Playoff GDT 10/7/19: Braves @ Cardinals Game 4 - The Death Blow for the Dead Birds

[Super]

Hudson is the type of pitcher this lineup can feast on. i hope Freddie is willing to take more pitches than he was yesterday. Hudson will walk his fair share.

Braves did face Hudson once this season....May 25th

6.1 IP, 5H 2ER 2 BB 2K

Good point, I read earlier that he gives walks, if you have the patience to wait. Well, could be a good day for Markakis?

I know the matchups, but I can't believe we're not giving Mac a rest here. Very short sample, but Francisco is 2-3 vs Hudson. Would also give us another lefty on the bench

 

[Carp]

Expecting a Freebomb today.

Hudson has 16 bb in his last 4 starts, 21 IP. He's walked 29 in last 10 starts, 57.1. Need to be patient today

probably a combo of things. Mac vs. a RHP. Mac caught DK in Houston.
he's started every game tho...yeah, i probably would've gotten him an off day somewhere. but for today, i'm on board with him being in.

 

[The Tariff King]

I really hope Freddie decides to actually do something. Would be nice.

 

[salmagundy]

Are we jinxed already??

MLB Game Day says Keuchel is pitching on short rest for only 3rd time in career. It goes on to say that he's "hoping to send the NLDS to a 5th game

What kind of BS is that.

I agree. Hudson is the antithesis of Wainwright. Hudson relies heavily on his fastball while Wainwright is a crafty junkballer these days. We seem to struggle more against the junkballers than the flame throwers.

 

[Heyward]

Miko is probably gonna piggyback, Hudson so if he gets in trouble, they'll go to Miko as soon as they can. Hudson is a guy the Braves should be able to hit off.

 

[striker42]

We really need to win today. Trying to win twice in a row against Flaherty is a hard proposition.

We had some good AB's vs him but yeah, that and i dont know if Folty will throw THAT well twice.

 

[Hulavol]

We got this.
Expecting offensive explosion from good guys.

 

[nsacpi]

expecting great and unmatched wisdom from all our posters today

A lot is made of this kind of stuff but it's hard to sell out a stadium for a 3 PM game on a Monday. If tickets were $14 for a 7:00 PM game on a Friday, your fans should be a little more embarrassed.

Yeah I forgot about the DK connection. Makes sense on that front. Doubt DK goes longer than 5-6 innings regardless, so hopefully using Cervelli to pinch hit for DK and replace Mac.

I think the annoyance is more that a big deal would be made of this if the game were being played in Cobb County.

Agreed. It would be a major talking point.
