@whelms21 He started pulling a full half second before the play started one time.

@SportsTalkATL Surely you don’t think him pitching Thursday is why he isn’t pitching today. He’s had extra rest all year, and does better with it. He was never pitching more than once this series. Make his one start the best it can be.

[Justin Simmons @JustinLanceSim1]

@BillShanks He does better on extra rest. He was
never going to pitch in LA.

@UKFootball Did us a favor if it gets Beamer out the door…

Georgia-born Michael Harris II & Matt Olson for the Braves are the first pair of teammates to both homer in a postseason winner-take-all game for a team from their birth state

Joey Votto: I don’t see the Braves scoring anymore runs.

Ozzie Albies a few pitches later:

@JoshPateCFB I mean, it’s not like anything else is happening in the world…

[Justin Simmons @JustinLanceSim1]

@2KMichael24 The problem isn’t Josh, it’s the Carolina beat writers who don’t ask tough questions. Carolina reporters are just the PR arm of the football team.

@GamecockSheriff Last I checked our money spends like everyone else’s. If Indiana and Mississippi State can find someone, so can we. We have to stop being sentimental and putting so much stock in “how much they care.”

@CJNitkowski One of the dumbest rules in baseball. You leave the base path to avoid a tag you’re out, but you can do it to impede a throw.

@Braves This team plays like a team who’s GM did absolutely nothing at the deadline. The buck stops at the front office.

@SportsTalkATL The fundamentals and hustle of the Brewers is a night and day contrast with the Braves. If Dubon hustles out of the box yesterday, and if Perez picks the ball up with his hand like you are coached in Little League, this series might be entirely different.

[Justin Simmons @JustinLanceSim1]

@JohnnyCJordan Here’s the difference, are all the players wearing crosses on their hats? Pride nights they make the players wear rainbow hats. Have the nights, leave the players and uniforms out of it.

@yejiiiiiz I was there. It was like all the air was instantaneously sucked out of the place. It was glorious.

@JesseReSimonton This is one of the laziest and most ignorant takes I’ve ever seen. Remember when UGA let Mark Richt go to keep us from getting Kirby? Carolina would build a statue for a coach that put together a run here like Richt did at UGA. We give a longer leash than just about anyone.

[Justin Simmons @JustinLanceSim1]

@ALyon_SC Thank you. That narrative is pushed by moneyed interests that want the same brand names to
succeed, or by other schools that want schools like Carolina to stop trying. It’s lazy to think that because it hasn’t happened it never will.
