GDT 10/12/21: Braves vs Brewers - NLDS Game 4

[Enscheff]

Yet he's only pitched on short rest one time in his career... when he was with the Braves the first time. Short rest has a bad vibe for me as it rarely goes well for any pitcher.

Agreed. This is not the right move to make.

Even if Morton goes in a short outing he will be facing the LHH version of the Brewers. Smyly could come in after Morton and face the lineup once though.

This should have been a LHP starting, followed by Ynoa or Smyly.

[bravesfanMatt]

There is a key for today, but I am not sure what it is... any thoughts?

[Enscheff]

The key is the Braves are going to absolutely destroy this LHP.

Oh, and don't be stupid overextending Morton.

why did Braves have him pitch on short rest? Seems odd.

I agree.

[Nerfherders]

I'm hoping it's a deke just to make the Brewers commit to their lefties, than put Smyly in 3-5, or until Counsell switches his hitters.

[UNCBlue012]

This is the key. I’m all for him playing the opener, but he needs be pulled no later than after the second time through.

Given he threw 85 pitches on Saturday, I'd be shocked if he goes more than two or three innings, even if he's cruising.

Everybody wants to be me, and everybody wants to be in my mom.

I am inevitable.

He was. And removed from the NLDS roster for Pache.

[UNCBlue012]

Soler with COVID-19. Swanson, Freeman, Albies, Riley, Duvall, Pederson, d'Arnaud, Heredia, Morton

That's a huge loss.

[CJ9]

Braves October luck, man. Always something.

Just find a way to clinch and hope he comes back soon.

[GovClintonTyree]

Soler tested positive….Yiu gotta be fckn kidding me! God damnit!

OMG I hope that's as far as it goes.

[jsebe10]

Soler with COVID-19. Swanson, Freeman, Albies, Riley, Duvall, Pederson, d'Arnaud, Heredia, Morton

That's a huge loss.

That’s a massive loss…Hes obviously not sick…This **** is getting ridiculously old.

[CJ9]

And Snit's fix here is to hit Dansby lead off. Ha.

[bravesfanMatt]

board name strikes again..

[Coredor]

Are they still testing vaccinated players if they don’t have symptoms?
