Playoff GDT 10/7/19: Braves @ Cardinals Game 4 - The Death Blow for the Dead Birds

[bravesfanMatt]

Rookie error locking the clinching game day thread. Pressure might be too great for our laider

[thewupk]

Sav?

yeah. how dare he close this thread down

[Snowman]

Snit played that pretty well with oday ready in case Goldy came up with a runner on base.

I haven’t had any real issues with Snits usage of the pitching staff this series.

He's had massive problems using the right relievers to face Wong and (especially) Carpenter. I would argue that two of Fried's outings should have been longer. And using Melancon in game two was awful.

[Braves1976]

i wanted o'day a full inning, he is being under used as dominate as he can be when on.

[The Chosen One]

Sav?

Cajun was correct. Win or lose people will complain who the leader is.

If we win this game and series, nobody will give credit to the person who made the GDT rotation that broke the curse.

[Buzzworm]

Shouldn’t Ortega be hitting here?

[thewupk]

I loved how Duvall was considered a AAA callup. lol

[zbhargrove]

Shouldn’t Ortega be hitting here?

I don't think so... I bet Francisco against righties is still quite a bit better than Ortega against righties... he should only be a last resort pinch hit option or pinch runner, like Hamilton

[USMA76]

Carpenter's defense is magical today.

Edit: looks like that one really may have been more on Molina than Carpenter, in all honesty.

Another break, take advantage again

[USMA76]

Another break, take advantage again

We did.

Shouldn’t Ortega be hitting here?

Well, there is going to be another AB for that spot in the lineup. Likely against a RHP.

Max Freid in to pinch run for Cervelli

[WaitingFor2017]

Max Fried PR? NVM just heard on TV he is out today.

[The Chosen One]

Fried pinch running. So guess he isn't available.

[Five]

BMac is due

[Heyward]

Guessing Fried isnt available today then.

[nsacpi]

Max Freid in to pinch run for Cervelli

not a bad move

[striker42]

Well, it's clear Fried was not available to pitch today.

[Heyward]

We did.

Need to score, 4 isnt gonna hold up.
