GDT 10/16/21: Braves vs Dodgers - NLCS Game 1

[Metaphysicist]

Fried not exactly fooling Smith today.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

The cold weather probably held up d’Arnauds ball

 

[chop2chip]

He only have Urias left and what happen if he go to extra innings?

We have only seen the bottom of this Dodger pen. They still have all of their go to guys available.

 

[Enscheff]

We are now seeing why Roberts didn’t double switch when Gonsolin come in. He knew Twit would extend Fried and wanted the platoon advantage vs a tiring Fried.

Twit is being completely and utterly out managed.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Have to pull Fried soon

 

[UNCBlue012]

Saying that Max Fried didn’t have his best stuff tonight is an understatement but he did a great job keeping it tied at two. Helluva performance

 

[Garmel]

Finally, a little bad BABIP luck for the Dodgers.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

Fried not at his best but battled hard, great work but bullpen time

 

[bravesfanMatt]

We lucky

 

[CyYoung31]

Some BABIP luck for us there.

 

[Enscheff]

We have only seen the bottom of this Dodger pen. They still have all of their go to guys available.

They are actually using their pitchers to help them win by putting them in position to succeed.

Twit is just letting half the roster rot away on the bench because he thinks it’s 1991.

 

[chop2chip]

2 runs in 6 innings will do. Thank you Max.

He navigated a lineup stacked with good RHHs.

He’s a stud.

 

[Metaphysicist]

This probably makes me an old fogey but I miss when we didn't digitally add in ads for boner pills behind the batter and whiskey on the back of the mound.

 

[CyYoung31]

Chances Twit sends Fried back out for the 7th?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Do we let fried go next inning or bring in Luke to see if Roberts will start using lefty hitters.

 

[Enscheff]

Damn, they didn’t leave Gonsolin in.

Albies vs this LHP is what I’m banking my hopes on.

 

[Enscheff]

Do we let fried go next inning or bring in Luke to see if Roberts will start using lefty hitters.

I force Roberts to unwind the platoons so those LHHs have to face Matzek and Smith later.

Now that I think about it, that could have happened last inning more effectively.

 

[CyYoung31]

So Snitker is going to go with Matzek, and allow Roberts to not have to unwind his platoons.

This is our manager.

 

[Enscheff]

First mistake made by Roberts. Albies should not be facing this pitcher.
