Even if we go down 0-2 I think we can still win the series if Melancon can figure things out. This thing is far from over.

Just like in the 2012 WC game, the hottest pitcher in baseball will lose in the postseason. This time it's the cardinals' guy though. Braves win tomorrow... I have spoken
Is Teheran fighting injuries? Seems like he went side arm a lot at the end of this season.
There's 3 options with Folty tomorrow:
1. He gets crushed. There's even history here, but some of it is before last year and before sinker Folty showed up.
2. He dominates and shocks us all. 7 IP with 10 Ks.
3. Folty doesn't make it deep because he gets overheated.
The Cardinals weren't thrilled by how Ronald Acuña Jr. rounded the bases on his 9th inning homer, enough that Yadier Molina went to the mound to calm Carlos Martinez down afterwards.
Postgame, Martinez said: "I wanted him to respect the game & respect me as a veteran player."
Lol someone might want to tell him Molina was pumping his fists after he threw out Acuña in the first inning of game 1 like he was Jordan after sinking a game winning shot in game 7.
Cardinals are such a piece of **** double standard franchise with their respect the game bull****. How many needles do you need sticking out of your ass to respect the game?
If Acuna gets plunked then look for Folty to tag Molina. It could get ugly quick.
The loss should surprise no one; braves are 8-12 after an open date.
