Alex Anthopoulos just acquired Matt Olson, one of the best first basemen in the league, and yet he was at the point of tears.
That should show you how much he and the Braves cared about Freddie Freeman.
Spencer Strider on his outing versus the Mets: "A lot of weird hits. They seem to be having a lot of luck right now offensively. That’s great. It’s August. (We’ll) see what things are like in October.”
Bryce Elder said he didn’t hear Pete Alonso saying “throw it again.”
Asked if he would be upset about it, Elder said:
“No. If I hit one to the concourse, I might holler, too.”
Michael Harris II on the game-ending play: “After I saw the out at first, I blacked out and was running around the outfield screaming. I kind of had a moment where I saw the fans out there cheering, and I knew at one point I was out there cheering for these guys, too."
Holy smokes. Truist Park is shaking.
Austin Riley just launched a two-out, two-run, go-ahead homer off Jeff Hoffman. The Braves have taken their first lead of the series.
5-4, Braves, bottom 8
