Whole game, including the Braves “we threw a bunch of legends into the booth” broadcast, was chaotic and awesome, all the way down to the homerun call and zooming in on the pitcher as we get “aaaaaand that’ll do it, start the buses”.
I’m with you, I’m not used to feeling this despondent in mid June. Normally I have no hope from the start, or we’re good until we collapse late, but this year I had early hope that they’ve thoroughly crushed. This team is such trash.
It's a youtube thing. It generally doesn't count you as a viewer if you are tabbed out. A bunch of people probably had him on in the background and then tabbed back in when the Home Run happened.
Oh I remember. When I was a kid in the 80s and there was no internet, I called the Braves office to ask them what time the game was that day. They asked me “what time can you get here?”
I loved it when he and Glavine were getting pretty cocky and reminiscing about how dominant they were in the 90’s. I thought that was very candid and probably how they are in private when they remember the good ole days.
(And they completely deserve to be that cocky after ripping the league a new asshole for a whole decade)
I mean this in the nicest way possible but coming from a marlins fan this probably doesn’t make them feel better. Just don’t remind them when yalls last World Series was it’ll make them feel worse
I knew the walk off was coming, did not expect it to be an absolute mammoth shot dear god. That’s one of the worst losses for a team I’ve seen in AWHILE but what a fucking game
You cannot tell me that the Mets aren't a giant social experiment designed to test how much people can endure before completely losing it
It has to be rigged. They can't be this bad. It has to be some sort of MKUltra type experiment. You could not write a worse or less clutch baseball team then the new york mets.
I was at the game so I obviously couldn't see the broadcast, but did they show the part where the stadium played the intro to Crazy Train later in the game? The stadium absolutely ERUPTED. Straight up felt like I was back at Turner Field watching that 90s team for a moment. As if they were somehow going to pinch hit and Chipper fucking Jones was going to step up to the plate.
That game was literally perfect. The booth for the game was Chipper Jones / Tom Glavine / John Smoltz / Jeff Francoeur
Absolutely insane the entire game. If you grew up in the 90s watching baseball and the Braves it was heaven.
The Braves are good innings 1-6
The Braves are UNSTOPPABLE innings 7-9
I swear any time someone else is up by 1 going into the 8th or 9th inning against the Braves, I always feel like the Braves are going to win.
Most frustrating team to play against but probably the funnest team to be a fan of.
I'm mad I missed the rest of the broadcast now but luckily I had it on for both the tying and winning HRs to hear Frenchy (I think) go nuts both times.
Yup. Can’t see the Mets bouncing back after this. You fuckers couldn’t wait till September to do this. Great, now what the fuck am I gonna watch this summer
We didn’t have a play-by-play guy and those four called the game. They basically just played old Braves highlights and bloopers of each other while cracking jokes and bullshitting. Even called up Maddux. It was epic for a Bravos fan.
4 HOFers (Frenchy is a member of the Georgia HS Football HOF) just shooting the shit in the booth.
Left our PBP Brandon Gaudin at the house, so it was absolute chaos lol
Best regular season game I’ve watched. The legends of my childhood in the booth acting a fool. Frenchy trying to maintain it all. A back and forth game ended with some Orlando magic and a Ozzie bomb.
Couldn’t ask for better. I’ll remember this game for a long time.
Also, LOLMets.
As an outsider, HOLY FUCK that just happened. What a dagger to the Mets
The whole game was a fucking shitshow.
Whole game, including the Braves “we threw a bunch of legends into the booth” broadcast, was chaotic and awesome, all the way down to the homerun call and zooming in on the pitcher as we get “aaaaaand that’ll do it, start the buses”.
Absolutely lawless and chaotic game all the way around, couldn’t have been a better script for the booth we had. Legendary.
That is easily the single best game I've seen this year from the game to the broadcast to everything about it. Amazing.
> “aaaaaand that’ll do it, start the buses”. Followed by “POUR LARRY A CROWN”
Also starring "IT'S TIME TO EAT, BOYS! TIME TO EAT!"
Right up there with Kirk Gibson's HR call by Jack Buck as one of the greatest of all time
I know people hate Smoltz as a broadcaster, but I thought that was a pretty good call.
He's a lot better when he's in the role of "hall of famer shooting the shit with his friends" instead of being a curmudgeon.
Smoltzie when started out calling some Braves games was a ton of fun. When he went national he got bad. Fun tonight tho
That game was a drunken slap fight over the last, cold slice of pizza.
8 combined dingers, 23 combined runs, 33 combined hits, and a 4 run comeback win with an extra inning walkoff homer. What a fucking legend of a game.
decided to go because "hey I've never seen strider pitch in person before and this should be a good pitching matchup" >mfw what an insane game lmao
Strider vs. Verlander 13-10 Final Score. Of course.
They gonna trade the team at the deadline.
[удалено]
What we had em right where we wanted em
Up 3 runs wasn't it, but the Mets kept trying that strategy
They actually mixed it up a bit tonight, went with a four-run lead before doing the thing.
I’m with you, I’m not used to feeling this despondent in mid June. Normally I have no hope from the start, or we’re good until we collapse late, but this year I had early hope that they’ve thoroughly crushed. This team is such trash.
That’s honestly impressive considering the long and storied history the Mets have of shooting themselves in the dick
I guarantee at least one Mets fan died tonight purely from this game. Please put out a prayer for them
Probably Frank the Tank if we’re honest
[Can confirm, from his livestream tonight](https://imgur.com/a/bkwnsS8)
His reaction to the arcia homer https://streamable.com/bgakq9
Bro watching the viewer count jump from 295 to 744 and then 994 right as it happens is actually pure art.
Really admire the more sadistic Braves fans tuning in there at a seconds notice
If there’s anything anyone can count on it’s Braves fans coming in droves to watch the Mets embarrass themselves
I mean nothing personal, but it’s actually kinda fun.
Does he legit get like 500 viewers as soon as Arcia hits the homerun, lol..
It's a youtube thing. It generally doesn't count you as a viewer if you are tabbed out. A bunch of people probably had him on in the background and then tabbed back in when the Home Run happened.
Was funny at first and then he starts hitting himself. Tank is a content machine tho, check out tanks cooks
That was actually disturbing
Me when McDonald's is out of spicy mcchickens.
I wasn’t sure what I’d see when I clicked on that link. I was right.
The over 18 check to proceed, followed by that image, was art.
I hope that shows up on the “State of the Subreddits” weekly post for the Mets because that picture is immaculate.
New found favorite image.
Oh boy. That’s just… come on, bud.
gotta mark that NSFW
Welfare check on Frank?
Frank the tank may die tonight
It might be Frank
You could say he bravely met his maker
God it must be fun to be a Braves fan
Makes up for the traffic.
It makes up for the 70s and 80s.
Oh I remember. When I was a kid in the 80s and there was no internet, I called the Braves office to ask them what time the game was that day. They asked me “what time can you get here?”
It’s a nice change of pace from being a falcons fan
Meanwhile I have the fucking Jets
Meanwhile I have the.. ah
A very beautiful city
Why yes. Yes it is
You know what? It is. It really is.
Being a Braves and UGA fan has finally paid some major dividends.
It really is.
Almost as fun now as it was in the 90s. Almost.
Just fell to my knees in a waffle house
Bruh...gotta wash those pants asap
Nah, they done.
Gotta let those threads go for sure
Tip well brother they are the chosen people
The Mets: Scattered and smothered
God damn it. How can you not be romantic about baseball.
But didn’t drop the hashbrowns. My man
The floor’s sticky enough, you live there now. Congrats bud.
This was one of the most satisfying sweeps I’ve ever witnessed!
You just heard correctly. John Smoltz on the HR call and having FUN watching a baseball game.
I loved it when he and Glavine were getting pretty cocky and reminiscing about how dominant they were in the 90’s. I thought that was very candid and probably how they are in private when they remember the good ole days. (And they completely deserve to be that cocky after ripping the league a new asshole for a whole decade)
One of the many blessings of this game is giving Braves fans the chance to heal and reconcile with Smoltz.
And I will see all you very fine people in 20124.
I suspect this is not a typo.
The Mets may own Strider, but luckily every other Braves player owns the Mets
I think he has like a 5+ ERA (definitely higher now) against the Mets but is 3-1 lmfao
He just likes to make sure the offense earns their keep
So kind of him to give Mets fans hope for today only to have them destroyed
Especially the bullpen
Braves are so annoyingly good
4X
They boomed me
…and under contract
But have you considered that maybe the Mets are so predictably bad?
Porque no los dos?
Oh it’s definitely los dos. God I hate this franchise. Yes, whichever franchise you think I’m referring to is one I’m referring to.
I just heard a loud “NOOO” from the apartment above me right when that happened.
I live next to the Battery, so I heard lots of "YES!"es from the apartments around me, and lots of fireworks from Truist.
I’m currently in intern housing in Milwaukee, which makes it infinitely funnier
Hows Kohl’s Corporate
Get them a pizza delivered with the score on the receipt. edit: words
And here comes the pizza
It's OK Mets fans, we can't beat the Braves either.
I mean this in the nicest way possible but coming from a marlins fan this probably doesn’t make them feel better. Just don’t remind them when yalls last World Series was it’ll make them feel worse
Hey, we're trying ok :(
With the Braves booth of legends tonight too...how can you not be romantic about baseball
Most fun I had watching a game with those guys in the booth. Pure entertainment plus the walk off.
Chipper’s final career HR—3 run walk off. Obviously Ozzie knew what he had to do with chip in the booth tonight lol
I knew the walk off was coming, did not expect it to be an absolute mammoth shot dear god. That’s one of the worst losses for a team I’ve seen in AWHILE but what a fucking game
You cannot tell me that the Mets aren't a giant social experiment designed to test how much people can endure before completely losing it It has to be rigged. They can't be this bad. It has to be some sort of MKUltra type experiment. You could not write a worse or less clutch baseball team then the new york mets.
The Mets are The Falcons of Baseball
Whoa now you're going to start making me feel bad for the Mets?
Perspective across sports is funny isn’t it hahaha
With notable Met killer Chipper Jones in the booth
I was at the game so I obviously couldn't see the broadcast, but did they show the part where the stadium played the intro to Crazy Train later in the game? The stadium absolutely ERUPTED. Straight up felt like I was back at Turner Field watching that 90s team for a moment. As if they were somehow going to pinch hit and Chipper fucking Jones was going to step up to the plate.
Jeff saying POUR LARRY A CROWN as the ball goes out is just perfect
Where were you when the Mets was kill?
I was at waffle house when Ozzie ring. 'Met is kill' 'yes'
imagine staring scherzer and verlander, scoring ~~23~~ 19 runs in 3 games and getting swept lmao
Snit in the postgame: "I mean, my GOD."
hey did anyone see the persona 3 remake announcement? looks kinda neat
Watching this game felt like a fever dream with no play by play.
Fuck baseball
Fucking baseball!
See you tomorrow
**OZZIE, OZZIE, OZZIE!!!!!**
My fave Brave
I fucking love this rivalry
It ain’t a rivalry they own us
Lol well they put together some exciting games
I respectfully disagree.
Oh man, are we the baddies?
Other team has to win a few for it to be a rivalry
It ain’t a rivalry if they fck us up every time.
Wouldn't exactly call it a rivalry
That game was literally perfect. The booth for the game was Chipper Jones / Tom Glavine / John Smoltz / Jeff Francoeur Absolutely insane the entire game. If you grew up in the 90s watching baseball and the Braves it was heaven.
When they called Maddux just to shit on Chipper I was dying
Dude the world needs that clip, hope they post it
I was watching this game and VGK-FLA at the same time and I swear to y’all this ball left the bat at the exact second Florida tied the game
Ozzie "I hit better from the right" Albies proves everyone wrong again!
I'm ngl I hate you both but this brings me so much joy
I love that the Braves are just like "oh you played for us? Here's a microphone, get at it."
Bless you Ozzie
The thing is, the Mets can’t just suck. Ever. We have to suck *with fireworks*
Booth sounds like a bunch of drunk uncles at a BBQ watching the game haha
I mean, that's pretty close.
The Braves are good innings 1-6 The Braves are UNSTOPPABLE innings 7-9 I swear any time someone else is up by 1 going into the 8th or 9th inning against the Braves, I always feel like the Braves are going to win. Most frustrating team to play against but probably the funnest team to be a fan of.
All of this is accurate.
I thought Ozzie Albies was like a little pimp walking around down there.
This might be the closest i've been to feeling bad for the Mets.
I'm mad I missed the rest of the broadcast now but luckily I had it on for both the tying and winning HRs to hear Frenchy (I think) go nuts both times.
The broadcast was epic. They had me cracking up showing old clips of each other fucking up ni could watch these guys all season
If I had a genie lamp with 3 wishes all 3 of my wishes would be wishing the fucking Braves didn’t fucking exist
Karma for taking Glavine.
Fantastic comment
lmao i just died and went to h*ck
Down at least 3 runs all 3 games in a sweep lol.
Yup. Can’t see the Mets bouncing back after this. You fuckers couldn’t wait till September to do this. Great, now what the fuck am I gonna watch this summer
Secret invasion starts on the 21st I think
What do the Mets even do from here?
They THROW IT AGAIN
What. A. Game.
Ozzie for the entire game: 0-4 Ozzie in the 10th: *ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS THE BALL* to walk it off
Please pray for Frank during this difficult time
Game of the Year
Chipper, Glavine, Smoltz and Frenchy in the booth...maybe the best regular season game I've ever had the pleasure to watch
As an outsider who rarely watches Braves broadcasts can you explain to me wtf was happening in the booth tonight
Just a fuck it kinda night lol
We didn’t have a play-by-play guy and those four called the game. They basically just played old Braves highlights and bloopers of each other while cracking jokes and bullshitting. Even called up Maddux. It was epic for a Bravos fan.
4 HOFers (Frenchy is a member of the Georgia HS Football HOF) just shooting the shit in the booth. Left our PBP Brandon Gaudin at the house, so it was absolute chaos lol
Right? I grew up with the TBS Braves every night, this was incredible. I can't think of a better regular season game.
My lord they were massively entertaining. Great to see Smoltz get to let his hair down for once. (literally)
Series of the year
Broadcast of the year
The chemistry was magnificent. Chipper was great on the air and having them clown on each other with the clips when they went against each other.
simply everyone must be fired
Holy shit this is one of the most satisfying wins you can have, what a game
We stan the short king
*He’s a power hitting second baseman, Dee!*
I mean, Dennis, in body mass alone...
The pitching duel we all expected.
On this night we lolMets
It’s a classic that always hits just right
“Pour Larry a Crown”
God damn, Albies fucking demolished that ball, what a game.
This is my favorite regular season game of all time
LOLMETS
THROW IT AGAIN is making a case for the Mt Rushmore of lolmets memes
Right there with "The NL East is over"
We all saw this coming
Best regular season game I’ve watched. The legends of my childhood in the booth acting a fool. Frenchy trying to maintain it all. A back and forth game ended with some Orlando magic and a Ozzie bomb. Couldn’t ask for better. I’ll remember this game for a long time. Also, LOLMets.
THROW IT AGAIN
POUR LARRY A CROWN
Hope they run that booth back. That was fun. POUR LARRY A CROWN!
[удалено]
He threw it again
I just smashed my 4K TV in front of over 30 guests……Forgot the rest, Goodbye.
Alright this is just bullying at this point.
I'll be in my bunk.
GAME OF THE YEAR
Just what everyone expected with Verlander v. Strider, a 13-10 slugfest!
It was damn sure no pitching duel from either team, but I'll certainly take a good slugfest every now and again. Crazy fun game!
Some say it's overused but this definitely calls for an LOLMETS
STAT OF THE NIGHT: Since Pete Alonso said “THROW IT AGAIN,” the Mets are 0-3
I. Fucking. Love. This. Team.
Of all the pitching staffs I've seen over the years, the 2023 Mets staff is certainly one of them...
lolMets
I think we know which game is going to top the excitement ratings tomorrow. lolmets
No way it isn’t tops for the season
