Soler will be a big part if the Braves win.

He can hit and it's sad he was on a terrible team in the formative years of his career. Cubs really fucked him by sending him to KC.

You see what he can do on a winning team.

Already has a homer tonight.

Morton out for the series now with a broken ankle. wow. he was dealing.

He was pitching with a broken leg.



That's nuts.

Real boring game and I’m a baseball fan

The Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros are kicking off the 2021 World Series on Tuesday night. Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred is at Minute Maid Park for Game 1, and, prior to the game, he defended the Atlanta franchise's continued use of the "Braves" name and imagery. Manfred was responding to questions about whether the league would pressure them to change identities, the way other teams with Native American monikers have in recent years (including the Cleveland franchise, which will soon be known as the Guardians instead of the Indians).

"The Native American community in that region is wholly supportive of the Braves program, including the chop," Manfred said, according to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post. "For me, that's kind of the end of the story. In that market, we're taking into account the Native American community. ...In Atlanta, they've done a great job with the Native Americans. The Native American community is the most important group to decide whether it's appropriate or not."

Charlie Morton is a gallant champion just like Armbro Elvis. In the 1985 Kentucky Pacing Derby Armbro Elvis had the lead turning into the stretch under heavy pressure from Sherman Almahurst. Halfway down the lane Elvis's heart literally exploded. The horse kept trying to win and didn't fall down until after he crossed the wire. This video has been clipped so you don't see him fall. I would guess that was by design. He was buried in the infield at Louisville Downs. His headstone said, "HE NEVER STOPPED PACING."

Didn't Soler already win a WS with KC?

He was on the Cubs in 2015 and didn't go to KC until 2017.

I have no reason not to believe that he and the rest of the team will start hitting, though I am loving it (ba-da-da-da-daaah) right now.

Still amazes me that the Braves got a whole new outfield, and it worked.

He won a WS with the Cubs.

Had a great 2015 postseason too.

no surprise the Astros have bounced back offensively.

After last night, it woulda been a good bet on the to win the WS.

This World Series has been an absolute snooze fest thus far.

Losing Morton was devastating for Atlanta in more than one way. Astros got to see the best of entire bullpen in the very first game in which they were in command from the 1st inning. The more these animals see a pitcher, the more they take a giant bite out of him.

They barely saw the Sox starters

tonight's game has more action than last nights but i even switched channels to watch some flyers/oilers NHL action for 5 min.

i dont see this series pulling in any casual non-baseball fans outside of atlanta and houston.

correct.

Was gonna post this last night. Or maybe I think I actually did. But you already taxed ur bullpen in the first game. Youre down a starter. It's gonna catch up to you.

But they were all either injured or headcases (Giolito), so even the Orioles could have knocked them out.

and Cease
