Julio is gonna smoke these chumps.

More than likely he gives up a 2 run homer in the 1st and shuts them out for 4-5 more innings.

I don't think so- I think he comes out amped and throws a gem. He seems like a "big game" pitcher to me. I don't have the stats to back that up, but seems like he has stepped up big time through the years in big games.
Tonight will be a huge crowd and playoff atmosphere.

[Enscheff]

I don't know how to define "big games", but his only playoff appearance resulted in 2.2 IP giving up 6 ER.

Since that's not enough data for me to say anything, I'll just go with Hula's gut and agree Teheran is a "big game pitcher".

[Braves1976]

I like that they decided to skip Newcomb this series to go for it, Sanchez seems to give us a better shot vs Philly. Though he will have to face off vs Nola. However, Folty now goes tomorrow giving him a better shot.

[Mad Dog Murph]

I think the win last night actually took the pressure off Julio. He should go in loose.

He'll likely get another chance.....That 6ER was against LAD, we most likely get them in round 1....where are we btw in the record for home field?

Just looked it up, we are tied with LAD as far as record goes, they hold the 5-1 advantage in season series

Probably after he retires the first two guys very easily. Please use an opener for JT. Let him face the bottom half of the lineup as he finds his groove.

With this bullpen? HARD PASS :)

Vintage JT

Vintage JT

Good news he hasn't walked anyone yet

[Braves1976]

hopefully that pissed julio off and makes him go after them

[bravesfanforlife88]

Crazy the next 2 fly outs have been an adventure

[Braves1976]

not good, had acuna at second no outs and looks like we will strand him

[Garmel]

If Julio pitches five scoreless innings after this all is forgiven. I do like that's he's pitching in the low 90s instead of the high 80s.

Hopefully it's a repeat of last night, they score one and we come back with more.

Ender was the only person in that park who wasn't expecting a breaking ball there

Terrible AB by Ender nuked that scoring chance.
