GDT : Braves vs Reds game 2

[jpx7]

Camping in Yellowstone, but popping in to say, wow.

 

[nsacpi]

this whole series shows the importance of picking the right guy to do the GDT.

glad to see chosen one making the wise choices after last year's game 5 fiasco, for which I'm still in therapy.

If I am seeing the schedule right the NLDS is 5 games in 5 days? Games 1 and 2 might as well be must win games and hope for a prayer in the last 3.

That Reds offense was offensive. Maybe we get the Fish next.

 

[Enscheff]

The better team won, and we get to watch more Braves baseball in October.

Very cool!!

I have one word for you

Tomlin

the epitome of veteran clutchness and laidership

Yes you should be correct. No days off during the series until the LCS. Game 1 is Tuesday so the Braves will have a good break. Marlins and Cubs postponed today so game 2 is tomorrow. Let’s hope they go to a game 3.

One thing that used to hurt us in the postseason was that the depth of our pitching staff was neutralized by a short series format, and other teams that had more top-heavy rotations could just ride their aces. Not quite the same situation here, of course, but the starting staff looks better when you don't have to start guys like Milone, Newcomb, Folty, Wilson or Touissaint.

Probably Fried, Anderson, Wright, and Opener in Game 4. Ideally win the first 3 but nothing the Braves do in the playoffs is ideal.

Why. We haven’t even unleashed the Wright pitcher yet.

 

[nsacpi]

I presume if it goes 5, Fried would come back on 3 days rest. Seems like a no brainer given the alternatives.

 

[thewupk]

I suspect we go Fried, Anderson, Wright, Tomlin/pen, and Fried if it were to go all 5 games

Bunch of days to get rested and healthy. Someone gets some voodoo magic on acuna wrist.

On the flipside, we have a pretty deep bullpen, so we dont need a ton of innings from our starters. Minter, Matzek, O'Day, Greene, Melancon, Martin, Smith, and mix and matching guys like Webb, Dayton.

Ozuna has surged past the likes of Drew/Sheffield/Donaldson, etc

All it took was one swing.

 

[nsacpi]

btw chosen one has yet to reveal the full story let alone take responsibility for game 5 last year

just sayin

i guess that's one of the secrets he'll be taking to the grave
