No coaching going on if Drake is calling for the same pitch over and over. As much as I like WW, they MUST COACH THESE GUYS.

Although Michael Harris is statiscally and factually the best hitter on the team (with Baldwin and Dubon close seconds), it was two of the "outcasts" that did it today! Riley and Albies! Maybe tomorrow it will be Murphy and Kim!

All the credit in the world to Riley. He had an awful season and failed to deliver time and again as the team’s highest paid player. But somehow he put aside his performance and the criticism and in one swing changed the trajectory of the game and hopefully the series. That’s a professional ball player.

Good cap selection Lindsay. Keep it up…let’s ride it to the WS!

Are there stats showing that the Braves' pitchers are better with Murph behind the plate as compared to Drake? I assume that that is the case but it would be nice to see.

What a great moment to watch Riley's ball sail over the RCF wall! That one will be remembered for decades.

Will somebody please explain to me how Atlanta cannot sell out the stadium for a playoff game?! On tv, it looked like about 25% of the seats were empty. If this game had been in Philly, you wouldn't have been able to buy a seat.
