gdt 10.9.19: today the house of cards comes tumbling down

[Hudson2]

We have to hope that Flaherty is off. If we can score say 3 this first inning then we aren’t completely dead.

 

[striker42]

The next time Freddie hits one to win a game all of you should stay silent.

Regular season success struggles to balance out post season failures of the magnitude he's had this series.

Well, on the bright side, this MAY be the last day of seeing Markakis in a Braves uniform.

 

[Dalyn]

Ummmmm we can do this?

 

[UNCBlue012]

LMAO. 10 runs on five hits.

Also, at least Acuna cares

 

[striker42]

If we keep Snitker this disappointment will happen every single October. You can bank on it.

Snitker made Freeman boot an fairly routine double play ball?

 

[AJonesATL]

How is the umpire going to call that a strike.

Freeman is the reason we're not advancing. Acuna is straight up beasting and has scored 1 time. That falls heavily on Freeman.

 

[striker42]

Even the ump knows it's over. That ball was a foot outside.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Ball 1 to Flaherty was closer than Strike 2 to Albies.

 

[AJonesATL]

I know everyone wants to blame Snit but I think that is unfair. The only reason the Cards had any chance this series is the Braves started Soroka once and Freddie / JD have basically been know shows.

 

[The Tariff King]

Even the ump knows it's over. That ball was a foot outside.

Even as low energy as I am, I let out a big WOW

 

[salmagundy]

Now the Cards are laughing at the Braves. Have made several changes for "defensive" purposes.

 

[AJonesATL]

Freddie getting a hit now actually makes you wonder if it is just the pressure getting to him. As soon as it is 10-0 he gets a basehit. Same thing game 1 only gets a homer when already down in the 9th

 

[striker42]

It's sad that JD could hit a 3 run bomb and we'll still be down 7.

Let's not let JD off the hook. He's been atrocious.

 

[Garmel]

Snitker made Freeman boot an fairly routine double play ball?

No, but he makes enough bad decisions that this will occur frequently. You can't manage like it's 1989 in 2019.

You might be onto something. He turns that DP 10 out of 10 times in the regular season but when the pressure's on he boots it.

 

[Dalyn]

We are only 4 3-run innings away from a 2-run lead. I like it.

 

[striker42]

I honestly can't wait to watch Freeman talk to the media after the game.
