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

[Dalyn]

Adrianza on paternity leave, Camargo taking his place.

Goodness. Camargo will stop at nothing to get back on the roster.

You think he's the real father?

FYI, last three innings against Houston: 3 IP, 1H, 1BB, 6K

I'll take that times 3

I don't want to get hyperbolic, because we are just talking about Ehire Adrianza here, but that's not a completely insignificant loss. Adrianza is, at minimum, a competent hitter and generally a major league-caliber baseball player, and Camargo is...not either of those things.

Luckily we have the DH tonight. Only bench player who should see any kind of action is Gore in a pinch running situation late if needed.

 

[Dalyn]

Yeah. Seems obvious. Talk about the long con. Camargo might be the only person who expected us to go to the World Series 9 months ago.

The good news is that we won't need a ph tonight.

Just saw that the Braves are having a watch party inside Truist Park tonight, which you can buy a ticket for, and concessions will be open. Keep that revenue flowing!

 

[Garmel]

said it was much less so against the Astros but he was flaring just enough to give it away early.

What do they mean by "flaring"?

nice. and they won't have to share that ticket revenue with the Astros either.

 

[thewupk]

opening the glove up while getting the grip on the ball. apparently it wasn't the flare itself but the pace of it. I guess he did it faster on a specific pitch so it tipped them off.

Adrianza on paternity leave, Camargo taking his place.

WTF? You can have a kid anytime. You may never get to the World Series again.

Don't blame Adrianza. Camargo is (and was) behind this. Maybe if he started dropping a few shots in the stands instead, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to get on the roster.

I'm buying a Fried jersey if he gets the win tonight

Baby #2 will be named Max… boy or girl. Doesn’t matter

Adrianza on paternity leave, Camargo taking his place.

"MLB rules require that Adrianza spend a minimum of one day and a maximum of three on the paternity list, though the latter will not come into play with the season set to conclude in less than 48 hours."

Whether he wants to or not, Adrianza MUST abandon his teammates for Game 6 of the World Series... per MLB rule.

 

[OcalaBrave]

WTF? You can have a kid anytime. You may never get to the World Series again.

Exactly my reaction. I was prepared to slam him. He has no choice for Game 6. Hopefully we don't get to find out whether he'd opt out of Game 7.

 

[Dalyn]

How the hell do you not have them induce labor on the day off?

He's been saving his one hit all year just for the right moment. Finally CamarGOATs time to shine.

Something I learned going through this with my wife is that it can take days to get labor going when you start the induction. The more you know.
