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

[TheBravos]

I’ll never understand....when it’s a 1-2 or 0-2 count they will rarely give you anything to hit. Just lay off. Probably 70% chance it’s a junk ball coming.

For all the blowing the mlb press gives to Molina's defense, I've always been curious if the defensive metrics back it up.

He's first in baseball history.

edit: to be fair pitch framing only started being accounted for in 08. but he's legit good.

 

[Heyward]

Plan seems to be Newk for 2, Greene and MM for 1...

So he sucks.

TBS is going to have some hefty fines for airing all the blood and gore when Melancon's arm explodes like a supernova in this series.

 

[Heyward]

Good Newk

 

[Five]

Atta boy Newk

 

[thewupk]

Newk coming up big. Thethe knew

 

[thethe]

He has to go out for another inning right?

 

[Snowman]

Okay, Newcomb is managing to keep the ball in-between the dugouts today.

 

[Five]

He has to go out for another inning right?

8-9-1 right? Why not

 

[msstate7]

He has to go out for another inning right?

No, melancon 12-out save

ETA... sorry, calculator batteries bad

 

[USMA76]

Thinking optimistically here, is Chris Martin done for the year or just this series?

 

[Heyward]

He has to go out for another inning right?

No other choice but Greene was getting loose.

 

[Enscheff]

He has to go out for another inning right?

Are you by any chance following the Cards lineup and who is lingering on the bench? Or just watching the pretty green grass?

 

[striker42]

8-9-1 right? Why not

I'd send him out there with Green in reserve for Goldy and Ozuna. I'd like Green to face them in the 8th though.

 

[Enscheff]

8-9-1 right? Why not

Yeah...no.

Martinez can not be allowed to face a LHP.

 

[thewupk]

lol he huslted that time!

 

[chop2chip]

Newk starts next inning with Green ready to go against a tough righty.

Martin would be NICE to have right now. Feels like we are 1 arm short in the pen today.

Yeah, im not sure what thr alternative is right now.
