GDT 10/1/24 - Braves @ Padres - AJSS for WC Game 1

[bravesnumberone]

Swung at ball 4. We have got to have a major overhaul during the offseason in how we approach at bats.

I have cerebral palsy, and I think I walk more than Urshela

It's a philosophy change that's gonna require to part ways with mfers like Ozuna, TDA, Murphy, Arcia

I'm just in disbelief. We live in the era of bullpens going 5-6 innings in so many postseason games. Why do we "need" to go with a starter? Lee opens and goes 2, heck push him three if needed. Then Bummer for 1-2. If game is close, you bridge it with some combo of Jackson, Johnson, etc. After going through them, if game is still close you go to our guns and chase the win. If game got away then you go to AJ / elder, etc. Why is that so hard to pull together?

We went with a bullpen game twice during the 2021 run. We also went with one during 2020 NLCS. I don’t know why they’re so averse to doing it now.

If you gonna hit one AJ, go at the ribs

 

[Enscheff]

He must be telegraphing that change, because the downward movement looks good.

Or maybe just not have to employ ****ty hitters like Gio Urshela.

Please get this btch out of the game

At least AJSS is starting the innings strong.

 

[bravesnumberone]

The difference between the at bats the teams take couldn't be more different, and it's not entirely the quality of personnel.

 

[Enscheff]

Perhaps someone forgot to tell him that the playoffs aren’t the place to work on things?

Why? Let him eat it. Have everyone rested tomorrow.

I wouldn't worry about it... throw position guys at em for 5 innings, and totally mess up their timing for fried

If it were only the scrubs, it wouldn't bother me as much. It's been almost team-wide all year.

Sorta like the difference in the pitching each team is facing

 

[Enscheff]

I’ll check the statcast tomorrow, but the eye test tells me that FA at 94 is about as straight as they come.

Just a stupid move to even start him at all....Jesus H man.

SD has all their players and AJSS sucks. That’s the difference.

This is a mockery of a postseason game. I know weather screwed us over with a side of injuries - but game one of a three game series is so critical, I just can't comprehend how we felt this was better than just going with the bullpen
