Now, what is the tie (tenuous) between the Twins and the Nationals?

The Twins were originally the Senators? Played in DC until moving to Minnesota in about 1960? And the Nationals are the current DC team.

[TBP]

Yes.

Kid from upstate NY on the mound for Atlanta tonight. Another New Yorker who left New York :)

WhaddyaguysthinK?

Will Joc Peterson’s disgrace to the male gender lose it for the Braves?

[Repeal The 17th]

You are making too much of it.
It is a joke good luck charm.

Stadium organist played
“I’m a little teapot short and stout”
for Altuve when he came to the plate...
It was almost drowned out by the fans chanting
“Cheater, Cheater, Cheater”

[Jim W N]

Whatever. I think it’s a disgrace. I liked it when there was at least some standard the players had to live up to.

But Jok’s not in there tonight so maybe the Braves have a chance.

[Repeal The 17th]

He also hits with bats he “stole” from Anthony Rizzo...

[Rummyfan]

Braves up 2 games to 1. Of course so were the Red Sox before the Astros won the next three and the series. Big game tonight.

I love baseball, I just hate the establishment which has gone off the rails and departed from me and many Americans.

You are right about those pearls, look very stupid. Dude hit into a double play too.

But they were overcome by the Braves good luck charm, Trump!!

[Jim W N]

And little boys wearing pearls???

The Braves should be ashamed of themselves for allowing that deviant stuff with their players who they know young boys look up to and emulate.

This series has been pretty boring to me for some reason.

I don’t know, I guess I’ll see if the Braves lose it like last year. But the Astros look kinda dead.

BTW, I disagree with the FOX panel that says they should keep Bregman batting third. If the moved Bregman down for now, it might actually relax Bregman and help him to find his rhythm once again. IMO keeping him in the third batter sport keeps the pressure on and he doesn’t look like he’s doing too well with it.

[Jim W N]

The stats I use show the Braves as the underdog, with the Astros as the #4 best team in the MLB ahead of the #7 Braves. So a Braves win would be an upset in my book.

Hey repost it - I want to see the picture...
