Still have to watch Riley/Neck back to back, just a different order.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
Kakes’ turn to play hērōs.

That Greek for “football romancer”?
Neck will get a key basehit at some point which will spark a rally.

DOB reporting that Snitker was planning to start Pache in CF no matter what. If Kershaw was starting, Camargo would play 3B with Riley in LF. Sounds like Neck will at least be in a platoon this series.

Just reading that the Dodgers had Gonsolin pitch a sim game over the weekend on Saturday, to stay fresh and line up for game 4. That would ensure he's on a pitch count tonight, and we could very well see old friend Alex Wood very early in this one. We need to take advantage of this gift.
Hope Ian Anderson isn't too amped. First time pitching in majors in front of his family.

I feel pretty confident that Anderson will pitch well tonight. Much more worried about Wright in G3

Hello guys
Makes sense to keep Pache in CF regardless but surprised Ozuna wouldn’t move to LF TDA to DH and Flowers to C. If this series goes the distance TDA will need 2-3 days as DH as he won’t get a day off.
If we win tonight we’ll have won a Fried start and an Anderson start. We just need to win one more of their starts and one other game. I feel like the fact that this series is built more like a regular season series with no off days will help the Braves in the end.

Things definitely appear like they could be breaking our way. Buehler’s blisters and Kershaw’s back spasms really hurt them a lot. They have a great bullpen but ours is even better. Not trying to get my hopes up too much, but if we pull it off tonight we just need to go 2-3 the rest of the way while they’d obviously have to go 4-1.

I wonder if they've just determined that Ozuna is literally unplayable in the field at this point.

Hey! You back now that we gonna win WS, huh? Haha
Riley was surprisingly good in LF last year. I think this is a pretty good plan.

Here's my stat of the day:
This post season, the Dodgers have had 53 ABs with RISP and hit .302 with an .827 OPS in those situations. The Braves have had 53 ABs with RISP and have hit .170 with a .514 OPS in those situations.
For context, the Dodgers had a team BA of .256 this season with a team OPS of .821. The Braves had a team BA of .268 and a team OPS of .832.
So the Dodgers haven't gotten very lucky or unlucky with RISP. The Braves have been heinously unlucky. If those stats regress to the mean, watch out.

I think you are right! Gonsolin is a rookie and if Braves jump on him they will bring Wood to keep the bullpen fresh. Probably May is out of tonights game and tomorrow just in case he need to start game 4 or 5.
