    10/5 GDT | Anibal "Dirty" Sanchez VS Clayton Kersh*t | Braves @ Dodgers 7:37 on FS1

    Game one was...hard to watch, if not somewhat predictable. Certainly won't get any style points for howwe lost, either.

    And tonight, we face a probable HoF pitcher, coupled with that unrelenting lineup.

    Here's the thing though; I just don't care.

    We weren't even supposed to be here. And on top of that, we drew the strongest NL team for our first-round series. Why not.

    The Dodgers print money, the Dodgers have more talent, the Dodgers are on a mission.

    ...and I just don't give a ****.

    Not gonna lie, age (among other things) may have tempered the degree(s) of grief that I used to feel with each playoff loss. What hasn't gone away though, is my passion to spit in the face of our sordid playoff history as a franchise.

    This is our team, and I know we're not done yet. We can lose to anybody, but damn, we can beat anybody--even the Dodgers.

    Will we need to play at our best time and again just to have a chance? You know it. Will we need to severely buck our record against teams over .500? You bet your ass.

    And all of this, in a five-game series, where it seems like you're never truly safe or out.

    My head tells me to continue enjoying this ride while it lasts; get the kids experience while building on this.

    But my heart's not so rational. It beats for the Braves in any circumstance, and always will. 'Till the last out, 'till my last out.

    One pitch at a time. One at-bat at a time.

    Tell me we got this.



    Dodgers

    Pederson LF
    Turner 3B
    Muncy 1B
    Machado SS
    Puig RF
    Bellinger CF
    Hernández 2B
    Grandal C

    Everybody on the radio and tv are already writing us off bc Kershaw is pitching tonight. Let’s go out and kick his teeth in and shut everybody up. We have plenty of talent to win this series.

    Anibal needs to make pitch like Freddy Garcia

    Enjoy what’s probably the last win of the season, unless the Braves buck their most recent game 4 trend and revert back to their pre-05 form.

    My strategy for this game is to smoke a blunt every inning. I got the strongest hydro I could find. Half of one of these blunts would put a non smoker out. I watched game 1 sober and everything is better with a bag of weed.

    Want to see us do well, but have a strong feeling this will be a 3 game sweep. We lose tonight and this baby is over

    Last night I wore my white Braves jersey with JUpton 8 on the back so I could match the jersey I bought my 21 month old.

    That jersey is clearly cursed, so I'll be wearing my old blue Chipper 10 jersey tonight. I won't be matching the little monster, but maybe it will be more lucky.

    If Braves dont win tonight it's probably a sweep.

    I fully expect this team to look like a 90 win team tonight after looking like an over matched JV squad last night.

    I'm thinking Anibal repeats what he did in LA in the summer. Including looking confused when he gets removed a tad early. 5-6 innings of 2 run ball. A lot of the story will depend on if the guys can figure out Kershaw's still good but reworked self.

    But I'm done making actual calls.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    The Braves looked like a 90 win team from an awful division last night.

    They’ve lost 5 straight game 3s, and 6 out of the last 7, and have been blown out in almost all of them.

    So we are stuck in playoff groundhog day? This just means we are due a lucky break.

    Why the hell is this game so late. I will be up 25 hours by the time it starts.

    Go Braves! Avoid the sweep! I don't care if we get swept by the Brewers 20-0/game in four games, just want to beat these clowns so bad.

    Pretty much. Somehow, we got a nasty curse placed on us at the turn of the century. It takes a miracle to break a curse.
