GDT : Braves vs Reds game 2

[striker42]

Looked like Anderson knew it was his last inning and just left it all out on the field.

Castillo back out... I guess being on the verge of elimination I can see it

 

[Heyward]

Fried got a start last year

We went DK-Folty-Soroka-DK-Folty last year.

Man thinking about this rotation with Soroka added in is exciting.

Soroka/Anderson/Fried with Wright, and ? as the 5th is a nice start for 21. Doubt we can get Bauer due to Covid, but thats a nasty top 4 if AA pulled that off.

yet also depressing, because he can't pitch this year.

What was the point of having Matzek warm up? He threw the most pitches out of the pen yesterday.

 

[thewupk]

Who would have predicted that Ian would out-duel Castillo and go six with a lead?

Considering it's the Reds offense...

 

[Enscheff]

Why not Smith?

Wasn't Matzek already up? Looks like it's Smith now and Matzek got up for no reason.

So maybe it was a good thing that the Reds took Senzel before we could

Reds offense maybe isn't that great, and this is a 16-team playoff, not the elite.

But we got 7 shutout innings from Fried and 6 from Anderson, both on their 1st postseason start.

I don't know if we ever got this kind of performance by our starters in 2 consecutive playoff games, not even with Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine...

Every pitcher in the park has gotten superstar results for about 20 innings so far. Something besides good pitching is probably accounting for some of it.

Two shut out starts, no.

95, 96, and 97 had fairly dominant opening rounds.

Castillo out. Go to work on their pen!

Wow based off my analysis from Baseball Tonight’s talking points and my MVP Baseball 2005 Edit-a-player roster updates... Ian Anderson was absolutely awful and is nothing more than a bullpen pitcher! Lolololololol stand by for my next analysis featuring the baseball conversation my 3rd step dad had with me. I’ll make a thread.

I guess it’ll depend on Soroka progress. They’ll definitely bring in another good starter this offseason. Who is anybody’s guess with AA. Milone was a huge bust.

Smart move to take Castillo out. We were seeing him “better.”

Sims in now to face Duvall with d'Arnaud on 1st, 1 out
