    The Dodgers has the momentum right now no doubt. But this Braves team is ready bust loose I feel like. Acuna hasn’t done squat so he’s due for a big game and so is Ozuna. If we can get just one of them going I think we win tonight. But the key to the game is keeping Betts and Seager in check.

    It would be disappointing if the Braves lost tonight, but the season would be far from a failure. Think about it.

    Lost Soroka early in the season
    Got basically nothing from Cole Hamels
    Will Smith missed the first couple weeks due to Covid
    Acuna and Albies missed a chunk of the season
    Felix Hernandez opted out
    Folty, Newcombe, and Touki could not be effective starters
    Lost Duvall in Game 1

    All of the above and the Braves still pushing the Dodgers, arguably the best team on paper, to a Game 7 in the NLCS. That's actually rather remarkable.

    I;ll let it go when he isnt on the team anymore. To be clear I dont hate him as a person. From all I have heard he is a great guy. I hope he sells the hell out of insurance once he retires because this baseball thing just aint for him. He isnt good at it. Few people have been more posibrave than me over the years, but Melvin is flat out the worst pitcher I have ever seen in 30 years of watching MLB. I feel like a battered wife who keeps going back for more thinking every time things will change. It wont. We need to accept that and move on.


    How many of you were ****ting on picking Soroka or Anderson. I atleast waited until Wright was Melvining in the majors before ****ting on him.

    If Soroka were healthy would Bryse Wilson have gotten a start?

    Yes because we still had Minter start a game.

    We aren't winning this game. This team will feel the pressure. And as good as Anderson is, you feel like he's just due for a blow up start. He's not gonna keep putting up zeroes.

    We blew it in Game 5. It was our game to win.

    I have made my stance on what I think is a failure of a season and what isn’t. Not going into that again though.
    They can still have been successful this season if they come up short tonight or in the next round. This was an odd season to begin with and it’s really hard to gauge success/failures as it is.

    Let’s save the talk about pros cons or reflections on the season once the season is over!

    My guess is May/Urías early. But we have hit May well so hopefully we continue that

    I wouldn't like this if I was a Dodgers fan, indeed.

    So you are wrong on both accounts. May is RHP and no Charlie.

    Sorry we missed on Camargo in place of Riley which would equal Charlie. We all should have known that Snits would play Riley with only 3 hits in 23 ABs and 9 Ks.

    I was hoping by the end of last night that this would be a circle of jerks. Instead it’s a circle of tears.
