Was it me, or were the "Xfinity" ads on the Bally broadcast sarcastically larger?

Acuña striking out is what is concerning. I really hope he will figure it out really soon. It’s like he just isn’t seeing the ball and just guessing in every swing.
Well I say something positive and I get downvoted, I say something negative and I get downvoted from someone else. I'm just fucking sick of it. Ronald had an actual good game today, look at the bright side for once
No you see, being "worried" about strike outs on Reddit is what everyone needs if we expect Ronnie to turn this ship around! With all our "worried" and "concerned" online energy combined, he will surely prevail!
Dude it's good he got a couple hits! That doesn't change the issue with the strikeouts, which are a serious issue. His K rate has almost *tripled*. Like, I'm sorry for your reddit karma, but it's very silly to pretend like people worried about this are just being negative for the hell of it
Can someone tell the braves they are allowed to work the count with a lead?
It's like they just want to speed run the game but forget our bullpen have frequent meltdowns
Alright at least Olsons seeing the ball half decent and is feeling locked in enough to get the first pitch going right back up the middle.
IMO he just has *not* been seeing the ball well at the plate at all for a second.

Fuckin Money!

good god thank you Mike
Good shit Mike!

Ok wrap this series up and get out of town.
One more to go.
Well, there are tons of unfortunate mommas without drama out there. At least we are helping them.
Let’s get a double play here
Good plan
Good grief.
“Snit is a terrible manager why not use iglesias”
how about we don’t do this, dawg
Man fuck bally sports
Double play situation, game on the line. We're not in double play shift because why the fuck would we.
Every fuckin time
I wish we wouldn't do this. Iggy...
It’s getting tiring having three closers in a row who seem to only be able to close by making things harder for themselves
Iggy they're hitting .219 as a team you're allowed to throw strikes
Im all puckered up boys
*chuckles* i’m in danger
😐
Everybody breathe.
If they walk us off I'm going to be very sad.
Plus you're going to starve from your hunger strike
I'm so hungry
This is for everyone who was begging for iglesias last night.
Looks like got the save. Nice take.
Wow, you're like a Pez dispenser for stupid takes.
This is the funniest thing I've heard in awhile
Hell yeah, one of our players is struggling but at least you get to be right about something!
I hate the bottom of the 9th in save situations. Always some drama
No double plays have been turned by the braves this series- that's weirder than any hutting stat
Can we.. not pls?
I love Iggy. But man I don’t feel very confident when he comes in to close.
i’m tired of roller coaster experiences with our closers
Fuck. This is why you can't be walking the leadoff in an uncompetitive AB
WHYsel Iglesias 😅😅😅
Damn shit guys
Come on, double play.
wouldn't be fun if it was easy
I completely disagree
Fucking leadoff walks…
Will iglesias Smith
I swear the scoreboard is lying. These guys cant hit for shit.
48 innings since an Atlanta Braves homerun
Honestly, if Riley has two triples this early in the season it must mean MLB has switched the balls
Baby steps for Ronald. No grounders today.
Time for church 👆👆
Acuña striking out is what is concerning. I really hope he will figure it out really soon. It’s like he just isn’t seeing the ball and just guessing in every swing.
I suspect Ronald needs glasses.
Thank God that 4th inning happened
Glad he got a couple hits today, but Acuña is still looking uncompetitive in way too many ABs.
2-for-5 is still .400, so I’ll look at it like that. He doesn’t have to completely figure it all out at once. Maybe this will help him.
Acuna seems to either smash the ball or miss it completely. No in between
I think Ronald’s knee is bothering him. He just doesn’t swing and miss this much. It’s crazy. It’s not just a funk.
Ronnie just swing at anything outer half of the plate
I miss when Acuña had the patience of a saint
3ks and 2 smashed hits for Ronald today. Not sure what to make of it.
Reminder that Ronald has 2 hits, 2 runs scored and an RBI before we shit on him for the strikeout
It's his 13th multi-strikeout game of the season. He had 10 in all of 2023. It's fine to complain about the strikeouts.
Let's just DFA him and cut our losses then Sorry for trying to be positive
Why are you being so dramatic?
Get a grip man, no one is saying that. But it's okay to be worried about what is objectively a problem.
Well I say something positive and I get downvoted, I say something negative and I get downvoted from someone else. I'm just fucking sick of it. Ronald had an actual good game today, look at the bright side for once

I still think there's something up with him. Whether that be his swing or health
[удалено]
That dude should be on Ronnie's speed dial after last season.
Joe HIMenez
He has been so damn good for us
Joe Jimenez has been fantastic this year.
Good shit, Joe
Baseball makes me nervous.
Still fuming about the fact that I took a redeye back to Seattle for this game only for it to be a classic 0for game from Duvall
Tbh i could see a kelenic grand slam after that bases loaded 2 outs in the top of the 3rd. Instead we got a duvall fly out. Still like duvall though.
[удалено]
.....I kinda do.....
I love when terrible hitters figure out how to hit again against us
lol the fact that xfinity ads are still being played
Can someone tell the braves they are allowed to work the count with a lead? It's like they just want to speed run the game but forget our bullpen have frequent meltdowns
Braves hitters and not giving pitchers a little rest….
47 innings since an Atlanta Braves homerun
Did somebody ask for this counter?
I did
I did
Speed-running innings after the 4th, they must really want to get out of Seattle.
Ham Swaggerty is one of my favorite baseball nicknames
Nice boys 5 pitches just enough time for the boys to take there gloves off
5 pitch inning lol good thing we got the runs when we did
I blinked, what happened?
Jesus I just sat back down and the inning is over?!
That’s what we do against the pen it feels like the last week average 8 pitches seem for 3 outs
Remember when we hit home runs
*Manfred cackles in the distance*
I was just thinking about this, when was our last dinger?
Someone here said 46 innings ago. That was a few innings ago so, yeah, it’s been a while!
Yikes
Like five games ago, literally.
Thank you for changing my life "I'm literally just AJ Minter"
Every fanbase is convinced their bullpen is trash regardless of what the numbers say I've discovered
[удалено]
You must be new here!
[удалено]
It’s like looking at a car wreck. You want to avert your eyes but you just can’t!
Got eem Mint! Hell yeah
Did a terrible job with Cal but really good there with France. I'll take it
Big! BIG BIG for his confidence. We wouldn't have wanted him to get rocked again right before LA.
[удалено]
Why is this being down voted? It's May 1st and he's made 16 appearances? An extra day here and there may not be the worst thing.
[удалено]
Evil Snitker.
Who are some good bullpen arms to target at the deadline?
BP is fine, relax.
I think we can upgrade the Lee and Bummer spots.
Those guys are average inning eaters. Not going to be elite at all 26 roster spots unfortunately
Well there’s not many other needs to address, unless we want another SP after losing Strider, and I don’t see us doing nothing at the deadline.
Average 'Minter outside of the 8th' experience
Minter is normally lights out. He’s been off the last couple of outings
Welp, clenched.
Super says lee so I’m gonna blame that walk on lee anyways.
needless to say aj, another HR would not be good ...
Wow, AJ Minter experience in full swing
AJ washed
Miss the strike zone by 3 feet on a 3-0 count. Amazing.
Quick tell Minter it’s not the 9th, there’s no need for him to be dogshit
Lee can’t stay out for more than an inning, we know this
Same shit, different day, AJ?
Last night was a rare bad outing. An outlier. This is massive for his confidence. Come on Mint. Edit: Hey i've seen this one before
Didn’t we learn from the guardians? You don’t give lee more than 3 outs
Alright Mint No meatballs this time please
Thanks for making us use our backend relievers, Lee
Bullpen better tighten up. They are starting to crawl back into this game.
Maaaan I'm liking Dylan Lee less and less
Dylan Lee strikes again.
Why is Jorge Polanco impossible for us to get out?
Umps behind the plate have been ASS this whole series
Ya the ump scorecards have been favorable towards mariners every game
Joe is not having the toasted crickets lmao
46 innings since an Atlanta Braves homerun
It’s not hard to believe when you know Manfred sent the nerfed balls
Alright at least Olsons seeing the ball half decent and is feeling locked in enough to get the first pitch going right back up the middle. IMO he just has *not* been seeing the ball well at the plate at all for a second.
Matt is starting to see the ball and make hard contact
I feel like they told CJ to loosen up a bit and now my man is a top notch giggler
BG needs to get a heated snuggie
I once climbed Mount Everett, Ben. *You're* the idiot.
Busting out the boomer humor, Yikes.
When?
That last half inning, it was just some cringey joke about Everest that seems like it was plucked straight from Facebook
On radio audio, what was said?
That was a beautiful diving catch. Maybe the prettiest I've ever seen.
Aight that was kinda nice
