Observations from being there:



Bats making contact with Archer's pitches sound like rifle shots.



Hecherria was safe.



Say goodbye to the playoffs, although the Twins took care of that, if we're being real.

Also, crowd seemed like about 25 percent Braves fans, maybe more.

I know I'm 100% biased but I've watched the replay about 10 times and I truly believe Hechavarria was safe.

Hurdle allowed this stuff for years, I would not be surprised if Polanco stood with Marte. 
Exactly! I'm glad he disciplined Marte. Finally! But this is the culture Hurdle has allowed for years. Sadly, it always surprises me when I see a Pirates run full speed out of the batter's box. It just doesn't often happen.

Guys like Frazier and Freese. JHay. They always bust.



I’ll always think Marte was a bad influence on Polanco. I thought after the PEDS last year Marte was trying harder. Then the game on Sunday....

I haven’t watched the replay, but it sure looked like Polanco came out of the box in a slow jog.

Quite a few. I’ve never thought of Atlanta fans as being invested in any Of their teams. I was glad to see some last night. Plus, pnc doesn’t feel like quite the Ghost town.

They're not really Atlanta fans.  They're people that bandwagoned on in the Chippah days via TBS. The people from suburban Pittsburgh who tomahawk chopped After Sid Slid just because it seemed like the thing to do.



They're the worst.

I never understood how Chipper got to be a role model.
