He thought it was up and away and knew he couldn’t handle it so that a swing was a definite out, while a take might let him see another strike.
Ok, but with two strikes, he’s gotta foul a close pitch off. Can’t leave it up to the umpire. A foul would guarantee another pitch.
Braves take Game 1 of the NLCS, walk it off in the 9th off of Treinen.

That was a good game.
Austin Riley has really had a breakout year.
Spotting Max 2 runs is an unorthodox strategy.
Freeman missed strike three by a foot.
Freeman called out on strikes in the 3rd. He has made six trips to the plate this series and struck out all six. Yikes.
I don’t know why we’re talking about the game in here but that asshole smoked that ball. New game.
That’s my fault. I mistook this thread for the general 2021 Postseason one. And yeah, that ball was crushed.
Darling just referred to Betts as “Mookie Wilson”. He’s stuck in 1986.

That was nice of them to show that Pujols clip.
Fuck you TBS and Fuck You Poojoles.
I can’t stand the guy, but glad ex-Dodger Joc Pederson hit the game tying homer.
It’s like Kelly stepped back and thought “I know I’m an asshole, but how can I up my game?” And then he realized “I can grow a Snidely Whiplash moustache!” Mission accomplished.

I’m astounded that three runs didn’t score there.
Uh oh. That wasn’t smart.
Can’t believe that didn’t clear the bases.
At the very least dive and give yourself some kind of chance to make a play.
Two runs were going to score regardless if it dropped, so no real damage due to the misplay.
