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

[MadduxFanII]

You know what, going back to last year's LCS, we've given the Dodgers everything they could ask for. They've won most of those games, but we haven't looked out of our league against them. It's never felt like we were in a hopeless situation.

 

[UNCBlue012]

And by God they used the hell out of their bullpen.

 

[CrazyTrain]

Time to see if Riley will sign for a good contract.

We could really lock up our core for 5-7 years relatively cheaply.

I mean I'm no expert on the Dodgers, but was Kenley a better matchup for the heart of Braves order than Treinen?

If so it's weird they had Kenley pitch to the bottom of the order.

 

[msstate7]

Where would the braves be without Mississippi's contribution? Lol

^^^

I cheated and watched the bottom of 9th, so I'm clearly not a jinx

Snit says all y’all bitches can suck it. Let’s ****ing go

Austin Riley professional hitter with ice water in his veins. Also, thanks to Blake Treinen for throwing a strike when he probably didn't have to.

How dare you question the mighty dodgers? God asks them for advice haha

 

[Metaphysicist]

Honestly really good sign to win a game where Freddie Golden Somberos.

 

[CK86]

The Braves never win that type of playoff game. What just happened!?!

Treinen is a beast. I think it’s a negligible difference between he and Jansen.

Little help from Hank, Don, and Knucksie

Robert's having random lefty pitch to Albies and Riley earlier was questionable as well.

Snit didn't really have decisions to make, but they were all defensible.

Braves don't really have a bench at this point so the platoon business is besides the point.

Soler going out kind of made it moot.

 

[Buzzworm]

This was a must win for us to have a chance to win this series and we got nothing from Freddie/DuFail/Swanson and pulled it out.
That’s gotta be a big confidence boost.
Let’s goooooo

 

[thethe]

We’ve got the arms to stay in this series till the end.

What a tremendous core.

 

[CrazyTrain]

That Albies steal was so massive.

Professional base running. Incredible.

 

[Metaphysicist]

Little help from Hank, Don, and Knucksie

Well, LA is wearing a Don patch on their uni. I bet he'd be conflicted at least.

 

[Southcack77]

Bellinger sucking and Muncy being hurt and I feel like maybe one other thing makes Dodgers lineup and bench seem a little more manageable.
