Braves vs. Nationals Game Highlights (9/21/23) | MLB Highlights

[@mightbegenius]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Albies wins us 10+ games a year just by himself. One year he's gonna hit 40/120, watch. Best 2b we've ever had.

[@johnblze667]

We have multiple players who can steal us a game by themselves

[@doc8013]

Yeah, I think he would've had a chance at that this year if he hadn't gotten hurt. Love Ozzie. It makes me mad when I hear folks say he's the most overrated player in the game. That's like one of the literal worst takes I've ever heard and is so undeniably and utterly laughable.

[@joeroshau5742]

GO, Braves!!

[@HANDBANANA95]

He is a 3 hitter for 22 other teams

[@jizz1488]

Hmm. Where are All the People who said " Ozzie need to pick a side to hit from!" 🦗🦗the dude is having and Amazing year! Let's keep it going throughout the Playoffs!!

[@loganamick7102]

Get playoff ready! Ozzie had himself a GAME! Love seeing us like this and the bullpen staying solid!

[@rebeccaparrish8919]

Great win! I'm laughing at Riley.. he's letting that ump know, it's ok, just don't let it happen again!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Let's Gooooo!!!!

[@Thaofficialsensei]

Ozzie showing why he’s pound for pound the best at his position 🚩🚩🚩🪓🪓🪓

[@jordangreen7198]

Not really. Corey seager is by far the best 2nd baseman. Ozzie isn't that great defensively

[@jordangreen7198]

And I'm a braves fan.

[@doc8013]

​@@jordangreen7198buddy, Corey Seager isn't a second baseman.

[@wickedjr70]

Seager is a SS, genius.

Notes From the Game: + MAX POWER FROM MAX FRIED! 6 Innings of 1-Run, 3-Hit Ball, Walking 1 and Striking Out 7 en route to yet another Win! Fried Improves to 8-1 with an ERA of 2.55. He's been one heck of a Uplift since returning from the IL! + The Rest of the Bullpen did a Pretty Good Job! Jimenez and Yates Pitched 2 Scoreless Frames, Allowing just 2 Hits while Striking Out 3, while Jackson Stephens had his first bad outing since returning from injury, allowing 2 Runs on 3 Hits, Walking 2 and Striking Out None. Hopefully just a Speed Bump in the Road, but otherwise, a Good Night from the Rotation! ROTATION TOTAL: 9 Innings, 3 Runs, 8 Hits, 3 Walks, 10 Strike Outs, 1 Home Run Allowed. After a Tough Loss Yesterday, the Braves Offense Responded against Washington! + THE OZ-MAN WITH A FANTASTIC DAY! 4-6 with 2 Singles, a Double, and a TWO-RUN SUPER MISSILE, Falling a Triple Shy of the Cycle! Ozzie steps up to a .274/.328/.837 Line with 32 Homers and 103 RBIs through 139 Games! + AUSTIN 3:16 WITH A DAY OF HIS OWN! 3-5 with 2 Singles, a Double, and RBI! Riley stands firm with a .279/.343/.854 Line in 151 Games! - OZUNA HAD A VERY ROUGH DAY, BUT DID FIND A WAY TO CONTRIBUTE. 0-5 with 4 Ks and an RBI Groundout. Ozuna holds onto a .269(-.002)/.341(-.002)/.872(-.007) Line through 136 Games. + HOW ABOUT MONEY MIKE FROM THE 6 SPOT! 3-5 with a Single, 2 Doubles, and an RBI! Harris stands in with a .294/.333/.816 Line in 130 Games! + Travis d'Arnaud Contributed in his own way! 1-3 with 2 Walks, a Single and an RBI! d'Arnaud holds firm with a .231/.289/.703 Line through 70 Games! + ORLANDO ARCIA ALSO HAD A NIGHT! 3-4 with a Walk, 3 Singles, and an RBI! Arcia is now batting .268/.323/.753 in 132 Games! + MATT OLSON CONTINUES TO BUILD HIS OWN CASE FOR MVP! 2-6 with a Single and a SOLO SUPER MISSILE! Olson stands up with a .279/.386/.995 Line with 53 Home Runs and 132 RBIs through 153 Games! + OTHER NOTABLES: EVERY Braves' Starter got a Hit at some point tonight, as Ronald Acuna Jr. and Eddie Rosario each had 1 Hit of their own. 4 Walks were Recorded Tonight; 2 by d'Arnaud, 1 by Ozuna, and 1 by Arcia! + A MUCH-NEEDED ANSWER FROM THE BRAVES TONIGHT! The Offense POUNDED Jake Irvin and Cory Abbott, The Defense made no mistakes while making GREAT Plays, and the Pitching was SOLID from Fried and the Others. Braves get back to their Winning Ways; Can they make a Win Streak Happen before the Postseason starts? - Unfortunately, The Dodgers took care of business against the Giants, and the Mets Metted against the Phillies. However, the Orioles DID Lose to Cleveland, which Puts the Braves at 3 1/2 Games AHEAD OF BOTH Baltimore and Los Angeles for the BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL. TOMORROW: ROUND 2 OF 4 Between the Braves and Nationals will take place under the Evening Skies of Nationals Park. Patrick Corbin will be called upon by the Nationals, who's struggles are well-known, and September hasn't been kind to him as well, Going 1-1, but Allowing 11 Runs on 16 Hits in 16 2/3 Innings. Meanwhile, CHARLIE MORTON will take up Battle Stations for the Braves, Who's had it WORSE in September, Going 0-2 and allowing 12 Runs on 18 Hits in 14 2/3 Innings, Which Included his last start: a HORRIFIC, 6-Run, 6-Hit Affair with the Miami Marlins, where he COULD NOT Finish the 5th Inning! Can MORTON get off the snide and help start a Winning Streak for the Braves? Or Will Corbin and the Nationals find a way to even the Series? We Will Find Out at 7:05 P.M. EDT on MASN (Nationals) and Bally Sports South (Braves)! SoundFX09, Signing Out!

[@juliepederick7612]

Been a huge Braves fan since 1984, living in Australia I don't see as many games as I'd like & always check the results. Ozzie Albies is not only one of my all-time favourite players, but we both wore the #1 jerseys for our teams. For the Ą!

[@darianwilliams3452]

Ozzie so underrated, he in my opinion better then Altuve.

[@JoeB5]

Best is yet to come for our Braves this year !

[@THEWOODENNICKEL]

I'm a Braves fan, but I believe they're going to fizzle out in the post season. They've burned too hot and bright too early and it's not going to be there when they need it. Plus they have been exposed terribly by losing to inferior teams like the Marlins and Cardinals . . . . . It's an ATLANTA thing even seen it with the FALCONS

[@JoeB5]

There's always that chance and you may be right, but our track record over a long season shows 80% WS Champs 20% not. Time will tell, don't be a 20%'er as a Braves fan in the negative. Keep the faith, but I do understand especially with the bullpen etc. Still....Go Braves !!

[@tangofett4065]

@@THEWOODENNICKELand almost all of those losses can be hung on the bullpen. If the bullpen can work out the kinks, the Braves will be just fine.

[@charlesyaryan6619]

If not for the Injury, Fried would be Cy Young. No contest.

[@danielbuongiorno7093]

I didn't know Bert Kreischer was pitching for the Braves now. 🤣

[@andrewstallings6548]

I keep kicking myself for not listening in to the radio broadcast more. Brandon and Jeff are awesome but our radio voice is legendary.

[@doc8013]

Yeah, Ben is amazing.

[@weeyum99]

if they could just morph into one somehow

[@chickenfkeryay]

I watch the game and listen to radio broadcast while using mlbtv. Ben is amazing and the guys that do the road games with him have been great too w my favorites being Peter moylan and Darren o day Too bad the radio quality has been shit lately, it’s not in sync w video (Radio is ahead by 3 secs) and past 2 games audio is way too quiet

[@1bcordell]

I love listening to Ben. He has a great baseball voice. He and Joe make the radio as good as the TV for me.

[@Jason_Bover9000]

I like our new announcer but the radio is really good I haven't listen to the radio in awhile

LETS GO MORE WINS!!

[@RickeyGoldchain-gq8sz]

I’m forever the “glass half full” guy. Always optimistic, believing the best outcomes will happen. Still unwavering faith in this Braves team to have massive postseason success. BUT, just to give the squad a little motivation, bulletin board material; I’d constantly tell players “We can’t do nothing with Philly” “We might as well forfeit the postseason since we gotta eventually see Philly!” Whatever edge to give our guys, or a chip on the shoulder, I’m all for it if it’s effective. #ForTheA #4Life

[@cesarsalgadosalgado2199]

Bruh i love watching ozzie play hes just the background and copy of ronald if ronald doesn't hit a home run ozzie has his back and if ozzie doesn't swing and hit home runs here comes ronald with multiple homers

[@chauminhhuy]

Strider and Fried are on par, if Elder and Morton stabilize a bit, the Bravo for sure the champion. Let go Braves!🏆⚾️🏆

Good calls from the Umps, solid performance. #fortheA

[@YusukeKnight]

Nice win for the Braves last night

[@cynthiadalton7571]

I'm certain that Ozzie is worth a lot more than he's probably getting. Love Ozzie!

[@Noledad77]

Beating the Nats is great and all but I'm still concerned about the bullpen shitting the bed in the 9th. Walks and RBI's in the 9th with a big lead aren't going to sting as much now as they will in the NLDS.

[@JazzyJS58]

I don't have know doubt about the lineup best in baseball but the pitching has to improve especially the relief pitching. I don't want to c another repeat of last seasons playoffs it is really important to get the first seed that's what the coach said and it is true.

[@Ekofrennzy]

Them pitchers was trying Matt Olson the whole game with the inside fastball. I knew he was gonna Homer this game

Harris slapped that ball over the left fielders head. That thing spinned so hard the left fielder misread it. So cool
