how the hell is Grissom not playing today????

 

[Slippyjms]

Wow Grissom can’t even get into a meaningless game at this point.

Makes you wonder if he is even on the playoff roster at this point.

I'm guessing dansby gets start to continue streak, and Grissom will fill in early at ss

I’d view it as highly unlikely especially with Albies expected to be back

My guess is he will be on the taxi squad in case of injury. But you will probably see Arcia and Adrianza. AA didn't sound like it was too likely Albies will be back for the NLDS.

This game is gonna be over in 2.5 hours and the Braves will be lucky to get a hit. They are ready to get home.

I always worry about baseball teams getting 3+ days off. Doesn't seem like an advantage when they don't see game reps for almost a week.

 

[Russ2dollas]

Hope Vaughn gets some balls at ss

 

[Heyward]

Stephens is terrible.

Understand that aspect but the rest factor is big. Boys have been going at it for months, a few days off is needed but being rusty is a legit concern.

Agreed there is always that risk. But it will be nice knowing that the WC teams will use their main horses, effectively only getting to use them once each in the DS.

Do we know why Grissom was benched? I know he was slumping but he didn’t seem colder than others in our lineup.

 

[The Tariff King]

I totally forgot Adrianza was even on this team lol.

Acuna seems to need it the most.. Get that knee rested up and ready to go.

I wonder if this is the last time we see Matzek pitch for the Braves.
