I think I was 10 at the time and it was crazy in the Atlanta area. As for Bobby lets just say he thought Lebrant was the right call two years in a row so he wasn't always the sharpest man.Wow I had no idea about any of that....I was only 6 so my only recollection of that series is the VHS highlight tape I still have....you would think the players or Bobby would have noticed and said something....having said that, if Lonnie Smith watches his 3rd base coach off that Pendleton gapper in the 8th inning, we win

I'm sitting in a hotel suite across the street from truist park, looking at the large script A from the balcony. We're here bc my son wanted to go to a game for his bday so I got tix for the last home series against the phils (my team). Fam is cheering braves, I'm all phils.
Haha, yes they have. But while doing so, they just became the first MLB team ever to have 4 guys with 35 homers in the same season. They have 287 team HRs with 13 games left to play. The all time record for a team is the Twins with 307. Can they hit 20 homers in 13 games? Probably doesn't help that they have everything wrapped up and will be tempted to rest guys for the next couple weeks.
I will be at the Aloft the last weekend of September too. Not going to the Braves game though as I didn't want "standing room only" tickets. My youngest two boys and I are going to meet my middle daughter there and spend a couple of days with her.I'm sitting in a hotel suite across the street from truist park, looking at the large script A from the balcony.

Yup. Fixes nothingI am sure it will be nice but I am confused....wasn't the debate the fact they should be in TB and not St Pete?

Whelp he smacked HR #40 in his first AB tonight. So….will he steal two more bases is now the question.So with 9 games left to play. Ronald Acuna needs one homer and two stolen bases to be the founding member of the 40-70 club. Will he make it?
The Braves are currently 3.5 games ahead of LA, so there is incentive to play him a few more games, but do they really want him to risk injury stealing a base?

Acuna pretty much wrapped up the MVP tonight I think.
FIFY.Acuna pretty much wrapped up the MVP tonight I think. Bottom of the 9th he singles in the tying run, then steals 2nd for his 70th sb of the season, becoming the first player to ever hit 40 HR and steal 70 bases. He then scored the winning run as the Braves clinched the NL #1 seed with their 102nd win and still four games left in the regular season.
OBTW....4 of the top 7 HR hitters in the NL are on the Braves. Crazy!
