Series Thread: NLDS: Atlanta Braves vs St. Louis Cardinals

[Chewbaccer]

Series pretty much over?
I don't think so. This one could go 5.

Every bounce and break went our way last night, and we still found a way to lose, it's over. You can put that loss on our manager. There was no reason to take down Fried after just one inning, especially considering his career numbers against the Cards.

 

[Chewbaccer]

The bottom of the 9th was a little encouraging, we didn't lay down and die, but Snit pulling Fried after just one inning, and then leaving Melancon out there to die was just indefensible.

Mark Richt got fired for leaving his experiment at QB out there to die against Florida.

Or take out Keuchel out after 4 2/3

Braves critical of Acuna's lack of hustle in loss

He's back
Braves stick with Acuna for Game 2 vs. Cards

Then again was there ever any doubt? I'm sure they gave him shit when it happened and he came back and hit a home run later in the game.

The best player in the series stays in the lineup? Nah....no way....

I do like people are giving him crap, though. Maybe itll distract him from hitting so well

 

[Cedrique]

Braves -175 favorites? That seems high given the way Flaherty has been pitching. I guess Folty has been good his last few starts too. But there's no way I could take the Braves at that price.

He's got a bad gyna muscle, er sumthin. Needs to nurse it.

Where are you getting -175? I'm seeing Atlanta +103

Ok, that seems more reasonable. I was looking at ESPN scores. They also have the total at 9.5. I don't know where they are getting that. Too bad I can't be with ESPN

Another way to look at it is that your manager screwed up quite a bit and you guys almost won.

I'm fully expecting this series to find a way to go 5 somehow.

CBS has 8.5 O/U. 9.5 might not be that far off, if Bad Foltynewicz shows up

Tonight is the deciding game. Braves win tonight I feel really good about our chances in Game 3 with Soroka who has like a 1.50 ERA on the road this year.

Gonna be at the game today. The excitement is gone though since the series is pretty much over.

Hopefully Folty is on today. Max Fried has owned the Cardinals. Not sure why he didn't get a spot in the playoff rotation.

Shitker proved last night that's he's a shit-for-brains. The sheer number of bad managerial decisions last night is gargantuan.

Both of tonight's starters have been pitching like their hair is on fire. If both continue that work & are left alone by their managers, tonight could wind up being a 2-1 type of affair.

That's true, if bad Folty shows up 91 degree weather doesn't help him keep it in the park. Then again, I'm getting that temperature from ESPN as well so all bets are off

Mickey Calloway is available

Got a better manager on the bench. Ron Washington or Walt Weiss will do.

Or better still........call up Martin Prado & make him the manager.

I agree but that was a punk ass loss

2-1 in the 8th inning. Final score 7-6.

Both closers got rocked pretty hard

So wait, your team finished 32 games over .500 and your manager has shit for brains??

Tough crowd
