Former Brave Chris Martin closing out games for LAD over former Brave Craig Kimbrel.

I thought he was consistently good, he just was made of glass. Some sticky stuff issues but mostly health.

Yankees/Indians cancelled tonight. Glad we got in the game last night, 4 games in a row was not looking good.

Congrats to baseball on setting it up such that the only game today - featuring the reigning AL Champs - will be at 3:30 ET. Job well done

Also congrats on a play one game, off two days, play 4 days in a row schedule.

MLB goes out of there way to make it hard to watch a game if you are a fan. They have to be the worse run organized sport in the world.

Former Braves' minor leaguer (briefly) Dylan Moore with a big hit!

 

[Heyward]

Alvarez is ****ing insane

Thank goodness Yordan decided to disappear during the World Series last year.

 

[Heyward]

M's should have walked him in that situation, to be honest though.

Exactly. Really the one guy in that lineup you can't let beat you.

Why intentionally walk a baserunner into scoring position? Alvarez is hot, but Bregman is no slouch. Alvarez has to hit a double to score Pena, but Pena scores on a outfield single by Bregman.

Alvarez may be the best hitter in the game.

Bregman's great, but i'm not pitching to Yordan if i dont have to.

Alvarez may be the best hitter in the game.

He's very good, but the fact remains, he needs to hit an extra base hit to score Pena from first and Bregman only needed a single.

Wow. Astros very lucky with all the rockets hit in the top of the ninth.

 

[Carp]

Alvarez may be the best hitter in the game.

Not even the best hitter in the AL, much less the game.

Right there with him...

Judge .463 xwoba
Alvarez .462 xwoba

Judge has better results...
Judge .458 wOBA
Alvarez .427 wOBA

Man, I hope he's good for 4

 

[bravesfanMatt]

I am very curious what Striders limits will be. I would say the absolute ceiling would be 5 innings or 2 times through. Then let the pen take over and possibly have him available for game 2 of NLCS if we have to go to game 5 against the Faillies.
