10/07/18 GDT NLDS Game 3: Dodgers @ Braves The Final Game of 2018

[CyYoung31]

This game has 8-6 loss written all over it.

Right?

[striker42]

Can we fore Chuck Hernandez now? When he was hired people were pointing out the tendency of his staffs to give up walks and walks have been a huge issue for us.

[NYCBrave]

Agreed, but the plan is to get more than 1 inning out of Gaus vs the RHHs. He needs to go until Pederson comes up at least.

I'm guessing he looks better this inning.

Curious to see if they pinch hit Pederson for Kemp. And if so do we counter with Venters for Pederson and Bellinger?

[Braves1976]

Freddie has been the most disappointed part about this for me. He’s done absolutely nothing for the team in the playoffs thus far.

not giving him and markakis days off before playoffs was stupid.

Mine has been Freddie, Neck, and Camargo....Combined 2 for 21 with 7Ks

I expected Markakis, honestly. He’s been awful for months. Freddie and Camargo have surprised me. Camargo has been especially bad.

What reaction?

Snit quote from DOB, "I talked to Kevin, and he was like, whatever we gotta do. " Doesn't sound very gung ho to me!!

[GeorgiaGirl]

Snitker is willing to listen on analytics, but he just isn't there yet. It shouldn't have been Gausman in the middle of the inning, Sobotka should've gotten up when the walk happened and Gausman should've began throwing then too. Let him spend an inning warming up before coming in.

[Freshmaker]

Nice work Kevin

He settled in as I expected.

At some point he is going to face Perserson, Muncy or Bellinger with guys on base, at which point Venters needs to come in.

[msstate7]

Nice inning, gausman.

[jpx7]

We’re perfectly set up for a heartbreaking implosion.

We know.

[CrimeDog247]

Got to tack on some more insurance runs.

[nsacpi]

Gausman definitely needs to go back for one trip through the order. Make the Dodgers commit to their LHHs if they are going to do that so we can exploit the platoons later. He'll be fine starting an inning.

yup...big that he got a three up three out inning...my guess is next inning the Dodgers use a lefty pinch hitter for the pitchers spot and maybe a lefty for taylor

[UNCBlue012]

Gaus, man.

[UNCBlue012]

Dang.

[bravesnumberone]

And now we've let him get in the groove after that abysmal at bat by Freeman.

[Diesel]

Past couple of at bats for Albies his timing is noticeably better. Leg kick is syncing up and he’s getting that foot down to launch his swing. Results in better sequence and barrel path.

[NYCBrave]

We’re perfectly set up for a heartbreaking implosion.

Why is this so sad yet so true??!!
