Big game today. Not a must win, but definitely has that vibe.

This is still ridiculous, no reason to have a playoff game at 1pm on a Monday
We're gonna have **** attendance and somehow it will be the Braves' fans fault

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
Is Peralta LHP?
Just checked and braves twitter says today is sold out
No. But duvall sucked against lhp this year and is the rbi champ so....
The thing with Duvall in 2021 is he just so happened to put up a 1.100 OPS with men in scoring position, and a 1.000 OPS in high leverage spots. This is compared to a .585 value with the bases empty and a .686 value in low leverage spots.
Now make no mistake, those things really happened, and they really helped the Braves win games. Unfortunately for the playoff lineup construction, all those big hits have tricked some into thinking Duvall is some sort of run producing machine. Folks conveniently forget he rarely gets on base to help allow other teammates to drive in runs, which is the other half of the offensive puzzle.
The narrative is what it is at this point, and Snit is fully on board. All we can do now is hope he has a big swing in a big spot and changes a game for the Braves…or that the rest of the team takes care of business and his .280 OBP doesn’t hurt the team too badly.

If we don’t win today I think that makes tomorrow a definite must win.

A little part of me misses arguing with you on the other board, so I feel I must point out that it is Indigenous People's Day where I live.
Whatever day it is, go Braves lets get this series lead.

Appreciate that. Enjoy the banter, but ultimately becomes too much of a time suck for me right now.
Originally NC. Now live in Denver. Both have ditched the Columbus Day moniker.

It is a sellout, btw.

Kind of surprised Anderson ended up with such a solid strikeout rate, considering he had those couple of starts after coming back from the IL where he didn't strike out anyone.
