    Must win. I work til 8 today so I'll be running home drom work grabbing dinner on the way so that I don't have to risk missing any of the action. I'll be more into this game than yesterdays even if it's a blowout simply because this may be the last time I watch the Braves until next April. (Don't count preseason)

    I took the day off tomorrow because this is going to be a late night. Hopefully my loyalty to the team will be rewarded lol.

    Same boat my friend. I work until 8 and the game starts at 7:30 for me. Gonna record the first 45 minutes or so and stay off the internet and my phone until I am watching it live.

    I think we'll score some runs off Nolasco. Five solid innings, or even four, from Garcia would be great. Carpenter and Kimbrel were not used last night. I expect those two to pitch three innings between them.

    I'd actually like to hear the explanation of not going with Medlen to give us our best chance to win, but of course the cream puff Atlanta media doesn't want to ruffle any feathers.

    Two questions. What would you expect from Garcia tonight? What would you expect from Medlen?

    I'm waiting for someone out there to give some data on the performance of guys going on three days rest in the playoffs.

    I'm not advocating either one really. But with the season on the line, I'd like to see us use our ace of the past 2 months, even if it's only on 3 days rest. I have no idea what to expect out of Garcia. He wasn't very good last year with the Yankees in the playoffs, and wasn't very good before we picked him up.

    For many, it's the principle of go with what got you to the dance, not the scraps you found on the side of the road that was left for dead.

    I personally would rather have Medlen in there just because, he helped us get to the dance. At the same time I'm not bashing Fredi for using Freddy.
    Forever Fredi

    Hopefully Fredi has Medlen in the pen ready to go if it's a close game and we need multiple innings. I'd rather burn him today than get eliminated while trying to stretch Garcia or by putting someone like Hale in there for too long. We won't have Wood available I presume, Avilan may not be available, so we're a little low on options.

    Here's the best I can find on 3 days rest stats, draw your own conclusions:

    I saw nothing out of Medlen that makes me think he would be more effective on short rest than Garcia will be.

    Having said that, if Garcia's spot in the lineup comes up in the 2nd or 3rd with men on base, Fredi better PH for him. The BP should be able to handle 6-7 innings in an elimination game. They have all offseasone to rest if they fail.

    I think the plan for tonight has to be:

    Innings 1-4: Garcia (possibly with help from Hale or Avilan if necessary)

    Inning 5: Ayala

    Inning 6: Avilan/Walden/Hale

    Innings 7-9: Carpenter/Kimbrel

    Innings 10 and beyond: Medlen

    Thanks for that. Check my math, but I come up with a 4.7 ERA for the group.

    How many of those outcomes would you consider "acceptable"?

    Avilan threw 9 pitches last night. He will be available.
