GDT 10/3/13: Dodgers (Kershaw) @ Braves (Medlen) - NLDS Game 1 - 8:30 PM

[NYCBrave]

Why is the pitcher swinging 3-1? Forget it. Don't answer that.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

The answer, of course: no.

Answer to the question on Opening Day next year may very well be Tommy LaStella

Kershaw not exactly locating atm.

 

[Enscheff]

How many of you would have PH for medlen there?

 

[gtcway]

Kershaw not exactly locating atm.

Except the Braves won't score a single run.

 

[jsebe10]

Lefties need to just bag it in tonight.

Not me. We don't really have a surefire bench anyway.

This

 

[weso1]

I meant to say the epic comeback starts next inning.

 

[zitothebrave]

Look at all the wins!!

 

[CK86]

****.

 

[holden]

Kershaw not even close to at top form, but we're squandering every opportunity. Shouldn't let it bother me. It's the Braves in the postseason.

Yeah really. Medlen really is pretty close to what we have on the bench.

Braves in the postseason?

It's the Braves. We'd be doing this is this were the regular season as well.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Kershaw at 51. So at least we've made him work somewhat. I guess...hell just ignore I even said it.

 

[Enscheff]

Now medlen must hold them, and the heart of the order has to answer in the bottom of the fourth. If they don't this game is over

Pretty much. Evan owes us a three-run bomb.

It would matter if we could chip away here with him not at top form, but we're not doing much

 

[The Tariff King]

It's a moral victory just to get Kershaw to a 2-2 count.

 

[weso1]

Kershaw at 51. So at least we've made him work somewhat. I guess...hell just ignore I even said it.

Yeah... I'd feel encouraged to this point. I mean with a pitcher like Kershaw all you can do is hope you find some holes and make him work.

The defense and pitching is what is letting us down in this one.
