GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

[bravesfanforlife88]

I agree with all of this - I even question the playoff ability of the GDT starter…….

SO - to combat, I am summoning Jobu, Cy’s Mom, and requesting that Mississippi start double fisting the silver bullets right now.

GDT starter can be sneaky clutch. Or late season Elder bad.....much like todays actual starter.

Well, just like with Elder, we are all rootin’ for you !!

I believe in you- just get it effing done.

And we got Slippy and Strider coming in tomorrow to finish these troglodytes off for good!

[Tapate50]

Never forget even Bryce Wilson can be a postseason Nolan Ryan!

[NinersSBChamps]

I hung around in the game 2 thread and they came back to live another day. First GDT I’ve been a part of all year. I am batting a thousand and that number will remain the same after tonight.

[Hulavol]

Niners is IN !! That’s the right damn attitude !
LFG !!

[CrimsonCowboy]

Whatever………

[UNCBlue012]

I'll be 10 whiskey sours deep at 5 p.m. for my wife's work celebration, so I very likely won't follow or contribute here... let's hope I come back with a win a no hangover.

Whatever………

…by winning game 2..?

The complex the Phillies and their fans have is fascinating

[OcalaBrave]

Its not the Phillies, its the entire town.
I guess if I lived there I'd probably have a complex as well.

[Metaphysicist]

Oh no, please don't invoke the memory of a Brave who hit .533/.588/.667 with 5 SB in the '92 World Series, anything but that.

Lmao. My thoughts exactly.

I think we all know Edler is gonna 2 2/3 with 4 runs and 4 BBs

[JCarbo76]

I really think Murphy and co are hiding an injury from all the HBP's he's had. On top of that, catcher is the most brutal position on the field bar none.

I'm interested in seeing what his pop up time the last few weeks and first few games of the postseason are, because he honestly didn't look all that sharp throwing either.

His exit velo I think has gone down a bunch as well.

I think there is zero doubt that Murphy has been injured the entire second half.

That is a gross amount of sour mix lol

But what if he goes 7 giving up only 3 hits and no runs like he did against them his first time this year in June? I’m hopeful we will see a different Elder on extra rest.

Don‘t like Elder starting. His control has been terrible recently, and the Phillies don‘t help out by chasing stuff in the dirt. No place to nibble.

Same. Short leash hopefully.

[thewupk]

Wish Acuna would start hitting the ball hard

[Ozzie Swanson]

Need Ronald to get going.

[bravesfanforlife88]

terrible at bats from Acuna and Albies
