GDT 10/20/21: Braves @ Dodgers - NLCS Game 4

[msstate7]

As with everything, it will depend on price. I want Rosario back - LHH is good balance for the lineup and as were are seeing, he can deliver in the playoffs. The majority of the OF at-bats next year should come from Acuna, Rosario and Duvall/Soler.

Do you want Duvall at $7m or Soler at whatever cost he is? I guess if the DH is back next year you could try and bring all of them back while dumping Ozuna's contract on another team. Plus Joc can be the #1 pinch hitter off the bench and to rest the others throughout the year.

Joc will be pretty expensive for that role

Smyly with a win in the playoffs. Who knew.

AA knew

 

[msstate7]

Any soler update? Man, we really need him back with it looking like a DH will be needed

 

[Carp]

Let Joc walk and let him sign with a bad club again. Then trade for him again at the deadline for a middling prospect. Save money. Rinse and repeat.

Bob Costas sure got old and crotchety. He used to be so young and crotchety.

My god in his prime could he lecture a crowd.

I also remember when NBC hired Costas to lecture at halftime during Sunday night football.

I know Brian Snitker has taken his share of criticism, some warranted, some not. But he did a good job managing tonight. Bullpen games are hard to manage anyway, but throw in the guy you planned on opening has to be scratched. Snitker did it well tonight.

I concur. Still hasn't managed the bench that well, but tonight's BP was managed exceptionally well. The moment Smyly started to struggle, he didn't hesitate to pull him. And they only scored because of a bad alignment. If Ozzie is playing normal, the Dodgers get shut out tonight.

Justin Turner has a grade 2 hamstring strain. Out for the postseason

Wow, lucky to only be out for one game.

The similarities between this year’s game 4 and last year’s are incredible.

Let’s hope for no similarities in game five.

Announcers making excuses all over the place for the Dodgers.

Watch the game from the start and listen to the way the talked them up in their opening.

I saw Billiam Shanks posted this:

Atlanta #Braves lefty pitchers (stats including playoffs)

Max Fried - Last 14 starts - 1.55 ERA

Will Smith - Last 19 games - 0.95 ERA

Tyler Matzek - Last 18 games - 1.00 ERA

A.J. Minter - Last 12 games - 0.73 ERA

I can’t believe this is happening. Might as well win the whole thing now.

To have that type of game after the game 3 loss is really something.

Will the Braves moving forward have a reputation as a clutch postseason team?
