    NLDS Rotation Announced

    Game 1 - nsacpi
    Game 2 - SJ24
    Game 3 - Hulavol
    Game 4 - (If Necessary) slippyjms/Freshmaker
    Game 5 - (If Necessary) nsacpi (on 3 days rest)


    -----------------
    Associated Fake News, ATLANTA

    The Braves found out Thursday afternoon who their openers will be for next week's against their NL Central opponent (St. Louis Cardinals/Milwaukee Brewers) in Major League Baseball's first round of the postseason. Veteran Lairder nscapi was announced as the Game 1 Starter. nsacpi has quietly compiled a dominant Kris Medlenesque 6-1 record in the last two months. Braves fans will remember Medlen having a dominant 2012 second half which rightfully earned him the nod in the first ever National League Wild Card game. "We've been doing very well behind him. The record speaks for itself. He opened for us when we clinched the division against San Fran. Very YUGE. I'm expecting a big game from him. To have a guy that can give you a death blow early like that is special.", said The Chosen One.

    It was announced that SJ24, who was banned from the team just this past offseason for violating the team's personal code of conduct rules for betting, would be the GDT Opener in Game 2 of the LDS. ChopCountry manager The Chosen One said Thursday afternoon that SJ24's meticulous and thorough approach to being an opener was a big reason why he was chosen. "I mean if you look at what Taylor was able to do in a few starts, it's really special. The information, the numbers, the work ethic. It's all there. Not many people can bounce back from a lifetime ban and just bring the quality he's brought back. It really is something. ", said manager The Chosen One.

    The Chosen One also picked the reigning 2018 Comeback Poster of the Year, Hulavol, to open on the road in St. Louis. Vol is 8-6 in the final stretch of regular season. "You know I think having a guy like him being able to start a game 3 for you does wonders for the team. He's been doing it all year you know. And, I just think on the road you want a workhorse out there that's gonna give you 5 or 6 innings and give the team a chance to win. You know our staff really looked at all the scenarios and possibilities and we just really felt good about having him out there on the road", The Chosen One said.

    The Chosen One also announced rounding out the rest of the rotation would be either Freshmaker/slippyjms depending on the circumstances. He hinted that Freshmaker could start a game 4 if the Braves are behind 1-2 in the series. Should the series go the distance to Game 5, Chosen One has picked nsacpi to come back on 3-days rest if necessary.

    Rookie SJ for game 2. What the hell. Hulo needs to be game 2. His home road splits agree with me.

    It was a strategic move. If we somehow lose yet another Game 1 by bad luck, SJ24 brings lots of information, analytics, etc. to the table. To beat the opponent, you have to know every single detail about them. Where they're from, what stadium they play in, their manager, GM, owner, etc. Top to bottom.

    As the Chosen One your powers are vast. But not unlimited. While I am honored by your nomination, I urge you to reconsider. Hulavol has been our ace all season. He should do game 1 and subsequent GDTs until he loses a couple. If you do not reverse this decision, I will have to file a complaint in accordance with the procedures outlined in 50 U.S.C. § 3033(k)(5)(A).

    You have to make these decisions according to the best interests of the boards, not your own personal interests.

    This post is UNCLASSIFIED when transmitted without attachment.

    Addendum: I do accept the nomination to start the GDT for game 5 should that prove necessary since this would be consistent with Hulavol having lost a couple games.

    Don’t be afraid to take the ball. You can battle their ace and if we win then we have our ace going for a 2-0 lead.

    Hulavol is rested and has been nails all season.

    August + September:

    nsacpi: 6-1
    Hulavol: 4-4

    I just looked at the expanded numbers. The run support, run differential, quality of opponent, etc. all lean in your favor.

    As much as Hula doesn't want to admit it, he's 4-4 this month which is very Tehearnesque. I think having him in Game 3 works all sorts of potential ways. If we're up 2-0, his GDT horror movie homage titles could give us the magic juju. If we're 1-1, I have no doubts he's the guy you want to break the 1-1 split. If we're down 0-2, the thread title easily gets you back in the series with fear and his veteran lairdership. He's been overworked this year.

    Let's hear from Hula. He knows best how he's feeling. I really think he has earned game 1.

    Yes, you and I have a piggyback GDT it appears. I think this means I need to create a GDT after the game is about halfway over that is then merged in

    I demand a trade in the offseason. For now though, I will be there to support my teammates.

    Not me. I'm gonna go get involved in some deeply embarrassing scandal that throws the team chemistry all out of whack. Just bought my ticket to Kiev.

    Given the year and situations, I would nominate Rico to be game one starter.
    But do know this gents:
    I have hated saint ****ing Lewis since they made me cry myself to sleep in 1982. I want them dead.
    I was there last week for clinch - it meant nothing. It somehow felt hollow. I want saint Lewis and Zombie Brooklyn Dodgers dead. I want yankees dead.

    I am ready. Despite my elbow bone spurs and pulled groin ( poster of Raquel on wall in mom’s basement will be shrouded). Put me in game three- or wherever you need me coach.. Sleepy should piggy for third time through lineup. Resident asshole for closer.
    My lucky unwashed Grateful Dead Braves shirt is ready too.
    Let’s win one for all of those watching from above who cried with us when Sid slid and aren’t here anymore: Lets win one for our grandpas who are somewhere wearing their baby A caps. Not to mention all the Jenny’s of the world who have suffered through 162 games wishing they wee watching some dumb**** reality crap show.
    Long time til spring in Florida - I say we give em all something to talk about this winter.

    Those are my thoughts.
