Matzek saved the Braves tonight!

I forgot to add that manager Brian Snitker was the bullpen coach in 1985 when reliever Rick Camp hit that amazing home run in the 18th on a two out 0-2 pitch to tie the game:

This Day in Braves History: Rick Camp’s improbable July 4th home run

Today is the 35th anniversary of one of the nuttiest games of all time.

I can’t believe that was 36 years ago. I luckily watched it til 4AM even though the Braves were pretty bad that season.

I support @metwannabe abusing his mod power and banning all braves fans . Actually just ban all Georgia posters . We don’t need em .

 

[NoSnowATL]

---- yeah! Go ---- Braves!!!

 

[J.C.]

Easily the best game I’ve been too.

I really really really want to buy World Series tickets for Friday or Saturday (games 3 or 4) . Other than it costing as much as a first class flight, the weather is gonna be kinda nasty. Also chance game 3 gets pushed due to field conditions / lingering showers. But 22 years is a long time to wait for the moment, and Truist Park is hella loud and fun, and only 90 minutes away. ------ why is it so hard for me to make a decision? lol

Wow the Braves are up 5-0 ?

Anyone know when the Astros will show up? They might have to steal some signs again

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

This start is going better than I would've imagined...

 

[Brent]

And this game is in Houston!!

 

[Webberweather53]

Great start, but Atlanta sports franchises always love to break my heart. Will not be over til the very end.

Oh yeah I definitely don't think the Astros go away this easy. If this series doesn't go at least 5 or 6 games I'll be surprised

Dangit there goes Morton ?

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Going not as optimally now even if the Braves can win this one.

And if Morton is gone, that means two starters for the rest of the series. Suboptimal.

 

[Ward Cleaver]

Dang it, Swanson.

 

[Brent]

Well here we go the Astros scored on a Braves error

Fun times

 

[Ward Cleaver]

Conroy wasn‘t giving anything low the first several innings. The zone has all of a sudden dropped six inches.

 

[Rain Cold]

Morton out for the series. Bad.

 

[Snowfan]

Morton out for the series. Bad.

Stupid Atlanta Sports curse.
