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

[GovClintonTyree]

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.

Hard to believe this dude OPSed .806 over 524 plate appearances in 2018.

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.

Kind of like bowel movements. When you try to go, it can be hard. Just gotta let it come out when it’s ready.

scheduled c-section. problem solved.

 

[CyYoung31]

Still, if I was Adrianza, I’d skip out on this one. My son would understand. My wife better understand.

Fantastic analogy.

scheduled c-section. problem solved.

3 kids. 2 C-Sections and an adoption. No late night driving to the hospital. No all night delivery issues.

18 years later, my wife still blames kid 1 for flipping the Thursday before a Friday due date. "He's always wanted things his way."

omg. snit did it. Rosario - Soler - Freeman - Riley - Duvall - Pederson - Albies - TD - Swanson

But MLB wouldn't understand. Think about how absurd that is.

Adrianza on paternity leave, Camargo taking his place.

A lot better lineup. The Astros started hitting when they moved Bregman down.

I'm pretty sure the original tweet or whatever was just awkwardly phrased. If you choose to leave the team to be there for the birth of your child, you have to miss 1-3 games. I don't think you have to leave the team.

I like this lineup. In theory, Ozzie punishes Dusty if he goes L/L vs Joc. Freddie is pretty well insulated as well.

We have our ace on the mound.

Our bullpen is well rested.

Tonight is the night.

 

[msstate7]

I think albies is gonna hit tonight

Maybe see a pitch or two first Ozzie?

Finally, no more back to back LHHs at the top of the lineup.

AA needs to get enough impact bats this off-season so Riley/Albies bat 5/6. Something like acuna, Freeman, Soler and Ozuna (or his replacement) in the top 4 would be ideal.

I'd tell my wife kids I was playing in the WS, myself, for the rest of their lives and shrug.
