Is Sobotka eligible for the playoffs? A friend of mine was telling me that he's not.

There are loopholes if the Braves want him to be

The braves win tonight has quasi radically improved our chances of winning the division.

Mets win

I don't think he is...he wasn't on the roster Sept 1st. I think that's a requirement.

Do they need loop holes for him?

He was on the 40 man and you can always DL somebody to add him if need be

 

[thewupk]

Not sure. Doesn't really matter though as it's something every team does.

How was he not on the 40 man roster.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

He only has to be on the 40 man to be eligible

Don't want to get too confidant but will beat Dodgers imo. It's the Cubs that will give us the most trouble. Their lineup is stacked with LH hitters, Rizzo, Heyward, Murphy and Schwarber. Meaning that Newk has to go against them in game 1or 2 what y'all think?

Don't the Dodgers still have Kershaw? Not super pumped to face him.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Very encouraged by the pen tonight. Hope it's the start of a turnaround.

 

[Prikichi]

Kershaw can't go all 5 games I think

 

[BeanieAntics]

Have you seen Walker Buehler? That guy is a stud

 

[thewupk]

Have you seen Walker Buehler? That guy is a stud

He will tire out in the playoffs

 

[Heyward]

Huge win to not give Philly any momentum, they really needed to sweep this series imo. Even if they take the next 3, they're 3.5 back with no days off and 4 games in Coors.

Not sure Newk makes the playoff rotation.

Folty, Gaus, Sanchez, and Julio should be the playoff rotation in some order barring an epic collapse.

Buehler and Kershaw in LA assume they'd have HFA, and then probably 2 of Wood, Hill, Ryu is no walk in the park mixed in with that lineup is brutal.

We've played well vs the Cubs, the Dodgers whooped our ass SSS or not.

MAGIC NUMBER IS FOUR.

Who in their right mind thought we'd be saying something absurd like that back in Disney??

My lucky hat is tattered, my liver is irrevocably damaged, and the better half is beyond sick of baseball...although she has watched every singe game-- the beautiful thing is my little one has been posting #postseason to his friends (age 12) since May.

What a season- this is my favorite since '82. Or maybe '91. Right there.

The undertaker is lowering the casket of the "throw snowballs at Santa" bastards into the dirt..
