Good evening, Braves fans, and welcome back to another daily blog. Unfortunately, the Braves faced a tough loss in Game Three of the NLDS against the Phillies, with a final score of 10-2. Bryce Elder took the mound and gave it his all, pitching almost three innings before being pulled out with just one out remaining in the third. During that time, he conceded 5 hits and 6 runs, all of which were scored in the third inning after Castellanos and Harper hit home runs.

Lately, the Braves haven't been performing at their best, both in terms of pitching and offense. It's evident that there's a need to regroup and refocus, as we've been giving up too many runs while struggling to make solid contact with the ball.
In my personal opinion, starting Bryce Elder may not have been the best decision. Given his recent performances, it was a risky move that unfortunately didn't pay off. The offense also had a tough time today, leaving men stranded on bases and struggling to find those crucial extra-base hits.
The Phillies are proving to be a formidable opponent. This series highlights their strength across the board, from their potent offense to their solid rotation and bullpen. It's impressive to see a rookie, who's only been in the MLB for two weeks, earning such trust.
If the Phillies do come out on top in this series, they certainly deserve all the respect for their performance and for potentially clinching the World Series title with their powerhouse team.
Looking ahead, the Braves are gearing up for Game Four of the NLDS tomorrow evening at 6:07 PM EST. Spencer Strider will be taking the mound, and we're hopeful for a strong outing from him, with multiple innings in his repertoire. Additionally, let's hope our offense can recapture the magic they had during the regular season.

I'll be back with you all after the game tomorrow. In the meantime, I wish you a fantastic night.
