He will be given a $70m contract to not be with the Braves.

5.2 innings tonight scoreless and 7 Ks from pitchers on the league minimum vs a $400M lineup
Possibly more. Didn't expect Fuentes to come back out for the 9th

He did, then gave up a HR. Whoops.

You gotta spice it up for Iglesias. Otherwise he won’t perform

So impressed by this kids poise.
He can’t even rent a car for 5 more years and yet he’s been in the drivers seat for 3.

You.... you do realize you can rent cars starting at 21 with most rental companies? You may just get a surcharge.

Thought it was 26 to rent on your own.

Nope. You typically just get a surcharge for young renters fee or something like that. Some states even allow you to rent at 18. But it's like less than 5. I think a few states are 20.
But all other states min are 21. You just don't have to pay surcharges under 26.

Awesome performance from this kid. Balls of steel to roll into Dodger Stadium and throw three perfect against the two-time defending champs.

Nothing to lose.
He knows this matchup is David vs Goliath, and he also knows he has proved himself over the year to this org that even if he failed, he would still have a big role with this team for years to come.

In fairness this is batshit insane. You have an off day tomorrow and a very good closer sitting in the bullpen!

I mean the kid still deserves the W, he was the longest pitcher and did a great job.

No doubt, they just posted his “final line” before he was done

One team starting a two time Cy young winner and the other team on their second bullpen game in a row.
Guess which one scored 3 runs and had even more opportunities and which one had 5 1-2-3 innings

Yeah, this is the famine part of our offense.

u/IllogicalBarnacle Milwaukee Brewers 1h ago
To be fair everyone’s offense is in famine mode rn, runs have been almost unheard of in these DS games

Picking up the bats that somehow blew having bases loaded with one out twice in a game and coming up with only one run out of it.

Braves Brewers in the NLCS seemingly. Dodgers mid summer offense appears to have made the postseason instead of any other offense.

Hey so anyone know what was up with the occasional doubling of the sound like in this clip? It was happening all throughout the game and thought it was just my broadcast.

u/joseph_grizzly Atlanta Braves 20m ago
do you think this will lead to more guys trying a 3 finger four seamer like he throws?
