GDT 10/11/21: Braves vs Brewers - NLDS Game 3

[UNCBlue012]

I don't want to count on it, but I'm starting to get a semi-confident feeling...

 

[TURBO]

Love seeing Acuna in dugout

 

[UNCBlue012]

Corbin Burnes will not start for the Brewers tomorrow, per Craig Counsell.

Probably a bullpen game, both ways.

His answer to how he hit the three-run homer was literally: "I don't know."

y'all just don't understand his pearls of wisdom

Very Socratic.

Very Socratic.

He reminds me a bit of Chauncey Gardner.

Hopefully the offense really breaks out tomorrow. Although Fried vs Corbin would be a crazy game 5

 

[Southcack77]

Is the bullpen game starter Chavez or Minter or Ynoa?

 

[Garmel]

Maybe it’s an advantage to be dumb in high pressure spots.

Probably so. A smart person would overthink his at-bat and make himself even more nervous.

Joc thinks to himself, "ME SWING HARD!".

I have a feeling Joc and Bellinger did a lot of smoking together

Snit uses his players the way he has all year and the way they expect to be used. Maybe managing this way is more valuable in bringing about a positive outcome than the .00whatever% you get by playing the matchups.

I think by definition it would be exactly .00whatever% less valuable in bringing about a positive outcome.

Use the saints uniform

Do we see Fried throwing 1 or 2 innings tomorrow if necessary?

I would hope Morton is available to pitch a couple of innings on short rest if needed. Max is definitely not going and will be ready for game 5 on full rest if needed.

 

[thewupk]

Braves now have 6 shutouts over the last two postseasons. All other teams combined have 5 shutouts.

 

[VirginiaBrave]

So the last 3 ABs had EV's of 101, 95.7, and 100.8. All with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 0 outs and resulted in 0 runs. Holy ****.

This was the prime example of those numbers meaning very little vs. the human element of plays being made. It's not a science but a game.

 

[CyYoung31]

Brewers offense is pretty bad. The Braves have the far superior roster.

Yeah, I don’t know about that one, chief. They’re pretty even.

It has to do with the Braves being extremely fortunate. Braves were pretty unlucky early in the game though, so it all probably evened out.
