GDT 10/17/21: Braves vs Dodgers - NLCS Game 2

[Tapate50]

I think he said that during post game interview with Shehadi.

She is quite the post game highlight herself.

He can, you and i both know Freeman isnt getting benched. You just gotta hope he gets a huge hit in a big situation. Starting 0-8 with 7 K's is unreal.

FF is gonna win a game in LA... his bat is gonna go off, soon

 

[Tapate50]

Dansby looking like hes about to come outta his funk too.

I read somewhere that Soler could come back for game 3 if he’s vaccinated and all the test come back clean.

The sooner he’s back, the sooner Snit can finally start using the correct Soler/Rosario/Joc OF vs RHP.

Who is CF in that scenario? Joc?

That would be fantastic if snit did it. I can see him sitting joc too though

Has to be Joc.

I don't know which is more fun: Watching the game or reading the game thread the morning after.

 

[msstate7]

Soler
FF
Albies
Riley
Rosario
Joc

Last night on the postgame Costas said that Soler was fully vaccinated.

I hope your scenario is correct, but they also mentioned that Soler wouldn't be back until Game 6 at the earliest.

 

[Garmel]

If we get to the World Series we can play all 4 of the OF in the AL park. Soler can DH.

 

[Garmel]

The way Rosario is hitting you know Snit won't move him from the top spot. Where do we use Soler in the order? 6th?

 

[Heyward]

Soler
FF
Albies
Riley
Rosario
Joc
TDA
Swanson

Havent seen anything about Soler coming back but sure would be nice. I've seen Game 5 or 6 at the earliest time.

 

[Enscheff]

Soler
FF
Albies
Riley

Joc

Flip Joc and TDA to space the LHHs, and that’s pretty ideal vs RHP.

The threads are much more fun. My heart cant handle waiting for the walk offs. Just telling you this cause your turn is coming.

 

[Tapate50]

Do we know if hes actually ill, or just popped positive?

If he is actually feeling the effects, then it won't be this series for sure.

 

[Heyward]

Rosario LF
FF 1B
Albies 2B
Riley 3B
Soler RF
Joc CF
TDA C
Swanson SS
P

Is what i'd do if Soler is there.

Ronald Acuña Jr (knee) said Sunday that he expects to begin jogging in November or December.
That's good news, but Acuña said there's no timetable for his return. We should have a much better sense as spring training approaches as to whether he'll be ready for Opening Day or will need some extra time. The dynamic outfielder required season-ending surgery after tearing his right ACL in early July.

“ His vaccination status is unknown, but according to protocol, if he is vaccinated and asymptomatic and tests negative, he could be back after Game 2 of this series; if not, he must complete at least a 10-day quarantine, which would push his return to Game 5 at the earliest.”

Perhaps he isn’t vaccinated?

After doing some more reading, it seems that it basically comes down to a committee decision, but that there is no mandatory quarantine period for a vaccinated player who tests positive. Two negative tests would be enough to get him back on the field, assuming that the postgame show was correct that he is vaccinated.
