Braves vs Dodgers NLDS thread

[bravesfanforlife88]

Dodgers announce Kershaw and Ryu will start games 1 and 2 but have not announced what order

I’d imagine Kershaw game 1 so you can bring him back for game 5 if need be

 

[Freshmaker]

Kersh vs Folty is gonna be a helluva matchup. Hopefully we get postseason Kershaw and not regular season Kershaw

 

[Prikichi]

The Braves ranked second in the NL with a .780 OPS vs. LHPs.
Acuna (.992 OPS), Freeman (.923) and Albies (.905) ranked 7th, 14th and 15th respectively in the NL vs. LHP
Albies had a .492 OPS vs. RHP and a .921 OPS vs. LHP after the All-Star break https://t.co/B66fHJ9U9S

Dansby Swanson did not take any swings today. It seems highly unlikely the Braves will place him on the NLDS roster.

Wow, had no idea albies had such severe 2nd half splits

Going against Ryu for game 2 makes me feel a lot better!

That is crazy

Hold me I'm scared.

We all know how this goes.

Game 1: Braves get blown out.
Game 2: Braves win in dramatic fashion (we’re back in it! Momentum!)
Game 3: Braves lose in convincing fashion. Probably also a blow out, but not necessarily. Either way, we’re never really “in” it.
Game 4: This goes either one of two ways. Either the Braves lose in heart breaking fashion to end the season, or they win in dramatic fashion, similar to game 2 and force a game 5 (we got ‘em right where we want them!)
Game 5 (if necessary): Braves lose in convincing fashion, maybe even blown out.

I predict Albies makes the final out of the season.

I'm thrilled we're here, and I realize the level of our opponent... I won't melt unless snit does something really stupid to cause us a game

Trust but verify.

I support my team, win or lose. You should look into it.

Ryu's been lights out for the last month, has a 1.9 ERA or so.

 

[Chipper]

Anyone know who the umpires will be? I already have a feeling a blown call will cost us at least one game.

Our luck we’ll get joe west, Sam Holbrook, cb Buckner, and angel hernandez

four horsemen of the apocalypse

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Braves are going to be the underdog in this series. That would make a win even sweeter. Let’s go Braves!

 

[bravesfanMatt]

We have to wait till Thursday. This sucks. I am going to be pissy all week waiting.

 

[Chipper]

I predict we win game 1 Folty vs. Kershaw. After that Dodgers crush us. Hope I'm wrong, but years of getting my hopes up in the playoffs have changed me in a bad way.
