GDT 10/31/21: Braves vs Astros - World Series Game 5

[Heyward]

Need Minter to get us to the 7th inning.

 

[USMA76]

Since when in this series do our pitchers get calls like that? Given what we've done when the shoe has been on the other foot, I'm not reassured.

 

[jsebe10]

I really didn’t mind Chavez facing Brantley…low power threat…Olerud type hitter now…but whatever…Sure let AJ hit you idiot.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Now we will be forced to hit Minter if we want to give him the fifth.

 

[AJonesATL]

We are throwing a bullpen game and have yet to get the benefit of a pinch hitter. Damn

 

[Enscheff]

Gotta let aj hit now

Competent managers would pull a double switch to avoid that right now.

Snit probably doesnt wanna burn any PH's now. Joc is like our only big threat off the bench.

 

[USMA76]

We wouldn't know.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Why not drew. Now we loose minter or let him hit

 

[AJonesATL]

Too early for a double switch not worth taking out a starter. Still just can’t believe we let tuck get another inning and an at bat. Game changing move in a series clinching opportunity just hurts

 

[Enscheff]

Pulling Duvall for Joc in a double switch was the right move there.

 

[chop2chip]

How far down the lineup should Minter go?

I’m guessing the plan is to go through Kyle Tucker.

 

[AJonesATL]

There is no way Minter btw is getting hit for if he pitches well.

 

[UNCBlue012]

MINTER

 

[msstate7]

That's why

 

[jsebe10]

Gas

 

[USMA76]

Matzek lite. Brantley was completely overmatched.

 

[thewupk]

Why not drew. Now we loose minter or let him hit

you let him hit. minter is going 2 more

 

[AJonesATL]

I love Joc but Duvall has a grand slam and a 12 pitch at bat. Joc has been pretty bad since his homer against LA.

 

[OcalaBrave]

Minter is due up third. Are we going to throw away another ab or burn Minter for 1 out?
