10/08/18 GDT NLDS GAME 4: Dodgers @ Braves The Final Final Game of 2018

[salmagundy]

1st pitch GO 5-3 by Jr. Braves just scored 2 runs, both reached via BBs.

 

[nsacpi]

now a lefty for the next three hitters

 

[striker42]

Props to Folty. Comes back on short rest and gives up 1 over 4 to a scorching hot Dodgers lineup.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Well if Venters finishes the 5th and we dont give up the lead that would have both Touki and Venters with a playoff win. Who could have imagined that prior to the season.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Need a shut down inning from Venters. Let him pitch to the first three. If it gets to Machado, go with Brach or someone.

 

[Enscheff]

Game is going about as good as we can hope for. Now the BP has to reward Snit for making the correct decisions.

 

[Garmel]

We need more runs. I don't think we can hold them for 5 innings.

 

[Five]

Leave Kurt in.. we need his bat.

Thought the same thing, guess not.

We need more runs. I don't think we can hold them for 5 innings.

We proved that last night. Don’t take the pedal off the gas...work those counts

 

[blueagleace1]

Am I the only one who thought we should have left Kurt in (via double switch) to keep his bat in there? I know he's not as good defensively (framing) but we need all the offense we can get.

 

[Enscheff]

I'm a little surprised they let Pederson hit there. He's going to see Minter in his next PA if he wasn't PH for anyways, so he isn't seeing another RHP today no matter what.

 

[Julio3000]

Pathetic. Dansby is greatly missed.

I’d rather have him in there, too, but let’s not go crazy. Dude didn’t crack .700 OPS this year.

 

[Enscheff]

Pitched around Turner there

 

[nsacpi]

Sobotka after Venters when we get to Manny

 

[Enscheff]

DP from Muncy wuld be ideal

 

[cajunrevenge]

I'm a little surprised they let Pederson hit there. He's going to see Minter in his next PA if he wasn't PH for anyways, so he isn't seeing another RHP today no matter what.

If I am the Dodgers I just assume we will atleast tie the game and dont want to lose Pederson for an extra inning game.

 

[blueagleace1]

Yet another walk... it's an epidemic

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

lets go Venters! get that ground ball

 

[Enscheff]

That was a good play by Culberson there with Albies screening him

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

at least got the lead runner on the ground ball and slow runner at 1b
