GDT 10/26/21: Braves @ Astros - World Series Game 1

[chop2chip]

Everyone in the lineup has had a great approach at the plate tonight. If we had normal luck on balls in play, this game would be out of reach.

Good omen for the series.

 

[thethe]

Jackson for 1
Matzek for 2
Smith for 1

Let’s go home.

 

[Carp]

Davidson hasn't pitched since what, June?

But was good. There's something to starting a guy who they don't have much of a scoring report on.

 

[Heyward]

Luke in now, here we go.

 

[Carp]

Jackson for 1
Matzek for 2
Smith for 1

Let’s go home.

Or score 3-4 more runs and let Chavez go 3 innings.

 

[chop2chip]

Jackson for 1
Matzek for 2
Smith for 1

Let’s go home.

We are going to need Jesse to give us an inning tonight. With no Minter in game 2, need to make sure Matzek is available.

If you try to get Chavez in this game he is facing top of their lineup.

I’d rather have Jackson go 2

 

[UNCBlue012]

I don’t want to be too frustrated because they have a nice leave but it should probably be something like 9 to 1 right now

I call up Strider and hope the raw stuff plays up.

 

[Heyward]

Tucker is a great hitter.

 

[CrazyTrain]

The Astros fans are bitching a lot for a team that’s getting all the calls.

 

[thethe]

I call up Strider and hope the raw stuff plays up.

Need a guy who can give bulk innings so why not take the guy with the best stuff?

 

[msstate7]

Buck hasn't said anything about the differing zones, but has a comment on the called strike on Correa

 

[thewupk]

Tucker > FF

 

[jsebe10]

Thank god we have Tom Hallion to keep the integrity of the game.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Tucker is an absolute pain.

 

[chop2chip]

If you try to get Chavez in this game he is facing top of their lineup.

Yes, but think about your options in game 2 if Tyler or Luke aren’t available.

Jesse is a good pitcher. You have to trust him to get good hitters out.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Nice, Ozzie

 

[jsebe10]

Tucker > FF

I’m >FF if you hang a slider like that.

 

[USMA76]

Luke's been struggling and desperately needs to right the ship right now both from a personal and team perspective.
