Why would Flowers DH? TDA would DH to rest his legs.
I think Camargo will surprise many Braves fans with offense tonight. He definitely has a better arm and is more accurate than Riley.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I’m always holding my breath when Riley gets a ball hit to him.
Thought the same thing when I read that BS about Flowers DH and have TDA catch. No rest for the weary.

He's flashed potential in the past. Hopefully we can catch lightning in a bottle for 1 game. Wish Ian or Wright could teach him the change-up.
Although not as much as when we put Sandoval out there

Seriously. TDA hasn’t had a day off behind the plate the entire postseason. And if this series goes 6 or 7 he will need days off.
Was easily the right choice to start instead of Ynoa. Neither is an ideal choice, but Wilson looked better in his chances in September, but bet they're just looking to get him through the order once.
Was thinking that day would be tomorrow. Let Flowers handle the potential bullpen game.
He finished with a positive bWAR despite that batting line, if that tells you anything.
I would think he would be on a pitch count.
That wasn't the point of my post. The point is the alternative to starting Camargo @ 3b is to start Flowers (whether at C or DH). The offensive difference likely isn't significant enough to risk Ozuna's terrible defense in LF. May be over a larger sample size, but for 1 game, give me the better defensive set-up.
Technically he's had several days off between series. And being the shortened season, his legs should be more fresh than if he had just caught 130 games and gone straight into the postseason.

The good thing about winning every game so far is that TDA has had plenty of rest between series.

I read somewhere (and of course can't remember where, likely twitter), that Urias would likely be 75-85 pitches. He's really good, but has been injured a ton in the past and so still has the kid gloves on so to speak. He's not a guy that's gonna throw 110 pitches over 8 innings. If we're not into their pen by the 6th I'll be stunned
While that’s true it’s still a tough ask to possibly have a catcher catch 7 or even 6 games in 7 days. To keep his bat in the lineup it would make the most sense to move him to DH vs the 2 LHP and put the RH Flowers in for Markakis. Flowers also does great framing behind the plate.
Not confident in Wright vs this lineup.
LT Dans with a yuge game.
Go Braves
Makes sense to limit Urias for a potential game 6 or 7 if the World Series Dodgers get that far.
He has good stuff, but I expect our boys to tag him for a couple runs early on and really ramp up the pressure on the Dodgers altogether.
How was the 27th out recorded?
