10 Funniest Tweets From Braves' 1st Inning Meltdown Against the Cardinals in NLDS Game 5
By Karl Rasmussen
The Atlanta Braves got off too a woeful start to Game 5 of the NLDS against the Cardinals, as starter Mike Foltynewicz was bounced after just 0.1 inning, surrendering four runs and leaving the bases loaded for Max Fried.
The damage didn't stop there as six more runs would cross the plate in the first inning, as the Cardinals jumped out to a 10-0 lead before the Braves even picked up their bats.
Naturally, Twitter had a field day at the catastrophic meltdown in the first.

Mark Melancon can't blow the game if the starter does the job for him!
My five-year-old is weeping. The Braves didn't make me cry until I was 10.

Hey, things could be worse, it hasn't even been two decades yet.
I want every member of the @braves to meet me in the SunTrust parking lot for an Oklahoma drill when this game is over.

The bats were literally flying off the ball, and anything thrown at Cardinals hitters was finding gaps and plating runs.
