To their fans' dismay, they came up short, losing the game 5-4. Going into the bottom of the ninth inning, the Braves were down by three runs. Travis d'Arnaud and Vaughn Grissom managed to drive in one run each, but it was not enough. This is a matchup that we could absolutely see again in October. The Houston Astros have the best record in the American League. The Braves are a great team who, as the defending World Series champions, know what it takes to win it all. For many, this loss felt like a win that got away from the Braves. AUTiger7222@AUTiger7222@Braves Another loss that should have been a win.7@Braves Another loss that should have been a win. Many pointed to the bullpen decision from Braves manager Brian Snitker as the reason for the loss. Jacob Howard@LMH_61618@Braves Snitker is so bad at managing the bullpen8@Braves Snitker is so bad at managing the bullpen While the Atlanta Braves still won the series, this loss was still frustrating for fans. Knowing that your team is capable of winning and seeing it slip away is heartbreaking to watch.

When a team builds momentum in the bottom of the ninth inning, it can be difficult to stop them. But the Astros pitchers and strong fundamental play helped them maintain the lead. By doing so, they upset a lot of people in Atlanta.

Had he been able to hold them scoreless, the reactions from supporters would have been radically different.

I think I’m done with the “Dylan Lee” experiment Rather than simply blaming the pitcher, most of the onus was put on Snitker for bringing Lee into the game. Matt Olson SZN@atlxsports@Braves Could’ve won if Snit didn’t pitch Dylan Lee672@Braves Could’ve won if Snit didn’t pitch Dylan Lee https://t.co/4MbGPoY767 The Atlanta Braves could repeat themselves as World Series champions in 2022, but not if they keep getting in their own way. Jackson@jackson_inman@Braves Snitkers questionable bullpen management is this teams only weakness. If we don’t beat ourselves, we win the whole thing again.8@Braves Snitkers questionable bullpen management is this teams only weakness. If we don’t beat ourselves, we win the whole thing again. The Astros may have won their final game in Atlanta, but the Braves still came away with a series victory. Back-to-back series wins over the New York Mets and Houston Astros prove the Atlanta Braves are elite Houston Astros v Atlanta Braves Any team that can win the series' against the New York Mets and Houston Astros is capable of playing until October. The Braves may have to settle for a wildcard placement due to their slow start, but they are as dangerous as any team in the MLB. This loss may have been disheartening, but a team this talented should have little trouble bouncing back quickly.
