Braves doomed themselves in NLDS with unnecessary distraction

The Atlanta Braves had been formally eradicated from the postseason on Thursday night time, dropping Sport 4 of the NLDS to the Philadelphia Phillies by a 3-1 margin. 

Whereas that sport was the official finish of the season, they appeared to take themselves out of the sequence in some unspecified time in the future between Video games 2 and three. 

That was when it was made identified that Braves infielder Orlando Arcia was reported to have been strolling across the locker room saying, “Atta boy, Harper!” to mock Phillies famous person Bryce Harper for being doubled off first base to finish Sport 2 of the sequence.

That turned a rallying cry for the Phillies, and it turned some extent of frustration for the Braves as a result of consideration it obtained. 

When Harper homered twice within the Phillies’ Sport 3 rout, he stared down Arcia as he circled the bases, clearly very conscious of what was stated.

The Braves, nonetheless, appeared extra involved that Arcia’s remark was made public and spent the following two days pushing again about how their locker room sanctuary was violated.

Travis D’Arnaud appeared utterly defeated speaking about it following the Sport 3 loss, and it remained a speaking level going into Sport 4 on Thursday.
