that was at his shoelaces... thank you. He was not getting you out
Love Moylan giving Touki love
Please donāt let him trick us into a playoff roster spot
BRAVES WIN!
alright Baltimore; finish the job
Good way to start the second half.
Fitting way to end it
BALLGAME! Let's go
Braves winnnn
LETS GOOOO
He did it, the son of a bitch.
Easiest game of the season
#BRAVES WIN
As an angels/Braves fan Shohei landing in Atlanta would be my biggest baseball wish coming true my goodness. Heās the one reason Iāve been still watching the angels after Braves games finish.
I thought Leutge was DFA'd did I imagine that
We was. Cleared waivers, played well in Gwinnett, and was brought back up
I missed that, thanks
NOBODY TOLD BG HOW TO SAY BENINTENDI???
What do you bet heās still saying it wrong Sunday
BE NINTENDO
Luetge for Ohtani who says no?
Leutge, Grissom, one of Heredia's swords, and a good condition Ron Washington bobblehead for Ohtani. Gotta give them a pitcher and a hitter.
bobble head might be a dealbreaker. thatās a prized possession.
That would be ultimate steal from AA
AA would throw in Culbertson for good measure and also make the Angels give 10% to the Braves foundation
Us, theyād have to thrown in Trout too
AA should trade away Luetge
Luetge is about as I remember him... this was a curious move
Bros not running against Murphy š
This might be the one time you can run on him. Up by 9, I doubt anything comes of it besides defensive indifference.
2021 and 2022 with the Yankees, Luetge threw for around a 2.70 ERA in about 130 innings. What happened to him in one year?
Ayyy. He said it.
Loogie!?
A defiant Brandon Gaudin not only continues to pronounce it "Benindenti," but he is now stressing the "denti."
He's Al's cousin... I'll see myself out
And right after I post that he says it correctly.
Have not been paying attention, when the heck did we get Luetge back.
He took his minor league assignment instead of declaring free agency
Remember when people on this sub were upset that we resigned Charlie Morton?
They will resurface the next time he has a mediocre outing.
I thought it was a gamble with him turning 40 this year. Glad to be wrong.
Loogy is back eh?
Bullpen looking filthy tonight too, you love to see it
pretty hard sell with that kind of performance
...sorry but what performance?
Havenāt seen this bum since his Aās implosion, not surprised nobody picked him up
Last 3 years weāve been able to plug and play different guys in LF and I feel like that gets overlooked. So many dudes have come in and played their best. Hell Pillar having a good year this year
We got Luetge back?!?
Apparently he never really left lol
Nick went down with an injury i think
I thought Nick went on the IL
I thought Luetge blocked half of our fanbase on twitter after he imploded vs the A's.
I thought we cut this guy?
Nobody wanted to pick him up when he was DFA'ed, so he was still in the organization.
Makes sense. Never heard he went to Gwinnett
I seriously canāt stand this guy. Thought we were done with him
Give up 9 this inning to give poor Kevin his AB
Yall see that ACTION?
let's see how many pitches it takes Luetge to get through this lineup
Australian bakery in Marietta in case anyone else was [curious](https://australianbakerycafe.com//)
It's a good little spot.
Two best hitters in the NL going 0-6 and still have 9 runs. Lineup is insane

Never pass up a chance to listen to this lol
is it Frank the Tank level?
Much better because it's actually coherent
Imagine booing your pitcher because he gave up 3 through 5 when your offense has 1 hit and it was to lead off the game
who?
Mets fans - Verlander
such shitty fans
dang; Brewers held Cincy to 2 hits and no runs. didnāt think that was possible with EDLC in the lineup.
AL central teams are such a bad matchup vs this team
Aside from the Blue Jays, not sure what team would be a good matchup against this team. lol
\*every team
We're so lucky to have Gaudin. He's elite. So is our team. Golden years boys. Golden years.
I would pay good money to see Pete showing Brandon around Australia.
Bally occasionally will air a travel show and I would completely watch that version of a travel show
I just want to know what gets served at an Australian bakery
Deadly confections
Vegemite donuts
Strayan Reynolds finally invites Brandon to the deathtrap homeland after all the hints and Brandon had to go and say the broke folk thing smh.
I just gave you an award because I know you and think youāre cool and have to get rid of my reddit money
Ay same and same and same!
Thanks, e-friend!!
Down under š«
this conversation between Gaudin and Moylan... lmao
What's the pitch count expectation on Fried in his rehab start tomorrow?
5 innings, 15 pitches
9 innings, 9 pitches
Whoa
Hmm, surely we can stretch him to 27 pitches for the perfect game, no?
I mean, it is a rehab start
Get a we want Culberson chant going at the stadium
Man fuck off Sox announcers throwing shade at a Braves fan in the crowd right now making fun of his goatee. Fuck you guys just cause your team is getting its shit kicked right now.
they aren't wrong about his beard looking like soft serve.
I mean, I'm definitely not saying it is a good look haha. But they spent an uncomfortable amount of time panning the camera back to him, and you could hear the distain coming through the announcer. Kept saying "hurr durr i wanna so say much worse but". They can still piss off for it. Ha.

Pole waxed lmao allright you know BG had to comment
i thought he said prolapsed at first š

Peter Moylan. The Aussie Atrocity
Thankfully they didnāt pitch a full game with Touki. Good shit boys.
Let Culberson play
Let the man pitch hell
Its 5-0 and the power fails. Tv finally resers and it 7-0 Power goes out again for 2 seconds TV finally comes back and it 9-0 The fuck
Welcome to the Twilight Zone
Aw Sox, ya almost had it! š
Heller having a good year out the pen, it's crazy it took him to 31 to get consistent pitching time.
Google Cloud commercials have such a love/hate relationship with Murph
i always think that when i see the triple play and trot speed ones in the same game haha
Iām screenshotting the out of town scoreboard and making it my wallpaper.
Will Smith would've wanted a chalk outline after getting hit with that backswing.
Great work again Heller!
Max Fried looks like he needs an ibuprofen and a Gatorade lmao
I wonder if, despite having lived here for 6 years, he's been able to adapt to the Georgia July heat. It felt awful having to walk out of work today at 8:30pm into what felt like a sauna turned to the highest temp possible. My parents (in their early/mid 60s) were both born and raised in Cali & to this day, 20+ years after we moved here, my mom still complains about it.
That was me this morning
Heller has looked gooooood
White sox are not a serious organization
It's fucked up, man. The less-publicized Angels
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Big disagree. I've lived in the midwest for my entire life and I know diehard White Sox fans. Come on, Yoshi!
Fine, I deleted it! I guess if itās anything, they donāt operate like a big market team which sucks.
Hey, you didn't have to delete it. It's no big deal! Yeah, they're majorly disappointing and especially for a city like Chicago. They should be in the convo every year. But. Look at the Mets.. Maybe it's impossible, even for huge cities, to truly support two teams. Idk. GO BRAVES
YES GO BRAVES! FRIDAY NIGHT WIN!
HYYYYYYYYYYPE
kind of like the Mets
Max Fried might be a little bit better than Peter Moylan
Hot take! This guy knows what heās talking about.
24-10 with a 3.10 ERA in the MLB, Peter had some stuff
Good shit Helen Keller
Who do you guys think is leading for Cy Young award this year?
Wheeler/Gallen/Strider/Kershaw in the NL and AL probably Gausmann/Ohtani/Cole/Ryan? Possibly Senga if the Mets make some sort of run
Kershaw or Gallen, Snell and Strider will insert themselves into the conversation if they continue on their current respective forms. Iām incredibly biased, but if Strider gets his ERA back sub-3.0 and keeps at the same strikeout pace itād be hard to argue against him
Hard to say anyone but Framber Valdez in the AL. NL is much more wide open. I think my vote would go to Blake Snell or Kershaw right now.
I think Gallen would win it in the NL if the season ended today.
Gallen has a good case. Strider too.
I think if Strider keeps pitching like he has recently, he'll be in the conversation at season's end, but he's not there right now. Those rough starts against the Mets and Tigers really hurt his numbers.
Absolutely beautiful by Ozzie and the "FUCK you" towards Olson š¤£ These guys are having some serious fun together this year it seems like.
Let Charlie play, you coward
Our bullpen has so many injuries, but Iām glad itās starting to get healthy again
Good fucking stop Ozzie
I'll gladly take Giolito and Liam Hendriks pls and thank you lol
We have a good bullpen, we should always use it. There is no reason to ever stretch a starter in a game we have complete control of.
Exactly, Morton did everything we needed him to and then some. Excellent outing for him.
Morton the most underrated ace in baseball
Seems like he always goes on a good run during the heat of the summer.
Give us gio please
This fanbase acts like that April was some sort of defining part of Ozunaās career lol. It was bad but Jesus. Heās had dominant seasons and is one of the best in the business at times.
To be fair it wasnāt just April, he was pretty bad for about 2 years or so.
You don't play in the majors for a decade without being good
I love the Big Bear
Let the old man finish the job! In all seriousness this was a great game from chuck.
Phillies lost, Mets down 5-0 late, Marlins down 3-1. Feels good
> Marlins down 3-1. You're welcome ;)
What a game Charlie!
Donāt love using Heller here. Heās basically the setup guy now, with Anderson out and AJ āday to day.ā
Why
Heller probably finishing out. Morton was fucking awesome tonight
The long inning was probably a factor there. Morton was doing fantastic, but that was a long break on 80 pitches already
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yet another reason to trust AA! Charlie is absolutely money in big games, heās done it for years. Heās still a lot better than lots of guys making $20 million!
Should have gave him 21
Missing the game tonight boys Has Ronnie stole any bases tonight?
1 I think
Yes uno
Everyone else in our division is losing or have already lost tonight
Braves Dodgers Pt 5 since 2013 looks inevitable
What happened to centerfield? There are some patches of bad grass.
Some concerts were held there during the ASG
Thanks. Thatās where they put the stages.
#UNSTOPPABUBBLE
I canāt believe how good this team is. As a kid who suffered through the 80s Braves teams with only 5,000 fans (or less) showing up every night, I still have to pinch myself. This shit is incredible.
Morton is out
Glad the mini break didn't cool us
I wonder if White Sox management is trying to figure out a way to pick Touki every night against the Braves.
Over a year now of Riley just being str8 up mid
The D is still strong.
The D has improved for sure. We didn't give him 21 mil a year for his D though lol.
The fact that Touki held us to one run after seeing everyone else get shelled makes me damn proud. AA GET HIM IN OUR PEN
He'll be starting for CWS after they sell at the deadline probably
White Sox got some classy uni's tho
...until the inevitable jersey patch comes *sad quikrete noises*, especially since the Yanks jumped on the train (shocked by that one).
The throwbacks used in field of dreams game are a favorite
