![]() “That wasn’t a good play by Adam,” Snitker said. Such is possible with the Braves’ mashing ability. The Braves seemingly had a small margin for error Monday, but Pederson’s blast rendered Duvall’s miscue a footnote. But Duvall was nabbed inexplicably running to second, resulting in an inning-ending double play that erased the run. Catcher Travis d’Arnaud then slapped a flyout into left field, allowing Riley to run home. Outfielder Eddie Rosario advanced Riley to third. The Braves opened the second with third baseman Austin Riley’s soft infield single and outfielder Adam Duvall’s hit, positioning them to get an early run off Peralta. It positioned the Braves to finish the series Tuesday in front of their home crowd, a luxury they didn’t have a season ago, when the NLDS and NLCS were played at neutral sites due to the pandemic.Įarly indications suggested Monday could become another memorable Braves postseason disaster after a baserunning gaffe. Pederson’s shot outscored the Brewers’ run production for the entire series (two). Runs are at a premium in this series, and Pederson has been a godsend for the Braves. In the past few days, Pederson’s play has done the talking. “I don’t know if I have a media answer for that,” Pederson said when asked to describe his personality. Pederson has repeatedly been asked about the “why” behind his pearls, including after the game Monday, and while he charms in his answers, he rarely elaborates beyond saying he bought them from his jeweler. He’s shown it in the past week while wearing pearls around his neck. He showed it in late August, when he showed up to the Braves’ series at Dodger Stadium with blonde hair. The team constantly remarks about his personality and energy. He’s been very successful in the postseason.” He just slows things down and has his at-bat. Playing against him in the postseason last few years, you could tell that. “He’s been in these situations a lot, No. While the slugger was the least effective of Jorge Soler, Adam Duvall and Eddie Rosario – the July newcomer outfielders – in the regular season, he’s been the difference when it matters most. His first October with the Braves is off to a dashing start: Pederson is 3-for-3 with two homers. With all of that said, I am very happy the Braves won, and revisiting each playoff game was pretty fun.The longtime Dodger knows nothing but meaningful games. He started his *career* with the Cubs, but for fuck's sake, even a cursory re-read of that material by anyone with half a brain would have caught some of this shit. The most annoying oversight was when they said that "Soler started the season as a Cub," when he started the season with the Royals. At another point, they say that "Anderson started the division clincher and Game 7" but the Braves didn't play a Game 7 in ANY series this year. Not only is it basically - as far as I can tell - just a repressing of a bunch of ACJ articles, but there are a surprisingly frequent amount of typos and factual errors.Īt one point, they say "Anderson's 5 no-hit innings matched Glavine's 6 no-hit innings from 1995" which literally makes no sense and is wrong. This commemorative edition also includes feature stories on Braves stars Freddie Freeman, Austin Riley, Ozzie Albies, Adam Duvall, Eddie Rosario and other favorites, and is a must-have keepsake for fans of this amazing championship squad.Īlthough I'm obviously just having a blast basking in the afterglow of this Braves' World Series championship, this thing is a pretty slapdash cash-in effort. Packed with outstanding coverage and dynamic photography from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Against All Odds: The Atlanta Braves' Improbable Journey to the 2021 World Series guides fans through the Braves’ unbelievable journey – from battling through major injuries to the season-altering trade deadline acquisitions that sent them surging in the second half from their dismantling of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS and their overwhelming of the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, all the way through their resilient World Series triumph over the Houston Astros. ![]() That all changed in 2021 with a resilient and remarkable group taking down the powerful Houston Astros to claim the fourth World Series crown in franchise history and giving Braves fans a thrilling run they’ll never forget. The big breakthroughs had been fleeting prior to the 2021 season, however, with their last NL Pennant in 1999 and last World Series title in 1995. The Atlanta Braves have been fixtures in the postseason in recent franchise history, with six playoff berths and four NL East titles in the last decade. The Atlanta Braves are 2021 World Series Champions! ![]()
