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

[USMA76]

The choke is imminent.

I'd be lying if I said the same thing hadn't occurred to me.

 

[JusticeForAll23]

Gave up that 4-0 lead in a hurry.

Not feeling so good anymore.

 

[atl717]

Nobody would feel good about going back to Houston against a team that knows they were dead and now in great shape at home in front of their fans.

 

[CK86]

I enjoyed it much better when it was 4-0.

 

[jpack1]

It’s literally like they were just hoping to win here, but no urgency.

 

[KOdawg1]

Hey, y'all remember that grand slam?

That was fun.

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

We should start Minter in the third inning… new game!

 

[JusticeForAll23]

I'd be lying if I said the same thing hadn't occurred to me.

It's the Braves fan way. I've felt the same way all day. I've tried to fight it off, but it won't go away. And now that our early 4-0 lead is gone by the 3rd, that feeling is even stronger.

4th?

 

[weso1]

Just an all time boneheaded move. I'm trying to think of an advantage the Braves gain by leaving Davidson in there. Maybe one more inning?

 

[USMA76]

Is Smoltz a dinosaur for saying, "I've never seen a strikeout score a run?"

I guess the counter to that would be "I've never seen a strikeout hit into a double play."

 

[jpack1]

We have a dam off day tomorrow. Why are we pitching t he e worst guys we have on the roster?

 

[UNCBlue012]

I just cannot imagine giving them so much momentum. Snit wiffed on an easy set of decisions

 

[bravesnumberone]

Disaster

 

[atl717]

It needed to be Minter in that 2nd inning. If he goes 2 or 3 scoreless, you have multiple chances at adding on runs. And then you can steal an inning or 2 with one of your weaker pitchers.

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

4th?

Third inning don’t give them any breathing room…

 

[TURBO]

Walk Bregmann

Most people don’t know what “strikeouts don’t matter” actually means.

Man, I'm all about saying crazy crap in the game thread, but come on mane

I mean it. Guy is a JoJo Reyes clone. Lefty with mediocre stuff and no idea where it's going.

Exactly!
