Lindsay Crosby, big baseball guy

By popular request, here's the Los Angeles call of Atlanta's walkoff winner

And Drake Baldwin's walkoff winner: "The 2-2 pitch. Swing and a drive into right-center field - it's big trouble. Kim's around second, he's headed for third, and the Braves are gonna win it."

Ronald Acuña Jr: hits a 105.9 mph flyball at a 30° launch angle and 402 feet with an xBA of .870...and it's caught at the wall Braves baseball has never been more back

Ronald uncorked this throw at 94.6 mph and almost did the dang "RF corner to 3B out he had no business making" thing again

Presented without comment

Jimmy Baseball fired this relay throw at a 99th-percentile 89.2 mph to complete the double play and get Bryce Elder through five innings You see why AA said they thought the defense was elite

Actually a really good call by the Nationals TV booth - appropriate energy for the moment, despite it not going in their favor

"Ooh, this ball's pretty well hit to centerfield, misread by Dubón, still going back...Oh man, makes the catch." (Every play Dubón's made tonight, they started the clip by saying that he misread it off the bat)

Matt Olson was running 26.6 feet per second, over a foot per second higher than his season average, and never stopped running as he picked up the first base coach and made the turn at 1st But I admire your INSISTENCE it was Olson's fault despite being utterly, completely wrong

Before we go live on the Postcast...I present to you, Mike Yastrzemski's walkoff as called by the Red Sox booth

Can Didier Fuentes even buy Ha-Seong Kim a beer for this, or does he need someone to do it for him?

Glad this didn't end up costing the Braves, but Michael's got to get this ball in quicker, if for no other reason than his own safety. (Spencer's clearly pissed off already and could always decide to just murder someone in the dugout.)

THAT'S Eli White's first career play at first base? Give that man the utility Gold Glove already

You're gonna hear "I told you he'd fall apart" from the Bryce Elder haters, but Contreras does a good job of going down to get this slider. León wanted it outside but it was still a very good piece of hitting to go down and get it

Chris Rembert just made the damndest play I've ever seen to field a bunt that was thrown into right field and made a jump throw to nail the runner at second. That's a home ballpark special, reading the throw off the brick wall perfectly like that. Whew

Michael Harris II is out of the game - his last play was scoring from second base on a Mauricio Dubón single. Nothing obvious from the high home angle, so maybe this is a precautionary thing? Eli White has checked in to left, with Mauricio Dubón moving to center field

Have seen questions about why this wasn't an automatic out on Curtis Mead for running out of the basepath Rule 5.09(b)(1): "A runner's base path is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely."

Eli White did everything he could to get Carrasco out of the inning, but Nimmo got in just ahead of the tag Also, the MLB research tool just refuses to give us velos on these outfield throws. First the Acuña throw versus the Yankees, now this

Folks are gonna be mad about Eli White getting picked off, but dang was that a great move by Kyle Hart.

Shout out to the Braves Today discord for pulling the Phillies radio call of the Riley homer for us

Lucky break for Atlanta that Brandon Marsh apparently decided to play outfield for the first time in his life on this exact play

Auburn had more fans in their (raucous) ballpark at 1 AM after the gates opened 12 hours earlier It's almost like the folks who say that 'Alabama fans love Alabama football while Auburn fans love Auburn' are on to something

Jarred Kelenic, my man, you can't pimp a single off the wall and get thrown out at second base when you're hitting .174

Here's the "movement" from Matt Olson (Come get your boy, Major League Baseball Umpires Association)

The Rockies broadcast was NOT happy with this baserunning error by Troy Johnston "Johnston is...oh my goodness1" "Can't have that down by five."

Good job by Ozzie Albies to recognize that if he starts the rundown of Arraez, Turner's almost certainly scoring from third. Arraez stopped short of 2nd because he was TRYING to get thrown out, because as long as Turner crosses the plate first, the run counts.

Here is Ozzie's 1st inning home run, as called by the opposing TV broadcast (Hoping I get to run this bit back 300 times)

*frantically googles longest home run in Truist Park history* Well, Grant Holmes is gonna be famous for something Good night

Shohei sure walked away pretty confidently for a guy that just got rung up looking with runners in scoring position in a game they were losing

What a bad break here - the umpire misses the strike-three call, but Murphy doesn't challenge because he's busy throwing out the stealing runner, so it goes from an inning-ending double play to runners on 1st and 2nd with only one out Can we unplug this game and plug it back in?

Once again, the exceptional glove work of shortstop CJ Abrams seals a win for the Washington Nationals (What great baserunning by Tromp to score from second on this)

Homer #161 is a MOONSHOT from Matt Olson, 109.3 mph and 423 feet into The Chop House "Oh! Olson CRANKS one to deep right - forget that. Into The Chop House."

I, Lindsay Crosbyhousen, was so desperate for the Atlanta Braves to be free of their offensive curse in the month of June that I paid real human monies on Cameo to WWE Superstar, Legend, Hall of Famer, &amp; Employee of the Month Danhausen to uncurse the Atlanta Braves.

Stop me if you've heard this before, but Tony Vitello got thrown out of a baseball game today. Went and yelled at every single umpire and then flipped a dugout chair at the end of his hissy fit

Matt Olson might be #fast, but Brewer Hicklen's blazing He advances to third on a groundout and then beat the throw home on a flyout to medium center We're heading to the 11th and Atlanta needs a new 1B, as Hicklen was running for Olson

Ronald scored from first base on a single to center. He's getting held by Fredi Gonzalez at third and just "nopes" right through it. 29.8 ft/sec sprint speed and a First-to-Home time of just 10.03 seconds, his fastest time of the season

Ronald Acuña Jr. pulled up just after being thrown out at first and limped to the dugout with a trainer Maybe the last step or two before the bag? Looked like he was trying to keep weight off the left leg there

Ronald went home-to-third in 11.55 seconds, a 99th percentile mark this season. 29.2 feet per second on this triple and the Braves are threatening again
