GDT- 10/04/19: NLDS Game Two: St. Louis Cardinals @ Atlanta Braves

[WaitingFor2017]

This may be unpopular, but for Games 3-5 (5 if necessary), I go:

Game 3: Soroka
Game 4: Fried
Game 5: Folty

You can always use DK out of the bullpen in Game 4 or 5 if needed. If you get lucky, you can use Soroka in Game 1 in Los Angeles if they defeated Washington.

So who goes G4, Keuchel/BP or Fried/BP game?

probably a Fried/Teheran mix is my guess.

Well, got the split, just not how everyone expected. Lose the non Flaherty game, and beat him Game 2, although with better BP management, could have easily won the first 2. But gotta put up the big boy pants and go win on the road.

I need the day off to get my BP down after that sequence of events in the 9th. Jaysus, that was Ray Knight-level managing.

 

[TheBravos]

Should be up 2-0, but I’ll take it !!!

 

[USMA76]

With the split at home I like our chances with soroka going forward. Braves are a better team.

Agreed. The problem is Snit is still in our dugout and the Cardinals luck is other-worldly.

Folty was so good tonight....Freid has been electric out of the pen

Fried gives us so much flexibility. I kinda like the idea of Teheran starting game 4 and STL loading up with LHH, then PH for Teheran in the third and bring in Fried for several innings. At any rate, we have to go into all these games with a Plan A - Z, and the flexible roster is a big help with that.

Remember the Duvall haters? Now he'll be remembered for a while lol!

unlike the Hinske game, we actually won this game.

He'll always be remembered in Braves lore for his turning point in the Braves World Series title in 2019.

So who goes G4, Keuchel/BP or Fried/BP game?

I‘m voting for a BP game of the guys with the best breaking stuff...Cardinals really are a bunch of free swingers.

Fried should get at least 3 innings

 

[Snowman]

Seems like we should remember Donaldson more for the winning run than Duvall for the insurance.


(dammit, do we not have a shifty-eyed emoticon here?)

with snit managing we might need a miracle.

 

[Buzzworm]

Great win!!
Although we won’t be long for the playoffs if snit keeps managing like this.
What a game by Folty!
Duvall the hero on offense, who’d have saw that coming.

I'm proud to have been a duvall supporter all the way through. One of the few.

I wonder how much a playoff game is worth to the franchise.

40,000 tickets ar $100 a pop is $4M. Plus concessions plus battery.

Plus TV rights?

I might project a typical home playoff game worth close ~$7.5M in revenue per game

After this year, nobody will ever remember the '69 Mets.
