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

[jvett77]

Amazing turnaround by the Braves!

 

[navamind]

What a win. Good luck tomorrow Braves fans.

Who would've thought the Cubs and Cardinals would both remember this season for their closers totally imploding?

Ah well. Still just need to win two in a row. Just don't bring out Martinez again and its not out of the realm of possibility.

I think it’s the Braves series. My sister-in-laws favorite team. And she’s a lovely person.

happily married sister in law?

LOL @ Martinez being a little bitch about Acuna. Acuna is the best in the game at getting in the heads of other latin pitchers.

And what a fucking hypocrite Martinez is. He celebrates a big out as much as any pitcher in the game.

LETS FUCKING GO!!!

You had to know he was either going to hit Acuna or give up a hit to him the way he yelled at him when he "moved" out of the way with his breaking ball (which is a natural reaction Martinez... just an fyi)

Pitchers in general are hypocrites. They have opportunities for retaliating at opposing batters whereas the batter is defenseless.

Shame we waited until the 9th to show any offense. Soroka pitched more than well enough to earn the win.

22 years old, first ever playoff start, 7 innings pitched, 2 hits, 1 run, 0 walks, 7 strikeouts.

Back to back gems by our starting pitchers.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Now. lets go Nats in the night cap.

You're rooting for a divisional rival in the playoffs?

That could spark something though. I mean the way the were getting shut down and then in the 9th to win it... Usually sparks something

Yes. Dodgers own us. We own the gNats

Soroka's a nice change of pace from today's pitchers. Just incredible command.

If the Nats win, and we win, we'd have HFA in the NLDS, and we've handled the Nats this season. Same can't be said for the Dodgers. Playoff Kershaw doesn't exist when he faces us. We handle Scherzer better than most, and Strasburg doesn't strike fear in us either.

We've done that a lot this year. Really, the Dodgers are probably the only team that pulled more wins out of their ass late than us.

Our numbers from the 7th inning on compared to the first 6 innings for our offense are pretty ridiculous for the season.

 

[Mistaken4193]

t never fucking occurred to me that the nats and braves would play each other in the NLCS

This is a fucking nightmare

I was actually pretty sure the Cardinals were tops in pulling late wins out of their ass. Braves definitely evened that up in this series.

So you're telling me there's a chance?
