GDT 9/28/21: Braves vs Philthies - The series that defines our year

[ixiXSolidXixi]

What we need us to continue winning and St Louis sweep the Brewers and leave them we no confidence going to the playoffs.

 

[USMA76]

Ecstatic that the wasted opportunities in the sixth and eighth innings didn't cost us the game.

That should wrap it up

If that's it for Morton this season then he ends with a 4+ WAR and 3.20 FIP. Both the 2nd best of his career. Got our moneys worth and more.

Braves and Cards in NLCS. Should be fun

We all know Smith is gonna cost us in the playoffs. His last two saves were BS luck.

This is a dumb post. We don't have anyone else who could've hung in and won the last two games like he did. Today's save wasn't luck. He may not be the dominant closer we'd all like to have, but he pitched well today, gave the heart of their lineup very little to hit and got the save. You have to throw strikes and those guys are hot right now and he beat them.

Kudos to him.

No the hell it won’t. It’ll be an ulcer and you know those bastards would win.

Anyone wanna take a stab at theorizing why Newcomb was warming up in the 9th?

It's actually a smart post. He was lucky.

In case we had to go to the 10th?

Side session because Smith had it all the way.

 

[CyYoung31]

With all of our best relievers available sans Jackson?

I was thinking if the Phillies blew it open with a HR. Either that or was just getting work in lol

I'm not the biggest Smith hater like some here but yeah he was lucky.

Even though Rosario should have caught that the EV on the 3 plays after the Harper walk. 99.3 with a 440 xba, 105.7 with a .600 xba, and 100.2 with a .380 xba

Smith was lucky they were literally right at people.

If the Braves make it to the NLCS, we should all be absolutely ecstatic no matter what happens.

I know but it’s the Cardinals....

Speaking of the Cards. They are winning their 17th game in a row tonight and will clinch the last WC spot. Only the East title is the undecided NL playoff spot left.

Maybe Snit figured if Smith was going to blow it, it was going to come on a three run homer. So down 4-2, hope Newk gets an out, try to tie it in the ninth and then you have Matzek, etc.? 12-dimensional chess.

 

[Garmel]

I guess. Don't ask me to figure Snit out.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Snit emphatically defending Smith in the presser.
