It was clear on the later innings especially that they were hacking early still. They never adapted to Kershaw and the Dogers game plan
    Yeah, even if you don't consider analytics, a lot of teams try to swing early against Kershaw. The thing is, he's the rare pitcher in which unless you're a team of black magic, working 10+ pitch at bats is not going to get him. Swinging early is going to.

    The thing is, some of the pitches chosen to hit at weren't bad choices. Kershaw pitched well, he didn't dominate like people said. It was him pitching well combining with outside of Acuna, some pitches to hit being missed and being another team to fail to elevate the sliders that don't have great location from him:

    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Braves aren’t ready to play with the big boys it’s as simple as that.

    I fully believe that these guys can look themselves in the mirror, dig deep, and summon the will to score maybe one or two runs, particularly with the help of a blown call, or if an LA outfielder falls down or something.

    Maybe I'm crazy, but with the way this season has gone, with the streakiness, I wouldn't be shocked of we make this a series.

    Snit said they changed their mind because the situation is "dire," and that Newk gives them the best chance since he's "pitched so well against them this year."

    yeah...I like Newk more in this situation...if there is a game 4 I think it will be Folty

    I know Ryu and Kershaw were dominant, but I’m disappointed in Freddie. .125 is not veteran-like.

    How does a dude with poor command going against a team that sees the most pitches per PA give you the best chance to win? He’s also an extreme fly ball pitcher going up against a homer happy lineup. I’d think a ground ball pitcher like Gausman would be a better bet. And it’s not like the Dodgers struggle against LHP anymore either.

    It reeks of pathetic desperation.

    He had his best velocity of the season in his last start. Had even better velo in his relief appearance on the last day of the season. And threw well in game 2. I think his arm has bounced back.

    Facing elimination is the definition of pathetically desperate...no?

    You don’t just desperately fish for something in this situation. You still play the odds.

    I think you ask Newcomb to air it out for 3-4 innings with everything he's got and then go to the pen early with Touki/Fried/Gausman.
