GDT 10/3/13: Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Braves (Medlen) - NLDS Game 1 - 8:30 PM

[CrimsonCowboy]

Another postseason start for Medlen, another postseason start where Medlen is not getting any help

[The Chosen One]

Going to scour the house for liquor the next commercial break.

There has to be some here somewhere.

[jpx7]

Imma be a Patio raging drunk by the end of this laugher

I'm at bar that actually features good beer ... so, yea.

[BlackwaterPark]

Kinda sad you guys have to drink booze to watch sports..

[Five]

Kinda sad you guys have to drink booze to watch sports..

It's to ease the pain.

[BlackwaterPark]

Crawford is getting fat!

[bravesnumberone]

Kinda sad you guys have to drink booze to watch sports..

No we have to drink booze to put up with this miserable excuse for baseball just because the calendar says October.

[holden]

Medlen not locating at all. Already given up a hit on 1-2 and another hard-hit ball on 0-2. Can't keep the ball down.

[The Chosen One]

Kinda sad you guys have to drink booze to watch sports..

Torre must've told Mattingly to let the Braves self destruct

Cox must've told Fredi to trust his players.

[weso1]

Going to scour the house for liquor the next commercial break.

There has to be some here somewhere.

I've got some rice in my home. I'm going to try to make some sake.

[Pugfan]

The Braves can't handle pressure. They all should just take a couple of Xanax before these games.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I don't drink. Just saying

[The Chosen One]

Don't worry guys, if we had homefield, we'd find somewhat to lose to Pittsburgh as well.

[jsebe10]

Guys, give the team some time to settle in B4 abandoning ship game 1. It's the playoffs in professional baseball. Guys get nervous, they are human.

[bravesnumberone]

I don't see the Dodgers getting very nervous.

[The Chosen One]

Guys, give the team some time to settle in B4 abandoning ship game 1. It's the playoffs in professional baseball. Guys get nervous, they are human.

It's just not making me feel any better than the last 5 NLDS series we've played in we've lost game 1.

[holden]

I've got some rice in my home. I'm going to try to make some sake.

Read this as "I've got some ricin in my home." It struck me as reasonable at the time.

[The Chosen One]

Fredi is overmanaging the holding runners on right now.

Let Medlen worry about getting the damn guy at home plate.

[weso1]

That pitchtrax thing seems off.

[TXBravesFan]

Guys, give the team some time to settle in B4 abandoning ship game 1. It's the playoffs in professional baseball. Guys get nervous, they are human.

Yet somehow it affects our guys more than the rest. Every year.

[holden]

Fredi is overmanaging the holding runners on right now.

Let Medlen worry about getting the damn guy at home plate.

Could not agree more.

[bravesnumberone]

All this ****ing around trying to pick a guy off at first with no lead is what helped cost us last inning.

[jsebe10]

I don't see the Dodgers getting very nervous.

They've had like three suck me sideways hits...yea it produced 2 runs but that haven't been impressive outside of their fck boy messy beard Kershaw.

[The Chosen One]

GOD DAMNIT

[jsebe10]

Yea press the panic button.

[Five]

Safe to say that's ballgame.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Well.......................

[thethe]

Its absoltuely miserable being a Braves fan.

[CK86]

Well at least the Braves had the decency to have the blowout early.

[BlackwaterPark]

Buneos Noches

[JusticeForAll23]

We *****ing suck. If it wasn't already over, it definitely is now. Time to turn the TV off and study for mid-terms.

[Dalyn]

What a load of suck.

[holden]

Well, Medlen didn't have it tonight.

At least this isn't the wild card game.

[zitothebrave]

Well, now we need a miracle.

[Gary82]

Welp. I've seen this movie before.

[skidlee]

Its all freddi's fault

[4maddux_cy's]

Bullpen up yet? UGH

[thethe]

And this is why people stopped going to the games. Its just expected for us to fail.

[holden]

LOL might be time to play Puig straight up, you idiots.

[Pugfan]

Don't worry guys, if we had homefield, we'd find somewhat to lose to Pittsburgh as well.

This playoff first round failure every year is getting old. I have zero confidence in this mentally week team

[weso1]

Even our defensive positioning is bad today.

[tvsportscaster]

More Braves post-season woes what is new. They could have at least shown up tonight. But man is this pathetic.

[Yogi44]

Was worried about making it all the way thru 9 innings without falling asleep. At this rate, it won't matter.

[The Chosen One]

ANOTHER seeing eyed single right through the defense... unreal.

[bravesnumberone]

This is exactly what we did not need from Medlen. Too damn amped up. Can't locate.

[Five]

Adrian gonzalez has more 2 out RBI with RISP than anyone in the NL and they pitch to him. Good stuff.

[bravesnumberone]

ANOTHER seeing eyed single right through the defense... unreal.

I'm sure when we're like 75, things will start going the Braves way.

[Gary82]

This **** has got to stop. Someone sacrifice a chicken. Make a wish on a monkey paw. Somebody do something!

[The Chosen One]

Please pick up Kris guys...

He did his job getting our team amped by K'ing the side to start the game, we haven't done him much help.

Looks like Medlen may start game 4 over Garcia if we get there.

[atl717]

Season over. Great job Medlen, you really gave us a shot.

[BRule]

Same old Braves, can't even get upset anymore....it's to be expected.

[jpx7]

Welp. I've seen this movie before.

It has me wondering whether I should go home and watch a movie I haven't seen.

[Enscheff]

Assuming Kershaw goes thru the 3rd without incident, the Braves need to put a couple runs on the board in the 4th or the game is almost certainly over.

[weso1]

This **** has got to stop. Someone sacrifice a chicken. Make a wish on a monkey paw. Somebody do something!

done.

[NYCBrave]

Please pick up Kris guys...

He did his job getting our team amped by K'ing the side to start the game, we haven't done him much help.

Looks like Medlen may start game 4 over Garcia if we get there.

It almost makes sense to pull him relatively early and have him go in game 4

[The Chosen One]

Season over. Great job Medlen, you really gave us a shot.

Yeah... no.

Most of us haven't given up on the series yet. Let's not go there already.

[bravesnumberone]

**** all this ****.

WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS GAME.

[jsebe10]

Please pick up Kris guys...

He did his job getting our team amped by K'ing the side to start the game, we haven't done him much help.

Looks like Medlen may start game 4 over Garcia if we get there.

Haven't really done much for him all season anyway.

[thethe]

Same old Braves, can't even get upset anymore....it's to be expected.

Same way I feel.

[JusticeForAll23]

This playoff first round failure every year is getting old. I have zero confidence in this mentally week team
This has been going on for over a decade, so it's more like "mentally weak franchise". I'm also a Colts fan, so I'm somewhat conditioned to expect playoff failure. From about 2000-2005 I just thought it was normal for MLB teams and NFL teams to finish with the best record in the league and then fall flat on their face in the playoffs.

[weso1]

Season over. Great job Medlen, you really gave us a shot.

Well even that's a bit over the top for me. I mean this was always the most likely game of the first three that we lose. Shouldn't panic even if we lose tonight. Win the next two and we're in a good position.

[Bdawg2309]

demolish turner field already.. nothing but playoff failure in that field

[The Chosen One]

In other news, we've shattered the record for most users online...

[gtcway]

If the Braves get swept, I'm officially done with baseball.

[Enscheff]

In all honesty, the score should be 1-0 dodgers.

[The Chosen One]

In all honesty, the score should be 1-0 dodgers.

But instead it's 8-0.

[Bdawg2309]

5-21 in home playoff games since 99

[weso1]

In other news, we've shattered the record for most users online...

Lots of bots watching this game.

[thethe]

Simmons is the man. Lets score some runs!

[The Chosen One]

If I'm Fredi I bunt twice here with two pitchers coming up to bat.

[NYCBrave]

**** all this ****.

WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS GAME.

Drunk?

[BRule]

If the Braves get swept, I'm officially done with baseball.

I picked LA in a sweep, so it wouldn't shock me. I can't see us hitting any of their pitching.

[The Chosen One]

Lots of bots watching this game.

The bots are reading the gamethreads from last month in the Archives. lol

[ProbationDeac]

It's not series over, good lord. It might be game over though.

[bravesnumberone]

Well even that's a bit over the top for me. I mean this was always the most likely game of the first three that we lose. Shouldn't panic even if we lose tonight. Win the next two and we're in a good position.

Yeah I'm not ready to wave the white flag. But it isn't that Kershaw is dominating. It's that we are playing stupid baseball right now. In the field, on the basepaths, and our ace, while having some poor luck has not located well. We couldn't afford him making mistakes tonight. We needed him to be at the very top of his game.

[NYCBrave]

If the Braves get swept, I'm officially done with baseball.

you'll be back...

[BRule]

5-21 in home playoff games since 99

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[Five]

This reminds me of Rocky 4, Kershaw as Drago, someone hit the F***** in the middle.

[weso1]

The epic comeback starts this inning.

[bravesnumberone]

Drunk?

Just disheartened and praying for a miracle.

[CK86]

Ugh come on Braves.

[Pugfan]

This has been going on for over a decade, so it's more like "mentally weak franchise". I'm also a Colts fan, so I'm somewhat conditioned to expect playoff failure. From about 2000-2005 I just thought it was normal for MLB teams and NFL teams to finish with the best record in the league and then fall flat on their face in the playoffs.

As a lifelong Broncos fan going back to the days of getting blown out in the Super Bowls, I feel your pain. Plus that fluke loss to the Ravens.

[The Chosen One]

Pick up yourself Medlen.

[drewdat]

The epic comeback starts this inning.

Yeah, hopefully we can be the first team to come back from 3-0 in the NLDS.

[atl717]

2-0 and you are Elliott Johnson. Why are you swinging?

[holden]

Yep. Decision to not play Uggla now shown to be as stupid as it always was.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Ron Darling asks who would you rather have, Dan Uggla or Elliot Johnson.

Never thought I'd actually have to give a long thought about an answer to that question

[The Chosen One]

2-0 and you are Elliott Johnson. Why are you swinging?

Because you are Elliot Johnson.

[Enscheff]

Kershaw is suddenly a bit wild

[Five]

2-0 and you are Elliott Johnson. Why are you swinging?

In there for his defense.....oh wait.

[bravesnumberone]

We are the dumbest team in baseball. Maybe the Astros are dumber. 2-0 down 4 runs and swinging.

[zitothebrave]

Medlen is in Kershaw's head!

[drewdat]

Ron Darling asks who would you rather have, Dan Uggla or Elliot Johnson.

Never thought I'd actually have to give a long thought about an answer to that question

The answer, of course: no.

[Dalyn]

This Postseason.TV sucks almost as much ass as this game (so far).

[Enscheff]

Medley should be taking the next 3

[gtcway]

you'll be back...

If I do I'll pick a team that actually wins in the postseason

[zitothebrave]

We are the dumbest team in baseball. Maybe the Astros are dumber. 2-0 down 4 runs and swinging.

And that is why I wanted Uggla.

[holden]

Kershaw not really sharp tonight either. EJ swinging 2-0 was really, epically dumb.

[CK86]

I'm legitimately stunned he didn't swing 3-0 the way this night has gone.

[Bdawg2309]

The bots are reading the gamethreads from last month in the Archives. lol

ron and jerry starke

[holden]

Would've given Medlen the green light 3-0. Why not?

[Dalyn]

Why is the pitcher swinging 3-1? Forget it. Don't answer that. :facepalm:

[Pugfan]

I just hope the team will try tomorrow. It doesn't look like they are tonight.

[jsebe10]

Kershaw is suddenly a bit wild

Had a bug in his eye... He'll be back on top shortly.

[The Chosen One]

Why is the pitcher swinging 3-1? Forget it. Don't answer that. :facepalm:

That was gonna be a strike.

[holden]

lol Medlen swinging at ball 4. Braves playoff baseball!!

[Freshmaker]

Good job Meds...take some pitches.

[holden]

swung at ball four TWICE. hilarious.

[bravesnumberone]

I mean literally...what the **** goes on in that locker room when it's postseason time?

[Dalyn]

That was gonna be a strike.

You still shouldn't have a green light there.

[NYCBrave]

Why is the pitcher swinging 3-1? Forget it. Don't answer that. :facepalm:

:fredi:

[CrimsonCowboy]

The answer, of course: no.

Answer to the question on Opening Day next year may very well be Tommy LaStella

[4maddux_cy's]

Kershaw not exactly locating atm.

[Enscheff]

How many of you would have PH for medlen there?

[gtcway]

Kershaw not exactly locating atm.

Except the Braves won't score a single run.

[jsebe10]

Lefties need to just bag it in tonight.

[thethe]

How many of you would have PH for medlen there?

Not me. We don't really have a surefire bench anyway.

[4maddux_cy's]

Except the Braves won't score a single run.

This

[weso1]

I meant to say the epic comeback starts next inning.

[zitothebrave]

Look at all the wins!!

[CK86]

****.

[holden]

Kershaw not even close to at top form, but we're squandering every opportunity. Shouldn't let it bother me. It's the Braves in the postseason.

[weso1]

Not me. We don't really have a surefire bench anyway.

Yeah really. Medlen really is pretty close to what we have on the bench.

[The Chosen One]

Kershaw not even close to at top form, but we're squandering every opportunity. Shouldn't let it bother me. It's the Braves in the postseason.

Braves in the postseason?

It's the Braves. We'd be doing this is this were the regular season as well.

[bravesnumberone]

Kershaw at 51. So at least we've made him work somewhat. I guess...hell just ignore I even said it.

[Enscheff]

Now medlen must hold them, and the heart of the order has to answer in the bottom of the fourth. If they don't this game is over

[bravesnumberone]

Now medlen must hold them, and the heart of the order has to answer in the bottom of the fourth. If they don't this game is over

Pretty much. Evan owes us a three-run bomb.

[NYCBrave]

Kershaw at 51. So at least we've made him work somewhat. I guess...hell just ignore I even said it.

It would matter if we could chip away here with him not at top form, but we're not doing much

[The Chosen One]

It's a moral victory just to get Kershaw to a 2-2 count.

[weso1]

Kershaw at 51. So at least we've made him work somewhat. I guess...hell just ignore I even said it.

Yeah... I'd feel encouraged to this point. I mean with a pitcher like Kershaw all you can do is hope you find some holes and make him work.

The defense and pitching is what is letting us down in this one.

[The Chosen One]

Why can't we find gaps like that. Jesus.

[zitothebrave]

Woo corner OF defense!!

[holden]

I guess I should just relish in the fact that even if Medlen had been smart and taken his walk, no way Heyward wouldn't have bounced into a 4-6-3.

Two doubles to Ellis on poorly-played balls by our corner outfielders. Braves postseason baseball: feel the magic!

[CyYoung31]

I hate baseball.

[NYCBrave]

A.J. Ellis hit .203 in September, and had 3 doubles the whole month. He has 2 in this game. Braves post season baseball!

[CK86]

I now expect Kershaw to hit a homer.

[VirginiaBrave]

I told ya we'd miss Uggs...

[weso1]

BALK!

[bravesnumberone]

Screw it, just put BJ out there tomorrow, so I don't have to sit through Gattis in left and Justin in right.

[The Chosen One]

I told ya we'd miss Uggs...

Let's just DL Elliot Johnson with anxiety disorder the rest of the series.

[JusticeForAll23]

I know this kinda goes against all the playoff failures we had with a few legit aces, but until someone on this staff turns into one or we trade for one, we're not going anywhere until we get a legitimate ace. Our rotation and pitching depth is great and all for the regular season, but this fringe/pseudo-ace stuff rarely cuts it in the playoffs.

[VirginiaBrave]

Its time for the Braves to admit Gattis is not an outfielder...

[Five]

Our rotation and pitching depth is great and all for the regular season, but this fringe/pseudo-ace stuff rarely cuts it in the playoffs.

Truth.

EDIT: Medlen is FAR FAR FAR away from being even considered an ace.

[The Chosen One]

Our rotation and pitching depth is great and all for the regular season, but this fringe/pseudo-ace stuff rarely cuts it in the playoffs.

Aces don't just grow on trees.

[The Chosen One]

I really want to cry right now.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Just not our night

[holden]

Turned it off. Medlen gave us nothing.

[bravesnumberone]

Aces don't just grow on trees.

Doesn't change the fact we're going to have to get one to have a better chance at winning games like this.

[jpx7]

Magic Johnson can go **** himself.

[KayJayNZ]

God, I wish there was a 'white flag' emoticon.

I'm out.

[NYCBrave]

I really want to cry right now.

I know we wanted to come out and take game 1, but it's fine, we'll win tomorrow and be even in the series and go from there.

[The Chosen One]

Magic Johnson can go **** himself.

Is it possible to re-transmit the virus to himself?

[bravesnumberone]

One thing is for sure. Mike Minor had better find it within himself to pitch the best damn game of his career tomorrow.

[gtcway]

soon to be 8-0

[TXBravesFan]

Magic Johnson can go **** himself.

Unprotected.

[The Chosen One]

I'm going to re-watch the top of the first inning, think happy thoughts.... and then probably leave the house.

[drewdat]

I guess if you're going to melt, leave no observable trace.

[Bdawg2309]

still think it should've been teheran tomorrow.. better home ERA.. and minor has the better road ERA

[Dalyn]

Magic Johnson can go **** himself.

He doesn't want to give himself AIDS.

[bravesnumberone]

More like the October version of the Braves the last decade can go **** itself. Tired of this ****. Let's come back tomorrow and even it. Then hope for the best in LA.

[zitothebrave]

Turned it off. Medlen gave us nothing.

Can't blame him too much. No he didn't pitch as well as Kershaw. But the issues with all the runs but the homer were on our D.

[AJonesATL]

Well we should all be very very thankful for the hit by Gattis...Otherwise the no hitter would still be in tact

[The Chosen One]

More like the October version of the Braves the last decade can go **** itself. Tired of this ****. Let's come back tomorrow and even it. Then hope for the best in LA.

Even better, let's go back out there and win today!!!

[holden]

Kinda shocked we handled that pop-up.

[CyYoung31]

Magic Johnson can go **** himself.

Don't want to give his AIDS AIDS.

[The Chosen One]

Perhaps Medlen was overthrowing/overpitching the last few innings because he realized Gattis, Justin, Elliot are 3 big defensive liabilities out there.

[bravesnumberone]

Now could we maybe show some heart and make this thing a little interesting?

[jcc03004]

He doesn't want to give himself AIDS.
Wow offensively this is what I was afraid of pitching wise never expected this out of Medlen god minor had better come up big tommorow were only going as far as our pitching takes us

[bravesfan247]

The problem we have is what all of us knew but didn't want to admit. We have no #1 pitcher. None. They have 2. What does that always equal in the playoffs? NO CHANCE.

[holden]

Even better, let's go back out there and win today!!!

Well, we'd be in the game if our D didn't completely poop the bed, that's true. And I'd feel at least somewhat hopeful given how shaky Kershaw has been himself.

Hilarious that not playing BJ and Uggla probably cost us any shot in this one. You can't just run a guy out there and hope they don't hit a ball to him all night.

[jsebe10]

Now could we maybe show some heart and make this thing a little interesting?

They need to show some damn heart and make it interesting from the 1st pitch.

[jpx7]

I hate baseball.

I'm assuming it reflects poorly on me, as a person, that I'm hoping Magic Johnson gives all the Dodgers rapid-onset HIV?

[Julio3000]

Banjo hitters swinging 2-0?
Bleeders falling in?
Outfielders throwing to the wrong base?

I picked the wrong day to stop snorting cocaine.

/chipcaray

Who am I kidding?

/chipcaray

[weso1]

Any bots want to comment on the game thus far?

[Five]

The problem we have is what all of us knew but didn't want to admit. We have no #1 pitcher. None. They have 2. What does that always equal in the playoffs? NO CHANCE.

At least we got Scott Downs at the deadline.

[bravesnumberone]

I'm assuming it reflects poorly on me, as a person, that I'm hoping Magic Johnson gives all the Dodgers rapid-onset HIV?

Thank you for making me laugh. That will get me through the night and the next couple days.

[jsebe10]

Kershaw hangs a changeup and upton misses it

[JusticeForAll23]

Aces don't just grow on trees.
I understand that, and I'm still holding out hope Teheran turns into one. But right now we're also in a National League with the Cardinals and Dodgers who have legit aces. So anytime we make the playoffs, odds are we're going to have to play one of them in the NLDS, and beating them is going to be extremely tough. And the Cardinals have Miller, Wacha, and Carlos Martinez on the way. So even when Wainwright starts to slow down, odds are the Cardinals will still have at least one true/legit ace in one of one or two of those three. Haven't seen enough of Martinez to really say, but Miller at least looked great at home and Wacha looked really good in his limited time in the bigs.

And obviously Kershaw is going to be around for awhile. So when we're having to throw a Medlen or Minor or Beachy out for game 1 against a Kershaw or Wainwright or Miller or Wacha for the foreseeable future, winning a playoff series and getting off to a good start in a playoff series (game 1 win) is going to always be tough. I know that's a lot of speculation, but it's a very real possibility.

Least then they could play the song "everyone has aids" before each at-bat.

[jsebe10]

Lmfao. Poor Freddie doesn't have a chance

[bravesnumberone]

Kershaw hangs a changeup and upton misses it

The difference between them and us. They take advantage of our mistakes.

Nice. Thanks.

[The Chosen One]

Wow. Can't believe that just happened.

[jsebe10]

Gattis on the 6-4-3 ?

[CrimsonCowboy]

Lets talk up Puig some more on a basic average play

[The Chosen One]

Gattis on the 6-4-3 ?

:snort:

[Dalyn]

I'm assuming it reflects poorly on me, as a person, that I'm hoping Magic Johnson gives all the Dodgers rapid-onset HIV?

Character is overrated.

[Dalyn]

On top of everything else, I am stuck with this ****ty postseason.tv feed.

[The Chosen One]

Hmmmm.

Braves getting my hopes up again it appears.

[CK86]

It sucks that Kershaw hasn't even been good tonight and still have a big fat 0 on the board.

[jsebe10]

Smart walk by Kershaw to get to the lefty McCann

[nsacpi]

Kershaw hasn't been exceptionally sharp tonight.

[Enscheff]

This is the chance to get back into this game

[Five]

Gattis will get picked off first, watch.

[cajunrevenge]

Infield fly time.

[bravesnumberone]

Hmmmm.

Braves getting my hopes up again it appears.

:Sad:

[bravesnumberone]

Kershaw hasn't been exceptionally sharp tonight.

Too bad Medlen/defense was a colossal fail.

[Dalyn]

McCann has a bunt opening at third.

[The Chosen One]

Infield fly time.

If there were a way for me to give you more than one thanks, I'd do it.

I really needed that laugh.

[holden]

Most amazing Puig fact: he plays pretty good defense in right field despite these analysts dangling from his junk

[The Chosen One]

Thanks for making me shake my head again Ron Darling by bringing up that miserable stat.

[CK86]

Come on Braves, suck less!

[Five]

hahahaha, no ****ing breaks

[thethe]

Obviously he will fly out to the wall.

[Krovahn]

Damn it. So close.

[bravesnumberone]

Most amazing Puig fact: he plays pretty good defense in right field despite these analysts dangling from his junk

To be fair, he took third on a single he had no business doing so on, not to mention getting inside Medlen's head in the second.

[The Chosen One]

We should've tagged there.

Crawford has as good of an arm as Nate McLouth.

[MrShwag]

Warning track'er.. that never happens.

[Dalyn]

****ing monkey butt sex.


CHRIS!

[CK86]

Good deal, avoided the shutout.

[holden]

McCann gave it a ride. Please extend him. I'm not a believer in Gattis.

[nsacpi]

Lord BABIP

[bravesnumberone]

Get in the weight room, McCann.

[The Chosen One]

YES.

FINALLY.

[thethe]

BABIP!!!

Let's go TRON!

[Five]

BABles

[zitothebrave]

Woooooo a run! Maybe we can haz one moar??

[holden]

I really like CJ. I know there's no way he can keep this up.. but there he is.

[Julio3000]

Bloop it, bleed it, BABIP it...oh no!

[Enscheff]

Pop one here

[bravesnumberone]

Of course we scored after it was 5-0.

[Dalyn]

We should've tagged there.

Crawford has as good of an arm as Nate McLouth.


Yep. Would be 5-2. But why play quality baseball when we can play pin the tail on the ****ing jackass?

[jpx7]

To be fair, he took third on a single he had no business doing so on, not to mention getting inside Medlen's head in the second.

He should and shall burn in the worst bowels of eternity.

[bravesnumberone]

Bloop it, bleed it, BABIP it...oh no!

I'm flashing back to playing "BOP IT" as a child.

[The Chosen One]

Knowing our luck, Andrelton will get infield flied here by the umps with 2 outs.

[4maddux_cy's]

what was that swng on the 1-1 pitch andrelton?

[Five]

Always trying to hit one ****ing 400 ft

These are the situations we have to come through on.

My brother is in the room next to me. That TV has a feed 2 seconds faster than my room.

If I hear him say F--K then I know something bad has happened.

Dan Uggla swing.....nice

[jsebe10]

Damn what a nasty pitch. Lol Jesus. Poor Simmons

[Dalyn]

Uggla would've hit a three-run shot there. No doubt.

[zitothebrave]

Effin A Simmons. Effin A

[The Chosen One]

Just makes me sad knowing probably all 9 batters in the Cardinals lineup would have laid off that pitch and walked.

[Enscheff]

At least they showed some life. Tack on 1-2 more when the top gets back up in the 6th, then take your chances against the dodgers bp.

[CK86]

I would've been more surprised if the ball had actually gotten put in play.

[bravesnumberone]

Nothing you can do on that one. But the 1-1 pitch? Again, no damn sense.

[The Chosen One]

What's the LOB number so far.

Lol you should prob rewind that to that last pitch. Lol it was nasty. Professional pitch right there.

[4maddux_cy's]

Wow, Iowa State leads Texas by 4 in the 4th quarter fyi.

[cajunrevenge]

What's the LOB number so far.

No hit a bloop ground-rule triple that that stupid damn Yankees fan from 1996 against Baltimore would have interfered with. Also, Kershaw's head would have exploded, and Puig would have been captured by Fidel Castro. All on the same play.

[Five]

Good pitch, way to keep it down.

[pfiggy]

What's the LOB number so far.

4 Dodgers
3 Braves

[Dalyn]

Bully Braves show up! :happy0157:

[Five]

Alright Medlen, all is forgiven, way to hit that ****.

[bravesnumberone]

Christ, is a 1-2-3 inning too much?
