GDT: Dodgers 2 Braves game 1: Have the boys turned into men?

[salmagundy]

Final Nats 2-1 over Brewers Down to 4.5 games ahead

Mets down 2-1 to Royals in 6th scores stand, 9 games back
Phiiiies up 8-3 on Padres in 8th scores stand 7 GB

I'm not sure what the braves can do now to fix the lineup. This team is looking like the nats did early with all the injuries.

[jpack1]

They’re us 20 years ago. Except they still don’t have a World Series 8 years in and only 2 pennants to show for it.

I agree that not winning in postseason hurts that legacy. But the Braves had an incredible run especially from 91 to early 2000s.

[CyYoung31]

This is their best shot yet. They are above everyone in the NL and you can really say that probably the only ones with a chance in the AL is the Astros and Yankees

I agree.

[drewdat]

I could see the Yankees going off tracks a bit when they get players healthy; I doubt everyone with a track record comes in firing on all cylinders. Astros have too much starting pitching for anyone else, IMO.

[jpack1]

I agree.

It’s those 3 and everybody else this year.

[CyYoung31]

The real sad thing is that the Braves know they’ve lost this game.

[jpack1]

Yankees starting pitching is a serious concern for them.

Astros and Dodgers starting pitching are tremendous

After this series our schedule does lighten up a bit. Hopefully we can build our lead back up a bit during that time frame.

It won't make any difference. We still have the same for **** BP that gives away games.

The problem is we running a lineup out every day now that's gonna be marlins' level spots 5-9

Tough to do with half your lineup filled with replacement level players or worse.

Martin has no business pitching in n that ninth inning. Zero. He and Luke are easily the most talented RP. Waste Martin in an 8-3 blowout

We need a Snit emoticon.

We need a Snit emoticon.

[nsacpi]

[Braves1976]

Yep, so we absolutely can't get Acuna, albies, FF, and Donaldson a day off now, and they'll be running on fumes
