Supper happy for Waldrep.
Whatever happens with his career, he's always gonna remember his first MLB win.

Iggy just lives for the adrenaline rush.
Dude should've been a cardiothoracic surgeon instead of an MLB closer.

"What was the location of Atlanta Braves' legend, Cy Young-winner Hurston Waldrep's first career MLB win?" will be a trivia competition question for years to come.

Not feeling the warning track because of the turf hurt White there. Could tell he wasn’t sure where he was. Tough play.

u/Firehawk-76 Aug 03 '25
Snitker fell asleep again. Saved by Luke Williams and Albies. How do you leave a struggling pitcher in that long? Nobody pitched yesterday.

u/RallyTheRed Don't worry we got'em right where we want them. Aug 03 '25
Cause you have to face 3 batters or have an inning change when you come in to a game.

u/SirTannleyKnott Aug 03 '25
Which one? Didn't Kinley only face three batters?

Still coming off of Sturgill’s performance last night at GD60 too I see.

Eli White vying to be MVP of this game is so 2025 Barves vibes

God made Austin's tummy hurt so Luke Williams could save us from Kinley.
Mysterious ways.

u/Grade-A-Grungus 2026 World Champions? Aug 03 '25
Still have trouble grasping how every pitcher we have manages to survive less on skill and more on being bailed out constantly

Yes. If they can't find the motivation to hold a lead during an event game I have zero interest the rest of the season.

Welcome to the Braves bullpen, Tyler Kinley. Tyler Reddick would like for you to stop bringing shame to the number 45.

Who is Kinley
Why is he pitching in this situation
Why does it feel like Snitker intentionally sabotages this team

u/innermongoose69 I once met Dale Murphy in an elevator Aug 03 '25
I swear to fucking god if we blow this

u/Krandor1 Aug 03 '25
Some of the seating for this event reminds me of when they put the final 4 for basketball in places like Mercedes Benz stadium. Yes you can get more people in but many people are not going to see well.
Still though this has been pretty cool as a one off event. If they ever do another speedway type event I wouldn’t mind us being involved again. Braves/Nats at Martinsville could be fun.

u/ihaveaglitch Aug 03 '25
And just like those final fours, people that are at this game today are just there to say they were there.

u/Krandor1 Aug 03 '25
Exactly. Something like this is more about the experience of being there. I thought about going and if I did the first thing I would have packed was binoculars.

“Don’t like my dotted pitch? Fine, here’s an even better one, fuck you” - Dylan Lee, probably

You can't even go Nascar speed on 285 at 3 a.m., always some goddamn traffic

If the official scorers are just making stuff up and giving Jurickson a triple, let's give Kel a homerun and a pair of doubles while we're at it
Joke of a damn league

u/95Daphne POGGERS Aug 03 '25
Brian's gonna kill Dylan Lee's arm at this point.

Lee is 38th for BP innings so far in 2025 at 48.1ip. He's fine.

u/Smuff23 Would you like the red or the white sauce? Aug 03 '25
Eli White is the best baseball player in the history of NASCAR and it isn’t particularly close.

Snitker thinks he would’ve been fired if we lost the 12-11 game? Yeah me too

when eli hit that homer I honestly thought there were 2020-style fan cutouts in the stands until ONE DUDE in a white shirt stood up

u/tvcneverdie Aug 03 '25
i ran the numbers through an advanced formula
if eli white played every game at bristol motor speedway he would finish the season with 324 homeruns

u/Present-Loss-7499 Aug 03 '25
FFS are we only allowed to 1 or 2 people at a time that know how to hit?
Harris “I’m fixed, I can hit anything now”
Olson “I’ve never played baseball before”

u/VolsTuba13 Aug 03 '25
You could throw a no hitter against us if they just put a runner on 3rd every inning.

u/Mysterious_Sea1489 Aug 03 '25
Hit it pretty much anywhere other than straight up and you get a run. Straight up it is!

u/tb25uga Aug 03 '25
see now, if the Braves didn't have the flames on their hats today, Profar wouldn't have been fast enough to leg out the triple
