Swanson gets the golden sombrero....and it's only the 6th inning.

First 6 out work of his career. He’s really calmed the game down.

I think we found out that Eflin can’t close and they didn’t have to lose a game to figure it out. He’s been scored on in every outing in these playoffs.

Nonetheless....it's just game 1...but kudos on the win.
Btw: do you guys have Thor lined up at all to start one of these games?

Not sure what the plan is. I know that Wheeler is Game 2 and Nola is Game 3. I think if the Phil’s win this series they need to win both Wheeler and Nola’s starts. I think Thor/Gibson/Falter are in the mix for game 4. Braves hit lefties well or this would be Falter as a no brainer. Game 4 is a mess in my opinion but if they need Game 5 they can pitch Wheeler on short rest and it’s Nola’s side day so he could come out of the pen if need be because Wheeler would be on short rest.

Today was huge!!! My pathway to winning this had the Phil’s going 2-0 in Wheeler Nola starts and go 1-1 in Games 1 and 4. Now that they have 1 the path is clear. Wheeler and Nola can’t let them up off the mat. Need 13 combined innings out of those guys.
